Chapter 826 Group of Ghosts


"…"


"…"


"…"


Silence followed her words as Claude, Lily and Qin Yuanfeng stared at her in awe.


Ghost? Really a ghost? The sad thing about this is that the three of them could not really tell if the older woman was joking or if she really believed the words that she was saying. Victor was a ghost?


"A ghost?" Lily was the first one to recover. "That is not a very nice joke." She used to live in that mansion and was even planning to go back there to check out some of her grandmother's things. However, after this conversation, there was no way that Lily would go back to that house!


"You don't believe me, do you? But trust me, I am telling the truth. The man would just appear and disappear in corners! I am sure he could travel through walls!" She then looked at Claude. "Grandson… these people think that I am spouting nonsense. Please tell them that I am really serious about this."


"Eh…" Claude gave an awkward laugh. "Grandmother… how could you say that he was a ghost?" Even Claude found these claims impossible to believe in.


"I am telling the truth! When I was in the mansion… I always felt that someone was listening in on my conversation with a friend and I found that man suspicious! I thought he was too… loyal." At that time, Madam Luo never really believed in loyalty. "He was really strong too… he looked really strong. You know what is more funny? His hands… were calloused— as if he had trained with them for decades!"


"But… he was a butler. His hands are supposed to be like that." Claude reasoned with his grandmother.


"No! No… not that kind of calloused. That man was always practicing with a sword! I knew it! My father… your great grandfather used to train my brother with the sword and I used to watch them all the time! I can always identify someone who practiced with a sword." Certainty laced Madam Luo's voice. "You don't understand this… but I believe that man was Lilian's assassin!"


"…"


"…"


"…"


A ghost, and then an assassin? Just what kind of conversation was this? Lily didn't know if she should laugh or cry. This was completely weird! Eliza had told her that Madam Luo was extremely forgetful but she could still handle a proper conversation. Because of this, she was still invited to any events the noble families held! She was a jolly person and loved to joke around but she was not someone who would hallucinate.


"So… you are saying that my grandmother's butler is a ghost... assassin?" Qin Yuanfeng asked. "Like a ghost who walks through walls and kills people using a sword?" He immediately asked himself if the older woman was trying to tell them about a horror movie instead of something from her past.


That should be possible right?


"No… No… you must believe me. That man was the one who helped Lilian once. I saw him clutch a man's neck and lift him in the air. That man was supposed to be the person that I asked to try and seduce Lilian! Then, that Victor swooped in like an eagle!" her eyes widened, her hand waving in the air. "I was there! I was watching hoping to report it back to Fredrick! Then… That Victor just… he just…clutched his neck so hard that his neck snapped. I can still hear it breaking in my mind!"


"Alright… I think this is enough for today." Claude said. "I think my grandmother is extremely tired. You can come back tomorrow."


"What tired?" Madam Luo asked. "You think… I am an old woman?"


"Grandmother… let's go to your room. I think it is already time for your afternoon nap."


"But… we were talking about some fun things? Why would you want me to rest instead? Claude! You know how people of my age needed to talk about some fun things instead of lying in our rooms all alone!" Madam Luo scolded. "Don't tell me you didn't learn this from school?"


"Grandmother… we really should—"


"But… I am still talking!" Madam Luo said. "You… I will surely talk to your grandfather about this!"


Claude shook his head. As expected, the mention of his grandfather made him quiet.


Seeing this, Madam Luo continued. "Alright… where was I? Oh yes… did I tell you about their wedding?"


"We were talking about Victor the ghost." Lily's gaze was serious. As she thought about Madam Luo's words. Lily was not dumb. She too had felt that Victor seemed to be too… composed for a butler. At first, she felt that it was because the man was used to Lilian's ways. But what if it was something else?


Moreover, when Madam Luo said that he could walk through walls… what if she meant she saw Victor used some sort of a secret door? What if… all this was muddled by her memories so she thought of him as a ghost instead? And what if she really saw him kill someone?


Lily remembered Eliza saying that when she came back here, Madam Luo was already a changed woman. What if… all the things that she experienced while she was there… was enough to change her?


Back when Lily was still in that mansion, she always thought that someone was watching her. Of course, she was not really in her right mind to confirm this. After all, she also wanted to kill herself back then.


The point is… even her brother said that someone seemed to be there. What if it was Victor? Of course… this was quite possible. After all, Victor had been working with her grandmother for a long time now.


"Oh… yes. Victor." Madam Luo nodded. "That man had some friends too… they are like ghosts… a group of ghosts."


Lily gulped when she heard her words. What did she mean by a group of ghosts? She immediately started wondering if this woman was only trying to scare her. "Like… friends? You mean… Victor has friends who could walk through walls too?" Lily asked, as a flash of unfathomable expression glinted in her eyes.
