“Where do you live now?”
“I’ve been hiding in a church. I don’t even dare to leave the church these days.”
Sienna shook her head. She did not think that the people in the church knew how to exorcize evil spirits.
If the church had any holy relics, perhaps it could help Chris.
However, if the church was ordinary, it would not be useless for her, no matter how lavishly designed it was.
“Do you want to live at my place for the time being? You need to pay, though.”
“Err… How much is it?”
“That depends on how long you’re staying. Two hundred for a week. What do you say?”
“That’s expensive. If I stay in a hostel, it’s at most twenty everyday.” Chris was not rich either. After all, she was jobless at the moment.
“150 dollars then. My house is much better than a hostel.”
“How about my problem?”
“Another one hundred dollars. I’ll definitely settle all your problems. At least I can guarantee your safety.”
“Did Nance become an evil spirit? Has he been lying to me?” Chris’s tone was filled with sorrow.
She had totally woken up by now. Only after experiencing despair would one feel fear.
She did not even dare to imagine how desperate she had been just now.
“Perhaps. Does your ex-boyfriend appear at night?” Sienna patted Chris’s leg.
“Most of the time. Can you really exorcize evil spirits? Are you really a spiritualist?”
Different from her hysterical state just now, Chris was extremely clear-headed at the moment. She even began to doubt Sienna.
“I’m a professional.”
“Professional? By setting a booth here?”
“Who told you that a professional spiritualist can’t have a booth? Those orating spiritualists on the media are the real fake ones.”
“I’ll only give you the money after you settle my problem.”
“Pay me half first.”
“I can give you at most another fifty dollars now. The rest after you help you.” Having lost her job, Chris was poor as well.
“A hundred. I’m providing you accommodation and food. You have to pay me the rent first.”
“Fine, a hundred. The rest after everything is finished.”
After discussion, the two finally reached a consensus.
Sienna was a witch, but a very poor one.
Sienna called David, “David, are you busy now?”
“Yes. What is it?”
“I have a friend, a beautiful, female friend. She wants to stay with us for a few days. Are you okay with that?”
“Of course. As long as she wants.” David seemed to be elated.
Sienna clenched her fist in excitement.
After she hung up, she realized Chris’s face darkening. “You’re staying with your boyfriend?”
“No, just an ordinary friend. It’s his house. I’m just renting a room temporarily,” Sienna answered.
In fact, it should be “borrow” instead of “rent.”
She did not have to pay any rent. Anyway, she did not have enough money to pay.
As for using David’s house to earn money, she was too poor to care about her dignity at the moment. Moreover, David was more than willing to let Chris move in.
“Ordinary friend? Is it safe?” Chris did not really trust a man’s conduct.
That time, Nance and she were roommates as well. Nance had promised not to touch her at the beginning.
However, one day when she was drunk, Nance slept with her.
In her eyes, all men were the same.
“David’s a policeman, and a coward.”
…
It was Chen Zhao’s first boxing lesson.
There were two muscular men behind Gaia who were just as heavily-built as herself.
Gaia waved her hand and the two men threw the protective gear they were holding onto the floor.
“Wear it.”
“Do I always have to wear protective gear in boxing lessons?” Chen Zhao asked.
Gaia shook her head. “Only the first lesson.”
As Chen Zhao wore the gear, he asked, “Why the first lesson?”
The two muscular men had already put on their boxing gloves. Gaia glanced at the two men, and then looked at Chen Zhao again.
“First lesson…”
“Do I fight against them?” Chen Zhao asked.
“No. First lesson is physical resistance training.”
“What?”
“To put it simply, you’ll get beaten.”
“I want my money back.” Chen Zhao was immediately enraged.
He had spent the money to learn how to beat others, not how to get beaten.
With a smile on her face, Gaia stared at Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao could only ask for less. “Never mind the money. I’m not learning anymore.”
“Alright, stop complaining. They’re both professional and will know what’s appropriate,” Gaia said with a serious tone.
“What are they professional in again?”
“Beating people up.”
“…”
After joking, Gaia became professional again.
Chen Zhao adjusted his protective gear and the two muscular men also stood before him with their gloves ready.
“Chen Zhao, when you face one or more opponents, you need to make a judgement: attack or defend. If you decide to defend, you need physical resistance, as well as defensive skills. Now, Atai and Johnny will be your enemies…”
“Can I fight back?”
“No,” Gaia answered without mercy.
Smack…
Atai hit his gloves together, producing a deep sound.
“Young man, use your hands to protect your head. I don’t want to kill you,” Atai reminded.
“Shit, I want to go home…”
Everyone would be scared when cornered by two muscular men.
However, when Atai’s fist hit Chen Zhao’s head, he only trembled slightly.
It was not as painful as he had thought…
Just then, Atai’s second punch arrived.
Chen Zhao was prepared for the first punch.
However, because he was momentarily distracted, the second punch hit his ear.
Chen Zhao staggered and sat on the floor. Frowning, Gaia made a hand signal at Atai.
Atai removed his gloves and helped Chen Zhao to get up. “Kid, are you still alright?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“What number is this?”
“It’s your middle finger. F**k, let’s continue.”
To be honest, Atai’s punch was much less powerful than Gaia’s.
Chen Zhao managed to easily defend himself. Soon, Johnny joined Atai’s team.
Johnny’s attack was even slightly weaker than Atai. Chen Zhao started to estimate his physical resistance.
Even though he was jointly attacked by two people, as long they did not hit his weak points directly, he would not get injured. There would at most be a bruise.
“F**k, I’m already tired. Kid, are you not tired at all?”
“Nope, let’s continue.”
“Atai, come and rest. I’ll go.”
“I’m tired. I need rest.” Realizing that Gaia was about to join, Chen Zhao admitted defeat at once.
If this female T-rex was serious, he might actually die.
