The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 98

Wanting to be her ghost?

Irene squinted her eyes as she recalled the scene she entered when she first stepped into the room earlier on. Instantly, a burning anger started to rise within herself.

She was nearly about to fulfil her life's second dream, yet in the end, she was interrupted and summoned here with a single call. It would still be justifiable if it was an emergency whereby their souls were on the verge of disintegration. However, when she arrived, all she saw was a scene of a distinguished man and a bewitching woman seated together eating rice noodle rolls.

Now he even dared to think about wanting to be her ghost! Return her dream first!

"I refuse!" Irene rejected outrightly.

Lisa raised his brow as he sent a bewildered look towards Irene. He was not puzzled by her rejection, but instead he was confused by the anger that he sensed in her tone. Could it be that this ghost had upset her in some area that he was not aware of?

His expression turned grave as his Ephialtes' powers became agitated again.

Ghost Gentleman was stunned by Irene's response as well. He did not foresee that his intention to defect over to her side on his own volition would actually be rejected by her. Even though he had taken back his finger phalanx and would be able to deal with the black cat himself, he knew that he was not a match against both the Witch and the man-with an extremely strong aura-beside her with the current circumstances where he had yet to be freed from his contract.

Besides, he still had another matter that he wished for the Witch's assistance.

A flurry of thoughts ravaged Ghost Gentleman's mind but the expression on his face betrayed not a hint of it. He only asked, "Witch had ordered the spiritually-inclined cat to look for me, so I believe that I am of some use for you."

"The people I'm looking for are not just you, I'm searching for your owner too. Because...." Irene gave him a smile before continuing, "If I deliver the both of you to the Metaphysical Association, I would be able to receive a reward of 800,000 yuan."

If she took the ghost to MA, she would be able to exchange him for 800,000 yuan. On the other hand, if she allowed him to stay in the villa, not only would the MA come after her, she would also need to provide for him with an allowance every month. Why would she let herself suffer from such a loss?

Ghost Gentleman was speechless from hearing her reason. His intelligent mind of hundreds of years ground to a halt for a moment.

He was a ghost that had the capability and was on the verge of becoming a ghost general.

He was a ghost who was fought for by countless practitioners to become their ghostly bodyguard even though it was considered a taboo in the metaphysical world.

And he was actually rejected over a mere 800,000 yuan?

Besides, 800,000 yuan was such an insignificant sum of money. To think that any jade ornament on him-Taeyeon-in those days would be at least worth tens of millions by now. This Irene was someone that could not discern real value in goods.

Perhaps the Ghost Gentleman's stare towards Irene was too heated, and the resentment emanating from the ghost was a tad too strong, he unwittingly caught Lisa's attention. Subsequently, Lisa's Ephialtes' powers started to become agitated and their appearance faintly started to morph into numerous daggers.

The corner of Ghost Gentleman's lips twitched. He suddenly understood why the other party did not desire his strength. It was because she already had such a powerful bodyguard by her side.

"Oh, you only wanted this 800,000 yuan reward. I had assumed that you sought me due to the witch doll in your arms." After a brief period of incredulity, Ghost Gentleman quickly regained his composure.
