Chapter 059 Ghost Array
…
Four days passed, Jisoo decided to give them another extra day, and the time for her and Arthur to return had finally arrived. She has gained so much in this trip to the ancestral home of the Tangs that she felt really happy. Plus she gets to know Arthur more. She likes his serious attitude on things… and sometimes his domineering attitude.
But there is this nagging feeling deep inside of her that tells her that he is not into women.
The reason for this is that he would always stop in the most crucial part of their… flirting.
He would frown and then give her that suspicious gaze like she is doing something that is not to his liking.
However, she did not care as she likes being with the guy.
After staying in the ancestral home of the Tangs she has gained more Reiki in her dantian which has now turned into a shallow lake.
This made her really happy.
She can now use more spells and more of her ability. And this in turn will give her enough money to make their lives better.
When she was a sect leader, money is of no worth to her at that time. But now that she has a family with her, she knew of how important having money is.
When she sees Arthur spend money like it was nothing, it made her set a goal to be independent and to work hard to make sure that she could live comfortably in this world while also working on her other goals.
Arthur drove the car on their way back to the city.
However, it seems that people are targeting them as she suddenly noticed a few cars following behind them.
"These guys are really persistent…" she muttered as she looks behind them.
Three black cars are following them and are currently speeding on the freeway.
Arthur looks at the back mirror and saw the three cars.
He floored the accelerator and the car speeds up.
"Hold on to something!" he said with a hint of worry.
But Jisoo showed a faint smile on her face as she even opened the window of the car.
Then she focused her Reiki on a needle and then one-by-one she fuses ten of them into one.
As soon as she did, it was formed into something that looks like a long nail.
Jisoo then focused her senses and when she saw a chance, she did not hesitate to throw the 'nail' out of the window.
Using her will, she controlled the trajectory of the needle and punctured the wheel of the first car.
This made the car suddenly tilt to the side and because of the speed, the car suddenly spin. The car behind it was not that fast to react when it accidentally hit the car in the front. The car flips in the air and lands on the second car.
The driver of the 3rd car seems to be an expert as he maneuvers the car to dodge the collision.
He soon catches the car that Arthur is driving.
At this time, Jisoo has already got seated at the back of Arthur's car. She is now holding a metal ballpoint pen that Arthur gave her.
When the car's window suddenly opens a man with a gun could be seen inside.
She did not hesitate to throw the pen toward the car's wheel.
Bang!!!
The wheel exploded at all most an instant like a balloon.
The car then flips over and Arthur's car continues on its way like nothing has happened.
"You live a very interesting life…" Jisoo commented while sitting comfortably at the back.
"Is she treating me as her driver now?" he thought with a frown.
After making a call to fix the incident, the car soon arrives at the Tang's Manor.
…
Inside the large manor, in the room of Bernard Tang, the tired and fatigue Jun Tang and his colleagues are helplessly looking at the result of their checkup.
They and the group Doctor Fu are currently discussing the best plan of treatment. But it has been a day and they have not reached a consensus yet.
No matter what type of treatment they come up with, it would always contradict with the other symptoms of the old man's body.
With his weak physique, they know that he would not survive the treatment process.
So now they are stump on what to do.
"As I told you before… Because of the complications, we cannot follow this plan." Doctor Fu helplessly sighs.
But Jun did not want to give up. He looks at the charts over and over and even grabbed his hair in dejection as he could not arrive at an answer.
"But my father only has a little time to live… I need to find a way to extend his life… If I can have a year, I know that I can find an answer!" he said in agitation.
Suddenly they heard the door opening and Arthur walks inside.
"Arthur! What are you doing here?" Geana Ao his grandmother greeted her grandson with a smile.
"I'm just here to greet you grandmother… Uncle… Doctor Fu…" Arthur greeted the people in the room.
Geana showed a happy smile on her face and then grabbed her grandson's hand.
"Did you have a good time with that… doctor?" she suddenly said with a teasing tone.
She knew that her grandson took her to the ancestral home and the two stayed in that place for 3 days. When she heard that, she was worried at first. But when she heard that they were fine, and the two have a happy interaction, she could not help but feel that her grandson has finally found someone to love at last.
Although she is a bit reluctant to agree with that woman, she is after all beautiful and has the intellect. So after thinking for a while, she decided to just follow what her grandson wants.
Hearing the question of his grandmother, Arthur could not help but shake his head but did not answer.
"How is grandfather?"
When the people in the room heard that, they all turned silent.
From their reaction, he knew that they did not come up with a treatment method yet.
"Doctor Sung is already in another room preparing for her treatment. She told me to hold everyone in this room as it would not be safe for you guys to be there…" he said.
When the people in the room heard those words they all stood up and wanted to run outside.
But Arthur blocked them.
"What is the meaning of this, Arthur! Do you want your grandfather to die? Are you that desperate to get all the money in the family?!" shouted Jun in anger.
Arthur did not say anything and just looks at his uncle like he was a fool.
Get the family money? Is he kidding? He, Arthur Tang, is the one who made the Tang family what they are today. If he separates the money his grandfather has in the company, the company would not even fall.
Plus there is something that he and his grandfather only know and he would not tell them this until his grandfather passed away.
"Please… stay in this room…" he said with a stern voice.
When they heard his words, everyone in the room turned silent.
Even Geana who looks worried dares not disobey her grandson who looks a bit fierce right now.
Meanwhile…
In the other room where the old man is sleeping, a figure suddenly flashes at the window like a ghost.
Then that figure appears right in front of the door.
"Well, that does it… This will be the precaution…" she said with a smile.
Jisoo then opens the door of the room.
Then her eyes changed in color and they turned blue.
"Hello, grandpa…" she greeted casually.
Then she got seated on the chair and then she takes out a pale white jade from her backpack courtesy of Arthur the day before.
There is already a glyph etched on its surface but the glyph is not finished.
Taking out a carver, she carefully etches the last line on the jade stone.
Suddenly, the Reiki energy in the area slowly swirls around the room.
This time, the shadow standing on the side looks at Jisoo and the stone.
"So you can see me…" it said with an eerie voice.
"Yes, of course… why do you think I prepare this ghost array?" Jisoo said with a smile.
Eeeyeahhh!!!
The ghost shrieked as it charges at Jisoo.
Jisoo lifted her hand and a paper talisman glowed and directly attached to the forehead of the ghost.
"First, let's use the life energy you have stolen so that you can materialize…" she muttered.
"Then, let's put this into your body…"
She suddenly punches the chest of the slowly materializing ghost.
As she lets go of the jade stone in its heart, the life energy it has absorbed from the old man lying on the bed began to gather inside the jade stone.
Shriek!!! Shriek!!! Shriek!!!
The ghastly wails of the ghost were so loud that it even woke the whole manor up. The old man who is sleeping on the bed was even startled but was still too weak to open his eyes.
He has already given up on his hope of still being able to live. So he just put his life in fate's hand.
The people in the other room wanted to force their way out but stopped when they heard the wailing of the ghost.
"It would be safer for you guys to stay here… You will not believe anything you will see in the other room anyway…" Arthur said with a smile.
Soon, the life energy was tall taken from the ghost and Jisoo could not see an old man looking like a beggar floating in the air.
"I curse you to die a horrible death!" the ghastly beggar shouted in anger as he glared at Jisoo while floating.
"Oh, that only worked because you have your blood on this…" Jisoo suddenly showed him the dragon jade statue.
Suddenly, Jisoo grabs the statue in her hand and applied force to it.
Crack!!!
When a crack appears on the surface of the jade statue, Jisoo suddenly stopped.
This is because she discovered something weird happening in the statue.
