Chapter 257 The Evil Aura

The Jones family was also one of the prominent families in Nebula City.

Ever since their house was haunted, they have gotten many different exorcists to deal with it but to no avail.

At nightfall, an evil aura would descend above their house and a burst of agonizing laughter could be heard ever so often.

Many self-proclaimed expert exorcists fled when they heard the tragic wails.

When they arrived at the Jones family villa, Stefan and the others were already waiting at the entrance.

The rest of the Jones family had heard that a Master Geomancer was coming, so they were curious to see who he was.

However, when a twenty-something-year-old man alighted from the car, everyone felt rather disappointed.

But, when they thought that it was Stefan who hired him, their doubts were laid to rest.

Although, they didn’t believe in Alex, they trusted Stefan.

“Mr. Jefferson.” Stefan opened the door for Alex.

After Alex got down, he opened the boot and passed everything he had bought to Autumn. “Please put them somewhere for me.”

Autumn nodded and brought the items into the house.

It was only 6.30 p.m. and it would be a while before the sky got dark.

However, Alex could see that the whole villa seemed to have a large evil cloud hanging over it which gave off an opaque yet suffocating feeling.

Of course, the Jones family didn’t notice it as they did not have the Mind’s Eye.

Unless the demons allowed themselves to be seen, ordinary people would not be able to see them.

Awakening the Mind’s Eye was also one of the magical skills in geomancy.

That was the reason why only a Master Geomancer can see demons as they would have to awaken the Mind’s Eye in order to become one.

As Alex walked around the villa, Stefan and the Jones family followed behind him.

“There’s nothing wrong with your villa’s spiritual condition. In fact, it sits in a very auspicious location. Your problem stems from the demon within the ancient jade pendant.” After going around the villa, Alex didn’t find anything else that was strange.

Stefan and the others nodded as if they understood what he said. Nevertheless, they simply agreed with Alex’s words.

They had built their house and even engaged a geomancer to purify the location before the construction started. Therefore, they never faced any problems all these years and their business had never been better, Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Where’s that piece of ancient jade?” Alex asked Desmond.

“I-I buried it,” Desmond replied meekly.

“Mr. Jefferson, do we still need it?” Stefan asked carefully.

“Mmm.”

Alex nodded and replied, “The demon is no longer confined to the piece of ancient jade, hence burying it is useless. However, its roots are contained in the jade. In order to perform an exorcism, we must use the jade still. Where did you bury it? We have to dig it out.”

“Where is it buried?” Samuel Jones asked..

Samuel was Desmond father and also Stefan’s brother.

“Behind the hill,” Desmond replied.

“Go dig it out then,” Samuel ordered.

Earlier, he found out from Stefan that all the recent family calamities were caused by his son. He was so infuriated that he slapped Desmond a few times.

“Alright, I’ll go at once,” Desmond quickly replied as he was afraid of his dad’s bad temper.

“Bring a few men with you,” Samuel reminded him.

“Mmm,” Desmond grunted in acknowledgement. After that, he proceeded to the hill behind the villa with a few bodyguards.

The reason he buried it at the hill was that he was worried Alex was lying to him. The hill behind their house was a safe place as no one would go there.
