Chapter 539: Elizabeth in a desperate situation

Fifteen minutes later, Elizabeth's excitement finally calmed down, and she chose a few relatively low-key clothes from Catherine's wardrobe to change into, and then returned to a relatively secluded private room in the speakeasy and sat down.

The bartender, wearing thick smoky makeup, went to the bar to mix three low-alcohol cocktails and sat silently next to her.

Judging from the calm expression on her face, she didn't seem to care too much about the violation she had just suffered, and looked at Zhang Cheng with curiosity while drinking the wine in her glass.

This atmosphere of silence lasted for about two or three minutes, and Elizabeth finally couldn't help but ask, "Is my grandmother really dead as rumored outside?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng didn't mean to try to hide it, and nodded slightly.

"I see...... No wonder they dared to do this to me. The girl subconsciously clenched her fists, as if she thought of something bad.

"What do you mean? Who are they referring to? What's wrong with you?"

Although Zhang Cheng could directly read the other party's thoughts and memories with the help of his psychic ability, he did not intend to do so.

If he uses his psychic abilities in a similar situation, it won't be long before he becomes a complete pervert, like the Mind Flayer of the world of Faeron, who sees creatures other than himself as slaves and food.

Elizabeth, apparently unaware that she had just escaped, explained with a wry smile: "It's about custody and inheritance troubles.

First of all, my grandmother wrote a will some time ago, and I am the sole heir to this will.

Although she is now dead, from a legal point of view, it can only be said to be missing, and it will take seven years to be considered dead.

So not only do I not get a penny at the moment, but I also have no pocket money that I could get every month, and I can't make ends meet.

Second, due to my grandmother's sudden disappearance, I lost my legal guardian and the child protective agency wanted to send me back to my original foster home.

What's even more terrifying is that many people have bad ideas after knowing that I am the heir to a large amount of property.

Both the so-called "parents" and Pol were eager to get a fortune out of me.

There's even a mob boss who threatens to arrest me and make me a street girl if I don't hand over $5 million in cash within a month. ”

"So you're pretending to be my woman, trying to deter those guys who are plotting against you?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't expect that the accident that happened in the Fragmented World would bring such a terrible disaster to the girl in front of him, and he didn't expect that the other party would use such inferior means first.

Not to mention that all kinds of weird superpowers emerge in the underground world, even ordinary people with a little brain will not easily believe it.

"No way. I don't know much about the underworld, but I know you as a big man who can make my grandmother take it seriously. But alas, in the end, I couldn't fool those bastards. Besides, I'm desperate now, and I don't care what you plan to do with me. Anyway, it's always better to fall into your hands than to fall into the hands of those scumbags. ”

With that, Elizabeth wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and laughed.

Looking at the girl's dark blue eyes, Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "Tell me, do you want to integrate into the underground world and become a member of it, or do you want to return to the life of ordinary people?"

"What's the difference?" asked Elizabeth, shrugging her shoulders.

Zhang Cheng stretched out two fingers unhurriedly: "The difference is that there are two completely different lives! If you choose the latter, I will help you get Catherine's inheritance, but I will also delete the information about the underground world in your mind." If you choose the former, you must first find a way to awaken the witch bloodline and become a superpower. Now tell me, what is your choice?"

"I'll pick the first one!"

Elizabeth gave the answer bluntly with almost no hesitation.

She had seen the terrible power that Catherine the witch had unleashed inadvertently, and she was tired of being weak and powerless, and she had a great desire to become strong and take control of her own destiny.

"Oh, do you know how the witch's bloodline is awakened?" Zhang Cheng had a playful expression on his face.

You must know that witches are not real wizards who master the power of magic through learning and training, they are more like warlocks in the continent of Faeron.

According to legend, the first witches were born from half-breed baby girls born after having sex with the demons of hell, and then gradually integrated into the human world as they multiplied from generation to generation.

For this reason, the Holy See, which was controlled by heaven in the Middle Ages, also launched a witch hunt campaign, and many ordinary women were innocently implicated.

"Yes, my grandmother told me that in order for a witch to awaken her powers, she needs to find a real male wizard first, then sleep with them, and activate herself by absorbing her magic. Elizabeth bit her lower lip and repeated what Catherine had said.

Sensing the shyness in the girl's eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke with a smile: "So you have found your target?"

"Yes! I found it!"

The words just fell!

Elizabeth pounced without warning, hugged Zhang Cheng's neck and kissed him fiercely.

Her movements are so wild, not at all like the gentle lady image she usually shows.

After a full minute, the two slowly separated......

"You're my target!" the girl declared loudly, licking her slightly numb lips.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to say goodbye to a happy single life. Zhang Cheng took out a tissue and wiped the red lip prints left after the kiss just now.

After all, Catherine is dead, he no longer has to worry about his emotions and being used by the other party, and plans to take the opportunity to enjoy the love life of a normal person.

In fact, there is nothing in this world that can pose a real threat to him, except for a very small number of members of the Supreme Council and the monsters created by the gods to guard the seals, and it is time to let go of his long-suppressed nature.

"You admit I'm your girlfriend?" said Elizabeth, covering her mouth in surprise.

"Why not? We had a crush on each other from the first time we met, and it was good to try to get along for a while. As for the inheritance and custody issues, don't worry, I'll send someone to solve it. With that, Zhang Cheng took out his phone and dialed one of the numbers.

But before the other side could be connected, Elizabeth rushed over and hugged his waist tightly, muttering to herself, "Damn! I knew you were pretending to be indifferent!"

"It's a form of self-preservation, to be exact. You see, Lady Catherine is not what you think, she is a dangerous person in the truest sense of the word......"
