“You heard? From whom? Probably no one even goes in there, or that no one even cos out alive.”
Chen Zhao wasn’t a kid. He wouldn’t believe everything people said, let alone such unreliable words. dicine of immortality?
Where did that co from?
“This...uh...” Carlo had thought that Chen Zhao would at least be a bit interested.
But Chen Zhao didn’t believe him at all. His tone was filled with suspicion.
“Alright, Chen,” Carlo said. “I just really wish you’d consider my words seriously.”
He knew that he couldn’t force anything. He could only leave.
At least, he didn’t have anything that could tempt Chen Zhao.
When the three returned to their hotel, soone knocked on their door.
“Tyler, open the door.”
Tyler did so. He opened the door to see a thin man with a hoodie.
“Who are you looking for?” Tyler asked.
“Professor Carlo.”
“Professor, do you know the man who’s looking for you?”
Carlo peered outside the door. “Let him in.”
The man walked into the room and stood before Carlo.
“Syla recomnded .”
Carlo looked at the hooded man. Thinking for a bit, he asked, “What skills do you have?”
“I can kill you all.”
In an instant, Fannity and Tyler pointed their guns at him at the sa ti.
“Put it down. Put the guns down.” Carlo waved his hand. “Don’t say that, even if you have the ability. They may beco your partners in the future. Of course, you have to display your skills first.”
“How do you want to display it?”
“Here,” Carlo said. “If you can go to the house I point out and get a painting, I’ll accept you into the team.”
“Sure. Where’s the painting?”
“In a house at the bank of Mirror Lank in Mountain Town. It’s a Chinese painting.”
1“Okay, I’ll bring the painting here at this ti tomorrow.”
“Oh, I don’t know your na yet.”
“Murphy,” the man said without looking back.
“Then, good luck, Murphy.”
Tyler closed the door. “Professor,” he said aningfully. “You’re sending him to die. Chen can’t be offended.”
“He’s from a special family. They’re all very strong, like superhumans. If he wants to prove his value, he has to do so superhuman things.”
“Are you sure this won’t anger Chen?”
“Fine, I’ll return the painting after I get it.”
...
After Murphy left, he took out his phone. “Dad, I already t with Professor Carlo, but your trick didn’t seem to work. He wants to steal a painting from soone’s ho. They’ll only accept after I get this painting.”
“Murphy, did you not act cold enough?”
“No, I was already cold. I even watched Hitman: Agent 47 three tis for this.”
“Did you change into the suit that the main character wears?”
“I don’t have money. I wore the hoodie I bought last year.”
“That’s the problem.”
“What do I do now?”
“Follow Professor Carlo’s requests and steal that painting.”
“I haven’t stolen before.”
“There’s a first for everything.”
“But I don’t want to do it.”
“Then do you want to make money?”
“Yes,” Murphy replied instinctively.
“You can return the painting’s money after you get rich.”
“Fine...But...”
“What else do you need?”
“I don’t have money for a taxi.”
...
Murphy ca to the other side of Mirror Lake. Looking at the extravagant house across from him, his eyes were filled with envy.
“So rich,” he mumbled. “I want to make a lot of money and live in a house like this too.”
He loosened his muscles. “Okay, swim over there. I should get to the other end by nightti.”
He started taking off his clothes and went into the water.
“The water here is so cold.”
He was pretty fast at swimming. The sky gradually darkened.
When he got to land, he saw a man and a pretty woman. They were grilling barbecue and drinking in the yard.
“So jealous of rich people’s lives.” Murphy’s face was filled with envy. “I want to beco a rich man too. I want to be as successful as that man.”
Suddenly, sothing seed to tug on Murphy’s foot.
“Is it a big fish?” Murphy didn’t take it seriously. But soon, the thing wrapped around Murphy’s legs and pulled him down.
“Hel...blub, blub...Help...”
...
Fali looked at the lake. She seed to see sothing splashing in the water, but it was too dark. She couldn’t see clearly. “Chen, is there soone in the water?”
“No, you saw incorrectly,” Chen Zhao said. “It’s a big fish. Are you full?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”
Chen Zhao snapped his fingers. Three or four inferior demons flew out and fought each other to clean up the yard.
“The breeze is a bit cold. Let’s go sit inside.”
“Yeah.”
Chen Zhao looked back at the lake. He already knew when the person entered the water.
As for who it was, it wasn’t important.
What was important was that the man had broken into his territory. He must not have good intentions.
Whether Chen Zhao would kill or spare him, he’d punish the man first.
Chen Zhao waited until Fali fell asleep before going to the second basent.
He saw a thin man with only his underwear, curled up in the corner, hugging himself.
The three-headed dog and Little Nine were on either side of him. “Did you two strip him?” Chen Zhao asked.
They shook their heads, expressing that it had nothing to do with him.
“Whatever. Whether he’s a good guy or not, I’m sure he’s a pervert. Eat him.”
“Huh?” Murphy yelled in horror. “Aren’t you going to interrogate ? Like who sent or why I ca?”
“No need. I can see you won’t tell and it’s getting late. I need to sleep.”
“No, you can ask. You can pry open my mouth easily.”
“Really?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Okay, then tell .”
“If I tell you, will you let go?”
“If I say yes, will you trust ?”
“Yes,” Murphy answered earnestly.
“Yeah, I’ll let you go.” Chen Zhao nodded. “So, tell who sent you and for what.”
“Professor Carlo sent . He wants to help him steal a Chinese painting in your house.”
“Professor Carlo? You’re sent by Professor Carlo?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Do you have proof?”
