I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 206

Oliver only slept briefly before being woken up by Wayne and told that Yancy’s parents were looking for him.

Oliver nodded to Wayne as an indication for him to let Frederick and Lillian in.

Frederick and Lillian looked somewhat awkward when they entered, unlike Oliver, who stared at them coldly without uttering a word.

Frederick cleared his throat twice before saying, “Oliver, here’s what happened. Yancy’s granny has a neighbor whose grandson has also had supernatural experiences. They sought help from a pretty powerful priest, whom Yancy’s granny called a few days ago but was told he was not around. However, she received a call today saying that he had returned. We discussed among ourselves and thought of asking the priest to take a look at Yancy since we were at our wit’s end. That’s why we came to seek your counsel on this matter…”

Oliver’s indifferent expression softened slightly, and he pondered momentarily before replying, “I have no qualms about that. But I’m setting my foot down and will only pay up if his means are effective. Otherwise, don’t expect a single cent from me for a charlatan, and he’d better pack his bags and leave.”

Frederick nodded unhesitantly. “All right. I’ll ask Yancy’s granny to make the call. Perhaps I should meet the priest beforehand…”

“Good idea.”

Oliver agreed to his suggestion. While Frederick was characteristically

cold-blooded, he had mingled with riff-raffs from a young age and rarely allowed others to take advantage of him. As such, he would likely have a good eye when judging others.

Frederick told Melinda to contact the priest. They decided on a meeting location, and Frederick was soon on his way alone.

Oliver could not fall asleep after waking up and whipped out his phone to browse the internet. Frederick returned after slightly more than an hour.

He reported to Oliver in a strange tone upon reaching the hotel, “Oliver, I just met the priest who goes by the name Howard Xanthos. I can’t explain why, but I feel like he can see through my heart. It’s so mind-blowing!”

Oliver’s face remained neutral as he quirked his lips. “Did you bring him back here?”

“No.” Frederick immediately shook his head. “The priest never mentioned anything about coming over, and neither did I. Yet, he asked me to hand you a little token on his behalf.”

“A little token?” Oliver was intrigued. “Wouldn’t it make more sense if it was intended for Yancy?” he mused.
