Chapter 1246 Haunted
The man standing to the side was utterly dumbfounded, his mouth agape in disbelief. It took him quiteat while to regain his composure before he finally turned his head to look at Alex.
He swallowed nervously and said, “You… You’re really from the Elysian Guild! That’s… That’s quiteimpressive.”
With a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, Alex said, “Now do you believe that I’m a capableperson and not some swindler from the streets?”
The man nodded awkwardly, still in shock from the astonishing display he had just witnessed. Alex’spowerful strike had surpassed his imagination; it was something an ordinary person couldn’t haveaccomplished.
The one thing that puzzles me is why he would break the gates to the Elysian Guild so nonchalantly.After all, he is from the Mountain of the Beasts, is he not? Isn’t he afraid of being blamed by ElysianMaster?
The man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. “The gate…”
Alex waved his hand dismissively and said, “No worries, it’s not a big deal. Elysian Master has plenty ofresources, and they can easily replace the gates.”
While he maintained a casual demeanor, deep inside, he couldn’t help but smirk. Those scoundrelsfrom the Mountain of the Beasts not only harmed my father but also kidnapped my son, forcing me tocome to this place. Now, they’re even hiding and avoiding me. Well, consider my breaking the gates asa small lesson for the Elysian Guild,
then!
Alex swore that he would wreak havoc on the Elysian Guild should they fail to return Stanley to himsafely.
Upon hearing what Alex had to say, the man didn’t inquire any further. All he wanted to know waswhether Alex was truly capable, and now that it was confirmed, he felt reassured.
If by any chance, this man turns out to be a fraudster swindling some money from me, it might not be amajor issue. The real concern is that if the problem remains unresolved and word gets out, not only willmy house become unsuitable for me to live in, but no one will dare to buy it in the future.
On the way back, Alex got to know the full details of the situation.

a job in the city and got married to his girlfriend after working for a few years.

One week ago, on a particular night, Quade’s wife got up to use the restroom. As she switched on thelight, she was taken aback to see a little girl wearing a red dress wandering around the living room. Thegirl seemed to move aimlessly until she suddenly vanished by passing through a wall and thenreappeared from the other side.
The sight of the little girl gave Quade’s wife quite the scare, so much so that she fainted on the spotand had to be hospitalized for a few days.
Ever since his wife fell ill, Quade spent those days taking care of her in the hospital. He initially thoughtthat his wife had merely experienced some hallucinations. After all, there was no such thing as demons

and monsters in this world.
However, one day, when he returned home to fetch some clothes, he was shocked to find the little girlin the red dress wandering around his house.
Quade was naturally timid, and encountering a ghost for the first time in his twenty-plus years of lifehad him scared out of his wits. However, unlike his wife, he managed to hold himself together anddidn’t faint from fright on the spot.novelbin
He fled the room in a panic, but he couldn’t just leave the clothes behind. Despite his trembling nerves,he knew he had to gather the courage to go back inside and retrieve them.
Because it was broad daylight, Quade felt slightly braver, which compelled him to summon his courage.and rush back inside the room.
Later, he noticed that the ghostly girl in red seemed completely oblivious to his presence, passing byhim several times without any reaction or attempt to harm him.
He came to the realization that the ghostly girl appeared trapped in a repetitive cycle. Only at three inthe afternoon and nine in the evening would she manifest before wandering aimlessly around thehouse.
Even so, his wife refused to stay in the house any longer and, in a fit of anger, went back to herparent’s home. While she had the option to seek refuge with her parents, Quade had no other place togo.
Terrified to stay in the haunted house, he had no choice but to find a small hotel near his workplace tostay in. While the hotel didn’t have any supernatural entities, the constant noise from people coming
and going at all hours, combined with poor soundproofing, made it impossible for him to get a goodnight’s sleep.
He considered switching to a nicer hotel, but the daily expenses there would amount to hundreds,which was way beyond his means as a low-level employee earning just a little over a hundred per day.It simply wouldn’t be cost-effective to continue like this.
After staying in the hotel for two days, Quade realized that he needed to address the issue at its root.As such, right after work, he came to the Mountain of the Beasts, hoping to seek help from ElysianMaster. Little did he expect to encounter Alex during his visit.
