Chapter 142 Something Below
Upon hearing Romeo's words, Eliza's eyes lit up with joy. Harlow, on the other hand, lookedfrightened and said, "Dad, no... you don't mean it too?"
Romeo's face turned cold as he glared at Harlow and warned him, "Harlow, you better not goaround blabbering! If your grandmother dies, it'll be because of Miranda and Willis' scheming! Doyou hear me?"
Harlow shuddered before nodding fearfully, "Y-yes... I hear you!"
In the next moment, Romeo took a deep breath before dialing a number.
As the second son of the Lowe family, he naturally had trusted confidants within their clan.
"Rohan. Get rid of Dr. Hughes who saw my mom today! Make sure it's clean!"
After hanging up the phone call, Romeo pondered for a while before saying in a low voice, "Weneed to find an expert medicine practitioner for this matter - someone who is discreet."
Eliza interjected with an idea, "Oh honey? I heard that Dale Hall from Slocmore came to Edolandrecently. He was even practicing at Lifecare Clinic just days ago. Why don't we try contacting him?"
"Dale Hall? Would he do something like this?" asked Romeo skeptically.
"It is said that this renowned doctor is very greedy for money - anything can be done if enough cashis offered," Eliza replied with a cold smirk.
"Alright then... let's give it a try," agreed Romeo with a nod.
His eyes gleamed with anticipation and sharpness as he continued speaking, "For now though... weneed to deal with Mason first over these next few days! We'll use Victoria to our advantage byhaving those skilled family members assigned to Mason work for us instead. Then we'll find anopportunity to completely ruin Mason!"
...
That afternoon Lachlan received Sam's call,
"Mr. Willis, do you have time? Our Reid Group has started construction on one project recently;would you mind coming over and checking out its geomancy?" The young master of Reid Grouppolitely asked.
Actually they already invited another geomancy master but Sam always felt uneasy aboutsomething when working on site here.
Remembering Vincent telling him that Lachlan could help if needed; Sam decided to contact him forassistance.
The boy actually listened to his old man's words... The key was Lachlan's method of detecting thecurse that night, which made Sam greatly admire and trust him.
Lachlan readily agreed and set off after getting the specific address.
The destination was the new development zone in Edoland's south, where Reid's Group planned tobuild a shopping mall. The project was contracted to McLaughlin Construction.
The McLaughlin family was also a powerful clan in Edoland. Otherwise, Darwin could not be friendswith Liam. Only those with similar background strength could play together.
Especially in Edoland's construction industry, half of the projects were contracted by the McLaughlinfamily.
Upon arrival at their destination, Sam greeted Lachlan from afar, "Mr. Willis, thank you! I heard thisplace used to be an unmarked grave site before. I'm not too sure about it and wanted your help."
Lachlan nodded, "No problem at all!"
As he spoke, he used Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique's "Energy Observation" skill toinvestigate this place's geomancy energy field.
Just then two people walked over quickly.
Leading them was a young man who turned out to be Darwin himself. Beside him stood an elderlyman dressed in yellow robes who looked like a wise sage.
"Hmm? Mr. Willis? Mr. Reid, why is he here?"
Darwin saw Lachlan and his face flashed with displeasure.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Although Lachlan indirectly helped the second-generation group by telling them how to break thecurse that night, Darwin still held grudges against him.
Especially when Lachlan teased him with those words while drinking later on; it made Darwin holdonto resentment even more tightly.
"I asked Mr. Willis for help checking out the geomancy," Sam said with a smile.
Hearing this statement caused Darwin's eyebrows furrowed, "Mr. Reid, you can leave this projectmatter up us at Mclaughlin family; you don't have to worry about it yourself."
"I'll keep an eye on things," Sam replied calmly.
"Mr. Reid do you distrust me?" Darwin became somewhat unhappy immediately.
At that moment, the wise-looking old man wearing yellow robes coldly snorted heavily as well.
Darwin introduced Master Soidho as one of Edoland's most famous geomancy masters, "This isMaster Soidho - our renowned geomancy master here in Edoland! Before my family starts anyconstruction projects, we always ask for Master Soidho's advice."
"With Master Soidho here, there's no need to bring in some amateurs. Mr. Reid, you should take Mr.Willis and leave quickly," Darwin said with a sneer at Lachlan before waving his hand.
Master Soidho nodded arrogantly and said, "I've already inspected this site. The geomancy is goodand the energy is auspicious. We can start working confidently without any worries. I have alreadydispelled all the negative energy left behind by the previous burials."
"Great! Thank you for your help, Master Soidho," Darwin smiled and bowed.
However, at that moment, Lachlan looked towards a certain direction of the construction site andnoticed a strand of black energy lingering there.
"This place isn't clean!" he exclaimed as he walked towards where the black energy was thickestbefore stopping and pointing to a specific spot saying, "Dig down from here!"
Sam, Darwin, and Master Soidho followed him over with different expressions on their faces.
"Mr. Willis what's going on?" Sam asked curiously.
"There's something down there!" Lachlan replied coldly.
"Something? Kid, are you questioning me?" Master Soidho's face turned dark as he angrilyquestioned him.
"I'm not questioning you; I'm just being cautious in case anything goes wrong because even wisemen make mistakes sometimes." Lachlan replied calmly.
"Nonsense!" Darwin sneered, "Lachlan, don't think too highly of yourself; compared to MasterSoidho you're nothing but an amateur!"
"Master Soidho has been doing this for so many years without ever making any mistakes."
Lachlan chuckled softly but didn't bother arguing with him anymore while Sam's eyes flickeredslightly before he yelled out to the workers, "Start digging! Dig from here downwards!"
"What do you mean?"
Upon seeing this scene unfold before his eyes, Master Soido became so angry that his face turnedred feeling insulted by their behavior towards him. He snorted coldly then was about to leave whilesaying, "Mr. Mclaughlin, since you don't believe me then I'll take my leave."
Darwin quickly apologized saying, "Master Sohido, please don't be angry! This is Mr. Reid who runsthe Reid Group if I may tell it like it is... this project belongs to them after all."
"He's just a rich young master playing around with an ignorant friend; why bother arguing withthem? Let them play if they want."
"I'll double the fee for this consultation, consider it a favor to me," said Darwin. He couldn't afford tooffend Master Soidho, whose Mclaughlin's Construction company would be needed for futureprojects.
But Sam was insistent on digging, leaving Darwin in a difficult position. He had no choice but to usemoney to appease Master Soidho.
However, he was even more annoyed with Lachlan, who caused trouble.
"Hmph! I hate these young people who pretend to know everything!"
Master Soidho snorted coldly but didn't object when he heard about the extra payment. He walkedaway calmly and approached Lachlan with a stern expression.
"Kid, if you don't find anything today, you'll have to apologize and compensate me for damaging myreputation!"
Lachlan raised an eyebrow in response. "And what if we do find something?"
