Chapter 82: The Village
Miles, as was typical, was comfortably reclined on the bed. River sat next to him, her shock ebbing but still evident.
“That’s the latest addition to the ghost tamers, now in charge of Dachang City. He’s an expert at dealing with supernatural incidents from Interpol. It has nothing to do with you,” Miles explained nonchalantly.
“What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? He nearly shot me a minute ago!” River retorted, her voice charged with disbelief.
“He wouldn’t have fired. That entire spectacle was for me to see. From the moment he stepped in until he left, he was fully aware someone was showering in the bathroom. The gun at your head wasn’t a threat to you but to me. That man is a formidable adversary, likely to become my enemy in the future,” Miles added.
Clearly unsettled, River asked, “If it’s this dangerous, should we think about moving?”
“Move to where? This Zhao Kai Ming controls the whole of Dachang City. Unless you fancy moving to another city altogether. You can leave if you wish, but I’m not going anywhere.”
Miles continued, his voice firm, “Given his hostile welcome, I’m more committed than ever to outsmart him and take his place. But first…”
He let his words trail off.
To become part of HQ, he had to find a way to delay the revival of the aggressive ghost. If not, in his current state, joining would be nothing less than a death wish. He vividly remembered how Right had met his end.
