Chapter 124: Original Intention

“You…do you really know these things? And you’re not lying?”

Lauren rolled her eyes brazenly.

“If I were a liar, you would have been cheated out of your money by now. I didn’t do these things for money.”

“If it wasn’t for money, then what else could it be? Master Maverick collects a lot of money from our family every year.”

“I just want everyone to live a good life.”

There were always evil people in this world, and there were always places where the sun could not shine.

What Lauren wanted to do was to eliminate all these evil people, so that all these places would be filled with light.

When Lauren said this, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she agreed to be the Host.

At that time, she was a determined and kind-hearted person.

Of course, two years later, she was still the same.

Her initial intentions had not changed.

Since she knew such a thing was happening, Lauren would not stand by and watch.

After dinner, Lauren specially went to Franklin’s study room to discuss this matter with him.

Of course, Franklin’s first reaction was to reject her suggestion.

“No, didn’t you hear what Quinn said? That place looks so creepy and scary. Besides, you don’t know much about their procedures. What if they hurt you?”

“Franklin, it’s been so many times. Don’t you know how powerful I am? Besides, I just want to take a look.”

Lauren sat on the chair that Franklin had specially made for her. Her little white feet stretched out and swayed.

She had stayed at the Torres Mansion for the past few days with nothing to do, so she felt really bored.

When Quinn mentioned his incident today, she finally felt that she had something to do.

Franklin was holding a black pen in his right hand, while reviewing the documents that his secretary had just sent over.

“Can’t we go to the police?”

“There’s no point in going to the police. There’s definitely no living person in there. The police won’t be able to find anything.”

This was the purpose of Lauren’s existence. There were many things that the people of this world could not touch. Lauren was the only one who knew about these things.

As the linkage between the two worlds, Lauren was responsible for maintaining fairness and justice, and ensuring the peace and security of the two worlds.

The living dead, which was a very large branch, was one of the largest cults in the world.

Many members of primitive tribes still practiced these cult-like rituals.

These living dead would be treated with a special method to maintain their vitals, but they would not be able to wake up.

Their souls would be extracted into a device, and using the blood of the living as a primer, they could make the souls of the living dead work for them.

Of course, the prerequisite was to feed the living dead, by giving them something they liked to eat and feeding them three meals a day like a normal person. Only then would they be willing to work for them.

In a way, the living dead connected the two worlds.

So sometimes, what humans called ‘luck’ was actually achieved through the ‘hard work’ of the living dead.

“And most importantly, if we go to the police and report them, they might kill those living dead who aren’t really dead. Wouldn’t that backfire?”

When talking about such matters, Lauren argued very well, so Franklin had nothing to say.

Franklin smiled and put down the pen in his hand.

“How can you be so brave? When Quinn was your age, he didn’t even dare to go to the toilet alone at night,” said Franklin.

Lauren tilted her head and smiled. Although what she said was often shocking and unbelievable, her eyes were always clear.

“I’m used to it.”

“Well, you see, I have always come back safely after every mission. Moreover, I just want to see it this time to understand the situation, in order to find a solution.”

Franklin shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Lauren would definitely do what she set her mind on doing. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, Lauren would always have a way to convince him.

So, just like every other time, he gave in to Lauren.

“Alright, I’ll agree to it. However, I have one condition.”

“What?! I have to go too? Why?! I don’t want to go to that damn place again.”

Quinn had just taken a shower and was about to play a game to forget about all the horrible things that had happened today when he was called to Franklin’s study room. He also learned that Franklin had assigned him an even scarier mission.

“That place is so creepy. Whoever wants to go can go on their own. Besides, it was Lauren who wanted to go. What does it have to do with me? I’m not going to accompany her!” Quinn protested.
