The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 88

One hundred million was spent for a giant clam.

While everyone else deemed Charlie insane, he remained unfazed by their opinions.

On the way home, Charlie explained the auction to Jacob, clarifying that the one hundred million was authorized by the Quinton family, ensuring his father-in-law wouldn’t feel overwhelming fear and panic this time.

Upon arriving home, Charlie immediately started examining the giant clam, with Claire still at work.

The clam was as large as a wheel, its golden and smooth shell polished to perfection.

With a firm push, Charlie broke it into several pieces.

He picked up one piece to inspect it closely.

Sure enough, three white beads were revealed within the thick shell.

These were the essence of the giant clam, known as the Holy Pearl of the Ocean.

Giant clams are considered one of Buddhism’s seven treasures, and the pearls they produce are especially rare and valuable.

Only shellfish that have lived over a hundred years and possess a spiritual essence can create these pearls, which form by absorbing the ocean’s essence.

The Holy Pearl of the Ocean is excellent for refining tools and is hard to come by, which is why Charlie decided to spend a fortune to acquire it.

Charlie discovered a total of three Sea Spirit Pearls from the giant clam, which was quite satisfying.

He then took out the blood dragon lightning wood and used techniques from the “Apocalyptic Book” to create hand gestures infused with Reiki.

As soon as the hand gestures made contact, they unleashed the strongest thunder energy contained within.

When the Holy Pearl of the Ocean encountered this thunder energy, it emitted a faint golden glow, swiftly absorbing the released aura.

Charlie then picked up the Holy Pearl of the Ocean to begin the refinement process for a magical weapon.

Before long, the Holy Pearl of the Ocean started to take shape in his hands.

Next, he retrieved the pearl necklace he had purchased at the auction earlier, selected some pearls from it, and combined them with the Holy Pearl of the Ocean to ultimately create a bracelet.

The remaining giant clam shells were also of top quality for refining.

He chose one of the shells and refined it into a “Stun Talisman,” intending to gift it to Graham.

The stun Talisman, crafted from giant clam shell, was fused with thunder energy specifically meant to dispel evil spirits and exorcise negativity, which would be effective for the Quinton family in dealing with that malevolent force.

After completing these tasks, Charlie noticed several giant clam fragments remained. Seeing that it was still early, he took the fragments to attempt refining a “Thunder Order.”

As recorded in the “Apocalyptic Book,” this Thunder Order is a low-level magical tool designed mainly for summoning thunder and rain.

However, by adding the thunder energy from the blood dragon thunder wood, he enhanced its effectiveness. It can now be used to dispel ghosts, suppress evil forces and even for offensive tactics.

Just as he finished refining the Thunder Order, he heard noises coming from downstairs.

His wife was back.

Charlie quickly tucked the remaining clam fragments beneath the bed and stepped out of the bedroom, holding the newly refined Sea Spirit Pearls.

When he looked up, he saw Claire in the living room, talking to his mother-in-law, Elaine, with a look of exasperation on her face.

Charlie approached and saw Elaine waving her wrist. On it was the jade bracelet Graham had initially gifted him.

Elaine exclaimed, “Claire, this bracelet is simply delightful! When I wear it out, everyone compliments me on it. I feel so proud!”

Claire replied with a hint of frustration, “Mom, didn’t Charlie leave this bracelet at home a few days ago? Why did you wear it without mentioning anything? I thought it was lost!”

Elaine shot back, “I’m your mother! What’s wrong with me wearing it? Let me enjoy it for a few more days and show it off!”

Watching the playful squabble between mother and daughter, Charlie quickly interjected, “Claire, if Mom likes it, let her keep wearing it. I made a new bracelet to give to you.”

“What bracelet?” Elaine exclaimed, as if she had discovered a hidden treasure.

But when she saw it was merely a string of shell beads, she instantly handed it to Claire with a huff, saying, “Another worthless trinket, is it?”

Claire accepted it, slipped it onto her wrist and asked, “Did you make this yourself?”

“Yes,” Charlie confirmed, “This shell pearl bracelet promotes calmness and aids sleep, while also warding off evil spirits and providing protection. I didn’t have much time today, so it’s a bit rough around the edges. I’ll craft you something finer if I get the chance.”

Before he could finish, Claire smiled warmly, saying, “Thank you, I really like it.”

“As long as you love it,” Charlie replied, feeling relieved.

The jade necklace he had previously given Claire was quite valuable, yet she seldom wore it. She typically favored simplicity and paid little mind to gold or silver jewelry, avoiding anything too flashy.

But Claire appeared genuinely fond of this giant clam bracelet.

Elaine, noticing Claire’s enthusiasm for the simple bracelet, muttered discontentedly, “It’s neither gold nor jade, just a string of worthless shells. What good is it?”

Charlie smiled and chose not to engage. It was probably best that Claire remained unaware of its true worth, if she knew this magical bracelet could be sold for at least ten billion, she’d likely reconsider wearing it.

After gifting the bracelet to Claire, Charlie went downstairs, found a local courier and sent both the stun Talisman and the black card to Graham.

This way, he felt satisfied with his actions.

……

At the Quinton Family residence,

Mr. Yaleman was seated in the main hall, his face dark and silent. He had come to Aurous Hill specifically for the giant clam, which housed the Holy Pearl of the Ocean, priceless for crafting a magical instrument.

Yet, he hadn’t anticipated Charlie appearing randomly, ruining his plans and igniting his fury!

Standing nearby, Adam held himself rigidly, his hands at his sides.

The distinguished Mystery Court was well-known and the Quinton family treated Mr. Yaleman with utmost respect.

Graham smiled nervously, saying, “I didn’t expect Mr. Yaleman to visit my humble abode. The Quinton family is indeed fortunate. What brings you here, Master?”

Mr. Yaleman slowly sipped his tea, set the cup down, and replied, “I ran into Adam at the auction, he invited me to assess your family’s fortunes.”

Graham initially intended to reprimand Adam for his impatience, but upon seeing that Steven had invited the esteemed Mr. Yaleman, he tempered his irritation.

“Mr. Yaleman, please, guide us!”

Mr. Yaleman nodded, saying, “If my intuition is correct, the Quinton family has faced misfortune over the past two years. It seems someone in your family is harboring an ominous presence. Last year brought a bloody disaster and as for this year…”

He glanced around dramatically before sighing, “I believe your family’s fortune has reached its end. If this trend continues, negative energy will envelop this house, leading to the Quinton family’s collapse and eventual extinction!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Graham’s face grew pale and he hastily replied, “Mr. Yaleman, you truly are a Master of the Mystery Court. The Quinton family has indeed faced bad luck. Please, assist us!”

The rest of the Quinton family looked on in shock!

Mr. Yaleman was remarkably insightful, his observations were spot-on.

While waiting anxiously for Charlie’s response, Graham was eager to find relief.

The arrival of the renowned Mr. Yaleman felt like a lifeline, prompting him to ask, “Mr. Yaleman, do you have any solutions?”

“Indeed, there is a solution,” Mr. Yaleman replied slowly before suddenly furrowing his brow, “However, I’ve sensed a fraud sowing rumors and misleading people within your household, disrupting the feng shui and hastening the Quinton family’s demise. If this individual continues their deceit, your entire family may face extinction within six months!”
