She strolled around the collection room, and her attention was eventually drawn to a casually positioned antien, book.

A warmth radiated from the jade buckle hanging around her neck as her eyes lingered on the ancient Took. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

She strolled over as her curiosity piqued, and she delicately picked up the ancient book to flip through its pages.

The jade buckle adorning her neck reacted even more intensely.

Simone scrutinized the ancient book carefully, initially noting nothing out of the ordinary.

However, as she flipped through the pages quickly, she stumbled upon a hidden secret.

As she swiftly termed the pages, the slanted arrangement of the pages seemed to come together to form a swiftormed picture.

The image in the book appeared strikingly familiar, matching the style and structure of the one concealed within the jade buckle.

It appeared to be a puzzle,

Hence, it made seuse why her master’s ancestors couldn’t decipher the mystery of the jade buckle, preventing them from pinpointing the location on the map.

It transpired that the map was incomplete, and an additional copy was concealed within the ancient book. pages of the

Simone gazed at Mr. Nielsen and remarked, “Mr. Nielsen, I’m quite fond of this ancient book. Would it be possible to consider it as part of the compensation?”

Mr. Nielsen was taken aback by Simone’s unexpected request. This book is only worth a few tens of thousands of dollars, and I acquired it more for enjoyment than its monetary value,” he explained.

“Moreover, when the geomancy master came to the collection room, he examined other items aside from the ancient tripod,” Mr. Nielsen added.

“Not only did he not show any interest in this ancient book, but he also didn’t even bother to pick it up.” Mr. Nielsen mentioned.

He remind, Master Gray, this ancient book is not particularly valuable.”

Simone rinned, “My preferences aren’t for sale, regardless of the price tag.”

“My has a fondness for collecting ancient books, so if I come across one that captivates me, I feel comped to add it to my collection.”

This one is exceptional.”

Seg her determination to use it as compensation, Mr. Nielsen ceased to persuade her, “Alright, you can take it. And afterward, please spare some time to accompany me on a visit to my family’s ancestral grave in my hometown.”

Compared to the previous master, he had more faith in Simonc.

And he wasn’t particularly attached to this ancient book either.

Regardless of whether the issue with the ancestral grave can be resolved, he is prepared to give it to

none as a token of gratitude for sharing the secret of the inherited ancient tripod..

Sat expressed, “I have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can decide which day.”

Mr. Nielsen promptly proposed, “Then, let’s leave early tomorrow morning. It’s a four-hour drive from here to my ancestral grave.”

Faced with the series of problems his family has been enduring, he is understandably anxious.

Simone aged with a nod, “Okay!” The next morning.

Simone hoppe to Derrick’s car, where his assistant took the wheel. Accompanied by Romulus Crayson, who remaine… cadf presence by Simone’s side, they embarked on the journey to Derrick’s hometown.

Upon reaching their destination, the quartet indulged in a leisurely lunch before making their way up the mountain with the requisite tools in tow.

The entire expanse of the mountain had been acquired by the Nielsen Family, serving as the resting place for countless generations of Nielsen ancestors. As Simone attuned her senses, she detected an anomaly surrounding a specific grave.

She gestured. That one seems to have an issue; it should be your grandfather’s grave, affecting your entire family directly. Let’s take a closer look.

Mr. Nielsen, astonished, responded, “Indeed, that’s my grandfather’s resting place.” His amazement at Simone’s capabilities grew.

Without disclosing details and with the tombstone facing away, making it impossible to discern the name, Simone confidently asserted the issue.

Excitement surged in Mr. Nielsen as he considered the possibility of resolving the familial grave predicament with Simone’s exceptional skills.

Approaching the grave, Simone retrieved a compass.

The trio obved the needle wildly spinning, seemingly malfunctioning, indicating significant problem.

Simone marked, “The magnetic field around this grave is entirely chaotic, explaining the severity of your family’s situation. If we delay any longer, someone in your family might face an unfortunate departe

Mr. Nican’s expression shifted, “So, Master Gray, how should we deal with this?”

Simone utilized a compass to identify the most disrupted magnetic field and restured, “Climb and dig down about a meter or so.”

Without waiting for Mr. Nielsen to respond, the assistant ascended the grave with a hoe begant digging.

After a short while, the asscant exclaimed, “Ah, there’s something pitch black here.”

Simone leaped onto the grave, donned her gloves, and retrieved the object.

Nielsen and the others observed a small black wooden coffin adorned with seven equally black nails. simene took out a talisman from her bag, affixed it to the coffin, and recited an incantation.

Suddenly, the talisman ignited, and the nails on the coffin mysteriously loosened.

Simone proceeded to open the small wooden coffin.

The trio wit essed a puppet inside, with a slightly discolored yellow talisman paper affixed top.

Mr. Nicher countenance shifted once more as his gaze fell upon his grandfather’s name and birthdate inscribed on the salisman paper.

In that fleetin mer, realization dawned upon him, “Could someone be deliberately targeting our family?” Simone, alrely ahead in her deductions, affirmed, ‘Yes, it’s clearly aimed at your family.

“More precisely, it’s targeting something within your family.”

She scrutinized the puppet and the talisman paper, detecting a similar energy emanating from both.

The resonance mirrored the energy encountered during their confrontation at the hospital.

It hinted that the puppeteer behind this sinister plot was in league with Jodic Gra

Most likely, the true orchestrator was that cunning old mastermind.

Little did she foresee that her intervention in securing a role for the star inadvertently disrupted the adversary’s grand design.

Inadvertently, she also stumbled upon another set of enigmatic alphabet symbols.

Should she express gratitude towards the person responsible? However, at this point, they probably despised her.

As expected.

Somewhere thin Cebros, at Salma Johnston’s villa, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged abruptly opened his

He clute ed his chest, his face paling from the backlash, with a tinge of dark blue appearing on his brows.

His exon transformed even further upon realizing that someone had shattered his spell.

This mov had been of utmost importance, instructed by his master, and it had been broken so easily. It made him feel like he was about to spit blood.

He was even more fearful of the consequences once his master discovered wi had happened.

Thus, in his mind, he couldn’t help but curse the individual who had broken the spell.
