"Now you don't suspect that I have ulterior motives and am trying to take advantage of you?" Su asked.
Miss Fire Demon shook her head: "No, it doesn't matter now. You can control flames just like me. Although I don't know what you are yet, you're definitely not an ordinary person. I'd be happy to be your friend, or..."
Miss Fire Demon walked over and casually took Su's arm: "You won't kill me or fire me, will you?"
Miss, you're being a bit racist!
Are you looking down on ordinary people? Or do you Fire Demons also value social status and can only associate with equally special people?
That doesn't make sense either. I didn't reveal my identity at the club. Nobody knew whether I was human or Vinson. So you're not discriminating against race, or rather, not against humans or races like Vinson, but against fire, right?
Those who know how to play with fire and those who don't are treated completely differently.
As for whether Miss Fire Demon said that out of fear, in order to beg for mercy?
Su thought it was unlikely. Her reputation hadn't reached Vison. Although she had lost the fire contest, who would abandon the rules and bottom line and surrender just because they lost by one point?
Moreover, Eddie Monroe also said that Fire Demon has a very fiery and aggressive temper, as well as pride. In addition, she threatened to kill him if he forced her to drink a glass of wine. It is conceivable that Miss Fire Demon is not the kind of person who will easily back down.
Or rather, Miss Fire Demon has a personality that is unyielding even in the face of death.
"You now have two choices: First, you can come with me from now on, and I will cover all your expenses, including food, clothing, and lodging. You can temporarily help me manage the club, and if you perform well, I may consider teaching you to cultivate stronger fire abilities."
"Second, I will punish you slightly, and we will pretend that what happened before never happened. You can continue to work at the club, and I will not bother you again."
"Are you very rich?" Miss Fire Demon asked curiously.
Su nodded: "...the kind that's more than you can spend."
"Do you often do this...using money to bribe people to follow you?"
After thinking for a moment, Su explained, "I've mostly been looking for supernatural beings like you. You should know how difficult life is for supernatural beings, right?"
"My biggest hobby or idea right now is to collect all kinds of supernatural creatures. I have collected vampires, werewolves, leopard people, shapeshifters, and even demons and angels."
"Follow me, and you'll have endless money, a comfortable and peaceful life, and an endless life!"
"The price is that I will become your pet," Miss Fire Demon said bluntly.
Su shrugged: "Equivalent exchange. Every effort must be rewarded, and every gain must be given."
"My father, he was also a fire demon. Because he failed to protect my mother in his early years, he felt guilty and his mind became somewhat unstable. He saw himself as an evil dragon and collected gold everywhere, but he mistook copper for gold. I hope... you can help me (Dede Zhao) so that my father can die with dignity."
Miss Fire Demon remained silent for a long time before stating her conditions.
Sue remembered that in the TV series, Miss Fire Demon deliberately kidnapped Juliet Hill, hoping that Nick would come to save the 'princess' and defeat the 'evil dragon', so that her father could 'get his wish' and die with dignity.
Although the Fire Demon is not a dragon, it has dragon blood, and some of its thoughts and ideas are indeed different from those of ordinary people.
Su could understand, but she wasn't prepared to accept her condition: "Can your mother's body still be found?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
“As long as the body can be found, I have a way to bring your mother back to life. By then, your father’s mental state will also return to normal, right? So, there’s no need to let him die with dignity.”
Su smiled and patted Miss Fire Demon on the shoulder: "Although when you'll be resurrected depends on your performance, but... consider this opportunity my apology for forcing you to drink."
Chapter 179 Nick's Suspicion: Has the Werewolf Killing Been Discovered?
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
A rumbling sound echoed in a certain area of the alternate dimension. The Su family had used an earthen barrier to create a small space to house Miss Fire Demon's father and his 'collection'.
All sorts of copper artifacts were piled up to the brim. A man, though meticulously cleaned, still looked somewhat dazed and disheveled, sat in his 'golden' cozy space, indifferent to everything around him.
Miss Fire Demon had prepared many things for her father, and with a melancholy expression, she turned to look at Madam Su. "I...can I come to see him anytime?"
"You can't come even if you don't want to." People can stay here temporarily, but the environment still needs to be cleaned up, and this job definitely has to be done by Miss Fire Demon.
Actually, it was Miss Fire Demon who suggested locking her father up. She was worried that her father might have an accident because he was stealing copper everywhere. After Su mentioned the alternate dimension, she asked Su to send her father into the alternate dimension first.
Since they were already there, Ms. Su showed Miss Fire Demon around the vampires, wildcat spirits, and the sealed angels before finally emerging from the alternate dimension and returning to the Show Club.
Eddie Monroe has left. When the club's employees saw Su and Miss Fire Demon, they greeted the new boss with a mixture of enthusiasm and trepidation.
Su met with the original club owner, and then, in front of him, directly released a shadow clone to bring his private lawyer, Lisa Trinity, to handle the club's transfer contract issues.
The price offered by the Su family was definitely far higher than the club's intrinsic value. Moreover, they deliberately showed off their extraordinary abilities, so regardless of whether the club's original owner had any other intentions, they no longer do.
After the contract was finalized, Su had Miss Fire Demon and Lisa Trinity exchange contact information, and then had his shadow clone send Lisa Trinity back.
Although it feels a bit like Lisa Trinity is being used as a tool, the more capable you are, the more work you get. The more she does, the higher her salary will be in the future. After all, Lisa Trinity wants to prove herself with her abilities!
The club has officially changed hands, and everyone, whether they work or not, has been summoned.
Don't let its small size fool you; there are over thirty people who rely on the club for their livelihood—well, over thirty Vison monsters.
Su, as the new boss, only said two things: First, the club will be managed by Miss Fire Demon from now on; second, everyone's salary will increase by fifty percent.
"Do you know the Otter Monster?" After Miss Fire Demon finished speaking and signaled that everyone could disperse, Su asked Miss Fire Demon.
“Otter monsters? I know them.” Miss Fire Demon said, “A few otter monsters occasionally come to the club to repair some damaged facilities. They are probably the most harmless ones. Moreover, each of them is an all-around repairman and a skillful maker. Most of the otter monsters work in construction companies.”
"Do you know the owner of the power company that the school building you took me to?" Su asked again.
Miss Fire Demon thought for a moment: "I don't know him, but I can find someone who does."
"Contact him for me and ask if he's selling that building. If so, give me a price. I plan to buy it, renovate it, and open a supermarket. While you're at it, contact Otter Monster and ask if they'd take on the project. If they do, provide a design and a rough budget."
"it is good."
Although Miss Fire Demon has no experience in management or communication, after all, she is just a fire-breathing acrobat, she will do her best to make the most of her new identity and new life, whether for herself or for her mother who may be resurrected.
"Notify me if there's any news." After saying this, Su was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and wrote a check for 500,000 US dollars, handing it to Miss Fire Demon.
"Give it to me?" Miss Fire Demon was stunned.
“Buy two cars. Send one to Eddie Monroe, the werewolf who sat next to me before, and keep the other for yourself.”
Miss Fire Demon nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Should I come to you after get off work?"
Su smiled without saying a word, then left in a flash.
Miss Fire Demon's identity as a Fire Demon holds a higher place in Su's heart than her beauty; for now, being pleasing to the eye is enough.
In Berkeley Park, Sue teleported to go home, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Nick staring at him in shock from the bushes not far away.
"..."
Their eyes met, and both of them were a little stunned.
Sue didn't expect Nick to be here, and Nick didn't expect Sue to suddenly appear here either.
Clearly, Nick saw himself teleported there. Now there are two solutions: one is to hypnotize him to forget what he saw, and the other is to observe his reaction and, if appropriate, to clarify things.
Sue still admires Nick, and Green's sharp eyes are also very helpful.
"What are you doing here?" Sue looked at the evidence bag Nick was holding, which appeared to be a model of a footprint.
Nick looked at Sue: "I don't think the mailman committed suicide. I found new footprints near his house that don't belong to the mailman."
Nick spoke while keeping a close eye on Sue's changing expressions.
Accident?
It was just an accident, without any panic, which made Nick nervous.
In the past, Nick might have dismissed his doubts, but witnessing Sue's teleportation firsthand made Nick even more convinced of his judgment and cleared up his previous doubts.
Nick's hand slowly moved to his waist, where a gun was slung.
"Why do you suspect me?" Su asked calmly, though she seemed a little curious.
“You were the one who found the kidnapped little girl, and you found her in the wrong place!” Nick said in a deep voice. “The location was almost at the edge of the park. Even if the mailman gave up on kidnapping the little girl because of your girlfriend, he shouldn’t have left her there.”
“He has already run so far with the little girl that whether or not he lets her go has no impact on him.”
Su nodded: "Details determine success or failure."
"Did you burn the mailman to death?" Nick asked in a deep voice.
Ms. Su nodded in acknowledgment: "It was me."
"Why? Because he attacked your girlfriend?" Nick said in a deep voice, "It's undeniable that he deserved to die, but that's not a reason for you to kill him. Since you knew his identity, why didn't you tell us? We could have easily caught him and brought him to justice."
"Did your aunt tell you?" Su asked suddenly, seemingly out of the blue.
Nick was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"Your family's curse, you are Green!"
"How do you know all this?" Nick took a few steps forward excitedly. "You know my aunt? What else do you know?"
Chapter 180 The Grim Hunter? Vinson, who has completely become human.
"Have you seen any unusual phenomena recently?" Su asked.
Nick nodded: "Sometimes when I look at someone, their face suddenly turns into a monster, and then it goes back to normal. What's going on?"
"This is the power of the Green bloodline, which allows us to see through the true nature of the Vison monsters. The strange phenomena you see are not illusions; they are their true other side."
Mrs. Su asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't your aunt tell you any of this? She shouldn't have been attacked yet."
"What do you mean? Someone is going to attack my aunt?" Nick was immediately shocked.
“Grimm hunts the Vinson monster, and the Vinson monster will naturally hunt Grimm in return.” Su reminded her, “You’d better stay with your aunt these next few days…”
"Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring..." The sudden ringing of the cell phone interrupted Su's words, and Nick took out his phone.
"She's my aunt."
When Nick answered the phone, his aunt didn't speak. Instead, he heard the sounds of a struggle, which instantly changed Nick's expression. Without thinking, he turned and ran out of the park.
"What a coincidence?" Su thought for a moment, then suddenly rolled her eyes and looked in the direction of Nick's house.
He rolled his eyes and soon, right there in Nick's house, he saw an old man and woman nimbly fighting off a burly man.
"Whoosh—" With the Instantaneous Movement Technique activated, Su Shi's figure darted through the forest at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive, and rushed over along the path.
Nick's aunt is definitely going to die. Even if she doesn't die at the hands of the Grimm Hunter, Director Shawn Leonard will send a witch to assassinate her. After all, only when she dies will Nick grow into the real Grimm, so that Director Shawn Leonard can use Nick, this rookie Grimm, to achieve his own goals.
