Chapter 66 Liar

"Those carriages, those are the carriages that took my money!"

Baldy Brother instantly got excited and rushed towards the carriages.

However, before he could touch them, he scurried back, squealing.

A dark figure was crawling out of the crematorium entrance. With only two and a half limbs left, it was Sweetie, the actress the firefighter uncle had pulled from the fire that day.

As soon as Sweetie crawled out, the carriages loaded with gold and silver followed her. Wherever Sweetie crawled, the carriages followed.

"Ghost! There's a ghost!" Baldy Brother was so scared he couldn't speak properly.

Even though Cremation Sister worked at the crematorium, she couldn't quite handle the scene. She trembled as she asked me what was going on. The female celebrity was dead, the coroner had issued a death certificate, so how could she still be crawling around?

Instead of answering Cremation Sister, I broke off a thick branch from a tree and handed it to Baldy Brother. "Go, beat that monster to death and get your gold and silver back."

"Master, are you kidding me? Shouldn't you be doing this kind of thing?"

I said, "It's not that I can't, but those carriages are carrying a lot of wealth. Whoever gets it, keeps it. If you don't mind giving your fortune to me, I can go and snatch it."

"Give it here!" Baldy Brother snatched the branch. Although he was still unsteady and his legs were shaking, he bravely went to fight.

I glanced at Cremation Sister behind me. "What about you? Aren't you going to join the fun?"

"Master, is this really the time for jokes?" Cremation Sister shrank back.

I said, "I'm not joking. Didn't I just say? That wealth doesn't belong to anyone in particular. Whoever gets it, keeps it. If you get it, maybe your positions will be reversed."

"M-Master is joking," Cremation Sister said, avoiding my gaze.

I didn't say anything more.

Sweetie wasn't very strong. Baldy Brother only swung the branch a few times before she gave up resisting and lay obediently on the ground. Although her face was still as hideous as before, her eyes became pitiful, and she whimpered as if begging Baldy Brother for mercy.

Baldy Brother's eyes flickered, perhaps remembering their past love. But even the most unforgettable love couldn't compare to his fortune. Taking advantage of Sweetie's lack of resistance, Baldy Brother raised the branch and smashed it down on Sweetie's head a few times. Sweetie finally stopped moving completely, and the carriages carrying the wealth stopped behind Baldy Brother.

"Master, what do we do next?" Baldy Brother dragged his luxurious wealth back to me.

I said, "There's nothing to do. The matter is settled. Your wealth is back, and as long as the wealth is back, riches won't be a problem.

"Dragging so many luxurious wealth-transporting carriages, don't even mention doing business. Even buying a lottery ticket will win you five million. Even just walking down the street, you'll pick up a big wallet. In a month or two, your fortune will be back in your hands.

"Sweetie thought she could completely take your wealth away by faking her death, but she was still one step short. We chased her to the crematorium. She ruined her own skin for nothing, and in the end, she got nothing. Let her regret it."

With a wave of my hand, Sweetie's charred corpse burst into flames and turned to ashes in a few minutes.

Watching Sweetie burn, Cremation Sister breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had finally been lifted from her shoulders.

Baldy Brother scratched his bald head, still a little doubtful.

I patted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't rush you to settle the bill now. I'll wait a month. After a month, you can count whether your wealth has fully returned.

"If your wealth has all returned to your hands, then you can pay me. If it hasn't all returned, even if it's just a dollar short, you don't have to pay me anything."

Seeing my confidence, Baldy Brother was slightly relieved.

Then, I turned to Cremation Sister with a smile. "Let's go, let's celebrate. The wealth has returned, so we have to spend some money."

As soon as I mentioned spending money, both of them looked a little awkward. Baldy Brother kept winking at me.

Cremation Sister said considerately, "I don't think so. Although the wealth has returned, it doesn't mean the money has returned. Wealth can't be used to pay the bill directly. It wouldn't be good if we couldn't pay after eating and having fun."

Cremation Sister was so considerate, Baldy Brother was even more embarrassed, not even daring to look at her.

"Really?" I said exaggeratedly, "Our big tycoon here did encounter some accidents recently and was tricked out of some money by that glamorous little star, but he hasn't become a pauper, has he? You don't think our tycoon brother is so poor that he can't even afford a night out? Who told you that?"

"This?" Cremation Sister stammered.

She and Baldy Brother hadn't been in contact for quite some time. Baldy Brother liked the new and abandoned the old. With the glamorous little star, how could he remember her, the Cremation Sister? Her understanding of Baldy Brother's situation during this time was limited to Baldy Brother's own account just now.

But just now, Baldy Brother had clearly said that he had been cheated by Sweetie and lost nearly half of his wealth, but he never said that he was penniless. Moreover, Baldy Brother was still wearing a big gold chain and a big gold watch, driving a luxury car and wearing designer clothes. He still looked every bit the rich man. Cremation Sister shouldn't have known that he was heavily in debt.

"That's right, who told you that I'm so poor that I can't even afford a night out? I did encounter some accidents. I was cheated by that stinky girl. My ranking on the rich list has dropped a few places, but I haven't been squeezed off the rich list, have I?" Baldy Brother puffed out his belly, resolutely refusing to admit that he was poor.

I also smiled and waited to see how Cremation Sister would explain.

"Why, why do you have to do this? We've known each other for more than a day or two. Don't I understand you? You're only saying those words to comfort me, afraid that I'll leave you too.

"All along, you've thought that I'm like Sweetie, that I'm only after your money. But I'm really different from them. My love for you has nothing to do with whether you're rich or poor. Even if you can't get your wealth back, even if you really become a penniless pauper, I'm willing to follow you."

As she spoke, Cremation Sister's tears fell like rain.

Incredible, truly incredible. Her acting skills could rival Bai Tingting.

Baldy Brother was really fooled by her. He took Cremation Sister's hand and was about to make vows of eternal love.

I shook my head in frustration. How could he become a rich man when he was so easily deceived?
