Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Chen...” Ethan walked into Chen Zhao’s room again.
“Can you leave alone?”
“Business for you.”
“What’s the pay?”
“Two hundred dollars.”
“So little?”
“You have nothing at the mont anyway. If you don’t want it, I will reject it.”
“Fine. Give the address.”
“Let drive you there.”
“Wait... Are you going to kill because I discovered your secret?”
Ethan slapped his own forehead. “God. Can you stop talking about this? I already said: it’s not .”
“I think I’ll ask Vincent to send there.”
“Fine. Whatever.” Ethan left in frustration.
“I was joking. You can send there.”
Ethan stopped the car below Morgan Building. “Do you want to wait for you here?”
“Are you sure there aren’t dozens of killers waiting for up there?”
Ethan opened the toolbox beside him, in which there was a gun. “If you keep nagging, I’ll use this gun to blast you head off you bastard... 78th floor, room 7802.”
Chen Zhao went to the 78th floor and found the correct room. Then, he rang the doorbell.
An exquisite lady opened the door. However, there seed to be bloodstain on her body.
“Err hello, I’m a doctor. Ethan sent here. Are you injured?”
“Co in first.”
“Can I bring my pets in?”
The lady lowered her head and glanced at Beelzebub who was beside Chen Zhao. Then, she walked to the side to allow Chen Zhao and Beelzebub enter.
When Chen Zhao entered the room, he saw another person lying on the floor.
Chen Zhao wanted to turn around and leave at once. However, he suddenly realized that the lady was holding a bloodstained fruit knife.
“Help my sister and stop the bleeding. Don’t let her die.”
“Is she your sister?”
“Yes.”
Chen Zhao put down his toolbox.
The lady on the floor was stabbed in her abdon and was gravely injured.
Chen Zhao opened the lady’s eyelids. Her pupils were dilated and her breathing was weak.
Chen Zhao injected a small amount of morphine into the lady’s body. Morphine is a very effective painkiller.
Of course, morphine was a controlled drug. It could only be brought after obtaining a prescription from an official doctor.
Chen Zhao had bought it from Ethan who knew a thod to buy such dicine.
Then, Chen Zhao stitched the wound on the lady. At the mont, he did not yet have a way to buy blood of various blood types.
Ethan was also helping Chen Zhao to look for a way. Although Ethan knew many places to buy prohibited drugs, this was not the case for dical blood. After all, every profession had its own threshold.
Chen Zhao could only use a bit of demonic crystal to stimulate the lady’s vitality. At the mont, she was very weak and could not withstand too much demonic crystal. Nevertheless, demonic crystal was an excellent nutrition provided it was used in the right amount.
This was a use of demonic crystal that Chen Zhao had discovered himself.
However, he would only get paid two hundred dollars this ti.
It was definitely a loss for him based on market price, but the tallic box would produce one year worth of demonic crystal if he saved a person.
“Wipe the sweat.” The older sister gave Chen Zhao a piece of tissue.
Chen Zhao sat down beside the lady. The outdoor scene viewed from this high-rise apartnt was great. Its exterior was covered with floor to ceiling windows through which one could see half of Los Angeles, while its interior was also decorated with modern furniture. However, the living room was filled with broken items, as if there had been a fight.
“Can you tell what happened?” Chen Zhao was unsure whether to call the police.
This woman stabbed her younger sister, after which she asked for a doctor to treat her sister.
Moreover, she did not seem to be nervous.
She did not appear to be in panic at all after hurting soone by accident. Instead, she was very calm.
Chen Zhao was not trying to be a busy body. After all, this was already considered intentional harm. If sothing were to happen to the wounded lady after Chen Zhao left, he would very likely be investigated since he was the only person to have entered the cri scene.
“Do you not recognize ?”
“Err... Are you a celebrity?” Chen Zhao was puzzled.
“Right. I’m only a third-class actor. It’s normal that you don’t know .”
“So what happened between the two of you?”
“Are you willing to hear our story?”
“Yes please.”
“I snatched her character, so we started fighting. In the end, I almost killed her, just like what you’ve seen.”
The lady spoke in a very plain tone. She did not show any self-bla.
“We both ca from Texas, and we both longed for Hollywood. After graduating from high school, we ca to Los Angeles, trying to find an opportunity here. But my luck was clearly better than Shalian: I’ve already acted a few tis. Although they were all insignificant characters, I’m still quite satisfied with my current state. On the other hand, Shalian only managed to get a few characters without any lines. This ti, in our competition for the sa character, we both entered the last stage, which was audition with makeup. However, I was clearly more experienced, so I won. Shalian felt that since I already have so many opportunities, I should give this one to her. However, in Hollywood, even if I give up the chance, she still may not get it. We have no control over the characters we get. We argued and pulled each other’s hair. Then, I grabbed the fruit knife and stabbed her.”
Chen Zhao glanced at Shalian who was on the floor. She had already woken up, but she was crying silently. She did not argue anything or beco noisy.
Their story was not unique. In Los Angeles, there were too many girls trying to beco celebrities, just like them.
Hollywood was never short of beautiful won. They did not graduate from a proper college, so they were only non-professional.
They had neither resources nor any background. They did not even have an agency to seize opportunities for them.
Perhaps they could beco famous in one night if they were lucky, but it was as unlikely as winning a lottery.
Nonetheless, countless girls ca to Los Angeles, to Hollywood one after another just because of such a slim chance.
The older sister was clearly quite lucky. The fact that they could live in such a high-class apartnt indicated that they had a decent inco.
Such an apartnt cost at least ten thousand dollars a month. Even with his recent huge inco, Chen Zhao was reluctant to live in such a place.
Thus, the older sister was definitely earning quite a lot. Small roles were certainly not sufficient for their spending.
“Irwan, sorry,” Shalian finally spoke. “I apologize for my unreasonableness.”
“Your na is Shalian?” Lowering his head, Chen Zhao looked at the lady before her. “Later I’ll give you a prescription. They’re all traditional Chinese dicine. You can buy them at a Chinese dicine store.”
Chen Zhao had neither a dical license nor the right to give a proper prescription.
Therefore, even if he wrote down so Western dicine, they would not be able to purchase them from the pharmacy.
“Done. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Oh right, two hundred dollars please.”
“Do you have ti to stay for a al? Right here,” Irwan invited.
“Okay. I have ti until the next client calls .”
