Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: The price of safety.

Luna’s eyes which were now frighteningly cold turned to her mother whose lack of foresight in this situation was disappointing.

“Mother, do you think that somebody who covets the wealth of our family will stop? Uncles, are you of the same mind as my mother, do you doubt the abilities of that little shaman?

How many doctors, priests and other magic related individuals did we invite over and yet none of them provided a solution to my father’s illness.

The only one that had an answer said it was a curse but he could not break it. The only one that has found things we all missed is her. If she is not the real deal, how did she know about the pillow? Where did she find the puppet doll which looked like my father? Isn’t that evidence enough to prove that she is not a schemer?”

None of them could explain those things, there was no logic to all that Phoebe had done.

“You saw the undead animals, do you want to claim she hypnotized us into seeing them? Look, if what she said about our Elithera empire falling in three years is true then we have more than one enemy.

We need to find out who brought the land deal in Eagle country to us, i signed off on it but i barely remember the details. Normally, we inspect land before purchase, how did i buy land at such a high price without an inspection? Don’t you find that abnormal”

The second uncle nodded, “The fire at hotel, i told our people not to investigate further and just compensate victims. Truly, now that i think about it, how did i make such a decision? Were we all bewitched?”

“I would never commit suicide.” Luna’s mother declared. “Even if i did, it would not be in such a violent way like jumping off a bridge. I am Judy Elithera, i have always craved for a peaceful death, i would choose pills if i had to kill myself.”

She was still thinking about the future which Phoebe had predicted for them.

“And i am an expert swimmer that once represented Fog country in the Olympics so why would i drown?” Luna added.

The second uncle sat down, deep in thought with both hands clenched, it was obvious that someone was plotting against them. “It’s a conspiracy against our entire family, you are right Luna, this cannot be the work of a single person.”

His phone rung and he scoffed when saw the name of the caller. “Look, sixth brother is calling.”

He put the phone on loudspeaker.

“Hmm, what’s up?”

“Second brother are you at the hotel, has something happened to our elder brother?” he immediately asked.

He sounded frantic, and the people in the room traded knowing gazes, it had been confirmed, the little shaman was right. One of their own was truly involved deeply in this conspiracy.

“Second brother, i have contacted a great doctor from the South and i am bringing him over to look at elder brother. I need Luna to authorize permission for this to happen…”

“Sixth, i will have to call you back later, i have to go to the police and ask for a re-investigation into the fire. I think we owe the victims an explanation, as for Duncan’s matters, let Luna handle them for now. We have given up on saving him, in a month, we will hold his funeral.”

“What! wait…no..”

The second uncle hung up abruptly before hurling his phone at the wall.

“That ungrateful bastard! The shaman talked about backlash and the culprit making inquiries immediately and look, sixth brother has done exactly that. I am going to kill him right now, i will rip his heart out with my own hands, i do not care if he is my brother. We have no relationship from this day forward.”

As he thought about his death that the shaman had predicted, he was filled with more and more rage. Insider trading and selling secrets to Eagle country!!! how could he set him up to be a traitor to their nation? What a good brother he was!

“Second uncle, you need to remain rational and capture the sixth uncle for interrogation. Pry his mouth open using every means possible, if he doesn’t talk send him to me.

Mom, we need to know everyone that he has been in contact in with and all his movements in the weeks leading up to dad’s sickness. For now, i will be staying here permanently until he recovers. Hotel staff and relatives will not be allowed onto this floor, not even you guys.

It will be suspicious if i meet up with you but turn away everyone else, the enemy will see through us quickly.”

Her phone rung and Luna picked up immediately, after ten seconds she hung up with a smile on her face.

“Uncle, a witness has suddenly showed up with a video recorded on the day of the fire, he wants one hundred thousand dollars. I guess there is something he recorded that we need to see.”

Her third uncle waved his phone from side to side. “Two of our former sea food suppliers have contacted us, they want to renew their contracts.”

Luna smiled, “Things are turning around now that the spell has been broken, the little shaman is really good. Now do you see why i paid that 200 million mother, it was the price of tying her to us. If we cultivate a good relationship with her, we can add another layer of protection to the family.”

All of Luna’s uncles agreed and so did her mother. They dispersed and got to work, now that they knew about the enemy, it was time to launch counterattacks.

Phoebe’s work was not done either, she was still very much interested in knowing the warlock or witch or perhaps shaman that had made the talisman.

She gave the job to Yin and Black kitty, if anybody could track the dark magic that had been used, it was him. If the animals found nothing, she intended to contact Luna and see what the Elithera’s had discovered.

She took a bath, washing away the stench of the rotten sage.

The Saxon spirit which had insisted on accompanying her as she took the bath was sitting on the toilet with is legs crossed.

“Are you really going to go after the person responsible?”

Phoebe nodded.

“Someone has to eradicate evil from the world, i will speak to Amon first about whatever i find. If the founding sect can settle the issue, i will not be involved. Either way, it needs to be done because eventually the one that cast the spell might come after me.”

“Then you need to train more.” It advised.

Phoebe stepped out of the shower and grabbed the nearest white towel to wipe down her body.

“I am on vacation ancestor, i need a break.” She had zero plans to train for at least two days.
