Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 135: May Morgan Is in Danger

Vincent Vance took the opportunity to get closer to Mason Morgan, carefully staring into his eyes while deliberately lowering his voice to ask, "Mason Morgan, do you know who I am?"

Yet, even so, Mason Morgan kept his head down and didn’t say a word. However, perhaps because he was really bored, he reached out his hand and pulled out a wooden amulet from his clothing, holding it in his hand and playing with it.

This amulet had a faint fragrance, not very strong, but it made people feel refreshed and particularly comfortable.

Vincent Vance snatched Mason Morgan’s amulet from his hand, holding it tightly to examine it. The carving on the amulet was quite ordinary, just a leaf shape, not very big. Previously, he seemed to have seen Mason Morgan wearing it, and at the time he thought, for someone as well-identified as Mason Morgan, why would he be so fond of something with such mediocre craftsmanship? Now it seemed this thing might hold another purpose for him?

Could this item be related to the secret of his disappearance for over ten days without a scratch?

Seeing his amulet taken, Mason Morgan suddenly panicked, reaching out to grab the amulet from Vincent Vance’s hand while muttering, "Give it back, give it back to me, give it back, give it back to me!"

Vincent Vance frowned at him, and with a flash of his body, he quickly stood up from the chair. He put Mason Morgan’s amulet into his pocket while turning around and stepping out.

Behind him, Mason Morgan stood up from the chair as if a precious treasure was snatched away, wanting to rush at Vincent Vance to get the amulet back. However, he was quickly subdued by the policemen who stormed in.

"Give it back to me, give it back to me, help, help—!" Behind him, Mason Morgan struggled with all his might, shouting at Vincent Vance’s retreating figure.

Hearing his almost hysterical screams, Vincent Vance couldn’t help turning back to look at him, only to see him thrashing like mad, hands and feet flailing to grab the jade pendant, causing Vincent Vance to feel even more astonished. Why was this amulet so precious to Mason Morgan? Could it be hiding some secret?

After leaving the police station, Vincent Vance handled the necessary paperwork for Mason Morgan and then found a subordinate to drive him back to Silverwood City.

Although the mystery of Mason Morgan’s disappearance for over ten days was not yet solved, at that moment he was no different from a fool, perhaps incapable of providing any worthwhile information. The best plan was to take him back first and wait until his mind became clear and he recovered his senses.

Driving Mason Morgan back, this time Director Lawson sent two of his most capable police officers along to prevent another attack by the poisonous insects. If they encountered danger on the road, there would be some protection.

After resolving Mason Morgan’s issue, Vincent Vance started looking for that old woman. Director Lawson called a meeting in the afternoon, efficiently deploying some personnel, and under Melanie Morgan’s guidance, led Vincent Vance and his team to the place where May Morgan was held for the ritual.

The mountain road on the way was very bumpy, making driving difficult and naturally slow. By the time they set off, it was already twilight, and by the time they almost arrived, the last light in the sky had faded away.

The mountain road was desolate and silent, with the car rolling over a stone being clearly audible.

Gazing at the dark, mountainous landscape outside, Vincent Vance suddenly turned to Melanie Morgan and questioned her, "Why did you kill your grandmother?"

Melanie Morgan was stunned by Vincent Vance’s question, and after a long moment, she softly said, "I was terrified. I didn’t intend to kill her at first. That day, I went home to get the jade pendant, and as soon as I pushed the door, I saw a bright red light and strange luminance flashing inside the room, which startled me. Once I saw her clearly, I realized my grandmother was performing a spell, and the red dragon was hovering around the jade pendant. I told her to hand over the jade pendant, but she refused no matter what. Later, we argued, and the red dragon charged at me, trying to kill me. I was so frightened that I grabbed a knife and hacked away randomly. But when I came to my senses, I only saw my grandmother lying on the ground, and the red dragon was long gone."

Vincent Vance’s gaze was sharp on Melanie Morgan, unsure which part of her story was true or false, but one thing was certain: May Morgan’s grandmother likely did possess the ability to release the Dragon Insect.

If that’s the case, did the red dragon on the jade pendant really exist?

"Let me ask you again, how did you meet that old woman?"

"I didn’t know her. It was—it was your grandfather who helped find her for me. After I killed my grandmother, I was terrified and called your grandfather, hoping he’d help decide what to do. After hearing my story, he told me the Dragon Insect in the jade pendant was gone and ordered me to restore it. But I had no idea how to handle it. Later, he said he’d find someone to help me, and subsequently, the old woman came with four bodyguards sent by your grandfather."

At this point, fearing Vincent Vance wouldn’t believe her, Melanie Morgan hurriedly continued, "Oh, right, the incident at the hotel was caused by that old woman using her raised poisonous insects. I saw it with my own eyes; it was really terrifying."

"You mean to say, the Dragon Insect on May Morgan was implanted by the old woman on the orders of the old gentleman?" Vincent Vance couldn’t help but ask nervously upon hearing this.

If it was true that grandfather had someone plant the insect in May Morgan, then the fact that she was impregnated by the insect was something he knew all along. And if he further investigated and found out she was already pregnant, wouldn’t that mean...

"No, the old gentleman didn’t intend for that woman to implant the insect in May Morgan beforehand. It seemed the Dragon Insect required May Morgan to be pregnant first before the implantation would be effective. If implanted beforehand, the outcome was uncertain, and because of this, the old gentleman was furious and adamantly demanded that untrustworthy woman be punished."

The need for pregnancy first for efficacy? So, the old gentleman didn’t know May Morgan was already pregnant beforehand?

Vincent Vance suddenly recalled the bizarre car accident that happened last night. Could it be that the old gentleman orchestrated that accident just to find an opportunity to check if May Morgan was pregnant?

If he really intended this? Only a hospital check would be required to know...

Thinking of this, Vincent Vance couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. While the car hadn’t yet arrived, he quickly took out his phone and called Jacob Jennings.

"Jacob Jennings, find more people to guard Zenith Villa, make sure to protect May Morgan!" As soon as the call connected, Vincent Vance urgently instructed Jacob Jennings.

Jacob Jennings’ car was already close to Crestwood. At this time, he couldn’t afford to worry about May Morgan, but he knew if he told Vincent Vance the truth, he would be scolded ferociously, so he had to lie.

"Oh, oh, alright, I’ve already ordered over ten subordinates to guard Zenith Villa," Jacob Jennings mumbled and evaded on the phone.
