Chapter 813 The Trap Nathan immediately panicked when he heard Daniel's proposal.

"What? You already connedout of ten grand and now you want another one thousand?" "Nathan, if you don't want to pay the thousand, then the next ta ghost attacks you and you call for my help, the price will double. I'll charge you twenty thousand." "Hick, you... you have no morals! You bastard!" "Callwhatever you want, but I'm providing a paid service, and these are the fixed prices." "The prices are set by me, no room for negotiation. If you don't want to pay one thousand now, you'll have to pay twenty thousand later." "You... you bastard!" Nathan roared, his face turning red with anger. He felt a strong hatred toward Daniel.

But what choice did he have? They were on Golden Light Hill, a place where ghosts could attack at any moment! Nathan had no choice but to agree.

"Fine! I agree!" He begrudgingly complied, realizing that refusing had already cost him ten thousand dollars. If he refused again, it could cost him another twenty thousand! With another thousand in his pocket, Daniel led the group onward.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, with no more encounters with ghosts.

They eventually arrived at an abandoned villa complex. It was overgrown with weeds, giving off an eerie vibe.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The wind began to howl again.

Since many of the villas were incomplete, they had no doors or windows. The wind blowing through the empty houses created a haunting sound, reminiscent of ghostly wails.

The eerie sounds raised the hairs on Nathan's neck.

"Nathan, is the protection spell | drew on your face still working? If a ghost shows up and the spell doesn't protect you, you owetriple the amount I paid! No, wait, ten times Actually, a hundred times!" Nathan pointed to his face, which Daniel had marked with a crude drawing of a turtle using ash, demanding.

Nathan figured this was his chance to reclaim the eleven thousand he'd been swindled out of, maybe even make a profit! "Nathan, we're both men. Men stick to their word promised that if any ghost bothers you after drawing that protection spell, I'll take care of it and ensure your safety. As for compensating you triple, tenfold, or a hundredfold, I never promised that. So, it doesn't exist. Don't imagine things," Daniel replied calmly.

"Hick, what are you saying? Are you admitting that the protection spell you drew is useless?" Nathan questioned.

"Of course it's useful! Ever since I drew that spell, we haven'tencountered any ghosts. Before I drew it, we ran into ghosts twice, and both times they cfor you." "Hick, I see now, you've been trickingall along! You connedout of ten grand, and then another grand!" Perry couldn't remain silent any longer. He had to intervene.

"Alright, enough already. Nathan, focus on what's important. We'ren here to find my daughter and ensure she's safe. Daniel, no more games, alright? We need to make sure everyone gets through this safely."

Nathan grumbled but stayed silent, conceding to Perry's authority. They all knew the real priority was finding Chide and resolving the night's tensions, ghosts or no ghosts.
