I Have A City In An Alternate World

1865 Contract (1)

Corrosive bone had always aspired to become a true demon, and before tonight, this thought had never wavered.

In the end, when he saw Xiao Yu and her father, he suddenly realized that he actually did not like to see this scene.

This made rotten bones panic. Could it be that he was not suitable to become a demon? otherwise, why would he be so soft-hearted and awkward?

Shi Gu’s heart was filled with confusion. He felt a little uneasy about his own actions and blamed himself for his weak willpower.

“It’s almost time, we still have important matters to attend to.”

It was impossible for Tang Zhen to waste all his time here. He had to continue to complete the next matter after Xiao Yu and her father met.

It was obviously impossible for a pauper like him to hand over the money to Xiao Yu’s father.

To Tang Zhen, there were many things in his hands that were more valuable than money. It was just that it was not appropriate to take them out.

With a light wave of his hand, a pile of dazzling things appeared on the table. When everyone took a closer look, they realized that they were all gold bars that weighed half a Jin. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelFɪre.net

In total, it weighed 20 to 30 catties. For the people living here, it was definitely a huge fortune.

Tang Zhen turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman beside him. He gently snapped his fingers and she immediately regained her freedom.

Although she could move her body, the middle-aged woman’s mouth was still sealed, so she couldn’t scream in fear.

“Xiao Yu is dead, but his father still needs someone to take care of him. That’s why we’re here.

Since you’re her neighbor and you’re familiar with her, I’ll let you take charge of this.

I’ll give all this gold to you. After you dispose of it, you can exchange it for a large sum of money. It’s enough for you to take care of her father.

If you do as I ask, you will naturally benefit. If you dare to have any crooked thoughts, you will know the consequences even if I don’t say it.

Do you remember what I just said?”

The middle-aged woman quickly nodded, not daring to hesitate.

At this moment, she had already treated Tang Zhen and the others as devil-like existences in her heart. How would she dare to disobey her orders?

However, there was still a trace of doubt in her heart. The demon in front of her seemed to be a little different from the legends. He would actually take the initiative to send money to take care of the patient.

Could it be that they were the ones who harmed Xiao Yu, and they were doing this to make up for their losses?

When he thought about the various legends about the evil demons, he felt a sense of regret. The middle-aged woman became hesitant again. She thought of agreeing for the time being to deal with the immediate crisis.

After Tang Zhen and the others left, he would go and find the Demon Hunters to solve this matter. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep and eat in peace.

The middle-aged woman’s plan was not bad. However, how could her little thoughts be hidden from Tang Zhen?

Tang Zhen gently shook his head. He raised his hand and took out a contract, preparing to add another layer of insurance.

“I’ll only believe that you’ll keep your promise after we sign this contract and won’t go looking for the Demon Hunters after we leave.

If you don’t sign it, not only will you be unable to leave, but your family will also be implicated.”

The threat in Tang Zhen’s words was already so obvious. The middle-aged woman immediately revealed a dejected expression. Her family was her true lifeline.

The original thoughts in her heart immediately disappeared. She did not dare to act rashly, in case the other party really endangered her marriage.

No matter how dangerous the situation was, he only needed to bear it himself.

The middle-aged woman trembled as she picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract according to Tang Zhen’s request.

After she signed her name, the contract turned into ashes and disappeared. A strange pattern appeared on the back of the middle-aged woman’s hand.

The pattern was the head of a demon. Its eyes were as red as blood, and it was staring at the woman with a strange smile.

Under the middle-aged woman’s terrified gaze, the pattern gradually faded and seeped into her skin.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman couldn’t help but shed tears and began to worry about her future.

Having made a deal with the devil, he had to live in fear, and trouble might come to him at any time.

Xiao Yu, who was at the side, watched silently. This matter concerned her father’s life and safety. Therefore, she would definitely not stop Tang Zhen’s actions.

“The matter has been resolved. Now, come with me. If you stay here, you will only bring trouble to your father.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu stood up from the ground with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. However, she still left her father decisively.

Just like what Tang Zhen had said, she and her father were already separated by yin and yang. They belonged to two completely different worlds.

If they stayed here any longer, there was a chance that something would go wrong and attract the Demon Hunters.

Those demon hunters were arrogant and despotic, never putting the lives of ordinary people in their eyes. If they found this place, who knew how they would deal with his father?

The middle-aged woman heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Tang Zhen and Shi Gu walk out of the house. Then, she softly fell to the ground.

It seemed that the temperature in the house had started to warm up after the demon left.

The middle-aged woman’s body kept trembling as if she had not recovered from the shock. She did not even have the strength to stand up.

However, when her gaze fell on the large pile of gold on the table, her originally nervous expression gradually relaxed, and then revealed a trace of joy.

A glimmer of hope gradually appeared in his eyes of despair.

He had thought that he was unlucky to have run into the legendary evil demon, and even thought of asking the Demon Hunters for help.

But now, she didn’t think so.

Whether it was the strange contract they had just signed or the pile of gold on the table, it was enough to make the middle-aged woman give up on the idea.

She had a son, and the life of an orphan and a widow was just as difficult. Otherwise, she would not be living in such a place.

Perhaps they were in the same boat, so the two families were very close. Otherwise, tonight’s incident wouldn’t have happened.

Although this sum of money was used to take care of Xiao Yu’s father, but he had worked hard, so it should be fine to use a little, right?

Thinking of her son who was in urgent need of school fees, the middle-aged woman secretly made up her mind.

...

Even if she would be punished for doing so, as long as her son could complete his studies, she was willing to suffer any pain.

Her life was already in such dire straits, and her son was her only hope. For her son, the middle-aged woman was willing to do anything.

As she thought about it, she felt a lot more relaxed and her body began to regain strength.

She turned to look at Xiao Yu’s father, who had a blank look in his eyes. The middle-aged woman wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and hid the gold.

Then, she fetched a basin of warm water and washed Xiao Yu’s father’s body. Her movements were meticulous and serious.

……

After leaving the ghost lady Xiao Yu’s house, Tang Zhen and the rest got into the car again. However, they didn’t head to the demon nest. Instead, they went straight to the Demon Hunter headquarters.

As a demonic servant without any background, rotten bones had no right to come into contact with the city’s demonic lair. He was not even allowed to get close.

If they wanted to find The Fiend nest through him, they would undoubtedly need to go through a lot of trouble and waste too much time.

Therefore, Tang Zhen decided to use another method, which was to become a demon Hunter. He would wear an official legal identity and brazenly hunt evil demons.

This way, not only could he reduce the obstacles in his operation and avoid being disturbed by the Demon Hunters, but he could also get access to the official resources of the Demon Hunters and obtain some information he wanted.

...

An evil demon that wasn’t pure wanted to become a demon Hunter. This was a new thing.
