Chapter 2427
“Young Master York! What in the blazes was that?!”
Fabian drew in a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm.
Everything that had happened moments ago was beyond his understanding, but he was still this
generation’s King of Gambling. Thus, he couldn’ t afford to lose his composure and fly into panic. He had
to remain calm in the face of any crisis.
Harvey had no intention to hide anything and explained, “You’ve lived in the southeast waters for a long
time, so you must have heard of Nanyang sorcery.”
“This should be heavily related to the Three Demon Monks from Thailand.”
“What you just saw is the most sinister form of
Nanyang sorcery, which is raising a ghost.”
“I assume it was by the Three Demon Monks, for them to use it to kill you and your family.”
“However, their plan went astray. They’re doomed to fail after making a move today, so this ghost is
useless.”
“Raising a ghost makes use of sorcery that requires them to detain the soul of a young child who has just
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdied, and then raise it by his side.”
“This ghost needs to take a lot of blood to survive.”
“The disappearance of your servants in Hamilton Residence should be connected with this ghost.”
Fabian was momentarily stunned, too shocked to speak. Then, he shouted in disbelief, “Man devouring
devil? How is this possible?!”
Zummo’s eyes also twitched at this. He found Harvey’s words much too far-fetched.
Yet, after what he had seen… There was no choice but to believe Harvey.
Harvey studied their shocked expressions before continuing, “Gentlemen. I don’t know much about Feng
Shui, but frankly speaking, raising a ghost is an act of homicide.”
“When it comes to homicide, I’m an expert, and I know how to get rid of it.”
Harvey was stoic and composed. What killer hadn ‘t he seen in his time on the Euro-American
battlefield?

The Island Nation ninjas, onmyojis, the warriors of America, Knights Templar of the Empire of the Sun
that Never Sets, Nordic Valkyrie, and so
on…

He had killed thousands of evil Nanyang monks on the battlefield. This ghost was nothing to him.
“You know how to solve this?” Fabian asked in an anxious whisper. “How will you deal with this ghost,
Young Master York?”
“It’s hard to say since it depends on the situation. But I’ll have to remind you first. If I really do it, your
ancestral hall will probably be destroyed,” Harvey said softly.
“Destroying the ancestral hall?” Fabian was slightly taken aback. For him, the ancestral hall was a
spiritual sustenance. If it was destroyed, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to his ancestors
after his death.
“Young Master York, can’t you think of a way to at least avoid spoiling those plaques? Otherwise …”
Fabian didn’t continue, but Harvey understood what he meant.

“I’ll try,” Harvey replied indifferently, “But the ancestral hall is most likely to be destroyed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlso, there will be a little risk in the process of moving these plaques.”
“Risk?” Fabian asked curiously. “What risk? Lives, you mean?”
Harvey shook his head. “No, your fortune.”
“The ancestral hall is the spiritual sustenance of a family, and it is also where the fortune lies.”
“Once the plaques are moved, the fortune your family has accumulated for many years will likely
dissipate.”
“Hence, I suggest rebuilding an ancestral hall on the same spot after I finish dealing with everything. If
you do that, it won’t affect your fortune that much.”
Harvey was indifferent, but Fabian’s face
instantly became solemn after hearing the word “fortune”.
The Hamiltons started out by gambling, and he believed in an ancient saying, “First is destiny, second is
luck and fortune, third is Feng Shui.” Thus, he always believed that these three things were of utmost
importance.
The saying about fortune was a convoluted argument, but he dared not say that this was fake.
