Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Mister Jefferson Has A Unique Perspective 

Alex glanced at Stefan before turning to look at Maggie. “I can help you, Ms. Grant, but I must warn you. The Dragon’s Lock has already formed. To break it, I may have to destroy the earlier arrangement of your 

room.” 

Maggie heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s no problem. In fact, you can even destroy the entire mansion to break the spell.” 

Alex laughed. “Very well, then. Mr. Green, if you could find me some bronze rods, I’d be very grateful.” 

Warner nodded but did not leave immediately. He cocked his hand back and punched Mr. Carter once more for good measure, eliciting a pained groan and a gush of blood from the latter’s split lip. Only then did Warner leave the room. 

Noah swallowed any thoughts of escaping and remained on the floor limply. 

A few minutes later, Warner returned with a bronze rod with a sharp tip. 

“Mr. Jefferson, will this do?” Warner asked, holding out the rod. 

Alex nodded and pointed at the wall to his left. “There’s a water pipe running through that wall, which is the main lifeline of the Dragon Lock Spell. If the pipe is broken, the lock will release.” 

“There’s a pipe buried in the wall?” Both Maggie and Warner sounded surprised and a little disbelieving. 

Alex smiled and said nothing. 

Stefan immediately said without doubting Alex, “Just do as Mr. Jefferson says, Mr. Green. If he says there’s a pipe in the wall, then there’ll be one. Mr. Jefferson won’t be wrong.” 

“Alright, I’ll open the wall up.” Warner was unconvinced. He pried proceeded nonetheless. 

Maggie looked at Alex once, then back again at the wall he had pointed out. This was her bedroom. If even she did not know that there was a pipe embedded in the wall somewhere, then she definitely did not 

believe that Alex could have predicted that. 

As Warner was a martial artist as well, he completed the task in no time, exposing the grey concrete underneath it. Seeing the unbroken surface of the concrete, Maggie was convinced that there was no pipe buried in there. 

“Mr. Jefferson, there aren’t any pipes here,” Warner said. Faced with untouched concrete both in the wall and on the floor, he found it hard to believe that there were pipes underneath it. 

For one long moment, even Stefan wondered if Alex had miscalculated. It seemed so unlikely, 

Alex smiled calmly at their suspicious looks. “The Dragon’s Lock requires a central axis to take shape. According to my deductions, the central axis has to be a water pipe. When the water in the pipe flows through the eye of the array, it completes the grip of the lock. So, trust me when I say there’s a pipe buried in the wall. Break it open and you’ll see.” 

Warner was still unconvinced. “Do you have X-ray vision, Mr. Jefferson? How can you be so sure?” 

Maggie was trying to gauge if Alex was exaggerating. He was neither the architect of this mansion nor a construction worker who had worked on building the mansion. How could he be so confident about the pipe in the wall? 

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t even have that superpower. It’s a deduction based on my understanding of the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements.”
