They all call me master

Chapter 204 The haunted house under destiny...the creator?

"Please save Clay!"

Just as Arthur finished speaking, Mrs. Bernice continued to speak.

A wise child is better than his mother.

Mrs. Bernice would not think that her son was a brave man or a hero who dared to "face the majesty of thunder" - Clay's so-called "chasing the wind" was just a show off to his friends in the salon.

And this is quite consistent with "foolishness, blindness, and ignorance"!

But what worries Mrs. Bernice the most are words like ‘darkness, loneliness, blood, and brokenness’.

She was worried that something bad might happen to Clay.

Concern leads to chaos, and this is true at any time.

It is precisely because of this that old Charlie summed up similar rhetoric - to put it simply, most situations can be covered by such rhetoric.

Who doesn’t have arrogant moments?

Who can guarantee that he is correct?

There will inevitably be people who are stupid and blind without knowing it!

And darkness, loneliness, blood, brokenness?

This explanation can be used as long as a disaster occurs.

Only the sentence 'There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder' is different.

Because this sentence was added by Arthur himself.

According to old Charlie's process, the money has been collected at this time.

But Arthur doesn't.

He has bigger plans.

Therefore, when he saw Mrs. Bernice taking out the check from her wallet, the young 'psychic medium' frowned slightly and then refused -

"Sorry, Mrs. Bernice, I can't charge you."

Arthur said this, and Mrs. Bernice was stunned.

In fact, Mr. Bernice on the side was also stunned.

When Arthur said those unclear and puzzling words, Mr. Bernice almost equated Arthur with those liars.

In his decades of life, Mr. Bernice has seen too many things, including this kind of liar.

Each one is amazing and magical before it is revealed again.

And when it was revealed, it was a disgusting trick.

Does the other party have a bigger plot?

Mr. Bernice looked at Arthur with thoughts in his eyes, but did not stop his wife from pleading——

“Is there not enough money?

I can add..."

“It’s not money, it’s fate!

It’s also fate! "

Arthur looked at Mrs. Bernice, with more pity in his eyes, and a subtle sigh in his voice.

"If possible, I hope to meet him, but I don't want him to meet me."

After saying that, Arthur stood up and opened the door of the psychic hall.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Mrs. Bernice still wanted to beg, but was stopped by Mr. Bernice. Arthur's last ambiguous words made the gentleman feel more and more that Arthur had an ulterior motive, although he could not be sure that Arthur wanted to What to do, but he knew that if Arthur had other intentions, there would be no results if he continued to plead, and it would only give Arthur more initiative.

Outside the door of No. 2 Kirk Street, after Mr. and Mrs. Bernice left, Arthur returned to the room.

[Fire-piercing eyes] and [Observation of words and expressions] told him that Mr. Bernice was suspicious, but this was what Arthur wanted.

If you want to quickly establish a good relationship with someone like Bernice, ordinary methods will not work.

Only this unconventional approach is possible.

Of course, the prerequisite is to find the prodigal Clay.

Arthur has considerable confidence in this.

Wiggins is an expert in finding people and asking for information. Especially after the number of people under his command increases, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

What if Wiggins can’t be found?

Of course there is Malinda.

With such a close relationship between the two, Arthur believed that Malinda would definitely help him - he didn't believe that this woman could not be tempted by the large warehouse in the dock area.

There was no chance of getting involved with Bernice before, but now that she has, with this woman's character, she will definitely help.

In fact, Ms. Long Night invited Bernice to the salon, but the latter declined.

‘Just because you’re not used to it’!

Anyone could see that this was just an excuse for Bernice not to participate.

As for why?

There are rumors that she couldn't stand the bloody methods used by Lady Long Night when she came to Nanlos in the early days.

Of course, even if others don't understand her, the lady of the long night still goes her own way.

Until now, nothing has changed.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur once again picked up the information collected by Haywood on the table. The conversation just interrupted by Mr. and Mrs. Bernice naturally continued——

"Haywood, do you have any recommendations?"

There were hundreds of pieces of information in his hand, which surprised Arthur secretly.

He didn't even know that there were so many haunted houses in South Los Angeles.

Or to be precise...

So many people died abnormally in Nanlos.

After all, how can a room with one or two people dead be called a haunted house? It must be the kind where accidents happen continuously.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

How many days has he been in South Los Angeles?

"Yes, the first one I recommend is this one, No. 14 Kirk Street - maybe you've heard of it, it's in your neighborhood. Because the whole family of the last tenant died in a miserable way, so no one is here anymore. If you dare to rent, the landlord can only sell it at a lower price. Now it only costs 500 gold tickets, and I am confident that he can lower the price to 400 gold tickets!"

You know, the houses in Dal Lane require 400 gold tickets.

The normal price in Kirk Street is 1200-2500 gold tickets.

400 gold tickets is almost the lowest price.

Moreover, Arthur knew that No. 14 Kirk Street was a nice house.

Involuntarily, the young 'psychic medium' nodded slightly.

"There are also 333 Russell Street here. There have been two murders here before. Not long ago, when the landlord was planning to renovate, he found a lot of strange traces inexplicably appearing in the room. At that time, he was so scared that he never dared to enter the house again. The overall price there is 800-900 gold tickets, and the landlord is willing to sell it for 200 gold tickets, and I am confident that he will lower the price."

Seeing Arthur nod, Heywood was immediately encouraged and took out the most cost-effective house he had collected.

Russell Street is also a middle-class neighborhood in the Shire District, and it is also a large-scale community with complete infrastructure and a large number of people gathering, which is enough to form extremely high rental and sales prices.

If the previous two murders hadn't been too scary, and the previous landlord had made too much noise when he hired people to renovate, the price of 200 gold tickets would have been impossible.

Of course, Haywood is confident that he can win the house at 150-175 golden tickets.

Arthur listened to Heywood's story with a strange expression.

Why does this have anything to do with me?

I'm not a 'haunted house maker'!

"Any more?"

Unwilling to give up, Arthur continued to ask.

Although Heywood wondered why Arthur didn't continue to pay attention to these two very cost-effective houses, he didn't pause and said immediately.

"Yes, No. 17 Xilin Street!"

When Heywood reported out of Xilin Street, Arthur felt worried, fearing that the other party was talking about Fonak's 'handicraft carving workshop'.

Fortunately, not really.

Suddenly, the young 'psychic medium' was in a good mood.

"Go here first!"

The young 'psychic medium' said this.

"good!"

Heywood nodded and took action.

From the simple hiring of a carriage to the more complicated communication with the landlord to get the key to open the door, it was all done by Heywood - the black-hearted landlord showed his abilities in front of Arthur.

"Sir, this is a nice house."

When the landlord and Heywood walked into the courtyard of No. 17 Xilin Street side by side, they did not forget to turn their heads and say to Arthur.

Judging from the respectful way Heywood treated Arthur, the landlord knew who was really in charge.

"Um."

Arthur nodded noncommittally, with helplessness in his eyes.

because--

He smelled blood.

The smell of blood wafted from No. 17 Xilin Street.

The landlord was still a little surprised by Arthur's expression, but the next moment, when the other party opened the door, he didn't care anymore.

"Ahhhhh!"

The landlord screamed as he looked at the body lying in the hall of the house.

Heywood on the side was also inexplicably horrified. He was so frightened that he backed away continuously. Heywood shouldn't have been like this after his experience on Pine Street, but the corpse was really a surprise to him.

Just listen to Heywood exclaiming——

"Clay!"
