Chapter 2182
Nicole turned the power on her computer and began to conduct her research on the Fire Crest. The things Steve
had told her about earlier were not as complicated as
Nicole thought it would be. Thus, she began to look into the details of the Fire Crest for a deeper understanding of
what it was.
However, to Nicole's disappointment, there was very little information about the Fire Crest. All she was able to make
out was that the five crests were supposed to represent the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The
owner of these crests would enjoy unwavering support from prestigious families.
"As expected of families with long histories," Nicole sighed as she had no idea of where to start looking for the Fire
Crest.
Nicole bit her lips as she pondered, 'Since I am the bearer of the Fire Crest, which means it might be in close
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtproximity to me somewhere. Perhaps it could be where I had ended up on Crescent Island. I've been there for the
past five years, so before I ended up there... I fell into the sea. Wait, it couldn't be lost in the ocean now, could it? If
it indeed was lost there, it would be pointless to search for it.'
Nicole got lost in her thoughts before the ringing of her phone interrupted her. It was Martin calling.
Nicole answered the phone. "Martin."
"Nicole? How are you feeling?" Martin went straight to the point.
"Nothing out of the ordinary. Same as usual," Nicole replied.
"I altered The Moon again. I wanted to tell you that if you have the time, you can come over and try again." Martin
told Nicole.
Nicole readily agreed, "Sure! There's nothing much for me to do today. I can come over later."
"Sure, I'll wait for you," Martin answered.
Nicole hung up and got out of the office. 'If there's no trace of evidence to find the Fire Crest then I guess I can only
resort to having my memory restored. When there's a will there's a way.'
Soon after, Nicole drove all the way to Martin's R&D lab, where he was already waiting for her.
"You came here really quick." Martin remarked, impressed to see Nicole arriving in such a short time.
"I just happen to have some free time on my hands.
Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten here so quickly." Nicole went inside and sat down, ready to receive treatment
from The Moon right away.
Once The Moon was readily fastened, Nicole leaned back on her seat, trying to relax herself as she reminisced the
pain she had felt during the previous session.
"Relax, you can't do it if you're this tense." Martin comforted
Nicole gently, hoping that she could relieve herself of some of her tension.
Nicole smiled in defeat. "I know, it's just I don't think I can help myself."
'This is not something anyone can restrain or control. It's a muscle reflex.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough there was a hint of distress in Martin's eyes, he eventually spoke up after some consideration. "Let me
adjust the machine. We can start from the lowest level. That way, the pain will be bearable as we slowly progress.
I'll wait for you to get used to it before we crank it up."
"Okay." Nicole uttered, agreeing to Martin's suggestion.
It was not long before the treatment started. With Nicole not feeling any pain as Martin had assured, she then
began to unwind.
Noticing that Nicole was completely relaxed, Martin began to crank the machine up slowly so that it would be suited
to her pain tolerance as much as possible.
Nicole closed her eyes and leaned back, furrowing her eyebrows involuntarily. Martin was beginning to speculate
that Nicole was starting to endure the pain at that level and began to monitor her closely in case the pain was too
unbearable for her.
After scrutinizing Nicole for a while now, he noticed that Nicole's expression remained the same. He had not
cranked up the pain levels and Nicole was still getting used to the pain as she shut her eyes slightly.
Has she gotten used to the pain yet?'
