"Fanny, let's go," Kyla tried to persuade her.
"You don't believe me, right?"
"I believe you, I believe you, okay?"
"You clearly don't believe me." Fanny stomped her feet in anger.
Kyla gave Chen Zhao an apologetic look and chased after Fanny.
Chen Zhao rubbed his nose, feeling helpless.
On the way back, Fanny didn't say anything.
"Okay, don't be angry. I'll give you the latest Baroness handbag."
"No, Kyla, I'm very disappointed in you. Do you think I'm crazy?"
"No, I believe you."
"Your words are so perfunctory. Do you still believe me when I say that it's so unimaginable?"
"Actually, on the first night I stayed at Mr. Chen's house, I also saw some supernatural creatures."
Fanny suddenly looked at Kyla. "Are you serious?"
"I'm not sure if I really saw them. I even suspected that I was dreaming," Kyla said. Kayla said, "I think I saw a Goblin. Okay, you must think I'm crazy, but I think I saw one."
After hearing Kyla's words, Fanny fell into silence. After a while, she said, "Last night, I forgot the reason. When I went downstairs, I saw a really, really big creature running through the front yard. It was really big, many times bigger than Princess."
"Then?"
"Then I went out to look for that creature. Then I went to the karst cave. In the karst cave, I saw a snake, a very big snake."
"How big?"
"Maybe its neck was 40 centimeters in diameter and its head was as big as my body."
"It didn't attack you?"
"No, it seemed very friendly … At least I think so," Fanny said.
Fanny said, "It licked my palm. When I woke up this morning, I felt that my palm was sticky."
Kyla reached out to hold Fanny's palm. It did feel sticky.
…
"Boss." Murphy ran to Chen Zhao.
"Why are you here? You don't need to patrol during the day. Go do whatever you want. "
"Boss, I'm here to ask for a day off." Murphy looked at Chen Zhao with a troubled expression.
Chen Zhao raised an eyebrow. What did the boss dislike the most?
Chen Zhao hoped that the employee could stay at his post even after working hours.
As for what he said just now, it was completely out of courtesy.
"What for?"
Murphy lowered his head, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"What? You can't tell me? "
"No, no … It's … It's Professor Carlo … He …"
Murphy was still very afraid of Chen Zhao. No, it was fear.
Others might not know how terrifying Chen Zhao was, but he did.
The two legendary creatures hiding in the basement were enough to make him fearful.
There were also dozens of people who had disappeared here some time ago.
He was even more clear about it.
One move from Chen Zhao could scare him like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.
"He asked you to help him?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Yes," Murphy answered carefully.
"Don't tell me you're taking my salary here to earn extra money from him?"
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes at Murphy.
"No, no, really. It's my dad. My dad owes Professor Carlo a favor."
His son had to pay his father's debts.
Chen Zhao closed his eyes and lay on the recliner.
Murphy stood beside him silently, waiting for Chen Zhao's reply.
Chen Zhao didn't like Carlo. This was subjective.
From his impression, Carlo and Pierce South were the same type of people.
Of course, their methods might not be that intense.
But they were both the type that wanted quick success.
Why had Carlo asked Murphy to come?
To steal a painting to brag about Chen Zhao.
Carlo's actions were actually similar to Pierce South's.
They both wanted to use unconventional methods to force Chen Zhao.
Of course, Chen Zhao wouldn't let any of them do that.
He wasn't related to Carlo at all. Why would he help him?
Just because they'd met once?
Just because they'd gone through life and death together that night?
It wasn't Carlo who'd gone through life and death together that day. It was Tyler.
Carlo had never stopped to help him that night.
Moreover, even for Tyler, Chen Zhao wouldn't help him with everything.
Even though it was a favor, it wasn't worth much.
Tyler couldn't just say, "Follow me to die," and then Chen Zhao would run over, right?
How terrifying was the depths of the mountain?
Even Chen Zhao didn't know. Just two Crypt Demons had wiped out the entire expedition team.
There would definitely be more Crypt Demons in the depths. Chen Zhao could deal with one, two, or three, but what about more?
Chen Zhao didn't think that he was tough.
Unless it was someone close to him who was in danger.
If it was Fali, he'd go.
If it was Ethan, he'd go too.
If it was Sienna, he'd go too.
These were true intimate friendships.
If it was someone else, Chen Zhao would consider it too.
But he definitely wouldn't go die in the deep mountains for just one night of friendship.
As for Murphy, Chen Zhao didn't want him to go.
Murphy was still like a kid, even though he was already in his twenties.
However, they were just like the teenagers who had just left their village to work in China.
Chen Zhao really didn't want Murphy to die.
Even Chen Zhao wasn't confident that he'd come out alive.
Murphy would go there? He'd probably lose his life.
"Give me your father's number," Chen Zhao said. "I need to ask him before I can answer."
"Huh? You want to call my dad? "
"What? You don't want to? "
"Okay … okay …"
Chen Zhao took Murphy's phone. "Go walk around first. I'll call you later."
After Murphy left, Chen Zhao found Murphy's father's number.
"Hello."
"Who are you? You're not Murphy. Why do you have his phone? "
"I'm Murphy's boss," Chen Zhao answered.
"Oh, you're the one who hired him?"
"I heard from Murphy that it was you who asked Murphy to help Carol?"
"Yes, did Murphy tell you?"
"Do you hate this son of yours?"
"Why do you think so? I love him more than anything. "
"Then do you know how dangerous the place Carol is going to this time?"
"…"
"I happened to be at the scene that day. His team and I met at the edge of the Adventure Land, and then we jumped onto two monsters. These two monsters killed his team and forced them to flee. And that was only two monsters. If we continued to go deeper, we would encounter more of these monsters. Based on my understanding, it was almost impossible for Murphy to survive."
"But … Carol said that he'll protect Murphy."
