Chapter 144

Graham’s face was pale and his body trembled slightly, as though he was really in fear.

Charlie frowned before he asked in a faint manner, “Did the jade plug crack?”

“Mr. Wade, you really are a master! I can’t believe that you’ve actually guessed it right.”

Graham’s voice was very soft as he sighed, “Initially, we followed all of your instructions without fail.After sealing the jade plug off in the yellow bag, our entire family ate vegetarian food for seven dayswithout seeing any blood at all.”

“However, one day, my stupid nephew Adam secretly ate some stewed pigeon soup. Moreover, heaccidentally stained pigeon blood on the yellow paper bag that the jade plug was sealed in. As soon asthe blood fell on the yellow paper bag, the jade plug cracked immediately. I’ve already beat Adam upand locked him up at home but strange things are still happening!”

Charlie frowned before he asked, “What kind of strange things have you encountered?”

Graham hurriedly replied, “Last night, there was a violent thunderstorm. Unexpectedly, lightningactually struck and scorched the century old osmanthus tree in the Quinton family courtyard.”

“Besides that, the tablet of the Quinton family’s ancestors, which was enshrined in our ancestral hall,actually fell to the ground and broke into half for no reason at all. This is a terrible omen!”

Charlie frowned as soon as he heard Graham’s words. From the perspective of Chinese Feng Shui,planting an osmanthus tree in the courtyard was a symbol of wealth and good fortune.

However, since the osmanthus tree was scorched because it was struck by lightning, this indicated thatmisfortune was about to fall upon the Quinton family.

Moreover, a broken ancestor tablet signified that a member of the Quinton family will die.

Charlie really did not expect the spirit contained in the jade plug to be so evil and ominous. Moreover,he did not expect it to be so powerful just because of a drop of pigeon blood.

When Graham did not get a reply from Charlie, he could feel his heart beating frantically. He continuedpleading over the other end of the line, “Even though the Quinton family has been involved in thebusiness industry for many generations, I’ve always been kind towards others. I’ve never doneanything to harm nature or hurt anyone at all. Mr. Wade, please help me save my family.”

At this time, Charlie could only reply, “Mr. Quinton, I would really like to save you but it seems asthough the spirit in the jade plug is really very powerful. Since Adam has been carrying the jade plug onhim for so many years, it seems as though it has already bound itself to the Quinton family. Therefore,there is no way that we can deal with it by just using a simple talisman.”

“What should I do now, then? The Quinton family is suffering from so much misfortune. This is reallyunfortunate for the entire family!”

Graham sighed as his voice trembled.

Charlie replied at this time, “The evil spirit gains strength when it gets blood. Now that it has madecontact with pigeon blood, I am afraid that the only way we’ll be able to subdue this spirit is byborrowing the power from the heavens.”

“Alright then, Mr. Wade. I will definitely get you anything you need even if it means losing my entirefortune.”

At this time, Charlie replied, “Well, it so happens that I will be participating in an auction held at theTreasure Pavilion tomorrow. I will check out the auction and see if there are any spiritual relics we’d beable to use to help you and your family. As for whether we will be able to win the bid for the items, thatwill really depend on your luck.”

“Alright. I’m really sorry to have caused you so much trouble, Mr. Wade.” Graham could not stopthanking Charlie.

After that, he quickly continued, “Mr. Wade, I will come over to drop off my black card tomorrow. Youcan just use the black card to purchase anything you need.”

Charlie snorted. Since he was doing the Quinton family a favor, he should obviously not have to spendhis own money.

At this time, Charlie simply replied, “Mr. Quinton, you should be mentally prepared. It is not so easy toobtain any spiritual relics and sometimes, we will not be able to purchase it even if it is available.Therefore, whether we will be able to purchase the spiritual relics at the auction tomorrow or otherwisewould really depend on your luck.”

Graham answered, “Yes, I will also look for the spiritual relics on my own. However, I’m afraid I’d stillhave to trouble you, Mr. Wade.”novelbin

After the incident at Antique Street, Graham had already sought out a number of well-known spiritualmasters to get rid of the evil spirit. However, they would simply take one look at the Quinton familymansion before waving their hands and leaving in a hurry because they did not even dare enter themansion.

Therefore, Graham’s only hope was Charlie.

In fact, Charlie did not understand why this was happening.

Graham should have a peaceful and happy life because he had never done anything to harm anyoneelse in this life.

Unexpectedly, in a twist of fate, his nephew, Adam turned out to be someone who would turn his entirefamily upside down. If Charlie had not saved him the other day, the entire Quinton family would havebeen destroyed within a year.

Moreover, Graham and Adam would not be the only ones gone from the face of this earth. His beautifuland hot Aurora would be dead too!
