Chapter 325

After activating the Puppet System, the wealth Lin Cheng had obtained had already become nothing more than a string of numbers.

Now he could honestly say he had no interest in money whatsoever; money held absolutely no allure for him anymore.

However…

Just as the few of them had finished picking out furniture and were almost home, Lin Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks—a detail that did not escape Eclair's notice.

So Eclair asked with a look of concern on her face.

"Lin Cheng, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Lin Cheng shook his head and said with a faint smile.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered there's one spot in the new house that still hasn't been patched up."

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·····

"I'll go take care of it in a moment. Let's just put the stuff in the backyard first—wait for me just a little bit."

"Do you need our help?" Mengmeng said, patting her little wings.

"No need, it's just a tiny little thing. I'll have it sorted out in an hour, no need to trouble you."

Lin Cheng said with a smile, dispelling the doubts of the two. After sending the things they had just bought today into the backyard and saying another word, he turned and headed toward the new house in the backyard.

But the instant he stepped into the new house, the face that had been smiling a second ago vanished the very next instant, replaced by a countenance that was calm yet utterly cold.

His right foot stepped in, and his field of vision switched to the perspective of the Greed Archbishop, Lei Gu, whose location was not far from Lin Cheng's main body—merely a few hundred meters away on the commercial street.

The instant he entered Lei Gu's perspective, three corpses at the street corner appeared before Lin Cheng's eyes.

"Now that's rather interesting. I hadn't even made a move, yet you've come knocking on my door of your own accord."

The three corpses were two men and one woman. From their appearance and attire, Lin Cheng identified their identities at a glance.

Members of the strongly mercenary Ruby Guild—Kanon, Kotinieta, and Diste.

As for the reason these three had appeared here, Lin Cheng knew without even having to think.

Besides coming for the phoenix stone in Eclair's hands, what other reason could there be?

He had originally thought that, considering how difficult it would be to deal with the phoenix monster after the phoenix stones were united, he had kept putting off handling it. He hadn't expected their operation to be moved up by a full seven years, coming straight here.

Releasing black mist, Lin Cheng dealt with the corpses on the ground, yet the killing intent in his eyes refused to dissipate no matter what.

"I had originally planned to let you live a few more years. Since that's the case, don't blame me. The new stage shall be chosen right there."

The script, the cast, the puppet Lin Cheng had long since been chosen. What remained to be considered was only the stage, which had yet to be finalized. One had to understand that Eclair was not only his savior, but also the most precious woman to him.

Since the other party was seeking death, Lin Cheng didn't mind sending them to hell a little earlier, and at the same time resolving the trouble on Eclair.

"Then, the script can be staged ahead of schedule." End.
