The Moore family was one of the top families in Aurous Hill.
However, the Moore family could not be compared to the Smith family in terms of their status or prestige.
Jasmine did not know about Joe’s true identity, and in her eyes, Joe was just a young man who had some skills and abilities in antique trade as well as some knowledge on metaphysics.
When Joe had called for the Thunder Order and used thunder and lightning to strike Jack to death at the White family mansion, he had indeed scared many people to death. Therefore, everyone regarded him as the master of metaphysics. However, Joe hid the truth from Jasmine and intentionally told her that everything was just a coincidence. After all, how could an ordinary person like him actually call for thunder and lightning whenever he wanted to.
Hence, Jasmine was also very confused and thought that Joe was probably just really lucky.
Ever since that day, Jasmine disappeared from Joe’s world completely.
Joe initially thought that she had already gone missing, however, he did not expect her to be in trouble.
Joe asked Albert, “What is the matter? What is wrong with Jasmine?”
Albert quickly replied, “Miss Moore has encountered a lot of bad luck and misfortune lately. I think that something might be wrong with her Feng Shui because she has really been very unlucky…”
After that, Albert continued speaking, “The young lady already tried to seek advice and help from many Feng Shui masters in Aurous Hill, but they could not help her at all. So, I would like to ask for your help. I want to ask if you can pay her a visit so that you can help to solve this predicament that Miss Moore is facing.”
Joe replied indifferently, “Can you tell me about some of the problems that she has encountered so that I will be able to make a judgment on this matter?”
Albert hurriedly replied, “The young lady has experienced many injuries lately. She has gotten into several small car accidents and even sprained her ankle when she was walking down a hill. Miss Moore also burned her hand when she was drinking a cup of coffee, and she was bitten by her own dog yesterday. Apart from that, the Moore family has also encountered some problems with some of their business partners, and this has impacted her family business greatly.”
Albert then continued explaining, “What saddened the young lady the most was when she lost the precious diamond necklace she had been wearing for more than ten years. That was a relic that her mother gave to her before she passed away. Miss Moore cried for a few days after losing that necklace.”
Joe chuckled before replying, “It seems as though Jasmine is really facing some bad luck because of bad Feng Shui lately…”
“Exactly!” Albert exclaimed before saying, “Mr. Smith, you are a metaphysics master. I believe that you will definitely have a way to resolve this matter, right?”
At this time, Joe asked him, “Albert, why are you so concerned and worried about Jasmine? What is your relationship with the Moore family?”
Albert quickly responded, “Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Smith. Miss Moore’s father was my benefactor. The reason why I was able to stand up and support myself in Aurous Hill was that her father helped and supported me. Initially, I really wanted to thank the old man for everything he had done for me. Unfortunately, the old man left this world early. As a result, I have always kept in close contact with Miss Moore’s grandfather and I have always helped them to resolve any matter that is inconvenient for them to handle personally.”
After that, Albert spoke up again. “To put it bluntly, the Moore family is my benefactor, and I am doing everything that I can to repay the favor.”
“Okay,” Joe replied as he nodded. “I can tell that you are very sincere about helping them. Since Jasmine and I are also friends, I will do her this favor. Why don’t you come and pick me up tomorrow and we will go to her house to take a look together?”
“Okay!” Albert replied excitedly. “Thank you, Mr. Smith. I am really very thankful for your kindness.”

Early the next morning, Don Albert gave Joe a phone call.
After Joe went downstairs, Don Albert, who was sitting in the car, quickly beckoned for Joe to come over immediately. “Mr. Smith, get in the car!”
Joe nodded before walking over to the car quickly. Albert started driving as soon as Joe got into the car and then headed toward the outskirts of the city.
On the way there, Albert suddenly said anxiously, “I heard that a very famous and reputable Feng Shui master will also be coming from Hong Kong today. Mr. Smith, you cannot let him steal your limelight!”
After that, Albert continued speaking. “Miss Moore is the eldest daughter of the Moore family, and she will be taking over the Moore family business soon. If we manage to save her from this predicament, she will definitely take care of us in the future!”
Joe laughed before saying, “Albert, you are not so kind after all. Yesterday, you told me that the reason why you were so worried about Jasmine was that you wanted to repay her father’s kindness. However, now your true colors are finally exposed! It seems as though you just want to get into Jasmine’s good books?”
Albert quickly replied embarrassedly, “Well, repaying their kindness is just one aspect of it. However, getting closer to them and getting into their good books is a whole different story! I know that you have some skills and you know what you are doing, Mr. Smith. Therefore, it is also not a bad thing for you to get closer to Miss Moore. After all, Miss Moore is very young and attractive, and she also has a strong family background. If both of you were to become good friends and join forces in the future, don’t you think that it would be a good thing for you?”
Joe smiled before he replied faintly, “If the Feng Shui master that the Moore family hired from Hong Kong is really good, there is nothing else that I can do.”
Albert sighed as soon as he heard Joe’s words. “Well, let’s go over and have a look anyway. You are a master of metaphysics with real skills and abilities. Let’s see if we can use this opportunity to take this business deal away from that man from Hong Kong!”
Joe did not reply because he was thinking about this matter in his heart. If Master Lennard from Hong Kong was really a descendant of the Lennard family, Joe was certain that he would have some skills and an appropriate level of expertise in Feng Shui.
Therefore, he might as well make the trip to the Moore family to take a look at what Master Lennard was capable of. Perhaps, he could even have some enlightenment to further comprehend and study the contents of the Apocalyptic Book!

Miss Moore’s villa was located in the most luxurious villa area in the suburbs.
Albert finally stopped the car in front of a super luxurious and beautiful villa.
At this time, a man who looked to be the Moore family’s butler came out to see who it was. Albert hurriedly raised his head and asked, “Uncle Oscar, is the eldest young lady home?”
The butler nodded indifferently before he asked, “Albert, what are you doing here?”
Albert laughed before he replied with a smile on his face. “Uncle Oscar, I invited a Feng Shui master here today to have a look at the young lady. He is truly a very skillful master of metaphysics!”
The butler glanced at Joe who was sitting in the passenger’s seat. He obviously did not take the young man seriously and simply replied coldly, “Albert, Master Lennard from Hong Kong is already here to take a look at Miss Moore and give her advice on her Feng Shui matters. If there is nothing else, I think you should go home first.”
Albert quickly replied, “Uncle Oscar, since Mr. Smith is already here, can’t you just let him in so that he can just take a look at Miss Moore? Besides, Mr. Smith is also friends with Miss Moore!”
Oscar then replied mildly, “There are so many people who always say that they are friends with Miss Moore. I am already immune to it. Besides, would anyone you bring here today be better than Master Lennard from Hong Kong? The Moore family has spent a lot of money and effort just to bring Master Lennard all the way here. I am not going to let you in so that you can cause any trouble for Master Lennard!”
Joe was a little surprised when he heard Oscar’s words. He was not surprised because of the identity of the Feng Shui master, but he was surprised because Albert was a well-known mobster boss that everyone was scared of in Aurous Hill. However, it seemed as though the Moore family’s butler was not afraid of him at all.
Moreover, Albert even talked to him in such a respectful and polite manner…
At this time, Joe could not help thinking to himself that if news about the way Oscar spoke to Albert traveled across Aurous Hill, no one would be afraid of Don Albert anymore!
Even though the butler obviously despised Albert, the latter was not offended at all. On the contrary, he continued speaking to Oscar respectfully with a smile on his face. “Look here, Uncle Oscar. The issues that Miss Moore is facing are getting more and more severe. All of us are worried about her! Moreover, we can’t be certain that Master Lennard from Hong Kong will definitely be able to resolve the problems that Miss Moore is facing.”
Upon hearing that, Oscar replied coldly, “Do you really think that you will be able to find anyone as capable as Master Lennard? Please leave immediately. You will never be able to pay the Moore family back for their losses if you interrupt Master Lennard while he is reading Miss Moore’s Feng Shui for her!”
Albert scratched his head anxiously because he did not expect Oscar to stop them from entering the villa. If Oscar refused to let them in, how would Joe be able to help Jasmine?
As he thought about it, Albert suddenly blurted out, “Uncle Oscar, have you heard about Jack Yaleman? He was also a Feng Shui master who was extremely arrogant, but when he overstepped his boundaries in Aurous Hill, Mr. Smith was the one who called for thunder and lightning to strike him to death!”
Oscar was dumbfounded after listening to Albert.
He then looked at Joe in awe.
He had already heard about what had happened to Jack.
Unexpectedly, it was done by the young man in front of him now!
Oscar immediately developed a sense of respect for Joe.
Looking at Joe respectfully, he said, “I have already heard of your skills and ability, and I truly admire you, Mr. Smith.”
Then, Oscar hesitated for a moment before he said, “If this is the case, please go in and take a look at Miss Moore, but Mr. Smith, this is a first come first serve basis. Therefore, I hope that you will not bother Master Lennard before he is done looking at Miss Moore’s Feng Shui. After all, Master Lennard came before you. Moreover, I hope that Mr. Smith will not interfere if Master Lennard has already successfully resolved Miss Moore’s problem.”
