Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Appalled 

Baron was a man in his fifties. Despite looking skeletal, he had a benevolent and kind countenance. 

He closed the book of scriptures in his hand and glanced at Alex and Jessica before nodding his head and saying, “I knew she would come back. She escaped the last time because she was injured. She definitely won’t take this lying down. Come on. I’ll be sure to get rid of her once and for all.” 

“Thank you, Mr. Miller!” Jessica exclaimed and hurriedly led the way. 

Alex followed behind while looking at Baron and wondering, Did Jessica’s mother really get possessed by a ghost? 

He was feeling a little skeptical, as he hadn’t encountered a ghost before. 

But he didn’t say much as he drove them back to Jessica’s home. 

“The master is here!” 

“Mr. Miller!” 

The villagers gathered around Baron, greeting the man with respect. 

Baron nodded slightly to the crowd before he walked toward Jessica’s courtyard. 

As Alex and Jessica entered the courtyard in his wake, something suddenly stirred inside Alex. 

I’m sensing a strong demonic presence in here. It seems like Jessica’s mother is really being possessed by something evil. I wonder what that ghost will look like. 

“You two stay outside.” At the door, Baron waved a hand, signaling Alex and Jessica to stop. He did not want them to enter the house. 

“I’ll help you out, Mr. Miller,” Alex smiled briefly. He was curious to see what the ghost in the house would look like and was even more curious when he sensed a stronger demonic activity level as he moved closer to the door. 

“You’re just an ordinary person. Do you have a death wish? Stay out of it if I’ve said so,” Baron said. impatiently, looking somewhat displeased. 

“Mr. Jefferson, it’s dangerous inside…” Jessica said hastily. 

“Alright.” Alex shrugged and no longer insisted, although he felt a little disappointed. 

Jessica cast an apologetic glance at Alex without explaining too much. 

At that moment, Baron brandished a foot–long sword and performed a spell with his hand, muttering incantations to the sword. 

A yellow light flashed from between his index and middle fingers and struck the sword, giving life to the dull–looking object. 

Thereupon, Baron pushed the door open and entered the house. 

Witnessing this process, Alex secretly nodded. 

Although the technique and power of Baron’s spells were weak, Alex could tell that it was an authentic technique the man had used. The than wasn’t a scam artist. 

But of course, his skills were so much worse than the geomancy skills he had seen in the Nine Heaven Scrolls.
