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 days without seeing any blood at all.”

“However, one day, my stupid nephew Adam secretly ate some stewed pigeon soup. Moreover, he accidentally stained pigeon blood on the yellow paper bag that the jade plug was sealed in. As soon as the blood fell on the yellow paper bag, the jade plug cracked immediately. I’ve already beat Adam up and 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, lightning actually 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 that misfortune was about to fall upon the Quinton family. Moreover, a broken ancestor tablet signified that a member of the Quinton family will die.
