Chapter 58 A Plan Visit

Amber frowned at Jonathan’s words, thinking he had gone too far. Isn’t he simply trying to rip off Dilbert’s asset?

Despite knowing that, she did not say a word. After all, she wasn’t planning to ruin his plans.

Meanwhile, Dilbert began contemplating the people he could transfer the property to.

At this moment, Jonathan suggested, “I know what you’re thinking, Mr. Jacobus. You’re thinking of transferring it to someone who’s unaware of the situation, right?”

Dilbert smiled awkwardly as Jonathan had rightfully pointed out his thoughts.

The latter added in a stern tone, “What goes around comes around, Mr. Jacobus. Nobody would be pleased to deal with your consequences, especially when it comes to vengeful spirits. In your situation, it’s not wise to transfer it to just anybody. If someone were to die because of it, you would have added sins onto your hands, and the outcome would be far more miserable.”

Perturbed, Dilbert begged, “What should I do, then? Does that mean I can only await my death?”

It wasn’t because Dilbert wasn’t smart or shrewd enough. However, the vengeful spirit legend in Golden Years had troubled him for many years. Moreover, as a businessman, he had also done some shady things. As such, he knew there was a chance that karma could bite him in the ass someday.

Although it was often said that one would have nothing to fear as long as they had a clear conscience, this wasn’t always true in reality. Even if one did nothing wrong, they could still be paranoid about the unpredictable. Besides, Dilbert did commit abhorrent acts.

Upon witnessing the man’s fearful expression, Jonathan said, “Actually, there is a way, but I’m hesitant to tell you, Mr. Jacobus.”

“Tell me, quick. I’m begging you, Jonathan. If you can save me this time, I will regard you as my life benefactor in the future!” said Dilbert.

“You have to transfer Golden Years to someone resilient. Only then will the resentment aura of the vengeful spirit be curbed.” After a pause, Jonathan continued, “If you’re willing to transfer it to me, I can give it a try. I’ve been wanting to tell you that I have the intention to neutralize your problem. However, you treated me as though I’m a swindler that’s trying to cheat you out of the establishment earlier.”

Dilbert was overwhelmed at the turn of events, still feeling slightly dazed. After all, it did seem like Jonathan had come to con his property.

At this moment, Jonathan went on, “How about this, Mr. Jacobus? To prevent you from thinking that I’m a swindler, I’ll purchase it with two million. What do you think? That’s the maximum sum I can offer. Indeed, I do have my personal reasons for this. That is to help the vengeful spirit in Golden Years to reincarnate. For that to happen, the property has to be transferred to me so that the consequences would be mine to deal with. If everything goes smoothly, I might even reap a profit due to the increase in value of the establishment. If not, I only have myself to blame should I lose my life in there.”

“Two million?” Dilbert’s eyes sparkled at the mention of the money. He instantly replied, “No problem, Jonathan! Thank you so much for this! You’re my savior!”

Golden Years had been a thorn in Dilbert’s side for a long time. He once thought that he would sell it as long as someone offered one million. In the end, he practically wanted to give it away for free. Now that Jonathan was willing to pay two million for it, it had greatly exceeded Dilbert’s original expectation. Even though Jonathan mentioned that the property value would increase after getting rid of the vengeful spirit, Dilbert was aware that Golden Years was already notorious for being haunted.

Thus, nobody would dare to purchase the property even if everything was fixed.

At the thought of this, Dilbert became satisfied with his decision.

Shortly after, Jonathan and Amber departed from the man’s mansion. Dilbert was utterly passionate about the sale. He told Jonathan he would get the documents ready by tomorrow afternoon. In response, the latter promised to wire the money over after leaving too. This concluded the business transaction. With Amber present, Dilbert did not dare to pull any tricks, nor did he intend to. In fact, he was more terrified of Jonathan going back on his words!

When they were out of the mansion, Jonathan drove the car while Amber sat in the passenger seat.

Unable to read the man next to her, she inquired, “Why did you spend so much time and effort on Dilbert if you already intended to offer two million in the first place? I had thought you were planning to con him out of the property. You should’ve known that even if you didn’t say all that, he would’ve sold it to you with your offer.”

He answered, “Efficiency is what matters here. Dilbert is a businessman. If I were to offer to purchase it, he would definitely have a lot to consider to maximize his profits. It would take ages to negotiate the price. However, I’ve already planned to visit Golden Years tonight to investigate the place. Hence, all that was to make him be grateful and handle everything faster.”

Amber was enlightened.

Recalling something, Jonathan added, “Oh, right. I’m acquainted with Jimmy. I gotta give him a call and ask why he hadn’t collected protection fees from Yara. Back then, she wasn’t even a vengeful spirit yet.”

She nodded and remarked, “Pull up by the side of the road. Let’s switch. I’ll drive.”

The duo exchanged their seats after pulling over by the roadside. Then, Amber became the one driving while Jonathan called Jimmy.

After some pleasantries, he went straight into the topic at hand.

The initially cheerful Jimmy fell silent after hearing Jonathan’s words. He said, “That Yara Carter wasn’t an ordinary person.”

Intrigued, Jonathan asked, “Oh? What do you mean by that?”

Jimmy replied cautiously, “I’d advise you not to have any ideas on Golden Years, Jonathan.”

Nonetheless, Jonathan paid no heed to it and said, “It will be better if you can tell me what’s not ordinary about Yara, Jimmy.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Hearing that, Jimmy knew whatever he had to say would ultimately be in vain. Thus, he blurted out, “Do you know about spiritual energy?”

“It’s kind of similar to hypnosis, right?” answered Jonathan.

“Yes. That Yara had incredible spiritual energy in her. When our eyes met, I felt as if I had fallen into the deep abyss of hell. Such a person was not ordinary at all. Hence, there was no way I dared to offend her.”

Finally, Jonathan understood the situation. He hung up the phone soon after.

“What’s wrong?” Amber immediately asked.

He pondered for a moment before answering, “I seem to understand certain things now.”

“Understand what?” she questioned in confusion.

“This fake Yara was a powerful hypnotist while she was alive. A real hypnotist possesses extraordinary spiritual energy. On that note, spiritual energy derives from brain waves. The more powerful the brain waves, the stronger the soul would be. Yara’s soul is exceptionally strong, so coupled with her resentment, it survived. With the addition of a certain treasure in Golden Years, she then became increasingly formidable.”

Amber couldn’t help frowning. “The more powerful she is, the more it is to our disadvantage. How do you propose we enter tonight? If what you claim is true, don’t you feel scared about entering the place? I don’t think I can control myself if something out of the ordinary appears.”

“We must enter tonight. However, I’ve prepared something in advance to deal with this fake Yara. It should hold her off somehow. Whatever it is, everything will be made known tonight,” stated Jonathan.

Amber felt excited yet terrified at his words. It was a truly conflicting feeling.

Not long later, she had sent him back to his residence. As it was close to noon, Jennifer invited Amber to stay to have lunch with them. Jonathan chimed in, “Stay and have lunch with us, then. Rest well today so that we can be ready for tonight.”

Therefore, Amber stayed on as per their request.

Jennifer had made a large spread for lunch, being the virtuous lady she was. It would be every man’s dream to marry a woman like her.

Alas, Jonathan wasn’t someone who wanted to settle down.

After their meals, he and Amber went out again to purchase two small gas cylinders and electric ignition sources. With a press of the switch, the electric flamethrower would produce a blue flame.

Amber’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Do you plan to use this to deal with the vengeful spirit?”

Jonathan replied earnestly, “Yes. Spells can merge with the surroundings’ energy and often affect weather conditions. They are substances with mysterious powers that can only be produced by a true expert. Alas, that is not me. Thus, we can only make do with this.”

“All vengeful spirits fear negative energy objects. Hence, they are most afraid of hot items. This flamethrower can produce a flame hot enough to melt steel. Therefore, the vengeful spirit won’t be able to withstand it for sure. You’re indeed clever, Jonathan. If only we thought of this in the past, we would not have sacrificed so many of our colleagues,” remarked Amber.

The man smiled faintly.

With this tool in hand, Amber felt more confident.

Following that, Jonathan took her to buy air-tight raincoats and oxygen masks.

“What is this for?” she questioned.

He explained, “The resentment aura in Golden Years is too strong. Over the years, it has amassed and turned into toxic gas. Once a human enters, the gas will hit them. Thus, with the raincoat and oxygen mask, we’ll be able to overcome the issue.”

Amber grinned. “Although everything you said sounded out-of-this-world, it has a scientific basis to them. Therefore, it convinces others, unlike those who speak of inexplicable phenomena. Still, they were utterly shocked when they witnessed it with their own eyes.”

Jonathan chuckled. “Everything works for a reason. There’s no way humans can fly without any basis. There must be certain logical principles behind it.”

Jonathan and Amber returned to the rented house to rest after purchasing the items.

At eight in the evening, the duo prepared all the equipment and got ready to set off.

“Why must we set off at night? Can’t we go in the day?” Amber asked curiously all of a sudden.

Stunned, the man explained, “In ordinary circumstances, spirits are negative energy objects who love nighttime. However, the situation is different for Golden Years. The accumulated resentment aura is too active in the place. During the day, positive energy isn’t able to penetrate the bar at all. However, at nighttime, negative energy can help lessen the resentment aura, which gives us a perfect opportunity to enter.”
