Chapter 389 Her Great Ambition


    As the night grew deeper, it was the perfect time for some people to get started with their business.


    After the amusement park had closed for the day, Grace managed to sneak into the park to check out


    the haunted house.


    The young girl had a deep frown on her forehead as soon as she finished looking around the ce.


    Again?! There''s nothing in this ce too?!


    Grace''s hands balled into fists.


    I''ve only managed to capture those two resentful spirits previously.


    The Bem Asylum and this haunted house were aplete botch.


    I''ve noticed that I''m different from the other kids from a young age. I could understand things like a


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    normal adult would even when I was still a baby who needed milk and diapers.


    Around the age of three, I had a strange dream. I''ve been tasked with the mission of catching ghosts in


    the realm of the living. Also, I have to collect various types of tears before I reach the age of eighteen.


    For instance, the tear of remorse, the tear of resentment, the tear of sorrow, and many more.


    However, I''ve only managed to collect the tears of remorse and resentment up to this point. Then,


    things started to go awry recently. I couldn''t catch any ghosts at the site where I was supposed to find


    one. Or the ghost didn''t have the tears that I needed even when I did catch them…


    How am I supposed to hit my KPI if the situation continues to go on like this?


    Grace was extremely irked and agitated as she stood inside the quiet and deste haunted house.


    She couldn''t help but kick a nearby prop in her frustration.


    "Gah! I''m so pissed!" Grace would only disy her true emotions when she was certain that there was


    no one around.


    Suddenly, Grace picked up the sound of something moving swiftly in the distance. She spotted a figure


    moving very quickly in the shadows out of the corners of her eyes.


    "Who''s there?!" Grace stared hard at the prop column ced not too far away. She dared not bat her


    eyelids as she focused all of her attention on that corner.


    "Hehe…" She heard a deep voice. "What an interesting young child… Were you born with special


    gifts?"


    Grace felt a chill run down her spine almost instantaneously. She noticed that the voice wasing


    from a different direction, so she swiftly turned around.


    At that very moment, she felt a sharp pain at the center of her chest. It was as if a hot knife was driven


    to her heart.


    Grace let out a gasp due to the immense pain. Sweat beaded her forehead as she clutched at her


    chest.


    The voice wasing from a totally different direction this time. "Very good. You have promising


    talents. You should be my disciple. What do you say?"


    Grace''s expression hardened. She replied icily, "How can I ask someone whom I don''t even know their


    name to be my master? Who are you?"


    The person hiding in the shadowsughed.


    "That''s very smart of you. You''re trying to find out who I am first. Unfortunately, any adult would be able


    to see through your intentions."


    "I''ll give you twelve hours grace. I''m the only person in the world who can undo the spell I''ve cast over


    your heart. Either you willingly agree to be my disciple and help carry out my biddings, or you''ll


    have to die…"


    "I can''t stand the thought of someone as special as you not bing one of my pawns…"


    As the person seemed to have finished what they wanted to say, the voice gradually faded and died


    down.


    Grace panted heavily as she could still feel the burning sensation at the center of her chest.


    "That loathsome man…" Grace muttered through clenched teeth. Eventually, she managed to


    ovee the pain and made her way out of the haunted house.


    I knew something like this was bound to happen one day.


    People always say that the living is much scarier than the dead.


    Near the entrance of the amusement park, a man with a tall figure stood quietly in the shadows as he


    watched Grace walk away in the distance.


    It''s been quite some time since I started heading north from Ashbourne and ended up at this ce. On


    the way, I collected various spirits of the dead and objects to counter curses.


    With the spirits of the dead, I can control them and order them to do my bidding. For instance, if a


    movie star wishes to boost her poprity, I can send her one of my spirits to help increase her luck and


    charm. Simrly, if someone wishes to secretly get rid of their enemy without leaving any trace, I have


    spirits that can do those tasks for them. However, I charge them a lot more for those requests…


    While I had been getting more and more requests and new clients, I had also realized that I was


    severely shorthanded.


    Previously, I came across a man with exceptional abilities to create paper figures at an abandoned


    temple. I managed to get him to be my disciple, and I gave him a ghost bride as a gift.


    The man had be an important subordinate of mine as he had been helping me grow my wealth by


    I checked the haunted house for signs of a battle but was to no avail. Then, I chanced upon that little


    girl.


    "I''ve picked up traces of someone who''s very good at catching ghosts and spiritstely… Who could it


    be…" The man knitted his brows. He could tell that the person wasn''t Grace.


    That person had made sure to clean up after them every time. I haven''t been able to find any


    surveince footage of them or any actual signs of them at each of those sites.


    A child couldn''t possibly have nned or executed meticulous ns like these. This girl is not the


    person that I''m looking for.


    "I''ll find you, sooner orter…"


    I must have those who are strong and powerful on my side to do my bidding. Otherwise, they are


    bound to be my enemy…


    For those who refuse to take my side, I must eliminate them before they get any stronger…


    Soon afterward, the man returned to a huge, luxurious mansion.


    One of his disciples immediately came up to the man to help him take off his coat. "Master, ady has


    been putting in a request for a talisman for quite some time. She works as a manager for a clothing


    brand, and she''s going to bring some clothes to a prominent, wealthy family tomorrow. She would like


    to get a love talisman."


    "She wishes to get the man to fall hopelessly in love with her, and she''s willing to pay 500 thousand


    dors for the talisman…"


    After a moment''s consideration, the man finally said tly, "Fine. Give her one."


    The man''s disciple took the love talisman from his master and excused himself. Then, he went to the


    lounge where a beautifuldy had been waiting on her knees for almost the entire day.


    "You''re lucky. My master just came back. Here''s the love talisman. Stick it to your target''s body, and the


    talisman will selfbust and take effect."


    Thedy thanked him respectfully. "Is there anything else I should take note of?"


    Thedy noticed that the man was looking at her gold bracelet. After a brief pause, she took the


    bracelet off and shoved it into the man''s hands. "Mister, here''s a token of my appreciation…"
