Chapter 94: Relief
This novel is translated and hosted on bcatranslation
During this transformative night, Miles experienced a whirlwind of revelations concerning numerous issues.
If anyone were to question him about his confidence in resolving the eerie supernatural incident plaguing them, he would, in all honesty, confess his doubts. However, when confronted by the group from the oddly-named “Cockroach Club”, he felt an overwhelming need to project unwavering certainty.
He internally debated, “If I don’t fool them into trusting me, then the next course of my plan won’t go as I wish.”
Sure enough, when Miles shared his findings from the phone, Yiming, Page, and Stretch simultaneously directed their focus towards him. Their expressions were not ones of surprise or admiration. On the contrary, they bore looks of skepticism and mistrust.
Page, with a hint of disdain in his voice, remarked, “Your confidence is truly astounding. Do you genuinely believe you can put an end to the eerie happenings in Yellow Hill Village? Just to remind you, we saw two ghost tamers perish within a short span of time just last night. Heck, Sheng and Tian were taken by surprise and couldn’t even contest the attacking spirit. It’s starting to look like you purposely drew us to this village.”
Miles, with measured calmness, replied, “If you truly didn’t trust me, then what brought you back here?”
Page’s irritation was palpable. He retorted sharply, “The village is eerily locked down. We’re trapped! We can come in, but there’s no way out. Do you honestly believe we wouldn’t leave if we could? Did you know of this trap and decided to keep it from us, finding amusement in our desperate situation?”
Feeling cornered and left with no escape route, Page’s anger towards Miles intensified. He firmly believed that should he meet his end in Yellow Hill Village, he would make sure to exact revenge on Miles for the club event.
