"Err …" Murphy looked up and down his naked body and then shook his head. "No."
"So I can't let you go."
"Why? Didn't you promise me? If I tell you, you'll let me go. "
"But how do I know you're telling the truth? How do I know you're not lying to me?"
"I really didn't lie to you."
"Then show me your evidence."
"I don't have any."
Chen Zhao's face was filled with helplessness. "See, you can't show me any evidence and you've also discovered my family's secret. What do you think I should do?"
"Silencing … no, no, not silencing."
"See, you also know that I should silence you, so you can't blame me."
Cerberus and Little Nine closed in on Murphy. Suddenly, Murphy leaped up and bounced up.
Chen Zhao was stunned. Then, he saw Murphy stick to the wall like a gecko.
Murphy wanted to run upstairs, but Chen Zhao blocked the staircase. As soon as Murphy approached, Chen Zhao lifted a foot.
Thud —
Murphy was kicked away and slammed into the wall. He clutched his stomach and couldn't stand up.
Chen Zhao went up and grabbed Murphy's neck. He saw that Murphy had two fangs in his mouth, just like a vampire's.
"You're a vampire?"
"Let me go. I won't do it again. I won't do it again … Please let me go." Murphy burst into tears.
"Answer my question. You're a vampire?"
Murphy didn't speak. Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes. "You answered my question so easily just now, but now you don't. You lied to me, right?"
"No, I'm telling the truth. My dad said that I can't admit that I'm a vampire in front of outsiders."
"Are you Carlo's subordinate?"
"No."
"Then why are you working for him?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.
"He said that if I steal that painting here, he'll let me join his team."
"What's your name?"
"Murphy."
Chen Zhao realized that this guy either answered all his questions or had already thought of an answer.
Or maybe he was just a one-track mind.
However, if this guy was really a vampire, then were all vampires so stupid?
No, it should be said that he was honest.
Chen Zhao realized that he actually had a good impression of this guy.
However, Chen Zhao wasn't sure if he was faking it.
"Why did you join Professor Carlo's team?"
"Make money."
"Are you short of money?"
"Yes."
"Will you turn into a bat?"
Murphy looked at Chen Zhao with a strange expression, just like how Chen Zhao had looked at Murphy earlier.
Was this guy retarded?
"Fine, pretend I didn't ask anything." Chen Zhao shook his head. "Then tell me, how should I deal with you?"
"Let me go."
"But what if you reveal my secret here?"
"I won't tell anyone."
"If someone offered you a hundred thousand dollars, would you say yes?"
Murphy immediately hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head. "No."
"What if it's a million dollars?"
Murphy was even more conflicted. He felt that Chen Zhao was making things difficult for him.
After a long time, Murphy finally nodded. "Yes."
"So you see, all the more I can't let you go."
"Then are you going to kill me?"
Chen Zhao thought about it. The people he'd killed in the past were all extremely evil.
However, Murphy looked like it was the first time he'd seen the outside world.
He wasn't stupid. He was just immature.
"If Carlo hires you, how much will he pay you?"
"I don't know. My dad said it's definitely more than a regular job."
"Then do you know how much a regular job pays?"
"My dad works at a gas station. His monthly salary is three thousand dollars."
"Your dad's a vampire too, right?"
"No, he's a regular person. I got my mom's blood."
"Then do you drink human blood?"
"No, I only drink animal blood … Wait, I'm not a vampire. I've never admitted that I'm a vampire."
"Yes, yes, I know."
Chen Zhao patted Murphy. "Then I'll hire you. I'll pay you ten thousand dollars a month. Do you accept?"
Murphy was tempted. Ten thousand dollars a month was such a high salary. It was even higher than his dad's.
"Patrol around my house," Chen Zhao said. "For example, tell me if anyone comes from some unknown corner, or you can just capture them."
"So I have to live here?"
"No, go rent a house in town."
How could Chen Zhao let Murphy live in his house? Even if Murphy wasn't a vampire, Chen Zhao wouldn't accept another man living in his house, let alone a vampire.
Murphy was seriously considering this. After a long time, he said, "I want you to pay for the rent."
"Deal." Chen Zhao smiled. "But you have to sign a contract with me."
"What kind of contract?"
"You can think of it as a contract, but the rules are stricter."
"Oh, no problem."
Chen Zhao took out a sheepskin contract and handed it to Murphy. Murphy read the terms seriously.
"Do you have any objections?"
"Can I show my dad?"
"No," Chen Zhao refused directly.
"I don't understand some parts."
"What parts?"
"It's here. If I say any secrets about you, I'll be burned by Hellfire. What's Hellfire? What else can be said and what can't be said? "
"For example, Cerberus and Hydra. These are all things that you can't say. Anyway, you are not allowed to reveal any supernatural things that you see here."
"I can't say anything to anyone?"
"Yes, anyone!"
"Okay, I just need to sign my name, right?"
"No, you just need to press your fingerprint."
The moment Murphy pressed his palm, the sheepskin contract instantly ignited. Then, the sheepskin contract's benefits integrated into Murphy's body, and a six-pointed star pattern appeared on Murphy's arm.
"Can I get a month's salary first?" Murphy looked at Chen Zhao carefully.
"What are you going to do?"
"Err … I …" Murphy stuttered for a long time but couldn't finish his sentence.
"What exactly are you going to do?"
"I'm going to tell my dad that I've earned money."
"Come find me tomorrow. Also, don't appear in front of my girlfriend, at any time."
"Err … Can I leave now?"
"Go." Chen Zhao waved his hand.
Murphy crawled out of the hole again. Chen Zhao called Carol.
