ABCFWGR Chapter 55 Nightmare
In their line of sight, Gu Chen and a stunning woman got into a business car, chatting and laughing.
"It really is him!" Chen Yuwei exclaimed.
What surprised her even more was that the beauty of the woman beside Gu Chen even made her pale in comparison.
"He actually came to the auction. He must have seen me embarrassed but didn't even have the courage to step forward."
"Compared to Junjie, it's like night and day. Yet Mom kept wanting to match you with him."
"It's so hateful! If I don't give him a piece of my mind face to face, I won't be able to let go of my anger!"
Chen Wantai said, striding over.
Apart from the reasons mentioned above, what made him even angrier was the matter with Longhu Liquor.
It was all because Gu Chen didn't make things clear, which allowed Li Daqing to take advantage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been embarrassed.
In the end, Gu Chen was the root of all the trouble.
But before he could reach them, the business car revved its engine and drove away.
"Stop!"
Chen Wantai hurriedly chased after them.
Just as he was about to vent his anger, the target left, leaving Chen Wantai almost suffocating with internal injuries.
"Mr. Gu, Miss, it seems like someone is chasing our car from behind," the driver slowed down slightly and warned.
Liu Hanyan glanced back. "It's that father-daughter pair causing trouble. Maybe they saw you and want to say hello."
Say hello?
That was nonexistent.
Gu Chen didn't care. "Ignore them, just keep going."
They were no longer family, there was no need to get entangled further. Helping them out was only for the sake of Madam Jiang, to prevent her from feeling upset and worried.
Seeing this, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
As a former professional driver, he didn't like driving slowly.
"Damn it!"
"Not only did they not stop, they even accelerated. Are they deliberately avoiding me?"
Chen Wantai was furious, hands on hips, panting heavily. "Gu Chen, if you have any guts, don't let me see you again!"
---
Late at night.
In the temporary bamboo building at Shili Po.
A flicker of fire emerged, then disappeared into the darkness, followed by eerie and eerie wailing sounds.
"Oh my god! Someone save me!"
Cowering in a corner, Li Hongtao continuously made crosses with his hands on his chest, in extreme fear.
These past few days, he had been eating and living with Master Zhang.
But ever since Master Zhang suffered a loss last time, he seemed to have gone crazy, pondering over some old book all day long, occasionally conducting experiments.
Li Hongtao was nearly starving to death.
And the terrifying scene before him had occurred more than once, each time more frightening than the last.
Before, it was only a couple of wisps of black smoke, then everything returned to normal.
But at this moment, he clearly saw "souls," even clearer than the ones Zhang Haoran had conjured before.
His pants were a little wet, and Li Hongtao quickly clamped his legs together.
"It's done!"
"It's finally done!"
"Wow haha, now everything is foolproof!"
Master Zhang laughed maniacally, then turned to face Li Hongtao, his eyes gleaming green. "Mr. Li, I've taken revenge, and you'll rise to power. But this journey has cost me dearly, not only did I lose my beloved disciple, but I also wasted many resources."
"So..."
Li Hongtao's legs went weak, and he quickly nodded repeatedly. "I understand, I understand. On top of our agreed terms, I'll double it for you... no... triple it... five times..."
Seeing Master Zhang's displeased expression, he hurriedly changed his tune, only when he mentioned five times the price did Master Zhang show satisfaction.
"Hehehe, Mr. Li, the young can indeed be taught!"
"It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Master!"
Li Hongtao laughed bitterly.
To be honest, in these few days, he had calmed down a bit and regretted some of his actions. But now that things had come to this, he had no way out and could only proceed down this path.
"Alright, stay back, I'm going to perform the ritual. Don't get hurt again."
Master Zhang smirked proudly. "This is a demon I summoned using my own blood and heart, capable of killing without a trace. But it's too bloodthirsty and may harm others accidentally."
Hearing this, Li Hongtao almost didn't hesitate and quickly slipped outside the door.
This made Master Zhang even more pleased. "Look at you, with the courage of a chicken heart. But it's not that bad."
Li Hongtao didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he quietly took a few steps back. Being alive was better than being sucked dry.
Thinking of the mountaineers who had been brutally killed by Master Zhang not long ago, Li Hongtao shuddered.
Boom!
A burst of fire flashed.
Master Zhang crossed his legs and closed his eyes, chanting incantations under his breath.
"~!@#¥%......"
With each chant, he entered Gu Chen's dream from the perspective of the demon.
"Haha! You're Gu Chen, the one who killed my son?"
"You've been hiding like a turtle for a few days, but you've finally shown yourself again... Oh, this is a demon!"
Gu Chen woke up from his sleep, showing no signs of panic.
However, when he noticed the translucent, shapeless gray mass in the air, his expression changed involuntarily.
"I didn't expect you to know about demons?"
Master Zhang was particularly surprised, then he suddenly understood, "No wonder I failed last time. I thought you had someone powerful helping you, but it turns out you're a practitioner yourself."
Gu Chen couldn't be bothered to explain his identity to him, and said coldly, "I was originally planning to keep you around for a few days to catch a big fish, but since you dared to summon a demon, then I can't let you live!"
The demon, even in the branch of Southern Witchcraft, was considered a forbidden existence. Because not only was the demon bloodthirsty, it also easily devoured its master. Once it took over a host, it would inevitably cause countless disasters.
"You arrogant brat, do you really think that because you narrowly defeated me last time, you can be sure of victory?"
"Now that I have the demon in my hands, it's definitely you who will die!"
Master Zhang was furious.
Then, he manipulated the demon to spew out a thin mist.
The mist emitted a sleep-inducing fragrance. Once asleep in the dream, one would never be able to return to reality.
As the mist enveloped Gu Chen, the demon became somewhat excited, almost breaking free from Master Zhang's control.
"Don't be impatient, it's all yours, you can feast later."
Master Zhang hurriedly tried to pacify it as if coaxing a child.
However, just then, a sudden change occurred.
Gu Chen, seemingly frozen in place, suddenly moved. Not only did he move, but he also gathered all the mist into his palm and pushed it back towards the demon.
In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the dream.
The demon became agitated, jumping around in the rolling mist.
Master Zhang hastily chanted spells, but to no avail. Instead, everything went black before him, and he was dragged into the dream by the demon.
With a thud, he landed next to Gu Chen.
"With your meager skills, you dared to summon a demon. You brought this upon yourself, and you can't live!"
Gu Chen looked at him coldly.
"You brat, stop talking nonsense. Once I deal with the demon, I'll deal with you!"
Master Zhang, furious, scrambled to his feet and pointed at the demon. "You ungrateful creature! If it weren't for me summoning you, would you have had a chance to see the light of day again?"
"Now that you're just a young demon, you dare to devour your master. Watch as I scatter your soul!"
