579 Chapter 579

Eric's words left the White Ghost in a daze for a moment, as she hadn't expected such requests from him. Or to be more exact was due to his first request.

Since Eric made such a request then it meant that he had no idea of the fate of those two guys and that he shouldn't have a connection with what happened the other night.

After all, even that other guy's statement confirmed that Eric had been inside his cell when the whole commotion happened, and according to their investigation the one responsible had been present.

It looked like Eric was as clean as a baby's butt, but she still couldn't help but feel some sort of suspicion toward him.

It was some sort of gut feeling, an instinct that she had developed through the years. Unfortunately, there was nothing to prove that gut feeling of hers.

Not to mention that Eric was actually needed by her Madam to take care and feed the Blood Rose.

She had no idea why they weren't killing him or keeping him detained in order to extract his blood, but she couldn't disobey her Madam's order.

Well, while she didn't know, Eric did. There was an old adage that said, forced fruits will always be sore!

This was exactly the case in this situation, if Eric's blood wasn't pure and self-given then it would certainly cause a drop in the worth and effectivity of the flower.

What surprised Eric the most was that the Long Family, or to be more accurate Madame Yan Meng was willing to show such a precious treasure to the outside world.

Just what exactly was she trying to pull with her actions!? It was certainly not something simple and there must also be a lot of ploys and schemes hidden within.

Still, it didn't matter much to him, whatever ploys and schemes she might have been thinking wouldn't realize, as the Dragon's Blood Flower would end in his hands.

If he didn't have such thoughts and ideas he wouldn't have gone and fed the herb with his own blood, which carried even traces of Dragon Blood.

Of course, he took the time to think about these things as the White Ghost in front of him was busy pondering about his words and his conditions.

"We can fulfill your second and third conditions, but the first one can only be half-filled! We can give that woman to you without counting it as part of the third condition, but the other two guys…"

"Hmph~! You want to defend those two bastards!? There is no way I am going to let them off, they have to pay for not upholding the bet, putting me here, and even trying to beat me!

That is out of the question!"

The more Eric spoke the angrier and agitated he looked. It was impossible for a person who knew that those two were already dead to act like this, right!?

After all, those two bastards had died a horrible death on their own, they had actually been terrified to death.

With this little act from Eric, the White Ghost seemed to have been convinced a little bit, as she revealed the truth,

"It's not that we want to defend and let them off, it's just that they have already died! A quite fearsome death at that, they suffered a heart attack due to their terror!"

"What!? You aren't bullshiting me are you!?"

"No, of course not!"

"Then I want to see their bodies! Fu*ck, it's so unfortunate that they died before I could put my hands on those two bastards!"

The White Ghost was looking at Eric with piercing eyes all this time. It looked like she wanted to determine whether these were Eric's real feelings or just his act.

Yet she didn't find any trace of dubious actions, or moment in his act and could only decide to believe it for the moment.

"Ok, then let's go!"

At the same time, she hadn't completely cleared her doubts about Eric, so she decided to give him one more test, that was to take him deeper into the dungeon and also show him the bodies.

No matter how good Eric was in his acting, he should make a slip-up if he was truly involved in this mess, shouldn't he!?

With these thoughts in mind, she didn't wait for an answer from Eric as she immediately set out on the way.

"Very well, let us go!"

Eric seemed quite disbelieving and unhappy with this situation, as he followed behind the White Ghost, as the other two Ghosts followed behind him.

It didn't seem like he was afraid of being surrounded and followed like that, as they came out of the interrogation room under the shocked eyes of the guards.

They were waiting to see him come out as half-man, or at least beating until he was bleeding from all over his body, while Eric came out as if he was returning from some nice and comfy vacation.

The White Ghost and the other two didn't pay attention to these simple guards, while Eric looked at the guy who gave him the smoke earlier, and said,

"Bro you didn't believe me when I told you I could read my stars! What about now!?"

The guard didn't know what to think or say at this moment, he was just too shocked by this situation.

Nobody could see the faces of the White Ghost and the other 2, but she was clearly a bit startled hearing those words from Eric.

Trying to act as calm and relaxed as she could, she couldn't help but ask Eric in a surprised and dubious voice,

"You can read the stars!?"

For people like her, who had already surpassed the normal, things like reading the stars, jumping above 5 meters, or even flying weren't just bogus anymore.

There were famous Feng Shui Masters who were able to read the signs on Earth and choose the suitable directions, so of course, there had to be Masters who were able to properly read the stars as well.

It was just that Masters who could read the stars well were extremely rare on Earth, so she couldn't help but be a bit dubious of this situation.

"I can and I can't at the same time!"

"What do you mean by that!?"

"It depends on my state of mind and mood! Whenever I am in a good mood, I will be able to use a secret method passed to me by my Ancestors to see some visions and make some predictions.

Otherwise, it will be just like playing the pipe to a mute!"

"Hahahah~! Are you shitting me!?"

"Why would I need to do that!? What would I gain from lying or shitting to you right now!? I would just make my own situation worse, wouldn't I!?

And I don't want to have that!"

"You are right, but didn't you say that you had seen your stars and that nothing would happen to you today!?"

"Right, so you either won't believe me and treat me like a useful lunatic or would start testing me on my ability!

Of course, for the tests to happen, I need to be happy and in a good mood. I don't need to state what's the best way for me to raise my mood and morale, do I!?"

Eric had managed to confuse even this White Ghost woman, who had no idea of what to make of him any longer.

He was a truly complicated being, that seemed to confuse her the more she stood by his side. At the same time though she truly wanted to test his skills.

Could it be that he truly knew how to read the stars!?

As the White Ghost woman was thinking like that, they had reached their location. Inside this dark and large room was actually created a temporary morgue, with those two guys' bodies in front.

Upon seeing their bodies, and seeing that they were truly dead, Eric approached the two of them and gave them a kick each, while cursing,

"Damned bastards! You died before you fell into my hands, you truly have a stroke of great luck!"

White Ghost and the other two looked at Eric with some weird expressions, yet none of them could actually tell that Eric's acting was just that, acting!

After all, his sentiments and actions were extremely original, as Eric truly regretted the fact that these two idiots had died so easily.

He would most certainly wish to torture them quite a bit before they died so that his anger towards them disappeared quicker and was purified out of his heart.

Not that he had any regrets at this moment, because he had actually managed to save all these people from their suffering.

Even if they didn't provide him with anything of value, at least his heart was much lighter at this moment.

"I didn't lie to you, did I!?"

"Yes you didn't lie to me, but the anger inside me won't go down easily! I need that bi*tch no matter what, I want to vent my anger and rage upon her.

I can't let this issue bother and burden my heart! You understand what I mean, right!?"

"Yes, of course! I can promise that to you, she will be waiting for you in your room once we return!"

"Very well, then thank you in advance beautiful! I will go to feed the flower once I have a nice shower and some good food.

After all, I need to recover the losses otherwise, I will die before my time, and I don't want that to happen!"

"But of course!"

While the White Ghost said that, another line of thought crossed her mind…
