Chapter 471 What Are You Holding?

Steward saw Josh was no longer afraid of ghosts, so he immediately got up and walked towards him quickly!

He walked with strides and made his head feel a little chilly.

“Mr. Josh, you’re here!!” Steward glanced at Lisa who was behind him, and brought him out.

Steward was both pleasantly surprised and displeased.

Surprisingly, Josh managed to solve the problem he set up. He was only so young and yet he accomplished such a high achievement. The Mccarthy family was going to rise!

What he was displeased about was when Josh set up the door, he did not ask him for instructions.

Steward was his elder and he would be the one who gives him advice in the future. So, he should discuss it with him beforehand.

Otherwise, it would be too impulsive!

He should not be this impulsive even if Lisa was his biological mother!

Steward looked at Josh again and he seemed much calmer!

He frowned and loosened up his expression, then put aside how he was going to train Josh.

He then pointed at the malignant spirit in front of him and said, “Mr. Josh, these ghosts bully the master when you’re not around. Do you set rules for them? You shouldn’t be too soft- hearted as their master!”

With a look of moral outrage, the steward declared, “Perhaps you were too lenient with those who came before, but no one ever taught you how to do it properly! From this day forward, I will personally instruct you on effective leadership of your subordinates.”

Josh was speechless.

Was he thinking too much?

It’s almost dawn, are you awake?

Josh was about to say that the ghosts were not his subordinates but was stopped by Drake.

Drake said coldly, “According to what you said, what do you want?”

Steward stroked his beard and nodded.

He’s only nine or ten years old and he has such a calm demeanor, he’s easy to be trained!

“Since he’s so disobedient, why don’t we kill him so that it’ll be a good example for others?”

Steward looked sadly at the ghost in the wedding dress. The ghost was pulling his hair earlier and he was afraid that his hair would not grow back after that!

Drake sneered, “So? Do you want us to kill her to make it an example?”

Steward was silent.

The female ghost in the wedding dress said aggrievedly, “I’m not a chicken and I don’t wanna be a chicken either. I’m a ghost,”

The cowardly ghost floated in front of Lilly, patted her head, and agreed in a gentle tone, “We’re not monkeys either. It doesn’t matter to us whether you kill chickens or not,”

Lilly nodded.

Yeah, that’s right!

The elder must have bad eyesight. They’re ghosts, and yet he’s talking about chickens and monkeys.

Steward was even more unhappy when he was interrupted.

He looked at the cowardly ghost and sneered, “Oh yeah? How would we know if it’s useful or not if we don’t kill it?”

Steward held his hands behind his back and looked at the malignant spirits sternly, “It’s an honor for you to be accepted by your master! Otherwise, do you think you’ll still have the chance to work hard?

You would’ve been out of your wits if it were someone else!”

“Since you recognize your master, you should show some respect. How could all of you step over the master’s head and don’t treat your jobs seriously? Where is your discipline?”

The harem spirit, cowardly ghost, unlucky ghost, and foolish ghost were speechless.

Lilly spoke up, “What does discipline mean?”

Steward scolded, “Why are you interrupting me when I’m speaking?”

Initially, everyone was watching what kind of nonsense Steward could talk about like he was a joke.

How dare he scold Lilly!

Everyone’s faces turned grim.

The harem spirit sneered, “I didn’t know you can fart through your mouth! What are you trying to say?

Your mouth is full of garbage,”

The cowardly ghost shook his head, “You don’t even understand what’s going on. This isn’t slavery, Josh is just our friend and we were just helping him out.”

The foolish ghost added sarcastically, “You’re even more foolish than me. Tsk,”

The female ghost in the wedding dress also said, “You died this morning, sir,”

Although she was from an ancient time, she knew that slavery no longer existed in the 21st century.

Josh and Drake glared at him!

Initially, he wanted to ask Steward what happened back then, why he nailed his mother here, and whether there was any possibility of recovering his mother.

He no longer wanted to ask him and might be better off trusting Lilly!

Drake said coldly, “Get him!”

Josh added, “Do whatever you want to him, don’t hold back!”

The ghosts cracked their knuckles and stretched.

Steward retreated!

“You guys… What are you doing?”

Darn it, how could their host fail to make them obey his orders?

That was why he said their master was too soft-hearted!

Ghosts and people can’t be friends!

They should keep the useful ones and destroy the disobedient ones. It would be a disaster if the disobedient ghosts were by their sides, just like right now!

Steward was aware of the truth. If the ghosts were willing to be friends with people, they could be scheming something.

“Mr. Josh!” Steward’s heart trembled, “Tell them to stop! I am the elder of the Mccarthy family, I sacrifice myself for the family, and I have never been half-hearted! It was a misunderstanding this time, but everything I did was for the sake of Mr. Josh!”

“The Mccarthy family is a family of witches and gods for generations. If the Mccarthy family can rise, do you know what will happen?”

“Powerful ministers, dignitaries, and merchants will bow their heads in respect to you, and they are traffickers and pawns ready for your use! You wouldn’t just be the grandson of the Crawford family!”

To put it bluntly, what’s so good about being the grandson of the Crawford family anyway? He’s just gonna inherit the wealth and spend the rest of his life like a useless brat that only knows how to eat, drink and be merry!

However, if he were to be the head of the Mccarthy family, he would be able to be on the top of the food chain. Maybe he would be able to speak with the Ruler of hell when he reaches the underworld and decides on what he wants to reincarnate into in his next life.

It was a shame how no one wanted to listen to him anymore.

Drake looked at the time, “It’s four thirty in the morning. We should head back,”

Josh was startled, “It’s almost dawn, and Grandma usually gets up at six o’clock! It will take us an hour to go back. If we reach the foot of the mountain at 4.50 a.m., then we’ll be home by 5.50 a.m.”

Oh no, I still need to find my uncle!

Can we make it down the mountain in 20 minutes?

If we were to be late, we might bump into Grandma as she wakes up…

“Grandma will kill us!” Josh held Lisa’s hand, “Come on, let’s go!”

Lilly recalled her grandmother’s strict expression and quickly responded, urging, “Josh, hurry! I’ll leave those two to you!”

Drake remained silent and his pace was fast.

Even the dog sensed the urgency, stretching its legs and rushing ahead. After running for a short distance, it noticed that the young masters were lagging. It halted, barking with concern in its place.

All of them disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Steward’s thoughts turned grim as only he, Veronica and four malevolent spirits remained. Among them was a formidable ghost clad in a wedding dress. One of her peculiarities was an inability to traverse the city halfway once the sun emerged. Stranded on the lonely. mountain, Steward decided it was best to retreat to safety and reclaim his soul.

Steward cursed and Veronica’s facial features flew wild in fright. She panicked and screamed, “Drake! Josh! Come back! I’m your aunt, don’t leave me behind!”
