Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Deal.

Luke held a moment of silence, pondering on Luna’s words. In fact, he had the opposite opinion to the rest of the family, he thought that Phoebe having the protection of an Elithera wasn’t such a bad thing.

Her line of work was dangerous, no matter how many precautions they took, something could always slip through the net.

She had been attacked in or near her cafe a number of times, three if he remembered correctly. One attacked led to her strangulation and another her kidnapping, which happened despite her having ghosts, magic and bodyguards.

Now, with Ruth on the lose with the help of an unknown enemy, nothing could be left to chance. The more eyes he had on her, the safer she would be.

If Luna wanted to use Phoebe, why couldn’t Phoebe do the same and use Luna?

While he was thinking, his fingers were drumming against the solid brown table top. Once he came to a decision, they stopped.

“Is that all?”

Nodding her head, Luna smiled knowingly, she had won him over.

“I like Phoebe but she has made a lot of enemies. I heard the Verdemonts are unhappy about the foundation and they are planning to take back their fortune from her. They recently reached out to the Dohwa family of Silver nation, they are looking to hire assassins. Your sister is in danger, she just doesn’t know it yet.”

Luke clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it down. His entire aura changed, his eyes became intense and danger emanated from him.

“Those damn Verdemonts, i think Citrus city is becoming too small to contain our two families. I am going to handle them personally.”

Luna felt her blood stir, the attraction she felt towards Luke grew a little more. This was a side of him that his family was not familiar with, and she felt giddy being the only one clued in on his secrets.

“I am here, i will help you deal with them. Luke, you have a partner in me if you desire.”

Luke sneered. “I am nothing like you. I will try to speak with granny and the whole family about your matters. We can be cordial or friends or whatever but don’t you ever threaten me again. I never killed anyone with those poisons…..”

His speech was interrupted by Luna. “Oh I know that you only used them to torture those that hurt your sisters by making them hallucinate or suffer immense physical pain but there are those for whom hallucination is not enough.”

Luke let out a heavy sigh. “How did you know about my private business?”

“I was investigating about Ruth, i discovered that the men that once kidnapped her as a child had suddenly regained full health after a Dr. Luke visited them, this was after Ruth was discovered to be a cuckoo.

They were not the only ones, a few other people that harmed Ruth in the past and fell ill miraculously recovered recently.

The detectives that assaulted Phoebe fell sick, their bodies show signs of radiation but it’s not radiation.

Last but not least, while in the asylum, Ruth exhibited side effects of floral bomb poisoning, she must have scratched her skin off.

You did it, you poisoned all those people. When you decide that they have suffered long enough, you provide an antidote, your own concoction that is not on the black market.”

She studied his handsome face, beneath the kind mask was a cruel man that knew his limits, he was not a blind killer even though he could be. He was her exact type in every way.

Luna lifted her chin, proud of herself.

“You are impressed, right?”

“I should be more careful going forward.” Luke rubbed his chin. “I should also do less business with your family, i should have known better than to trust information peddlers.”

Luna laughed slyly, she was confident that he would not stop doing business with her family. She stretched her hand forward, requesting for a handshake to close the deal.

“We are partners now, or avengers for those that hurt our girl.”

Luke nodded and accepted her hand. “Agreed.”

*********************

It had been two hours since Phoebe went back to the Mayfair mansion. She had eaten, bathed and settled in her bedroom but Black kitty and Sylvester were yet to return.

She was growing antsy, the longer they were apart from her, the more worried she became. What if they encountered danger?

Unable to stand the waiting, Phoebe picked up a time keeper’s pocket watch and looked at it. She wanted to go back to the five minutes before the fire at Lockhart started but they did not have a specific time yet.

She did not want to waste using energy and go to the wrong moment in the past.

“They are back.”

Suddenly the Saxon spirit gasped and shared.

Phoebe rushed to the window and opened it, then it hit her that they could move through objects like walls and windows which made her feel silly.

She closed the window and turned around, seeing the black cat and Sylvester.

“How are you guys? Is anyone harmed?”

“You would know if they were harmed, you would feel it.” The Saxon spirit reminded her.

Phoebe slapped her head lightly. “I feel like i am becoming dumber.” she mumbled. Then loudly, she asked, “What did you find? Where is that bitch hiding?”

The Saxon spirit did not wait for enlightenment from the cat and ghost, she pulled out the central map and put it on the bed.

“If they put a location talisman, we can track the path of her movements.”

Connie dashed out of the space with a bigger world map and she put it down as well.

“Sylvester told me that Ruth has been flown out of the country.” she loudly shared.

On the world map, they saw that it was exactly as Connie was saying. A line which represented the talisman was moving at an incredible speed, departing from a private airfield.

Phoebe noticed six dots on the map, identifying the people on that plane.

“What is this?” she asked.

“She was taken by a group of unidentified men onto a private plane. One of them knows magic, the others were normal. I put upgraded location talismans on the normal men, we can track their movements for at least one year as long as the warlock doesn’t sense it.” Sylvester beamed.

The Saxon spirit jutted her jaw forward with a look of pride in her eyes.

“Of course he can’t sense it, those talismans are some of my finest work.”

Phoebe smirked. “Great job Sylvester, Connie, ancestor, Kitty and Yin. Everyone has done a good job. Now, we just need to know where the plane lands.

I will share the location with David and he can send his men to keep an eye on our enemies. It will be better if we infiltrate them, ancestor i need you to teach me the art of puppetry. ”

The Saxon spirit flexed its hands, eager to get started. Nothing motivated Phoebe faster than the desire for revenge.

It felt slightly sorry for Ruth, she had no idea the pain that Phoebe had kept in store for her and her warlock assistant.

Phoebe looked at her phone and she smiled out of the blue. “By the way ancestor, i hope you don’t mind but i am now ready to go after Dickson.”

“Why would i mind, destroy that evil thing. I will lend a hand if you need it.”

Phoebe approved of the ancestor’s attitude, she thought that the spirit would harbor some sentiments of love towards Dickson since he was her descendant. She was wrong, the ancestor wanted him to suffer even more than she did.

“Do you plan to kill him?” The spirit asked.
