Chapter 36: Is it a Scamr? (Extra chapter sponsored by Laverne L)
Translator: 549690339
Alexander Sumrs, having changed into a new set of clothes, ets the person at a coffee shop.
The man is in his forties, dressed in business attire, looking like an ordinary businessman quite unlike Mr. Ghost Hayes who dresses like soone from an earlier era.
After seeing Alexander, he proactively hands over his business card, being extrely respectful, clearly he had been tipped off by Boss Jason.
Alexander didn’t take the business card.
Zack Wallace picks it up instead and carefully places it on the coffee table in front of Alexander, only after he has settled down.
“…Equinox Geomancy and Nurology Company…” Alexander squints his brows, reading the words on the card.
The middle-aged man smiles warmly, “An ancestral business, my generation just reaps the benefits, it’s nothing worth ntioning in front of you.” Alexander asks him, “Do you know Mr. Ghost Hayes?”
The man nods, “Mr. Hayes is a veteran in our line of work.”
Mr. Ghost Hayes doesn’t have a proper na, known for his abilities, people call him Sorcerer Hayes. However, this man, as skilled as he is in the mystic arts, is quite unscrupulous and erratic, and thus, he has also earned the nickna, Mr. Ghost Hayes.
Alexander contemplates for a mont, then says to him, “I bought a soul artifact from Mr. Ghost Hayes, but the soul, is now in soone else’s body.”
The man pauses, looking surprised, “A soul artifact is difficult to co by, even more so to possess one, Mr. Hayes is indeed formidable, to be able to create a soul artifact.”
Zack Wallace coughs, dissatisfied, and reminds him, “We didn’t call you here to praise him, figure out a way to solve this problem!”
“This…” The middle-aged man smiles bitterly, “Soul artifacts are primarily used for nourishing soul or reviving soul, if the soul is now misplaced, to reposition it… unless Mr. Hayes himself steps in, I’m afraid no one else can accomplish this.”
Alexander remains silent.
Zack Wallace becos frustrated, “If we could find him, what’s the point of seeking your help!” The person they had so much trouble finding is of no help!
“I do know a few thods for nourishing souls, they can be tried, although they can’t move the souls back into the artifact, they can at least preserve the souls for a while…”
Alexander stays silent for a while, his lips parting slightly, voice laced with a cold sharpness, “Speak.”
Approximately an hour later, the middle-aged man leaves.
Zack Wallace can’t hold back anymore, he picks up the business card the man left behind, studying it carefully.
The front of the card contains the man’s na, contact information, and the company na, while the back lists the services offered by the company.
“Ho geomancy, Ziwei nurology, physiognomy, bazi marriage compatibility… holy crap! Even Tarot divination?” As Zack Wallace reads on, he grows increasingly insecure, “Boss, we didn’t get conned, did we?”
Although Mr. Ghost Hayes is unreliable, his mystic arts are indeed profound. But this one… looks like he has nothing to do with mystic arts at all!
After talk about thods of nourishing souls for so long, no idea if it’s reliable, Zack Wallace only knows that he talked Alexander into spending 3,000 dollars on two unremarkable phone lanyards, claiming they were fortune wheel charms that have been blessed.
My god, 1,500-dollar phone lanyards, and he even had the audacity to say it was a discounted price.
Zack Wallace is ntally wincing on Alexander’s behalf. Alexander gives him a look, “You found this person.”
Zack Wallace jumps with fright, hastily disclaiming, “Boss, he was introduced by Boss Jason!”
Boss Jason wouldn’t introduce a fraud to Alexander.
If anyone tricked Alexander, no one could bear the consequences.
Alexander gently rubs the charm on the phone lanyard, speaking in a low and slow voice, “Whether he’s a fraud or not, we can’t conclude yet, but… he’s indeed a businessman.”
And a good businessman has one trait in common, that is credibility.
Alexander hopes he is a good businessman, because that’s the only way to sustain a long-term business…
He looks down at the fortune wheel charm in his hand, thinking, from today on, he needs to start nourishing the soul… no, nurturing his wife..
