Chapter 106: Maverick Catches Ghosts

However, to Maverick’s surprise, not only did the talisman papers not turn green, but the golden light they emitted became stronger and stronger.

Lauren was surrounded by a ball of fire.

Of course, Lauren could not feel it. She was currently playing with System Divine Nine.

“The answer is… no pain, no gain!” Lauren said in her mind.

System Divine Nine was momentarily speechless, and Lauren knew that she had won this time.

Lauren said, “System Divine Nine, you should go back and read more books. Our culture has a long history and there is so much to learn. All you do is eat and sleep all day, so you definitely won’t be able to learn.”

[System Divine Nine: How could you say that?!]

In any case, he was one of the nine remaining systems in the world. He had lived for more than 400 years and knew a little about everything. However, he was told by Lauren now that all he did was eat and sleep.

[System Divine Nine: Hmph, I’m not going to talk to you anymore!]

At the same time, Maverick had also completed his mission.

The light emitted by the talisman papers around Lauren gradually weakened. The talisman papers rose into the air one after another and then disappeared.

“Master Maverick, may I ask if I can leave now?” Lauren asked.

Maverick was still in a daze because of the golden light just now. When he heard Lauren’s question, he let out an “ah” absent-mindedly.

“Master Maverick, there’s a ghost behind you.”

Upon hearing this, Maverick instantly came back to his senses.

He held the mahogany sword and turned around. He took out the talisman paper and moved quickly. The talisman paper turned green very quickly and flew around randomly in the air.

From an outsider’s point of view, the talisman paper looked like it was being blown around by the wind during a typhoon.

However, Lauren could see that the talisman paper had already stuck to the ghost and it was currently struggling.

Maverick chanted an incantation while waving the mahogany sword in his hand. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped by a few degrees, and out of the blue, a gust of wind actually blew in this enclosed space.

Lauren stood calmly in a corner, allowing her black hair to blow in all directions.

“Do I usually look this stupid when I am catching ghosts?”

Finally, it was the right time, Maverick raised the mahogany sword and stabbed it into the ghost’s head. The ghost’s mouth was wide open, revealing its sharp teeth. There was no more blood left for the ghost to bleed. Maverick pulled out his mahogany sword and slashed the ghost in half. It was instantly reduced to ashes.

This set of movements took about three to four minutes.

Lauren shook her head silently. Master Maverick’s standard was just normal, as he actually took so long to catch a nameless ghost. If it were her, she would have caught it in just a few seconds.

Of course, Maverick was not as well-equipped as Lauren. After all, Lauren had clairvoyance and could see where the ghost was at a glance. Meanwhile, Maverick had to be guided by a talisman.

The door of the room finally opened. Although Lauren and Maverick had only been inside for a short ten minutes, Franklin felt that these ten minutes were longer than an hour.

Gertrude was obviously nervous for a moment when she saw both of them came out of the room. She wanted to stand up, but in the end, she maintained in her sitting posture.

It was only the sudden clenching of her hands that betrayed her emotions.

“Master Maverick must be tired. Come and sit down.”

Gertrude warmly beckoned Master Maverick to sit down.

Perhaps it was because he had just caught a ghost, Master Maverick’s face was a little pale. He sat down and drank three cups of tea in a row.

Everyone on the sofa looked at each other.

Franklin carefully observed Lauren. Lauren noticed Franklin’s gaze, she raised her head to meet Franklin’s eyes, and smiled at him.

This smile was as sweet as before, and both sides of the dimple were very deep.

Franklin finally felt relieved, it seemed like Lauren was not mistreated while inside the room.

“Master Maverick, how is it? Did you see anything…strange in there?” Quinn asked as he was worried about Franklin and wanted to save him from Lauren!

Franklin glared at him.

Master Maverick wiped the water off the corner of his mouth and nodded.

“Just now, a little ghost was found inside.”

“Look Grandma, I told you!”

Quinn did not believe in spirits and ghosts. He did not care whether what Master Maverick said was true or not. As long as he could prove that Lauren was up to no good, it would be fine.

He did not know what methods she had used, but even his brother was fooling around with her.

It was precisely because of this that Quinn “complained” to Gertrude, hoping that Franklin would return to normal.

Gertrude asked, “Master Maverick, are you saying that there’s really something dirty following Lauren?”

Gertrude looked at Lauren with an even colder gaze. In her eyes, the Torres family would never provoke such a filthy thing.

Maverick quickly waved his hand.
