Ruth Wilcox was terrified because Yusuf Zuck, with whom she had shared a night of passion, was burning up all over. An eerie purple light flashed on his forehead, and sweat kept dripping from his brow, his body shaking!
"Ruth, get dressed and go outside," Yusuf Zuck said, struggling to sit up. At that moment, his temples throbbed vigorously, and in his mind, seven... no, now, eight Blood Beads were pulsating nonstop, and doing so very rapidly. He felt like his head was going to explode, like his whole body was going to explode.
He hadn't expected this, and he had even less expected that the union of Yin and Yang with Ruth would help him unlock another Blood Bead.
