Chapter 124: Territorial planning, inhumane!
"What kind of ghost is this?!"
As his mind went blank, only this question remained.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It wanted to resist, but found its efforts futile. That hand was like an iron clamp; the more it struggled, the tighter it held.
"Is it really this terrifying just from opening the second eye to the third?"
The masked ghost was shocked, and then suddenly thought of something: "This is an injured ghost."
"Could it be the legendary great fiend?"
Qin Nuo's eyes also showed surprise.
He had thought that the Blood-Eyed Ghost opening its third eye would be able to exchange a few blows with the masked ghost, but he hadn't expected it to completely overpower it!
With just one move, the masked ghost was subdued.
The Blood-Eyed Ghost finally spoke, and its tone was full of a nonchalant arrogance: "Tsk, I've regressed. In the past, in the state of the third eye, this kind of small ghost would have been gone instantly."Qin Nuo didn't contradict it, instead agreeing with a compliment: "No worries, Blood Bro, you're already amazing!"
The Blood-Eyed Ghost enjoyed this rare praise from Qin Nuo, and in its moment of pride, its right hand loosened slightly.
The masked ghost seized this momentary gap, suddenly bursting forth with terrifying Ghost Aura, trying to break free.
But in the next second, it was firmly pressed back against the wall, bricks crumbling and falling.
The Ghost Aura that had just begun to surge was immediately crushed completely.
"Behave yourself, little ghost. If I were serious, you'd already be gone," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said with a cold smile.
The masked ghost: "..."
"I underestimated you. I admit defeat."
The masked ghost knew it couldn't escape and gave up resisting.
Qin Nuo asked with a smile: "I'll ask you a few questions, answer honestly, and I won't do anything to you."
"Do I have a choice to refuse?"
"No."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost suddenly used Ghost Power, a burst of blood-red light shot out, and the moment the third blood-red eye met the masked ghost's gaze, the latter's Ghost Power seemed to be stripped away, leaving it weak and powerless.
When the hand was released, the masked ghost slumped to the ground, sensing the abnormality in its body, and asked: "What did you do to me?"
Blood-Eyed Ghost: "Don't worry, you'll be fine in a while."
Qin Nuo pulled over a chair, sat down, and asked: "Your Other Shore Convenience Store is quite big, huh? Even opened a few branches."
"The backing behind this must be quite substantial, right?"
The masked ghost said: "I was just hired, took this position, and did my job."
"I know nothing about what's behind the store."
Qin Nuo didn't care whether it was telling the truth or not, and continued to ask: "Have you met the big boss behind it?"
"Came a few times, used special ghost creatures to hide their face."
"The content of our conversations was only about how to expand the store, eliminate competitors, and maximize profits."
"Although they handed over ownership of the store to me, the true controller is still them. I'm just a puppet on strings."
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as the pay is enough."
Apparently, the masked ghost and Liao Shen were the same kind of ghost, as long as they were paid, they'd do the job, regardless of who the boss was.
Qin Nuo thought it was quite mysterious, even the core members of the store weren't qualified to see the true face.
Qin Nuo crossed his legs, resting his chin on one hand: "Originally, I didn't want to act against you so soon, but you pushed too hard, so I had no choice but to act early." 𝔯�
The masked ghost listened to Qin Nuo's words, first puzzled, then quickly understood.
"You're from the Red Moon Convenience Store!"
"Just a humble store owner," Qin Nuo replied with a calm smile.
The Blood-Eyed Ghost asked: "What are you going to do now, burn this place down to cause them heavy losses?"
"That's not a realistic idea."
Qin Nuo shook his head and asked the masked ghost: "Since they handed over ownership to you, the contract for the territory and property is with you, right?"
The masked ghost was silent for a moment, then said: "It's not with me, it's with them."
Qin Nuo sneered: "I like dealing with straightforward and honest ghosts. If you don't talk, I can always crush your skull, and some ghost will eventually be sensible enough to confess."
"This is a game between our two bosses behind the scenes, you as an employee don't need to risk your life."
The masked ghost, helpless, said: "Fine, it's in the safe."
"You ghosts hide things in a safe?"
Qin Nuo's expression was a bit odd, and he motioned for the masked ghost to get up and open the safe.
The masked ghost stood up, and under the watchful gaze of the three blood eyes, even if it had thoughts of escaping, reason suppressed them.
In the cramped space.
Its chances of escape were virtually zero.
Coming to a mural, the masked ghost extended another withered arm, placing its hand on the mural.
In the mural, an abstract and horrifying woman with a gaping mouth opened her terrifying bloody maw, swallowing the masked ghost's hand.
Soon, when the arm was withdrawn, it held a watermelon-sized safe.
As the arm left the mural, the mural returned to its original state, without a trace of flaw.
"This way of hiding things is quite inhumane," Qin Nuo muttered to himself.
Placing the safe on the table, he turned the gears, and with a click, the box opened.
Inside was just a stack of papers.
The papers looked aged, with yellowed edges and a few drops of blood staining the corners, presenting a series of contract contents before him.
"Territory Property Ownership Contract."
Qin Nuo picked up the paper, and the signature at the bottom was particularly striking.
"Liquan."
"Isn't that the name of a liquor?"
Qin Nuo blinked, thinking of something, and was a bit surprised.
Could it be as he thought?
"To you, this is just a pile of waste paper."
"If you want to alter or destroy it, I can only tell you that such thoughts are very naive," the masked ghost said coldly, seemingly guessing Qin Nuo's intentions.
Once a contract is signed to transfer the name.
Neither of those actions would be effective.
But Qin Nuo smiled mysteriously.
"Is that so? Not necessarily."
Then, he bit his fingertip and pressed his thumb on the signature spot.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the territorial property planning rights of others—Other Shore Convenience Store!"
"Other Shore Convenience Store scale: three branches, total area of 665 square meters, property conversion success rate of 91%!"
"Ding, unconditionally modifying contract signature name..."
"Ding, planning territory ownership..."
"Ding, acquiring territorial property control rights for the host..."
"Planning successful, congratulations to the host for acquiring new territorial property—Other Shore Convenience Store!"
At the moment he heard the sound, Qin Nuo's eyes lit up.
This System was simply outrageously extravagant.
It really just took over the industry others had painstakingly built, unconditionally claiming it as its own!
Even Qin Nuo himself felt it was beyond belief.
From the contract pages came a rustling sound.
The lines of bloody text content on it were eerily modifying themselves.
When he saw the signature "Liquan" eerily change to "Phantom," the masked ghost was completely dumbfounded...
