Chapter 88 Horror-Themed Bar

 

Amber asked Jonathan, “What’s going on?” Her own flashlight illuminated the female ghost before them, but she remained admirably calm.

 

The female ghost shot them a hostile and spiteful glare that could send chills up one’s spine. Amber would have been petrified had she not become emotionally numbed toward paranormal occurrences. Jonathan replied, “Let’s talk inside.” He led the way deeper into the place, even greeting the ghost with a friendly wave.

Surprisingly, the ghost returned his gesture.

The three of them entered the warehouse.

 

Then, the female ghost peeled off the intricate mask she had been wearing, revealing her true identity.

 

“Polly?” Amber recognized the famous businesswoman. Oh my goodness! The ghost was Polly all along! I was just wondering why she didn’t show up today.

Polly smiled sheepishly and explained, “That rascal Jonathan forced me to help out.”

 

Amber returned her smile. “Thank God you’re here today, Polly. Someone might’ve seen through our plan if not for your appearance. How embarrassing that would be!” She paused before addressing Jonathan, “Had you been expecting trouble?”

“I’m not Gabriel, and I can hardly see into the future. I just thought it was prudent to prepare for the worst,” Jonathan replied.

Amber’s esteem for Jonathan grew. He may look unreliable, but he’s a meticulous planner.

 

Afterward, Jonathan said to Polly, “We can’t go out like this, Polly. We need to make this place look like it’s been through massive destruction. Amber, you should fire a few shots. If the media asks, we’ll say that this place isn’t haunted. The magnetic field around here has been quite chaotic, and it’s been causing hallucinations. As for the mess, we’ll leave it up to the public’s speculation. In any case, we’ve cracked the mystery here.”

Polly acknowledged his instructions with a nod. She grinned and replied, “You never know, but your horror-themed bar may well become the most famous bar in the country. You’ll be raking in a lot of money! I guess I made the right decision to invest in this place.”

Chuckling, Jonathan responded, “That’s a given! Would I introduce my investors to losing ventures?”

After the three of them finalized their game plan, Jonathan and Polly began to wreck the place.

They stomped their feet on the ground, producing rifts in the ground as tall as a human. Cracks snaked across the ground at an alarming rate.

Meanwhile, Amber fired her gun haphazardly in all directions, using up all her bullets.

The commotion convinced the reporters camped outside the bar that an intense battle was happening inside the establishment.

The gun shots did not seem to end. Reporters and police officers surrounding the bar broke out in a cold sweat.
