Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: A treasonous family.

It was a gamble, David knew but he took it anyway because there was no way he was going to allow Phoebe to die again. He would much rather take the bullet for her.

“I have never killed a Saxon before but i am sure that nobody will be coming after us as long as your body is never found.” Lorraine declared arrogantly.

She got her gun and placed the barrel of David’s chest. Looking into his eyes, she licked her bottom lip and smiled.

“Aah, there is one more treasure here, those wonderful white hairs on your head.”

The large man, Axe chuckled as if it was so funny.

Laughter suddenly came from a dark corner and every eye turned that way. A short blonde fully haired man adorned in an eye catching expensive silk shirt with floral patterns came forth, revealing his face.

“Saxon!! I will be damned, i didn’t think that you would be the kind to get your hands dirty by digging through the ground for wealth. You should have introduced yourself first and told us that you wanted some of the treasure for yourself. Everyone stand down.”

The man was Arnold Dewayne, a descendant of the treasonous governor. He stretched his hand to greet David who snubbed him. He was clearly in disagreement with what Arnold was doing.

The man took out a small pistol and aimed it at David. “How dare you act high and mighty in front of me? Well this treasure belongs to my ancestor after all and i don’t plan to share. David Saxon, you and your friends can go to hell.”

Phoebe had successfully identified the one in charge of the grave robbing ring and she figured it was time to wrap things up.

“Now.” Phoebe told the ghosts.

The ghosts blew sleeping dust in the faces of the grave robbers and they all fell to the ground one by one. Phoebe sprung into action, not waiting. She grabbed a few coins, gold and silver ones that had fallen on the ground.

Her actions shocked the men who were still reeling from what they could only deem as a near death experience. They could not believe how calm and composed she was or she was quickly sweeping up treasures as if she was on a marathon. She was even faster than the grave robbers themselves.

David started disarming the robbers just in case one of them woke up suddenly and decided to touch that trigger. Edward bent down to catch his breath and control his shivering while Andre picked up his camera and walked forward to record the loot without capturing his thieving sister.

“Here.” The Saxon spirit tossed a small box into the air. Phoebe leaped up and caught it, and she put it away in her bag.

In reality, she sent it to the magical space just like most of the things she was touching.

“The soldiers will be here in five seconds.”

Phoebe run back to the side of her father, pulling Andre with her. Barely a second later, Amon, the general and heavily armed soldier’s appeared, brandishing their weapons and announcing their presence heavily.

Phoebe and group made way, exposing the grave robbers.

“Who are these?” Amon kicked Axe who was nearest to his feet.

“That is Arnold Dewayne, he was here to apparently claim his ancestors treasure.” Phoebe spoke sarcastically so helpful in volunteering the information.

It was funny to her how the man had made a ridiculous claim yet it was his ancestor that led to the death of so many people.

The general laughed mockingly. “That’s ridiculous, initially I was going to suggest that we keep what we know under wraps just to protect the honor of the Dewayne family but now it believe that the country deserves to know who the traitor was. A whole bunch of treasonous folks is what they are.”

Like his nephew Amon, the general kicked Dewayne with contempt on his face.

Amon approached and asked if Phoebe was okay but before she could respond David spoke up.

“Of course she is okay, that’s my role to worry about, not yours.” He swerved Amon’s hand away from Phoebe’s shoulders.

In response Amon chuckled and rested his hands on his waist, looking around at the bones and surviving treasures mixed together.

“So this wasn’t an earthquake like the original report said, this idiot and his criminal gang blew up the place for a few damn treasures.”

The general chortled. “A few? Come on son, look at that!! We are going to place these in the museums and the national treasury is going to get richer when all this gold is added into it. I am sure that there is a lot of it still here.” He signaled his men to remove the rubble that was still blocking the path.

“No sir! My daughter says that it shouldn’t be moved.” Edward rushed and stood in front of the soldiers that were moving forward.

In his mind, he had experienced enough adventure for the day, evil spirits did not need to be added to the list. He was all but ready to grab his children and hightail it out of the cave.

The general used his hand to stop his men.

“Why not?” He was not one that liked his authority to be undermined especially by civilians but Edward Mayfair wasn’t an ordinary civilian, he could cause significant havoc and shake some people in the government if he wanted to.

Amon pulled his uncle to the side. “Uncle, have you forgotten about the other reason why the special team is here? We can feel them down there, clamoring for souls, bursting with evil intent.”

By we he was referring to himself and the other ghost catchers and exorcists. Many of them were itching to get started and had their weapons drawn, not just bells but swords, wooden staffs and even a fan in Rekha’s hands.

His voice was low but sober, it was too risky to ignore his words. The general hailed from the Drusus family, he knew of the ghost catching talents some family members possessed, however he had orders from his superiors and that was to secure all the fortune and remains of the fallen soldiers of Fog country.

He was more worried about the treasures being destroyed in the fight which would ensue. Evil ghosts did not exactly vanish obediently.

The general turned and faced Phoebe who was watching him like a hawk.

“How about you ghost hunting folks get rid of the evil guys as we get the treasure out, that’s a win-win for everybody.” He tried to reason with them.

His words brought about a debate for most soldiers laughed sarcastically, they couldn’t believe that the general believed the bullshit.

“Come on Sir!!! Let’s just get the jewels and get out of here, i am yet to see one ghost with my naked eyes.” Said the team captain.

His words elicited laughter from the group, not until he began to float in the air. Suddenly the laughing soldiers went quiet, trembled and some even run out there.

“Put him down, they get the point.” Phoebe told the Saxon spirit that was lifting the now unconscious soldier.

Rekha had been quietly staring at them wondering why this was even up for debate, she walked forward and stood in front of the general. “Listen Sir, with all due respect, you are familiar with these things. If you carelessly move a single thing in this place, it will be like opening Pandora’s box. Listen to your nephew.” Her words were exactly what all the special soldiers were thinking.
