After Chen Zhao left the motel, he received the invitation.
He was greatly enlightened by the conversation with Li Qing.
Li Qing was kind of his senior, and she had displayed an excellent understanding of the spells of Qingyi Sect.
Of course, this was not to say that Li Qing was powerful.
In fact, Li Qing’s combat power was probably much weaker than that of Chen Zhao.
But it was only because the spells of Qingyi Sect were not designed to be used in combat.
Of course, Chen Zhao did not learn every single spell from the conversation.
His inadequate magical power was the real limiting factor.
Nevertheless, Chen Zhao found the spells really useful for medical treatment.
For example, if he were to encounter Hoffman’s situation again, he would be much more confident.
…
“Ms. Rupert, may I ask how’s it going?” Pierce South called Rupert again.
When Rupert heard his voice, she was enraged at once.
“I’ve already attacked him, and I failed. According to our agreement, you need to pay me the remaining balance,” Rupert said.
“What? You failed? Ms. Rupert, you must be joking. You’re a famous witch in LA. Why would you lose to that Chinese?”
“What do you know about that Chinese?” Rupert sounded more and more displeased.
Chen Zhao was an out-and-out monster who even killed Evangeline.
She had already attacked Chen Zhao twice, both of which failed.
His magical resistance was too high. According to Sienna, he even had the incredible strength to fight with Evangeline head-on.
If she really irritated Chen Zhao, he might just tear her to pieces.
Anyhow, Rupert was determined that she would never attack Chen Zhao again.
“No matter what, he’s just a wizard.”
“Wizard? Just a wizard?!” Rupert was mad. “I cast a curse from his back, and he actually told me that my curse tastes nice! Do you know how I felt? I’m not even thinking about finding him for revenge now, but finding you!”
Pierce almost dropped his phone on the floor. Was that Chinese really so scary?
“You better pay me the remaining amount, or I’ll find you… and then tell the Chinese your whereabouts. I believe he’ll be happy to pay me for that.”
“Alright… I’ll pay you.” Pierce did not know if Rupert was blackmailing him.
Perhaps Rupert did not even attack Chen Zhao. Perhaps it was just blackmail.
But Pierce had no choice. After all, who asked him to find Rupert?
If he rejected this, Rupert might really expose him to the Chinese.
Nonetheless, Pierce was even more dissatisfied.
Suddenly, Pierce had an idea. He would not find another witch in LA, lest he be cheated again.
How about a foreign association?
As a wizard, Pierce more or less knew some supernatural people or information.
Sorcerer killer? That would be expensive…
Is it really worth it?

Pierce fell into silence.
Sorcerer killers were obviously hired to kill sorcerers.
Of course, sorcerer killers were sorcerers themselves, which was exactly why they knew the weaknesses of sorcerers.
After making up his mind, Pierce logged in to a website and issued a post.
Soon, he received a call.
It was a woman’s voice. “Did you make the million-dollar offer?”
“Yes,” Pierce answered.
“Five hundred thousand deposit. Tell me the target’s location, identity, and power. If I succeed, I’ll find you for the remaining amount. If I fail, I won’t disturb you again.”
“Are you sure you can complete the task? The witch I hired previously took my money without attempting the task. She even blackmailed me.”
“I can only promise that I’ll try my best to complete the mission. You can check my history. I have a 100% success rate on my nine missions. I won’t destroy my perfect record just for five hundred thousand.”
“That’s great.”
Gritting his teeth, Pierce paid another five hundred thousand and sent Chen Zhao’s information to the killer.
…
When Chen Zhao got home, Obitos crawled to him and placed his forelimbs on Chen Zhao’s body.
“Ahda, father said that he’ll summon you to Hell tonight.”
“Okay, at midnight still?”
“Yes.”
Chen Zhao summoned Samuel. “Samuel, I need the skeletons of demonic beasts, preferably those with magical power.”
“You need to trade something with me.”
“Those skeletons are just piled up before your place. Don’t you feel embarrassed for being so greedy?”
“Why would I be embarrassed? They still belong to me, even if they’re useless. Also, I’ve made my investigation. Fried chicken drumsticks and ham sausages are just ordinary food! You’ve been using cheap items to trade with me.” Samuel stared at Chen Zhao with righteous indignation.
“Wait, you’re the one who wanted the trade, not me.”
“I don’t care. I feel deceived.”
“Fine, so the deal is off then? Forget it. I’ll find another demon. You’re not the only demon in Hell.”
“I don’t accept this. Who dares to trade with you? Do you believe that I’ll go and destroy the true forms of those petty demons around you now?”
Chen Zhao suddenly took out the enormous piece of perfect angelic crystal. “What did you say? Repeat that.”
“Wait… take that away from me! Damn… Why do you have such a holy object?” Samuel wanted to escape, but Chen Zhao grabbed his neck. He could not break free at all.
The other pets in the house had long fled from the place. None of them would stay in the living room.
The entire villa was enveloped in a holy aura. Samuel was both the weakest and the strongest demon present.
Moreover, he was closest to the perfect angelic crystal. The Samuel Chen Zhao was holding was only a projection, but just like a person’s limbs, it would affect his true form.
Samuel’s true form was in as much pain as his projection.
Of course, the perfect angelic crystal was far from enough to kill Samuel.
His true form would continuously send power to his projection, which was therefore unkillable.
Precisely because of that, however, he would consistently receive damage from the perfect crystal.
“Fine… I apologize…”
“Then let’s talk about the deal…”
