The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 89

“What, a charlatan?”

Graham was taken aback and utterly shocked.

Recently, Charlie had been the sole person tending to the Feng Shui concerns of the Quinton family.

Graham held great confidence in Charlie and quickly replied, “Master, could you be mistaken? There truly was a Master Wade who helped me resolve my issues and his methods were remarkably effective. He cannot be a charlatan.”

Mr. Yaleman scoffed and retorted, “Those who deceive are adept at fooling the ignorant. If you choose to believe him, I’ll take my leave!”

“Mr. Yaleman, please stay.” Graham, in a state of panic, urgently stopped him, “Sir, could you please explain what is wrong with his methods?”

Without looking up, Mr. Yaleman extended his hand and pointed toward the main hall. “Bring me a bowl of water.”

Graham quickly instructed someone to bring a bowl of clean water.

Mr. Yaleman took the water, chanted a few incantations over it and then splashed it onto Graham’s eyelids.

As soon as Graham opened his eyes, terror flooded him and he recoiled.

“What is this… what have you shown me…”

He was horrified to see strange black smoke enveloping his house!

Moreover, thin wisps of gray death energy were emanating from the heads of his family members, whose faces appeared ghostly pale, resembling a group of zombies.

Mr. Yaleman let out a dismissive grunt, “I’ve opened your eyes, you see the Yin energy around you, while your family is filled with death energy and does not have long to live.”

Graham was so frightened that he collapsed into a chair, muttering, “What should I do about this?”

“Do not worry. I came today as part of our fateful encounter.”

Mr. Yaleman produced a peace talisman and handed it to a member of the Quinton family.

Graham watched as the talisman emitted a soft golden light that instantly diluted the death energy surrounding the clan member’s head.

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Yaleman made everything Graham had seen vanish, restoring the original scene.

“This… this…” Graham was drenched in sweat and bowed quickly, “Mr. Yaleman, you truly are a godly figure! Please save my family, the Quinton family is willing to pay any price.”

“Saving a life surpasses the worth of a seven-story pagoda. I am here today for that purpose.”

Mr. Yaleman stated, pulling out dozens of talismans to hand over. “Tell your family members to carry these with them, they’ll help ward off bad luck.”

Graham took them gratefully but hesitated, “May I inquire what reward you desire, Mr. Yaleman?”

Mr. Yaleman gestured dismissively, “Warding off bad luck is a merit in itself, I will not accept a penny. However, if charlatans come seeking to deceive you and demand exorbitant fees for magical tools, do not entertain them. At best, you’ll squander your resources at worst, it could lead to your family’s ruin. Keep this in mind.”

Adam interjected, unable to hold back, “Father, I’ve said it before Charlie is a fraud! He took our family’s money and now he’s vanished! We need to recover our money, or I’ll see him prosecuted for fraud, leaving him to rot in prison!”

Aurora frowned, contemplating, I can’t help but think that Mr. Yaleman seems more like a fraud himself.

Charlie may be somewhat questionable and lacks emotional intelligence, but he doesn’t seem all that bad. Most of the time, he gives off an air of mystery, like a bottomless lake.

“Be quiet.” Graham shot a glare at Adam, then turned respectfully to Mr. Yaleman and said, “Thank you for your guidance. I will be more vigilant in the future.”

Mr. Yaleman nodded knowingly and rose to leave.

As soon as he departed, Adam exclaimed, “Father, Mr. Yaleman is a renowned master of the Mystery Court. How can he be compared to a charlatan like Charlie? Thanks to Mr. Yaleman, all the issues our family faced have been resolved and he charged us nothing!”

“True, Mr. Yaleman charged nothing, but Charlie swindled our family for a fortune. He spent over 100 million just to bid on a worthless shell! It’s nothing short of a scam! How could you let him take so much money? If this gets out, people in Aurous Hill will think our Quinton family is foolish!”

Graham mulled over this in silence, yet his expression grew uncertain.

Mr. Yaleman’s reputation was indeed formidable and the things he had shown Graham were so vivid that he couldn’t deny them.

More importantly, Mr. Yaleman hadn’t asked for payment, whereas Charlie had lavished over 100 million during the auction…

The more he thought about it, the more he questioned Charlie’s authenticity.

At that moment, a housekeeper from the Quinton family knocked on the door. Upon receiving Graham’s permission, he entered.

“Graham, there’s a courier for you.”

With that, he handed over a paper box.

Graham frowned and opened the box to find a token resting quietly inside.

Inspecting it closely, he noticed it was merely a thin piece, the size of a matchbox, looped with a cheap red string, resembling wares sold by street vendors at tourist spots.

Graham glanced at the sender and saw the name Charlie inscribed on it.

Looking at the enclosed note, he found it contained just a few simple words: “The Stun Talisman, hang it in the main hall to dispel evil!”

Adam saw this and immediately erupted with anger, “This is outrageous, Father! Charlie thinks you’re a fool! This broken shell could very well be something he picked up from a street vendor! And he claims it can dispel evil?”

“On top of that, he swindled over 100 million from our family only to send us this? He couldn’t even bother to deliver it in person! If Charlie isn’t a fraud, then what is he?”

Adam seethed with anger, “Father, we need to go after Charlie now and reclaim our money! If he escapes, our loss will be unbearable!”

“Be quiet for a moment; let me think.” Graham rubbed his temples, examining the Stun Talisman. He truly couldn’t discern what was special about it.

After a moment of contemplation, Graham gathered the Quinton family and declared sternly, “This is a matter of life and death for our family. I will confront Charlie tomorrow to uncover the truth! You must all wear Mr. Yaleman’s talisman and not remove it recklessly!”

“Yes!”

“Father, I want to go too!” Adam clenched his teeth, “That guy named Wade has caused me so much trouble. Now that I’ve caught a lead, I intend to break his legs myself.”

“Just you? Do you think you can take him on?”

Graham frowned and said, “If you really want to go, then bring a few more bodyguards and figure out where Charlie will be tomorrow, just to be safe.”

After a brief pause, he added, “Remember, I’m not asking you to start trouble with Charlie. I’m just wary that you might act recklessly and get hurt again!”

Adam grinned and quickly replied, “Understood.”

Graham stated coldly, “Even though my Quinton family isn’t at the top of the hierarchy, I will not permit others to bully us. If anyone dares to do so, we will retaliate! I must uncover the truth behind this matter and should it turn out Charlie is indeed deceiving us, he won’t get off easily!”
