Chapter 215 The city lord is furious
The wealthy ghost family, the city lord's mansion.
The white-haired old man sat on a recliner in the courtyard, staring at the pale full moon hanging in the night sky.
This ordinary, even somewhat kind white-haired old man is the one standing at the pinnacle of power in Gray City, the old mayor of Gray City.
He had heard an ancient legend that said the ancestor of their Caiqi family was the pale full moon in the sky and that all the ghosts of the Caigui family would return to the arms of the ancestor when they died.
He felt that this day was not far away.
Recently, he felt increasingly overwhelmed, his condition was declining, and his energy was becoming increasingly insufficient.
When this sign appeared, he knew that his end was near.
He sighed, "It's a pity that my Caigui family has dominated Gray City for so many years, but they are all a bunch of short-lived ghosts."
The lifespan of ghosts ranges widely. Some very long-lived ghosts can live for tens of thousands of years, and theoretically can even achieve immortality.
But unfortunately, their Caigui family is not a similar long-lived species. They can reproduce through special means, but their own lifespan is only three or four hundred years.
Moreover, their bloodline is quite overbearing, and they are reproductively isolated from many long-lived ghost species, so they are unable to produce offspring.
Therefore, they need to be passed down in the form of a family.
Family inheritance also has its advantages, which is that it is stable enough. There are always one or two powerful people in each generation who can carry the weight.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The old city lord suddenly coughed a few times, and his old bones were creaking, like an old ship that had been neglected for a long time, was rotten and about to be unable to bear the weight.
Once, like countless members of the Caigui family, he tried to find a way to prolong his life, but to no avail.
This is a very difficult topic. Generations of the Caigui family have worked hard but have not been able to produce any decent results.
As he continued to have no success and gradually grew older, he no longer thought about this matter. If he couldn't prolong his life, then he couldn't do it, but at least he had to prepare for his funeral.
He began to look for an heir for the Caigui family and a new mayor for Huicheng.
During this process, the Fortune Ghost came into his sight, and with his ability of fortune, he quickly conquered the old city lord.
The old city lord muttered to himself: "The Fortune Ghost is a very good rough jade. He has a very good foundation and his abilities are perfect for the position of the city lord of Gray City."
"It's a pity, because things have been too smooth along the way, and my temperament still needs to be polished."
In fact, he didn't care at all whether the wealth ghost and the female ghost named Xiao Cui could get together. As long as he did his job well, he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't bother to care about such trivial matters.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the Fortune Ghost gradually started to become corrupt, and all he thought about every day was love affairs and how to create romance, which was not something a qualified city lord needed to consider at all.
"I don't have much time left. I don't have that much time to slowly train him. I can only say that my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
If you teach a ghost something, it won’t work. But if you teach a ghost something, it will learn it.
He estimated that the Wealth Ghost would have to suffer a serious setback before he could truly change, mature, and act like a city lord.
At this time, a ghost rushed in in a panic, shouting as he rushed in: "Oh no! Oh no! The fortune ghost is dead!"
The old city lord's face turned gloomy, like a volcano about to erupt: "What did you say?"
The ghost spoke quickly and repeated in more detail: "Just now, the Fortune Ghost went to the Grand Assembly Street for a date, and then suddenly several powerful ghosts rushed out to assassinate him! We didn't have time to rescue him, and the Fortune Ghost was killed!"
"Now, the ghosts that have been strengthened by the wealth ghost are slowly losing strength." The old city lord was so angry that his hands were shaking, but he still tried to maintain his calm on the surface: "Okay, I understand, I will take care of this matter."
On the one hand, he was so angry that why did he go to a big gathering for a date? Even if he went, why didn't he bring bodyguards to ensure his safety? In the end, he got himself killed.
On the other hand, they were also angry at those daring assassins who dared to openly assassinate the Fortune Ghost on their territory!
This is totally disregarding their Caigui Family! It is so arrogant!
The old city lord had a cold look in his eyes. He wanted to use his last time to find these maniacs and make them die miserably.
When he left the City Lord's Mansion, several fierce ghosts under his command had been waiting for a long time.
In addition, there are also fierce ghosts following the ghost of wealth.
They shouted loudly: "Lord City Lord! We must avenge Lord Fortune Ghost!"
"Revenge for the Fortune Ghost!"
"Kill those damn assassins!"
"Tear them into pieces!"
……
The old city lord glanced at these people, took a deep breath, and said, "Follow me to avenge the fortune ghost!"
After saying that, he got into a black car.
Naturally, he would not be so arrogant as to go and seek revenge himself. Although he was stronger than the Fortune Ghost, his strength was limited. Two fists could not beat four hands. In addition, he was old and weak. If he chased after them himself, he would most likely be beaten to death by those people.
Even if he wanted to seek revenge, he had to bring the powerful ghosts of the Caigui family with him.
The other ghosts also got on their own vehicles, more than 20 vehicles, and left the wealthy ghost family in a mighty procession.
The old city lord sat in the co-pilot seat and asked, "Where are those assassins now? Can we still locate them?"
A ghost at the back said, "After those assassins killed Lord Wealth Ghost, they hijacked a bus. We can locate the bus and it is fleeing Gray City at the fastest speed."
The old city lord sneered: "Haha! It seems that these assassins want to escape to Black City or White City for refuge. Unfortunately, they probably don't know how far Gray City is from Black City and White City!"
The driver asked, "Should we go to the big bazaar first, or go directly after the bus?"
The old city lord thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's go to the big market first. It won't take a while."
He still held on to a tiny bit of hope in his heart, maybe the fortune ghost was not dead yet!
In addition, he was also considering another thing, that is, if the wealth ghost really died, who should be entrusted with the position of city lord.
Names flashed through his mind one by one, and finally, one name settled on him: "Help me find the phone number of the money-grubbing ghost."
If the Wealth Ghost is really dead, then the Money Ghost is also a good choice. Although his abilities are average, he is much more mature in doing things than the Wealth Ghost.
In other words, if he were to become the city lord, his upper limit might be far lower than that of the Wealth Ghost, but his lower limit would be higher than that of the Wealth Ghost.
Secretary Ghost: "Found it. Do you want to call the Financial Ghost now?"
The old city lord: "Let's go to the big market first, and then contact the money-making ghost later."
These past two days have been filled with misfortunes. I went to the hospital to check my teeth. I had two wisdom teeth to be extracted, thirteen teeth to be filled, and at least two teeth to be root canaled and crowned... I paid the price for not paying attention to oral hygiene before. Then I caught a cold again, and my head was dizzy...
