Cao Kun was telling the truth, but Charlize Theron's heart jumped: "Master Cao Kun, does this mean that I have been marked?"
Will we be targeted by other evil spirits in the future?
Cao Kun pondered for a moment: "I cannot answer that question right now."
What I can tell you is that the evil spirit that targeted you last time was named Annabelle, and she belonged to a cult.
That cult contains even more and stronger evil spirits.
Chariz-Theron trembled, his face turned pale, and his voice was trembling with tears: "Master Cao Kun, what should I do?"
Should I continue living in the church?
Cao Kun: "There's no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days."
"Can you really live in a church your whole life?"
Chariz Theron said with a bitter face, "But what else can we do?"
Cao Kun: "There's no better way. You can't just stop working, can you?"
Unless you join a convent and become a nun.
Charlize Theron quickly shook her head: "I have no interest in being a nun."
Cao Kun: "Then we can only take it one step at a time. If you encounter any bad things, just call me."
Charlize Theron realized that this was the only way, and she quickly said, "Thank you, Master Cao Kun."
Cao Kun: "You're welcome, but you have to pay."
Charlize Theron paused, then said, "Of course, that's only fair. How much do you want?"
Cao Kun: "You can pay per visit, or you can pay for a year."
Charlize Theron: "Specifically?"
Cao Kun thought for a moment and said, "If you feel something bad is going to happen, call me."
I'm here. If it turns out to be a false alarm, I'll only charge an appearance fee of $100,000 per appearance.
If there really is an evil spirit, the price will be adjusted according to its strength, starting at $1 million.
If it's a yearly subscription, then... well... let's say it's $200,000 a month, which is $2.4 million a year.
Unlimited visits are possible.
I think this is a very reasonable price.
Charlize Theron barely hesitated: "I'll take the yearly subscription."
"Are you sure?" Cao Kun asked. "Maybe you won't even see it once a year, then the 2.4 million will have been wasted."
Even if you only encounter it once or twice a year, it only costs one or two hundred thousand US dollars.
“No,” Charlize Theron insisted, “I choose the annual subscription.”
This is what it means to pay money for peace of mind.
$2.4 million is a huge sum of money for Charlize Theron.
However, she values her life more than anything else.
Moreover, given her current status, she can still afford $2.4 million a year.
Since that's the case, Cao Kun stopped trying to persuade him: "There are still more than five months left this year. Let's say five months. You can pay me 1 million."
Starting January 1st of next year, it will be calculated on a yearly basis.
“Okay.” Charlize Theron: “But I’ll pay you $500,000 first, and the remaining $500,000 will be given to you at the end of the year.”
The same applies next year: 800,000 will be paid at the beginning of the year, another 800,000 in the middle of the year, and the remaining 800,000 will be settled at the end of the year.
“That makes perfect sense.” Cao Kun shook hands with Chariz Theron, and the matter was settled.
Cao Kun then looked around Charlize Theron's room: "Why aren't there any dolls?"
Charlize Theron, who was writing a check, shuddered: "I'm never buying dolls again."
Cao Kun chuckled and said, "Not all dolls have ghosts inside them."
Charlize Theron firmly stated, "I won't buy it, but I can make it myself."
Cao Kun: "That's a good idea."
Holding a check for $500,000, Cao Kun bid farewell to Chariz Theron and returned to the Land of Evil.
Cao Kun was in a good mood; he hadn't made any money killing Annabelle earlier.
But now, they have a fixed annual income.
$2.4 million! At the current exchange rate, that's over 20 million RMB.
If you returned to China during this period, you would definitely become a very wealthy person.
Of course, this amount of money would also make someone a millionaire in the US.
After all, by 2020, many Americans couldn't afford $400 and relied entirely on credit cards.
That evening, Cao Kun took the Holy Son from the foot of the mountain out for a nice meal.
Chinese food is delicious, but Western food is delicious too.
Especially those precious ingredients, they don't actually need much cooking to taste good.
Of course, the price is also exceptionally high.
Therefore, for Westerners, eating out is also a very luxurious thing.
Here, "dining out" refers to high-end restaurants.
2 a.m.
Cao Kun and the Holy Son of the Mountain were, as usual, cultivating in their respective fields.
Suddenly, Cao Kun opened his eyes.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
"Damn, they're really coming."
"Master, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing the sound, the Holy Son of the Mountain also paused his cultivation.
Before Cao Kun could answer, she already knew the reason: "A car is approaching us."
She was a little puzzled: "This isn't a main road, what's this car doing here in the middle of the night?"
Cao Kun: "It's alright, you continue your cultivation, I'll go check on things."
Seiko Yamashita: "Master, I can handle this small matter. I'll go and kill them all."
Cao Kun: "No need, I happen to need some souls."
After letting the Holy Son at the foot of the mountain continue his cultivation, Cao Kun quietly went outside.
Then I saw a car with its lights on, slowly approaching.
The car stopped in front of Cao Kun's garage, and the men got out and pulled out guns.
One of them, holding some kind of tool, deftly unlocked the garage door and raised it up.
Someone asked, "Should we go in and kill that yellow-skinned guy?"
"No need to go in. He'll come out on his own when he hears the noise. You guys stay here and keep watch. When he comes out, don't kill him yet. I want him to know the price of refusing me."
Cao Kun recognized the speaker as the blond young man from earlier that day, the one who wanted to buy his car.
"Found the key." A man holding the key opened the car door.
Just as he was about to go inside, the blond young man grabbed him and pulled him out: "This is mine."
The blond young man got into the driver's seat, turned the key, and the car roared to life.
"That's the sound!" The blond young man excitedly patted the steering wheel.
"Is this person deaf? Why doesn't he make such a loud noise?" someone asked curiously.
"Haha, he must be scared." The blond young man laughed loudly: "Yellow-skinned guys are such cowards."
As he spoke, he raised the muzzle of his gun and casually pulled the trigger into the room.
Bang bang bang...
Several shots were fired in quick succession, the sound echoing in the garage.
The blond young man laughed even louder: "Am I right? That yellow-skinned guy is probably so scared he's wet his pants by now."
"Hahaha..." The others laughed along.
“Go, you cowardly yellow-skinned man who’s even more timid than a rat, let’s spare his life today.”
The blond young man shifted gears and drove the car out of the garage.
Then he fired several more shots into the garage.
