Chapter 722 Suppressing His Presence
Wynter was speechless. Was this considered an unhealthy practice among the family?
She didn’t want to rain on Dalton’s parade, especially since he was already a cash cow being ripped off.
Bending down slightly, she whispered to Wolf, “Do you really want this pampered scion to come with us? He can’t handle a train ride. Are you going to take responsibility for the aftercare?”
Look at Wynter using such professional jargon.
Wolf’s eyes gleamed as he gestured, “If he faints, I’ll carry him. Leave it to me!”
Wynter raised an eyebrow. Before she could respond, Dalton had already stood in front of them. His voice was as pleasant as ever as he said, “What’s wrong? Is the money not enough?”
No wonder Wolf liked taking jobs from him. Such an eager and wealthy client was hard to resist. Even though Wolf was personally wary of Dalton, the latter’s attitude was impeccable.
Wolf’s little face lit up, and he raised his hand to increase the price.
Wynter quickly covered his mouth and glanced at Dalton. “It’s an old–fashioned train. Can you handle it?”
“You’ll be there to take care of me, right?” Dalton chuckled near her ear. “Weren’t you discussing the aftercare?”
So, he had heard everything.
Despite Wynter’s usual shamelessness, openly talking about overcharging in front of the cash cow was a bit embarrassing.
She cleared her throat. “Not entirely.”
Dalton looked at her with his deep eyes. “Do you just not want to take me along? You’ve been busy for so many days. You should spend some time with me.”
As he spoke, his profile looked lonely. Even his tone carried a light sigh
Wynter finally understood why men couldn’t resist women who feigned innocence. Honestly, even she found it hard to resist such a good–looking face when he wasn’t making a fuss.
Dalton’s
gaze shifted to Cody nearby. “Besides, you need my fortune.”
“Can you see me?” Cody hadn’t planned to show himself. But apart from Wynter, Dalton was the first person who could see him without assistance.
Upon hearing that, Dalton raised an eyebrow and then looked at Wynter, as if to confirm his guess that Cody didn’t know he was already deceased.
Wynter gave a slight nod.
Dalton fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist. No wonder Wynter wanted to use her life span to save this spirit.

When Dalton learned about it, he was indeed furious.
Wynter clearly understood the importance of her life span. Each use would deplete it, yet she still used it so recklessly.
When Dalton narrowed his eyes, Wynter was the only one unaffected.
The three spirits shrank into a huddle, not daring to approach, let alone other spirits.
Wynter could forget about asking for directions. After all, no one would dare to come forward.
Wynter seemed to realize this issue, so she placed a copper coin in Dalton’s pocket to temporarily suppress his presence.
Normally, this method would work, but Dalton was not ordinary. The moment the copper coin entered his pocket, it turned black.
Dalton glanced at it and then laughed. He darkened his gaze, and suddenly, the atmosphere around them returned to normal.
Watching from a distance, Leo found the scene strange.
If they hadn’t met Dalton before, they might have thought he was just an ordinary human.
