Graham\u2019s face was ashen, and he trembled slightly, clearly gripped by fear.<\/p>\n

Charlie furrowed his brow and softly inquired, \u201cDid the jade plug crack?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Wade, you truly are remarkable! I can\u2019t believe you guessed it correctly,\u201d Graham replied in a hushed tone. \u201cAt first, we followed your instructions to the letter. We sealed the jade plug in a yellow bag and, for seven days, our entire family adhered to a vegetarian diet without any contact with blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, one day, my foolish nephew Adam secretly indulged in some stewed pigeon soup. To make matters worse, he accidentally spilled pigeon blood on the yellow paper bag that contained the jade plug. The moment that blood touched the bag, the jade plug cracked. I\u2019ve already punished Adam and kept him locked up at home, yet strange occurrences persist!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s expression turned serious as he asked, \u201cWhat kind of strange occurrences have you experienced?\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham quickly responded, \u201cLast night, a fierce thunderstorm hit. Out of the blue, lightning struck and incinerated the century-old osmanthus tree in our Quinton family courtyard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, the ancestral tablet of the Quinton family, which we keep in our ancestral hall, inexplicably fell and shattered in half. This is an ominous sign!\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon hearing Graham\u2019s words, Charlie felt a wave of concern. In Chinese Feng Shui, an osmanthus tree is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The fact that it was struck by lightning indicated impending misfortune for the Quinton family. Additionally, a broken ancestor tablet signified that a family member was likely to die.<\/p>\n

Charlie was taken aback by the malevolence contained within the jade plug, as well as its strength, which had been unleashed by just a drop of pigeon blood.<\/p>\n

As Graham awaited a response from Charlie, his heart raced with anxiety. He continued to plead, \u201cEven though the Quinton family has been in business for generations, I\u2019ve always treated others with kindness. I\u2019ve never harmed nature or anyone. Mr. Wade, please help save my family!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie finally replied, \u201cMr. Quinton, I genuinely wish to help you, but it seems the spirit in the jade plug is incredibly powerful. Since Adam has carried it for so many years, it appears to have formed a bond with the Quinton family. A simple talisman won\u2019t suffice to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should I do now? The Quinton family is facing immense misfortune. This is tragic for all of us!\u201d Graham lamented, his voice quaking.<\/p>\n

Charlie responded, \u201cThe evil spirit grows stronger with blood. Now that it has come into contact with pigeon blood, I fear the only way to subdue it is by invoking the power of the heavens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright then, Mr. Wade. I will do whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing my entire fortune,\u201d Graham assured him.<\/p>\n

Charlie added, \u201cAs it happens, I will be attending an auction at the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow. I\u2019ll look for any spiritual relics that might aid your family. Whether we can win the bid will depend on your luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for your help, Mr. Wade. I apologize for the trouble I\u2019ve caused you,\u201d Graham said, expressing his gratitude.<\/p>\n

He quickly added, \u201cI\u2019ll bring my black card tomorrow. You can use it to purchase whatever you need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie scoffed; since he was assisting the Quinton family, he felt he shouldn\u2019t have to spend his own money.<\/p>\n

He replied, \u201cMr. Quinton, be prepared. Acquiring spiritual relics is not an easy task, and sometimes we might not be able to purchase them even if they\u2019re available. Your luck will play a significant role in whether we can secure the items at the auction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham nodded, \u201cYes, I will also search for spiritual relics on my own. But I truly appreciate your assistance, Mr. Wade.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the incident at Antique Street, Graham had sought help from many renowned spiritual masters to rid the evil spirit, but they would glance at the Quinton family mansion and quickly turn away, too intimidated to enter.<\/p>\n

Thus, Charlie was Graham\u2019s last hope.<\/p>\n

In truth, Charlie was puzzled by the situation. Graham should have been living a peaceful and happy life, as he had never harmed anyone.<\/p>\n

Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, his nephew Adam had turned his family\u2019s life upside down. If Charlie hadn\u2019t intervened previously, the entire Quinton family would have faced destruction within a year.<\/p>\n

Moreover, not only would Graham and Adam have been lost, but the beautiful and alluring Aurora would have perished as well!<\/p>\n
