Chapter 839 The usation


    ?


    "Yes, Chloe!"


    Daniel quickly pulled a charred stick from the torch and started thrashing it at the water where Jax was struggling.


    "Ah! Ahhh!"


    "Daniel, why are you hitting me? That hurts, you freak!" Jax yelled from the water.


    “I''m not hitting you; I''m hitting the ghost that''s holding onto you," Daniel exined. He continued thrashing the stick. With each strike, the dark smoke wrapped around Jax dissipated a little more.


    After 81 strikes, all the ck smoke had vanished.


    The ghost holding Jax down was finally driven away.


    The sensation of something holding his foot vanished, and Jax felt free again. He scrambled onto the shore, his body soaked.


    Jax, drenched and shaken, was visibly scared despite having escaped.


    Daniel approached,ughing lightly, "Jax, how do you feel? Not so pleasant being dragged underwater by a ghost, huh? Do my words make more sense now?"


    "Ghost? What ghost? I didn''t see any ghost! Daniel, your nonsense is just that - nonsense! There are no such things as ghosts!" Jax refused to admit any belief in ghosts. He wouldn''t believe in their existence, no way, no how.


    "What ghost? That''s just BS!"


    "Jax, you were just attacked by a ghost, dragged underwater, and yet you''re still so stubborn? If it wasn''t a ghost pulling you down, what was it? Look Ou, soaked and scared.


    Wasn''t it the ghost?"


    "What ghost? There was no ghost!" Jax remained defiant.


    "No ghost? Then how did you end up in the water?" Daniel asked.


    "How did I end up in the water? I... I..."


    Jax hesitated, his mind racing for a usible excuse.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "I... I slipped! The ground here is wet, and it''s slippery! That''s why I fell in."


    "Even if you slipped into the water, then what?" Daniel pressed.


    "Then what?" Jax echoed.


    "Jax, you can swim. Normally, you could just swim back to shore. But you struggled for so long and even called for help. If I recall, you yelled for help."


    "I got a cramp, alright? Yeah, that''s it! I got a cramp in my leg, that''s why I couldn''t swim back right away. And you, Daniel, instead of helping, you hit me with a stick! You nearly killed me! Luckily, my cramp ease up, and I managed to swim back."


    Jax then turned to Daniel angrily, "Daniel, what was the idea of hitting me with that stick? What were you up to? Were you trying to kill me? Is that it? Dispose of me in thepool and cover it up?"
