Chapter 432: Let’s go hunting.
It was a little hard for Cain to continue his tale after Maureen cursed. All eyes turned to her, curious about her reasons for cursing. Maureen gave them a rather surprising answer.
“I don’t like dolls.” she shrugged. “They have those creepy black eyes, and they stare right at you without blinking as if they can see into your soul. Worse, they are made from all sorts of materials. I have seen dolls stuffed with human hair, nails and other body parts. I once found a demon with human skin in a auction house.” She shivered as she remembered that evil doll.
Maureen was certain that whatever Cain Ledger had to say, it would not be good.
Phoebe blinked a few times and turned back to the client; she was intrigued with where the story was heading.
Cain Ledger cleared his throat and elaborated. ” Before I go any further, I need you to understand that I am a businessman and it is not abnormal in business to seek out lucky charms or talismans. They are not only for attracting wealth, but they also help you protect that wealth.
I bought the golden doll from an antique shop found in a temple in the Hanuna Mountains where I had gone to pray with a friend. I was told that the doll brought unparalleled luck and fortune to its owner. All I had to do was burn some incense and give it some offerings like food.
At first everything seemed to improve, my fortune doubled over night, everyone marveled at my good luck. However, it was short lived as strange incidents began to occur.
At first, my docile cat started to hiss and claw at the doll and them misfortunes started to occur, little accidents that happened to me, my servants, family and guests in my house. It became weirder when the position of the doll started to change without anyone admitting to moving it. In the morning it would be in the living room and at night in my bedroom.
Finally, the biggest shock arrived when the doll began to speak to me, whispering eerie things, making demands that I cannot offer.”
Phoebe and Maureen shared a knowing look, they both knew the words eerie, and whisper led down a dark path.
“Things like what?” Phoebe queried. It seemed to her like he had purchased a possessed item.
Cain lowered his head. “Sacrifices!!! first it was animal blood which i gave because it threatened to kill me and my family. Every day for a month, I had a cow, goat or sheep killed for it. But then of recent it changed the demands and requested for human blood.” He paused for breath and looked up at Phoebe.
Human blood! Phoebe was taken aback when she heard about the animal’s blood but human blood. Only demons could possibly ask for something like that, did it mean that the doll was possessed by a blood thirsty demon?
“And?” Phoebe pulled her brows together; she shifted back a little.
Cain met her gaze. “And what?” He asked.
“Did you give it human blood?” Phoebe questioned, if he had she was going to hand him over to the police. He was from another country so he would probably be released within minutes and sent out of Fog country.
Straightening his posture, Cain’s eyes widened. “What__no!” he appeared to be horrified by the question as if it was unthinkable. I would never do such a thing; I refused outright and that’s when my troubles started. Suddenly all my warehouses caught fire, storms destroyed my farms only mine in the entire neighborhood.
My investors pulled out of various projects and my business is under investigation for food poisoning because some people died after eating produce from my farms. I risked my life to come here to see you secretly, if the police in my country finds out that I flew out they will issue an international arrest warrant because they will think I am on the run.
Two of my children are in unexplainable comas, doctors want to pull the plug.” He run his hands through his dark hair. “I have heard from an Elithera that you are good at dealing with such cases. I need your help, please. Help me before I am destroyed completely, I worked too hard to get to where I am.”
Light pity took root in Phoebe’s heart, she had to help him such that his life can return to normal. “You can wait outside, let me weigh the pros and cons of the job and I will let you know whether I will help you or not.” A tiny smile tugged on her lips.
Desperation radiated through Cain’s eyes. “Miss Mayfair, you must help me. My entire family has been affected by this thing, my wife and youngest son have boils on their bodies because of this thing and their lives are being drained. I was told by a warlock that they have three days to decide before it kills them.” Tears trickled down his face and he fell on his knees.
“Sir, you don’t need to kneel, I am going to look into your case right now and make some phone calls.” Phoebe said.
She wanted him to go out so that she could discuss with Maureen in private about the case.
He sniveled while rising to his feet and stepped out of the door.
Connie was wailing, surprisingly. “That poor man, what a sad story. We have to help him; we simply have to.”
The spirit folded its arms. “I know the temple in question but the monks there are such religious people that none would sell him a possessed doll. But there are crooks in the area that masquerade as monks, I believe that he was tricked by one of them. This is what happens when people are greedy.” It shook its head gently.
Grandma Mayfair walked in, from the look in her eyes she wanted to know everything that had happened. “So? What is his story?” She asked.
After narrating the man’s ordeal, she left, and Phoebe finally asked Maureen what she thought.
Maureen sank into the sofa. “I could feel dark energy coming from him, it must be because he has something possessed in his possession. Like you suspected it has to be a demon, but I have encountered countless evil items that are not even possessed so it could also be something else.”
She let out a low sigh. “Well, we cannot let the wife and son die and we have to know what this is and put a stop to it.” She stood up and tore off her apron. “Evil items like those have a way of going around from one owner to another. Some have been at work for centuries.”

“Wait, are we actually going to Silver nation?” Phoebe blinked rapidly
Her aunt nodded. “It will be a chance for you to use those magic bullets that you made, you wanted me to teach you how to hunt evil supernatural creatures so let us go hunting.” She walked out and shut the door behind her.
