Chapter 363 I Know A Little

Warner strongly believed that Stefan would not dare lie to him.

If he ever found out that Stefan deceived him, the Grant family would never work with the Jones family again.

Thus, Warner chose to trust that what Stefan said was true.

Still, he looked Alex up and down, doubtful. Alex was so young; he was only in his early twenties. How could he be better than Damian, a master in geomancy?

"You're so powerful, Mr. Jefferson. Even a great master from the Mountain of the Beasts like Damian is no match for you. Please forgive me for my insolence just now."

Warner shook Alex's hand as a sign of respect. Since you're also a geomancer, please come in," he said kindly. "However, Mr. Noah Carter is currently doing a ritual for Ms. Grant. I hope you can wait for him to complete the ritual before intervening."

Though Warner did somewhat believe that Alex was powerful, he could not afford to offend Noah.

Noah Carter was not just anyone; he was a master from the Mountain of the Beasts. At the very least, Warner had to show him some respect.

Alex did not mind one bit and laughed. "Sure."

Stefan let out a sigh of relief. If they could not even enter the place today, they would have no way of helping Maggie.

The two of them followed Warner into the villa.

"Please take a seat. I'll serve some tea," Warner said as he walked away.

If it were only Stefan who was there, Warner definitely would not have gone to get the tea personally.

In his heart, Warner had already believed Alex slightly.

Stefan knew this.

"Mr. Jefferson, your name is indeed reputable. Look at Warner. Though he is merely a butler of the Grant family, he hadn't bothered to show respect to esteemed families in Nebula City," Stefan laughed. "Because even all the families of Nebula City combined would not amount to the Grant family."

Alex glanced over a Stefan and casually replied, "Though the Grant family is powerful, they're just passing by. I can't believe that you, the head of the Jones family, actually tried to suck up to a butler." Stefan was not offended by this but instead laughed awkwardly.

"I had no choice. My family isn't doing the best these days; as long as I can get help from the Grant family, flattering him a little doesn't matter."

Alex did not respond. Not long after, Warner brought over two cups of tea.

"Thank you, Warner," Stefan said politely.

Warner simply nodded as he placed the cups on the coffee table.

"Warner, let's pay a visit to Ms. Grant," Stefan suggested as he took a sip of the tea.

Warner thought about it for a little while before he said, "Sure, but you must not disturb Mr. Carter."

"Will do," Alex said as he nodded.

Warner then brought both of them up to the second floor.

In one of the rooms, a middle-aged man wearing a green Taoist robe walked around in the room, a compass in his hand. He seemed to be chanting. Maggie stood with her back facing the door. Upon hearing them enter, she turned around and asked, "Warner, is there something wrong?"

Warner quickly replied, "Ms. Grant, Stefan has invited Mr. Jefferson to do a purification ritual, so I brought them up here."

Maggie turned to Alex and looked a little surprised. "Mr. Jefferson, why are you here?"

She then glanced at Stefan. Could it be that Mr. Jefferson is the master that Stefan invited?

"Stefan told me that you ran into some problems, so he invited me over to help you out," Alex explained, smiling.

"You... You know how to do purification rituals too?" Maggie asked, her eyes wide in disbelief.

She only knew that Alex was rich and had a lot of knowledge about antiques; he could be considered a master of antiques.

However, who would have guessed that Alex was here to carry out a purification ritual? No matter how she tried to wrap her head around it, it was a little dramatic.

"A little," Alex replied sheepishly, nodding.

Okay, then.

Upon hearing this, Maggie felt a tinge of disappointment.

That's more like it. He should be a master in terms of antiques, whereas in geomancy, he should only have a little knowledge of it as he said.

Since that was so, he was not worth mentioning when compared to the master from the Mountain of the

Beasts.

"Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Carter is in the middle of carrying out a purification ritual for me. I'm afraid I don't have the time to accompany you. I'm so sorry about it." Maggie

Alex before turning to Warner. "Warner, please bring Mr. Jefferson dapologetically a downstairs first. I will be there shortly."
