Chapter 162: Did I Invite You?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hugh thought that he had scared Mary, so he quickly patted her shoulder and said, I think that the ghosts and legends in this world are all fake! What ghosts? Everything is just the human mind playing tricks and peoples foolishness!

However, on this forum, someone made a post saying that they are offering a reward of 500,000 dollars to go to the hotel to catch ghosts!

Mary and Herman looked at each other.

Your annual royalties are in the hundreds of millions, and you are still short of 500,000 dollars?

Just a moment ago, he had promised to give her an annual salary of one million US dollars, but now he was going to risk his life for 500,000 dollars.

It was indeed very much like Hugh Hall!

Hugh said righteously, Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money and would risk his life for a mere 500,000 dollars? What I am doing instead is to take risks and catch ghosts so people can be safe!

Mary wanted to say that she was that kind of person. However, she held back.

When Hugh saw that Mary was silent, he quickly said, I believe that with your skills, no matter who he pretends to be, he wont be able to escape your eyes!

And Ive thought it through. When I come back this time, Ill definitely write a story about this! Youre going to be the heroine! What do you think?

.

Well split the bounty fifty-fifty! If you cant get it, it doesnt matter. Ill personally compensate you!

Mary asked, How much can you give me?

Hugh endured the pain and said, Just Fifty-fifty. So two hundred and fifty thousand?

Mary reached out and high-fived Hugh. A gentlemans promise should be honored!

She agreed just like that.

Hugh had yet to react.

Herman stood up and seemed to be about to leave. Inform me before you go. Ill go too. Oh, right, I want two hundred and fifty thousand too.

Herman seemed to be very busy in the afternoon. He left without giving Hugh any time to react.

Herman closed the door and Hugh screamed, Did I invite you? Just go! Im going to lose a lot of money!

Mary laughed and clutched her stomach.

Therefore, he would not get a single cent from catching the ghost. If he did not catch it, he would have to pay 500,000 himself.

No matter how he calculated it, it was not worth it.

Hugh was so angry that he wanted to go back to his words. However, when he saw Mary giggling, he had no choice but to endure it.

He had to admit defeat to his parasitic siblings.

Two days later, Mary attended Isidores funeral.

At the funeral, she met Adela and Sam, as well as some others from the Raging Flame Group.

Adela saw Marys eyes light up and ran over to ask her, Why does Isidore have so many friends? I dont know most of them!

Mary resisted the urge to tell him that most of the people here were from the intelligence agency.

Mary looked at the crowd of people who had lined up to pay their respects and sighed. Maybe hes popular.

The priest began to recite the eulogy. Mary tugged Adelas sleeve and lowered her head to keep quiet.

After the eulogy, Adela caught up with Mary who had already left. Miss Mary, where are you going? Do you want to go to Yunhan during this period of time? Ill provide you with chips!

Thank you, but its not necessary for the time being. Im not free recently! Mary replied,

Then where are you going?

Traveling to the southwest.

Ah? Then I wont see you for a long time. Adela broke up with Mary regretfully and turned around to look for his companions.

That night, Monroe Hall suddenly appeared at the door of Hughs house.

Mary was packing her luggage when she heard the sound of Hugh opening the door. She stuck her head out and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Mary ran over and obediently gave Monroe a simple hug.

Why are you here?

Monroe reluctantly let go of Mary and secretly glared at Hugh. If I hadnt come, someone would have already kidnapped my most precious princess!

Hugh did not realize the deep meaning behind Monroes glare, he even said with a smug face, Hey, how come youre allowed to take her on a trip, but Im not allowed to take her on an adventure?! Besides, I have great confidence in our precious sister. I believe that we will definitely come back alive!

Monroes face was stern. Arent we going on a trip? Why did it become an adventure, and all were asking for is to come back alive?!

Monroe was already a little angry.

If it wasnt for Adela mentioning it in front of him, would the two of them have run away without him knowing?
