Chapter 544: Asking for leave (first update, asking for monthly votes)

"Fanny, let's go." Keira advised Fanny.

"Don't you believe me?"

"I believe it. I believe it."

"You obviously don't believe me." Fanny stamped her feet angrily.

Keira gave Chen Zhao an apologetic look and chased Fanni away.

Chen Zhao touched his nose and expressed his helplessness.

On the way back, Fanny remained silent.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll give you the latest Baroness handbag."

"No, Keira, I'm very disappointed in you. Do you think I'm out of my mind?"

"No, I believe what you say."

"What you said is so perfunctory. What I said is so unbelievable. Do you still believe it?"

"In fact, I also saw some supernatural creatures on the first night I stayed at Mr. Chen's house."

Fanny suddenly looked at Keira: "Are you serious?"

"I'm not sure if I really saw it at that time, I even doubted if I was dreaming." Keira said: "I may have seen goblins, well, you must think I'm crazy, too," But I think I did see it.”

After listening to Keira's words, Fanny fell into silence. Halfway through, she said again: "I forgot the reason last night. When I went downstairs, I saw a very big creature running past the front yard. It’s very big, many times bigger than the princess.”

"Then what?"

"Then I went out to look for the creature, and then I went to the cave. In the cave, I saw a snake, a very big snake."

"How big is it?"

"Maybe the diameter of the neck is only 40 centimeters, and the head is as big as my body."

"It didn't attack you?"

"No, it seemed friendly...at least that's what I thought."

Fanny said: "It licked the palm of my hand. When I woke up this morning, I felt that my palm was sticky."

Keira reached out and shook Fanny's palm, which indeed felt sticky.

…

"Boss." Murphy ran to Chen Zhao.

"Why are you here? You don't need to patrol during the day. You can move around freely." Chen Zhao said.

"Boss, I'm here to ask for leave." Murphy looked at Chen Zhao with a troubled face.

Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows. As a boss, what do you dislike most?

Even when employees ask for leave, even outside working hours, Chen Zhao hopes that he can stick to his job.

As for what I just said, it was purely polite.

"What are you doing on leave?"

Murphy lowered his head and hesitated several times.

"What? You can't tell me?"

"No, no... it's... it's Professor Carroll... he..."

Murphy was still very afraid of Chen Zhao, no, it was fear.

Others don't know how scary Chen Zhao is, but he does.

The two legendary creatures hiding in the basement frightened him.

There are also dozens of people who disappeared here some time ago.

He knew it clearly.

One move by Chen Zhao might make him frightened.

"He asked you to help him?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Yeah." Murphy replied cautiously.

"You're not taking my salary here and going to his place to make extra money, are you?"

Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Murphy.

"No, no, really no, it's my dad. My dad owes Professor Carroll a favor."

Father's debt must be paid by his son, okay.

Chen Zhao closed his eyes and lay on the sun lounger.

Murphy stood silently, waiting for Chen Zhao's answer.

Chen Zhao doesn't like Carol. This is very subjective.

In terms of impression, Carroll and Pierce South are the same kind of people.

Of course, the methods may not be that drastic.

But they all belong to the type who are eager for quick success.

What did Carol ask Murphy to do in the first place?

Steal a painting to impress yourself.

Carroll's behavior was actually similar to Pierce South's original behavior.

They all want to use unconventional means to force themselves.

Of course, Chen Zhao would not spoil any of them.

He and Carol were not related, so why should he help him.

Just because of that one-sided relationship?

Just because we lived and died together that night?

It was not Carol who lived and died that day, but Taylor.

Carol never stopped to help him that night.

Moreover, even for Taylor, Chen Zhao would not help him with everything.

Although it is considered a favor, this favor is not worth much.

Tyro couldn't say, "Come with me to die," and then Chen Zhao would just run away.

How scary is the depth of that mountain?

Chen Zhao himself couldn't figure it out. Just meeting two cave demons caused the entire expedition to be wiped out.

There will definitely be more crypt demons in the depths. Chen Zhao was able to deal with one, two, or three, but what about more?

Chen Zhao doesn't think he is a man of steel and iron.

Unless the people around you are in danger.

If it were Fali, she would go by herself.

If it were Ethan, he would go too.

As for Sienna, Chen Zhao will also go.

These are true friendships.

Chen Zhao will also consider other people's words.

But I would never go to the mountains and forests to die just for a night of friendship.

As for Murphy, Chen Zhao didn't want him to go.

Murphy still has the temperament of a kid, even though he's in his twenties.

But it's just like when I was in China, the half-grown men in my village who had just gone out to work were similar.

Chen Zhao really didn't want to let Murphy die.

Going to a place like that, even Chen Zhao wouldn't be sure to come out alive.

Where does Murphy go? I'm afraid my life is gone.

"Give me your father's phone number." Chen Zhao said, "I need to ask him before I can reply."

"Huh? You want to call my dad?"

"What? Aren't you happy?"

"Okay... okay..."

Chen Zhao took Murphy's phone and said, "Go for a walk first, I'll call you later."

After Murphy walked away, Chen Zhao found Murphy's father's phone number.

"Hello."

"Who are you? You are not Murphy, why are you holding Murphy's phone."

"I am Murphy's boss." Chen Zhao replied.

"Oh, are you the one who hired him?"

"I heard Murphy say that you asked Murphy to help Carol, right?"

"Yes, Murphy told you?"

"Do you hate this son?"

"Why do you think so? It's too late for me to hurt him."

"So do you know how dangerous it is where Carol is going this time?"

"..."

"I happened to be there that day. His team and I met at the edge of the expedition area. Then we jumped into two monsters, and these two monsters killed his team and fled, and these were just two monsters. If you continue to go deeper, you will encounter more monsters like this. From my understanding, it is almost impossible for Murphy to survive."

"But...Carol said he would protect Murphy."

"Haha... What does Carol bring Murphy to do? Let him be a thug instead of bringing an oil bottle. How can he take care of Murphy? Let him hide behind the team? In addition, if he really encounters The danger was enough to destroy the expedition team. How could he protect Murphy? I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to protect himself by then."
