Everyone looked at the man beside Elaine. Needless to think, he must be Master Hanson. Among the
crowd, a short man, Jonathan Redd, was the leader of this place. He looked to an elder who was
wearing glasses beside him and asked in a low voice, “Professor Walter, what do you think?”
Professor Walter was a lecturer in University of Eastcliff who enjoyed high prestige and was universally
respected due to his extraordinarily high academic level. However, he looked extremely embarrassed at
the moment while replying softly, “Well, we don’t know about this yet. I believe you’re aware that we’ve
tested the water samples for over ten times but the results are the same. We didn’t find any
contamination in the water. Perhaps this incident can’t be explained by science at all.”
Professor Walter and his team had been investigating this issue for some time but they still could not
determine the root cause of the illness no matter how many investigations they carried out. Yet, the
villagers from these few villages kept pressing them for an explanation so they had no choice but to
temporarily announce to the public that it was due to contamination. But the actual cause of this incident
was still unknown and the hidden danger remained.
Jonathan and the others had run out of ideas so they had no choice but to seek other solutions.
Therefore, they tried to find a few feng shui masters to check if the incident was a supernatural one. As
for Elaine, she failed to seduce Julian previously but she was lucky to carry on with Master Hanson later
on.
On the other hand, Leo became a vagrant after he was fired from the company. When he heard about
this incident, he immediately brought Master Hanson to this place, trying to make money out of this.
Upon hearing Professor Walter’s words, Leo immediately said, “The issue is extremely clear now—the
strange illness is undoubtedly caused by the feng shui that is disrupted due to the dredging of the man-
made lake. Contaminated water? Bullsh*t! Professor Walter, have you found any contamination after you
carried out countless research on the water samples that you brought back? Let me tell you, don’t regard
traditional methods as rubbish because you might stumble upon situations that can only be explained
with that.”
Jonathan was still hesitating. Seeing that, Leo immediately explained, “This is Master Hanson, the
famous feng shui master in Eastshire. His teacher is the late Master Herold and he’s a close friend with
Dr. Ellis of Eastshire, who is also well-known. On top of that, Master Hanson learned a number of
medical skills from Dr. Ellis, so he’s kind of Dr. Ellis’s apprentice. He seldom undertakes such tasks but
he can’t bear to leave these villagers in misery, so he came to help all of you out.”
Upon hearing that, the people around him gazed at Master Hanson in reverence. They hadn’t heard of
Master Hanson but they had heard of Master Herold and Dr. Ellis. Since Master Hanson was related to
those significant figures, he must be someone eminent too. Meanwhile, Master Hanson remained
haughty and didn’t even spare a glance at these people.
Right at that moment, Matthew and the others came. As soon as Leo and the others saw them, their
faces instantly darkened, especially Grace who clenched her teeth and sneered, “Oh look, isn’t this our
king of losers? What’s the matter? Why did you come here too? Did you come to visit Master Hanson
after getting the news that he’s here? Matthew, please don’t waste your time. It’s a humiliation for Master
Hanson to even take a glance at you, who’s a loser that lives off women. Don’t make a fool of yourself
here!”
Matthew knitted his eyebrows, disappointed at Grace who hadn’t changed a bit after what happened
previously. In fact, she was as sarcastic and mean as usual.
“Why are you guys here? You’re not welcomed here so get lost!” Matthew said in a cold voice.
After Grace was stunned for a second, she burst out laughing. “Matthew, what are you talking about?
What rights do you have to ask us to leave? You’re the one who should get lost! Can’t you see that we’re
here with Master Hanson? If you ask us to leave, it means you’re asking Master Hanson to leave too!”
Master Hanson coldly glanced at Matthew while his eyes were filled with contempt. “Who are these
people and why are they making noise? Tell them to get lost so that they won’t affect my judgement!”
said Master Hanson coldly.
Jonathan immediately nodded but just before he said anything, he suddenly noticed Alaric, causing his
expression to change abruptly. “A-Are you Alaric Jackson?”
Grace was astonished. “Do you know each other?”
Instantly, Jonathan nodded. “I’m lucky enough to have met him once. Speaking of which, they’re the
developers of this project. Mr. Jackson, it’s been a long time since we met. Are you here today to inspect
the construction site?”
Alaric nodded calmly. “You’re being too courteous. This project belongs to Mr. Larson now and I’m here
today to accompany him for the inspection.”
