Chapter 582


    Indeed, Joe had been in a meeting. Half an hour through the meeting, he saw that Skr had


    called and texted him. He nced at the time and called her back


    His call went through after a few seconds.


    Joe asked, “I was in a meeting just now. Are you already heading there?”

    As he spoke, she also heard the click of his lighter. Skr said, “Yeah, we’ve set off already.


    We’re on the highway now.”


    Joe flicked his lighter open. However, he didn’t light a cigarette. He merely looked down, a


    cold glint flickering in his eyes. He said, “When you get there, do te


    “Alright.”


    me.”


    “Be careful,” Joe added.


    Skr’s eyshes fluttered as she responded, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself.”


    worry. I’ll take care of myself.”


    The second she hung up, Skr felt as though there was a hole in her heart. It was


    ufortable.


    Alexander asked with a smile, “Was that Joe calling you?”


    Skr halted her train of thought. She replied, “Yeah. I was telling him that I wouldn’t be


    going home tonight. I was scared he’d be worried.”


    Alexander nodded cheerily. He said, “Joe is a good kid. He’s pitiable as well. Only his


    Grandma truly pampered him growing up. Men tend to be hard–headed. Although Joe seems


    uncaring, he does value a select few. I can tell that he cares for you.”


    Skr added, “He’s good.”


    At this age, Alexander was extremely perceptive. He could tell what they were going through


    at a nce. However, he did not point it out. They would only trulyprehend it once they


    went through it themselves.


    It did not matter how much advice their elders gave. They would probably not be able to


    understand it


    anyway.


    They were a good pair. He would let them pave their own way, and then they would learn


    their lessons. A few hourster, they arrived in Liberty County. Although they were in a rural


    area, Harry lived in a mansion. It was like a mini estate, and it was the only one of its kind in


    the vige.


    There weren’t many people in the county. It made the estate seem even quieter.


    It was a great ce to retire. One could enjoy peace and focus on spiritual development


    here.


    Many people chose to build mansions here after consulting divination masters.


    Before stepping onto his estate, Skr felt he’d chosen a good location to build his mansion.


    One rxed easily there.


    However, the second she stepped into the estate, Skr felt her heart sink to the bottom of


    her stomach. A chill prickled over her skin.


    Harry was a nice man.


    On the way there, Alexander had told her about Harry’s background. He had five sons and


    two daughters.

    His three sons had fallen sick one after another in the past two years and were extremely


    weak. His other two sons were fine as they were overseas.


    His two daughters had recently endured a string of terrifying ordeals. One moment, they


    were victims of a car ident; the next, they were nearly drowning after suffering severe


    cramps while swimming. It seemed danger was a constant, unwee guest in their lives.


    Harry had been affected too. His body health had been deteriorating in the past few years. He


    needed a wheelchair to get around. If not, he would be panting desperately after a few steps.


    Under such circumstances, Harry found himself in a weird situation. He’d asked divination


    masters to help him investigate.


    They’d looked at his mansion and ancestral graves. There was nothing wrong with them, and


    multiple divination masters had agreed.


    Harry could only dispel his supposition that this was the result of ck magic. He thought of


    it as a coincidence.


    Alexander hadn’t told Harry about who wasing. He was terrified that Harry would be


    disappointed by the oue.
