Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Halfway to Success_1
Alexander Summers frowned upon hearing this, “Start with the bad news.”
“Before, we tried to gather yin energy, so we set up this Five Yin Formation. Now it has become an extreme yin area, which turns it into a cursed land. Ms. Summers’ sensitive constitution is the reason she feels so poorly, and as time goes on, both you and your wife will also be plagued by chronic illnesses,” Hunter Dalton explained, “We’ve researched a bit, and there seems to have been a death here, which intensified the yin energy.”
There had indeed been deaths nearby; the man who climbed Purple Summers’ window fell to his death right below, and the male servant who stole a baby during the spring banquet drowned in the lake.
If they had died elsewhere, death would just be death, but this place had a yin-gathering formation, specifically attracting yin energy, and the heavier the yin energy, the higher the chance of the living encountering accidents—a vicious cycle, so to speak.
Alexander wasn’t concerned about all of this and asked with a furrowed brow, “How can we help her recover?”
Hunter Dalton said, “Ms. Summers feels uncomfortable because she is starting to feel unwell in the extreme yin environment, which means that her soul has mostly recovered. This, Master Xander, is actually good news.”
If she were still a ghost, living in an environment filled with oppressive yin energy would only make her feel comfortable.
Alexander’s expression eased slightly, and a faint smile even appeared in his eyes.
“Do you mean that in the future, she will be like a normal person? Her soul won’t leave her body anymore?” Alexander asked.
“As long as there are no further complications, she will definitely succeed within two years at most.”
In fact, Hunter Dalton thought one year would be enough, but in front of Alexander, he didn’t dare to make such a definite promise.
The ancestral methods were finally effective, and Hunter Dalton’s face showed a warm smile, feeling quite pleased.
Next, the mage conducted a ritual here, and then Alexander sent people to cut down trees.
“Cut down two trees at first; after half a year, cut another two. We should proceed gradually,” Hunter Dalton instructed.
Alexander busied himself in the garden with people, cutting trees and performing rituals, causing quite a commotion, which disturbed Dylan Summers in the study.
“What are they up to now?” Dylan opened the window to look towards the noise, his face filled with irritation.
The sound of the chainsaw was intermittent, disrupting his peace, so he left the study to ask the servant.
The servant replied, “The fourth young master said that someone died in the lake last time, so a ritual is being performed for safety.”
Dylan didn’t show it on his face, but inside he cursed: That was ages ago, and only now do they think to perform a ritual?! That’s closing the barn door after the horse has bolted! Simply finding trouble out of boredom!
After cursing Alexander, he thought of Nathaniel, one fiddling at home, the other not attending to proper matters, running off to travel.
Dylan couldn’t help but feel anxious about these thoughts.
The company’s matters could be left to the senior management, but a person couldn’t just vanish without a trace. Nathaniel had still been in touch during the first week, but there had been no word from him for two or three months since then.
If he had died out there, the family probably wouldn’t even know!
Unlike Alexander, Dylan cared greatly for his younger brother.
At that moment, Yolanda Summers came to the study to find Dylan.
“Dad…” Yolanda hesitated to speak.
Before Yolanda could say anything more, Dylan immediately interrupted her with irritation, “Do you need money again? Your third uncle has been gone for months, where am I supposed to get money for you? Yolanda, you’re grown up now; don’t always compete with others, it’s not good for a girl to be too vain!”
Yolanda’s face stiffened, looking a bit ugly.
Dylan sighed, recalling he had already lost a daughter, and now Yolanda was the only one who was somewhat promising. His tone softened as he offered advice once more, “You study hard, and when you graduate, you can join the Summers Group and help your third uncle. It’s better than anything else.”
After saying that, as if annoyed by the disturbance at home, he shook his head and walked away.
Yolanda watched her father’s retreating figure, biting her lip, her chest full of words forced back down into her stomach.
Today… she hadn’t come to ask for money.
