Realizing that Rey was looking at the evil spirit, Gerald then replied, “I’ll be exterminating it so that it can’t cause any further harm!”
Following that, Gerald took the Phangrottom Talisman out… and upon waving it before the evil spirit, it instantly let out a mighty roar!
However, the longer it roared, the feebler it sounded, until eventually, it was reduced into nothing but ash… And just like that, Gerald had defeated the evil spirit!
Thanks to the Phangrottom Talisman, dealing with spirits was no longer a major issue for Gerald.
Rey himself could only stare dumbfounded by how easily Gerald had exorcised the evil spirit. To think that the Phangrottom Talisman was that powerful!
“The talisman is truly incredible, brother Gerald!” exclaimed Rey.
“Indeed. Why else do you think the Phangrottom Clan see it as a worthy treasure?” replied Gerald.
If even the Phangrottom Clan treasured it, it was undoubtedly a powerful item… It certainly explained why people even risked their lives just to obtain the talisman. Even so, in the end, the talisman could only ever belong to Gerald….
Regardless, now that the issue had been dealt with, Gerald was prompted to say, “Alright, we’re done here! Let’s head to the Great Council!”
With that, the duo left the Elysian Labyrinth, and not too long after, their car came to a halt before the Great Council building…
Despite the fact that it was already midnight there, the entire building was still brightly lit and the atmosphere there was as tense as ever… After all, Harold and his men had anxiously been waiting for Gerald and Rey to report back.
Regardless, upon seeing Gerald and Rey step out, one of Harold’s subordinates—who had been stationed in front of the building to report the duo’s return—immediately ran toward Harold’s office before excitedly reporting, “S-sir! They’re back!”
Upon hearing that, the delighted Harold instantly got to his feet and rushed out of his office.
Seeing Gerald and Rey there, favonovel.com quickly greeted them before asking with an expectant look on his face, “What’s the situation like, Mr. Crawford?”
Looking at Harold, Gerald then calmly replied, “I’ve already exorcised the evil spirit, Mr. Lee. Everything’s settled now!”
Hearing that, Mr. Lee immediately heaved a sigh of relief before nodding. By this point, favonovel.com fully believed in Gerald’s words.
“Now then, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave!” added Gerald.
“Of course! Again, we’re extremely grateful for all your help, Mr. Crawford!” replied Harold as favonovel.com personally saw them off till they got their car…
It was only after the duo left when Harold finally returned into the building…
“…Um… Sir? Do you really think the case has been solved…? Just like that…? I mean, not to be rude, but the idea of ghosts existing…” muttered one of Harold’s subordinates now that Gerald and Rey had left.
It was natural for them to feel doubtful. After all, anyone would feel skeptical over the existence of ghosts.
Even so, the harsh reality was that ghosts truly did exist in the same plane as they did. Just because they couldn’t see them, didn’t mean they weren’t real…
