My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 1162

Henry had been bragging about the psychic grandmaster and praising the grandmaster to themoon and back. He also claimed that the grandmaster could be traced back to the Yard Dynastythousands of years ago. The “grandmaster title had been passed down from generation togeneration, and the grandmaster's powers were boundless. As long as the grandmaster used hispowers, Sophia and her party members would be completely wiped out, all the ghosts and monsterswould have to retreat, and the Ronney Group would quickly return to normal.

However, the employees were very doubtful. Will this really work?

The ritual went smoothly. Using Sophia's hair as a guide, the grandmaster used the Yard Family'sDragon Blood to write a magic spell that would suppress her vitality. In the future, she would neverthreaten the Ronney Group again!

“Bow to the heavens!” The psychic grandmaster's voice rang out like a huge bell. He took the leadand knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of the altar. The Yard twins followed suit, and therest of the employees followed their example. The core staff of the Ronney Group, as well as severalother employees, paid their respects in unison. It was quite a spectacular affair.

"Again!" Everybody bowed again.

“Again!” They bowed again.

The employees that did not understand Cethosian culture seemed to be confused while those thatunderstood were feeling ashamed. All of a sudden, they smelled gunpowder in the air. A firecrackerflew from somewhere and landed on the altar.

Boom! The firecracker blew up on the altar. The animal offerings, the spell, and everything else onthe altar exploded. Pork and beef were scattered everywhere, and the Ronney Group's employeeswere so scared that they fled while screaming.

Shocked, Henry left the rooftop under the protection of his bodyguards. He had wanted to calm thepeople's hearts, but they were now more distraught than before. It seemed as if Sophia and the JNSGroup had reached a point where they could no longer be suppressed by the Dragon Blood. Afterthis fiasco, the entire company was shrouded in greater panic. The Ronney Group was going down!Even the psychic grandmaster could do nothing!

The ritual had failed and the rooftop was a complete mess. Subsequently, the psychic grandmasterwas caught and dragged to Henry for questioning. “Speak! Were you the one who secretlysabotaged the ritual?!”

Somebody had thrown a firecracker at the altar while everybody was kneeling, which led to theensuing commotion. Standing in front of the altar, the grandmaster was in the perfect position todo that!

Looking at Henry's savage expression, the grandmaster began to tremble. “I wouldn't dare, YoungMaster Henry!"

Henry interrupted him furiously, “Who else, if not you?!”

The grandmaster was so scared that he prostrated himself. “I don't know either... It was perfect!Something must have gone wrong! Somebody must have sabotaged the ritual!”

“Believe me; I'm going to throw you off the roof! I'll make sure you die painfully!” Henry explodedviolently. His emotions were out of control, and he was like a wild beast.

The ritual had failed. Contrary to his intentions, it terrified the people in the company even more.Henry dragged the fifty-year-old psychic grandmaster to the window and held him out of thewindow. It was a steep drop to the ground from the glass window. Therefore, the grandmaster wasso scared that he cried and begged. “It really wasn't me!”

Unfortunately, Henry did not believe those words. Gripping the grandmaster's neck tightly, his nailstore into the grandmaster's skin. His eyes were bulging out of his sockets, and he had completelylost control of himself.

“That's enough!” Ryan stopped Henry in the nick of time. “There are surveillance cameras on therooftop. I'm sure we'll catch the culprit!”

Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras on the rooftop had been turned off. As this was supposedto be a superstitious activity, Henry did not want to leave any evidence of the ritual that could makepeople's tongues wag. Therefore, he had turned the surveillance cameras off. I can't believe thatsomebody took advantage of that loophole! He was so furious that his veins were bulging. It felt asif there was a cannibalistic beast inside him that could jump out at any time. Then, he suddenlythought of somebody. “It must be his doing!”

At that moment, Sophia was battling inside the Swordsman Game. She was carrying Callum andCade while fighting monsters. These two are complete noobs! I've never met such noobs before!

All of a sudden, Callum said, “Excuse me, I need to answer this call.”

He paused his game and answered the call. However, he did not turn off his mike. Moreover, he lefthis phone on loudspeaker... as if he deliberately wanted Sophia to listen in on the conversation.Thus, Sophia perked up her ears and listened to the sounds coming from his side. The first thing sheheard was an angry roar; that person had lost all control of his emotions. “You were behind thefirecracker thrown at the altar, right?! You did it on purpose! You're afraid that I might take hold ofthe Cethosian market and affect your standing in the Yard Family! You... are such a schemer!”Sophia could not tell whether it was Henry or Ryan. Aside from the color of their hair, she could notreplace another aspect to differentiate between the two of them. Based on voice alone, they were evenmore indistinguishable. Callum seemed extremely surprised after listening to the rant. Then, helooked worried and confused. “Altar? Firecracker? Henry, what are you talking about?”

Sophia nearly burst into laughter. So, Henry really did set up an altar to cast a curse on me!Moreover, Callum threw a firecracker at the altar?! Not bad; not bad. If it were me, I would havedone the same thing!

Henry sneered and nearly grounded his teeth to dust. “Who else could it be but you?! My belovedelder brother... do you think I wouldn't know about what you did?”

Callum clicked his tongue and pretentiously said, “Although I don't know what happened, it seemslike you did something you shouldn't have done, Henry. How many times have I told you before?Cethos is different from other countries. If you want to integrate yourself into Cethos, you must firstunderstand their laws and regulations—"

“That's enough!” Henry coldly cut off his sentence. “I don't need advice from you. Who do you thinkyou are?!”

In return, Callum pretended to be angry. “Since you won't listen to my advice, then I can only giveyou a stern warning as your elder brother. Back when you vowed to take control of the Cethosianmarket, Cade and I provided you with the resources and money that you wanted. I gave youeverything you wanted! If you still can't produce results, then go back to school and study for a fewmore years.” After that, he rudely hung up and continued playing his game.

On the other side of the phone, Sophia finally spoke up. “Wow; are you not going to confess to yourcrime?”

He continued playing his game as he replied, “What crime? All I did was ask somebody to throw afirecracker.”

Listening to him, she found it rather strange. It seemed like Callum had placed many of his menaround his two younger brothers to act as his eyes and ears. “You're pretty amazing to place spiesamong Henry's men. So, why won't you make a move yourself? Could it be that you can't bear to doit yourself?”

His smile stiffened slightly. A long while passed before he quietly replied, “Mom has taught me thissince I was young: “On the path to greatness, even family can be sacrificed’. What are two youngerbrothers?” The main reason is that we still don't have complete control over the Yard Family rightNow...

Sophia hurriedly interjected, “Shh. Don't say that out loud; Cade is listening!"

However, Callum didn’t seem to mind. “Don’t worry. That's what Mom taught him too.”

“You're weird.” Sophia could not understand their family and the way they did things at all.

After she finished playing her game, she left her study and went back to the bedroom to sleep.When Carmen heard Sophia moving about, she ran out of her room. Hugging a small frog plushie,she pouted cutely and said, “Mommy, I want to sleep with you.”

Sophia happily picked Carmen up and went into the bedroom. Then, she placed Carmen on the bedbetween her and Michael. Michael was sleeping deeply. Even so, he noticed the two of them comingin. Rolling over, he held Carmen in his arms as he slept. Sophia studied her husband and herdaughter, a tender and loving emotion washing over her. On the path to greatness, even family canbe sacrificed? Bah! Some people might be willing to sacrifice their families for the sake of power andwealth. But, I only want my family and the people I love to be safe and sound. I have to forge aheadbravely and fearlessly for the sake of my happiness!
