“If you really dig up any dirt, I’ll eat it!” Master Soidho dered confidently, having faith in himself.
“ying this big?” L shook his head speechlessly.
The excavator came over and started working where L pointed.
L stood by quietly watching.
Sam was a bit nervous, staring without blinking.
Darwin and Master Soidho were both unimpressed, standing with their arms crossed and sneering on the side.
After a short while, they had already dug down four or five meters deep. However, apart from some rubble, they hadn’t seen anything else yet.
“I’mughing so hard! Where is the thing you mentioned? You didn’t even bother to ask around about my reputation in the geomancy world before daring to question me?”
“Kid,pensate me. I won’t ask for much. Just give me 100, 000 dors!”
Master Soidho said proudly upon seeing this situation.
“Mr. Willis if you can’te up with the money then apologize to Master Soidho. Let’s talk it out and forget about this matter! But don’t go back asking Ms. Lowe for money. That wouldn’t be good.” Darwin taunted him.
“Mr. Mughlin are we still digging?”
At that moment one of his workers stuck his head out of the excavator and asked him.
“Keep digging!” L said calmly ignoring Master Soidho and Darwin.
Sam also added, “Dig as per what Mr. Willis says.”
Darwin impatiently waved his hand, “Fine then! Dig away! Mr. Reid has spoken!”
The next second, he looked at L very displeased muttering under his breath, “What kind of nonsense is this? If it wasn’t for Mr. Reid’s face, I wouldn’t even bother with you. You’re really asking for trouble!”
Master Soidho also snorted coldly, “I want to see what can be dug up!”
Suddenly there was a loud thud as though something had been hit by the excavator!
“It seems like we’ve actually found something!” eximed the operator of the excavator in surprise.
Upon hearing this news, Darwin’s expression froze momentarily before he turned towards several workers beside him ordering them, “You guys go down there and take a look!”
“There doesn’t seem to be any negative energy here. Perhaps it’s just some ordinary metal object,” remarked Master Soidho skeptically.
A few minutester, several workers emerged from below, carrying a box in their hands which made everyone curious about its contents.
After they opened the box, a butcher’s knife was revealed, emitting an ominous aura that seemed to hit them in the face.
“This… this…” Master Soidho’s face changed dramatically upon seeing the knife.
“Master, what is this?” Darwin was also taken aback.
“This is a geomancy killing formation set up by someone. This evil object buried underground will definitely cause frequent idents here in the future! It wouldn’t be surprising if it causes fatalities!” Master Soidho said with a serious expression.
“What should we do? How do we break it?” Darwin asked nervously.
“It’s fortunate that this young apprentice discovered it! Expose this knife to sunlight for seven days and its malevolent energy will dissipate!” Master Soidho said as he looked towards L with an expression of surprise and suspicion.
Despite his youth, L had surpassed him in “Energy observation”. The knife was stored in a willow wood box which concealed its malevolent energy. Even he hadn’t noticed it but this young man had seen through it all.
“Why expose it? Don’t you want to eat it?” L asked with a smile on his face.
“I… I…” Master Soidho suddenly turned red-faced and couldn’t say anything else due to being choked up by L’s words. He greeted Darwin before leaving dejectedly without daring to ask for any money for his services anymore.
“Now do you believe what Mr. Willis said earlier, Mr. Mughlin?” Sam asked while smiling at Darwin.
Darwin felt somewhat embarrassed and reluctantly thanked L, “Thanks.”
Seeing how reluctant he was when thanking him made L purse his lips and ask, “How are you going to thank me?”
He didn’t mind helping people but disliked those who didn’t know how to show gratitude after being helped by others. Therefore he wasn’t going easy on Darwin!
Upon hearing these words, Darwin hesitated before asking sarcastically, “What do you want me to give you? Money?”
His tone carried some mockery!
To everyone’s surprise though, L nodded without hesitation, “Sure! Give me 1. 8 million dors!”
Hearing these words made Darwin widen his eyes as he looked at an angry-looking L while Sam froze momentarily not expecting that L would actually demand money from him!
“You really dare open your mouth huh? And 1. 8 million dors too?! Are you crazy or something? Doesn’t Ms. Lowe give you pocket money normally?” Darin sneered coldly while ridiculing him.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
“How much do you have to pay for the deaths on this construction site? Plus, there’s the investigation and negative impact it caused. The Mughlin’s Construction must have lost more than just 1. 8 million dors, right? I helped you solve this disaster, is 1. 8 million too much? Of course, if you can’t afford it then forget it. Can’t even afford to pay for someone else to solve your problems, what a poor guy…”
L shook his head disdainfully.
Hearing this, Darwin almost passed out from anger.
“What did you say? I’m a poor guy? You’re the one living off of others and calling me poor? Damn! It’s just 1. 8 million dors. Here!”
Darwin was so angry that his face turned red. He felt insulted by L’s words.
On one hand he was provoked but on the other hand he knew that L was telling the truth.
If it weren’t for him discovering this geomancy killing formation and someone dying on their construction site resulting in Mughlin’s Construction being held ountable by relevant departments, it would be disastrous.
Speaking of which, Darwin should give him these 1. 8 million dors anyway.
Otherwise Darwin wouldn’t be stupid enough to act impulsively even if he were angry about being insulted like that.
After receiving 1. 8 million dors, L smiled smugly.
Thinking about that Graham family auction made him realize how poor he really was, and now he had seized an opportunity to make some money.
Anyway, Darwin wasn’t really close with him so L didn’t feel obliged to be polite.
“You’re such a loser! You’re happy with only 1. 8 million! Let me tell you something: my monthly allowance is worth more than this!”
Darwin clearly felt very unhappy and sneered through gritted teeth.
Sam shook his head beside them; he could see that L was doing all of this intentionally. But then again, L had helped Darwin out, yet Darwin still acted like an ungrateful jerk. So if anyone deserved having to pay 1 million, it would be him!
Just then, L looked at Darwin and raised an eyebrow before speaking again, “I’ll give you another reminder since you haven’t cheated me yet. Your right eye has dimmed, this is a sign of double star falling which means your mother will have trouble. Give me 10 million, I’ll help your mother get through her difficulties.”
Hearing these words, Darwin first froze before turning pale with anger. “Go f*** yourself! Your mother will have trouble, your whole family will suffer! You’ve gone crazy trying to scam people for money, right?”
“Get lost!” Darwin cursed loudly.
“30 million! Just for a few insults from you, if youe looking for me again, I’ll demand 30 million!” L furrowed his brow and spoke icily.
“Go ahead and roll out of here! Am I crazy enough toe looking for you?”
