Chapter 208: The Money-Seeking Ghost, Falling Star Tower
Chapter 208: The Money-Seeking Ghost, Falling Star Tower
Caigui family, in a study room.
The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings of all sizes, and the wooden shelves are filled with various cultural relics.
There are bamboo curtains hanging on the windows, and a desk is placed next to the window. On the desk are various brushes of varying thicknesses. There is also a green water bamboo in a porcelain vase on the corner of the desk.
A piece of rice paper was spread out, and next to it was a piece of ground ink.
The Caimougui was dressed in a blue shirt, sitting in front of a desk, holding his breath and concentrating, holding a brush and dipping it in ink, painting on rice paper.
This is a landscape painting of mountains with a majestic style.
On the desolate mountain, there is a single pine tree standing proudly, with a lofty spirit that it will climb to the top and overlook all the other mountains.
The Caimougui exudes a refined and elegant aura from head to toe.
The first impression he gives is that he is a cultural geek who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting.
This is also the image that Caimougui shows to the outside world. You can't tell at all that he was once a prominent figure in the Caigui family and had a chance to compete for the position of the head of the Caigui family.
But ever since the Fortune Ghost became more and more successful, he decided to retire from the limelight and indulged himself in the world of calligraphy and painting.
In this way, he showed that he was not interested in this and had no intention of competing with the Fortune Ghost for the position of head of the family.
I just want to live a stable life and write poetry, and I don't have any bigger ambitions.
Because the Money Ghost knows that his power is absolutely inferior to that of the Fortune Ghost.
Regardless of the type of ability, support within the Caigui family, or one's own strength.
He is not as good as the fortune ghost in any way, and the gap is not just a little bit.
In this situation, if he dared to show up and reveal his ambitions, he would be seeking death.
The ghost of wealth doesn't even need to do it himself, the brave warriors he has gathered can cut him into pieces and skin him alive.
Even if they don't kill him, they will keep a close eye on him and won't give him the chance to threaten the ghost of wealth.
Many ghosts have already placed a heavy bet on the wealth ghost, and they will not allow themselves the possibility of shaking the wealth ghost.
The Caimou Ghost once thought about what he should do, whether to admit defeat and acknowledge the Caiqi Ghost as the head of the family, or to continue to find ways to fight for it.
Normally speaking, the former is definitely safer. Even if the wealth ghost takes over, it will not do anything to him.
After all, he admitted defeat early, which made him a wise man among ghosts.
But if that were the case, he would be very unwilling to accept it, because he was deeply obsessed with the throne of city lord.
Before the Fortune Ghost emerged, the throne of City Lord was almost in his pocket.
As a result, after the other party came forward, he easily snatched the position of city lord away. How could he be willing to accept this?
The so-called willingness to give things up is just an act.
Then, he began to read the history books of the Caigui family carefully, trying to find a solution from them.
Finally, he discovered something interesting.
That is, the succession of the heads of the Caigui family from generation to generation is very clear and obvious.
The previous ghosts who succeeded to the position of patriarch of the Caigui family, if they did not have very strong abilities themselves, there would be no competition from other ghosts, so he would be the natural choice.
Otherwise, even if there are multiple competitors, they are all too open and honest. They will set up their positions openly and confront each other fairly. Whether they win or lose, there will be a decent result.
So far, there has been no malicious incident of secretly tripping up or assassinating other competitors.
Here, he saw his opportunity.
Since this has never happened before, it means that the Wealth Ghost team is not vigilant enough about this kind of thing.
In the absence of an obvious threat, they are likely to not pay enough attention to the safety of the wealth ghost.
And this is where my opportunity lies.
When you cannot win what you want through fair means, you must try to find a way to achieve success by surprise and to gain big results with small means.
Since his own forces are no match for the wealth ghost, he will find a way to launch a decapitation operation and kill him.
Tonight's big rally is the opportunity he has been waiting for.
The Half-Ghost Organization where Newsstand Master Nian is located is the sharp blade that he has carefully polished for this operation. The Half-Ghost Organization has several strong ghosts with strong strength. If the Fortune Ghost's strong generals are around, they naturally cannot hurt the Fortune Ghost at all.
But when they turn from open to covert, if they attack at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the Fortune Ghost is alone, they can surround and kill him, and there is still a good chance of success.
Once the half-ghost organization's assassination attempt fails, the Fortune Ghost team will be on high alert, and there will be no chance anymore.
With the final stroke, the ink painting is completed.
Caimougui looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"What a good painting! It is indeed a good painting! This is a very auspicious sign!"
He framed the painting and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the room.
The Money Ghost can judge the possibility of success of a plan by drawing or writing.
If a plan is likely to succeed, the work he creates will be quite perfect; otherwise, it will reveal all kinds of disharmony.
He has used his own method to repeatedly confirm whether he can kill the fortune ghost.
The success rate increased from only 50% at the beginning to 60%, 70%, and 80% later.
Until this latest landscape painting, it shows that the possibility of success of the plan is as high as more than 90%!
This means that your chances of winning are increasing.
Following this trend, the death of the Fortune Ghost is almost a foregone conclusion.
He seemed to have seen the scene of himself sitting on the city lord's throne.
He even imagined what he would do after the success to demonstrate his authority as the city lord.
Also, should his strategy of taking the position of city lord by this means be recorded in the history of Gray City?
If he recorded it, he would become a symbol of the wisdom of the Caigui family, but this method was not fair enough and might be despised by ghosts.
It really makes me confused!
It doesn’t matter, you can think about this matter slowly.
Anyway, I still have a lot of time.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his excitement.
"Well, I want to go to the scene myself and watch the fortune ghost die with my own eyes."
"It would be better to find another camera to record the scene at that time."
Caimougui felt that this was recording the results of his years of planning.
It’s just like after finishing a game and getting a good result, you will take a screenshot as a souvenir.
The money-grubbing ghost left his residence.
After taking a detour, we finally arrived at an inconspicuous high-rise building.
This building is called Luoxing Building and is not very noticeable among the nearby tall buildings.
He changed into a grey suit and his appearance changed as well, looking quite inconspicuous, and came to room 606.
The room was well situated overlooking the street where the big rally was to take place tonight.
He could witness here with his own eyes how the Fortune Ghost was tragically killed in a stabbing while shopping with his girlfriend.
He was not worried about whether he would be discovered.
Because he had made sufficient preparations to cover his tracks.
Moreover, this kind of thing has never happened in the history of the Caiqi family.
When something like this happens for the first time, the ghosts lack experience in dealing with it, and their reaction will definitely be confusing.
There was no way to find out that he had been plotting for many years.
"I will be here to witness everything."
