This was because he had already read about this evil spirit in the Apocalyptic Book, and the method to resolve this issue was actually very clear and simple.
Joe glanced at the jade bracelet before he took it in his hands in a casual manner.
He examined the jade bracelet and realized that the crystal was really very clear and transparent. It would definitely look stunning on his wife, Claire’s hand.
As for Graham…
To be honest, he was not a bad person.
His only wrong doing was the fact that he had failed to discipline the descendants of his family properly.
Since Graham was also begging him, it would not cost him anything to help him.
Therefore, Joe replied, “Since you are begging me, I will give you face and help you.”
Saying that, he took the jade bracelet from Graham.
Graham was thrilled when he saw Joe accepting the jade bracelet. He quickly bowed again as he thanked him. “Mr. Smith, thank you so much. Thank you for helping us get out of this messy situation. The Quinton family is very reputable in Aurous Hill, if you need any help in the future, please do not hesitate to ask me for help. I will definitely do my best to help you.”
The crowd was surprised at the turn of events.
There was hope for the Quinton family!
Joe thought for a moment before replying, “Alright, then. If that is the case, I will help you this time.”
Graham shook Joe’s hand excitedly before he said, “Yes, please, Mr. Smith. Please!”
Joe then asked for a piece of yellow talisman and cinnabar from the owner of the antique stall next door. After drawing a few strokes on the piece of yellow paper, he handed it over to Graham immediately.
“Put this talisman on the jade plug and bring it home with you. Make sure that you burn incense every day. After seven to forty-nine days, the evil spirit will be completely purged from the jade plug.”
“During these seven to forty-nine days, your entire family should be vegetarian and avoid killing and blood. Remember to take a shower every day, and you have to remember to burn incense every day without fail.”
“Mr. Smith, thank you for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind.”
Graham accepted the talisman from Joe with both hands, extremely grateful toward Joe. He carefully placed the talisman on the jade plug before wrapping it up in a yellow paper bag.
As soon as he had placed the talisman on the jade plug and wrapped it up in the yellow paper bag, Graham suddenly felt as though his whole body had gotten so much lighter. He also felt much more refreshed in an instant, and that was how he immediately knew that Joe’s method was working.
He was ecstatic!
It was such a stroke of luck that he had managed to run into Joe today, otherwise, the Quinton family would have been completely destroyed!
Meanwhile, Zachary could only stare at Joe with awe written all over his face. As soon as he saw that Graham was already packing up, Zachary hurried over to Joe with a sly smile on his face.
“Big brother, could you do me a favor? Could you tell me what I should do so that I would be able to get a beautiful wife?”
Joe frowned as soon as he heard Zachary’s words. After that, he shook his head before replying, “If you really want to find a beautiful wife for yourself, the first thing you have to do is to get plastic surgery done first.”
Aurora, who was standing at the side, could not help but smirk.
Zachary was really ugly indeed, so it was impossible for any girl to fall in love with him.
Joe, on the other hand, was really handsome…
Graham smiled before he spoke again respectfully, “Mr. Smith, we will never forget your kindness toward the Quinton family. It might be a little rushed today as we did not have any time to make any preparations at all, however, I would like to invite you to the Quinton family mansion for dinner tomorrow. I would like to host a banquet to personally thank you for your kindness, Mr. Smith.”
“It’s okay, I have something on tomorrow.” Joe replied indifferently as he shook his head. “The only reason why I helped you today is because I know that you have always done a lot of good deeds for others. Otherwise, I would not have helped you at all. Do you understand what I am saying?”
Graham was taken aback at this. Still, he laughed before nodding. “I understand! Mr. Smith, please do not hesitate to come and look for me if you need any help in the future. The Quinton family will always welcome you.”
After that, Graham hurriedly took out a gold-plated business card that contained his personal contact information on it.
Joe took the business card from Graham without even looking at it before turning around and leading his father-in-law out of the place.
Graham continued staring at their backs as he watched the two of them slowly leave the place. After that, he turned around and glared at Adam. “From now on, I want you to bow and greet Mr. Smith in a respectful manner if you ever run into him in Aurous Hill. Do not cause me any more trouble!”
Adam replied in an aggrieved manner. “I did not know that I would be offending someone like him on this street…”
Aurora had a cold expression on her face, and she gritted her teeth as she watched Joe walk away.
Even though she really respected Joe for his skills and knowledge, she could not forget nor forgive him for kicking her on the ass.
After all, for an arrogant girl like her, this kind of thing was simply unforgivable.
Graham sighed as he tried to comfort her. “Aurora, don’t try to retaliate against Mr. Smith, okay? Our family is counting on him to pull through this misfortune…”
“Do you think it will really work?” Adam muttered.
Graham could not stop himself from scolding Adam yet again. “If you continue to spout nonsense, I will break your legs immediately!”
Adam kept quiet because he did not dare to provoke his father further.
Aurora too stomped her feet bitterly as she said, “I know dad… I will not provoke him…”
However, the more she thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable she felt.
“It is really such a pity…” Graham suddenly sighed as he shook his head.
Aurora turned around to look at him before she asked, “What is a pity?”
Graham glanced at her before he said, “Unfortunately, Mr. Smith is already married. Otherwise, I think that the both of you would make a perfect match…”
“Dad, what are you talking about?!” Aurora replied in embarrassment and annoyance.

Jacob was still very surprised as they made their way back home.
He could not believe that the head of the Quinton family would actually be so respectful toward his son- in-law who was nobody at all.
“Joe, was anything you said to Mr. Quinton true at all?”
Jacob could not help but ask Joe because he was very confused. It seemed as though his son-in- law was becoming more and more of a liar.
Joe chuckled before replying, “Well, half of it is true, and half of it is probably false. Isn’t it interesting to keep it as mysterious as possible?”
Jacob was shocked at Joe’s reply and reprimanded him immediately. “Oh my God, what have you done? I can’t believe that you would actually dare to lie to the Quinton family. You even accepted such an expensive jade bracelet from them! Do you know what they could do to us if they found out that you were lying to them?”
Joe shook his head as he replied, “What’s the big deal? At most, I will just return the jade bracelet to them. What can they do to me? Kill me?”
Jacob could only sigh as there was nothing else that he could do. He was obviously worried, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing much that the Quinton family could do to them. Perhaps, Joe’s method would really work to help the Quinton family. They could only take that gamble.
Upon returning home, Joe went into his bedroom before taking out the ‘Peace and Wealth’ pebble that he had bought from Zachary.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy from the pebble penetrating into his body.
