My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Moreover, I don't want to hurt Phyllis's feelings.

She likes you very much.

Upon hearing Phyllis's name, Juliet calmed down slightly.

"That little girl, she is indeed very cute."

Every time she comes to my shop to have clothes made, she brings me some homemade snacks.

It's such a pity I'll never see her again.

She was silent for a moment before hesitantly speaking.

"However, no matter what I say, you will eventually purify me, won't you?"

Juliet looked at the Soul-Purifying Flame in Otto's hand, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

She could sense the immense power contained within that flame.

Otto could purify himself to the point of complete annihilation at any time, if he so desired.

Otto didn't speak, but responded with silence.

His Soul-Purifying Flame can indeed directly purify the ghost and help her soul return to the divine realm.

Seeing that Otto remained silent, Juliet took it as a tacit admission of her suspicions.

She took a deep breath and then said solemnly.

"Let's make a deal."

At this moment, Juliet's true nature as a merchant gradually emerges.

Even as a ghost, and filled with resentment, she retained her merchant instincts, striving to maximize her own profits.

"Do you want to make another fortune?"

Juliet asked.

Juliet seems to have spotted some opportunities.

Otto merely raised an eyebrow, looking at her with some surprise.

"What's the meaning?"

“I know that bastard Romeo has already run off with my money.”

Juliet said helplessly.

"I hope you can help me find him and then kill him."

I won't let you work for nothing.

In return, I will give you a sum of money.

"Wealth?"

Otto was somewhat doubtful of the ghost's suggestion.

But Juliet offered an explanation.

"As a businessman, I naturally cannot put all my wealth in one place."

I kept a backup plan, hiding some of the money and jewelry in a place that even Romeo didn't know about.

"If you're willing to help me kill Romeo, this entire fortune is yours."

Otto did not respond directly upon hearing this.

As he pondered the pros and cons, he began excavating Juliet's tomb.

This was the first time Otto had ever made a deal with a ghost.

But judging from Juliet's tone, the fortune was indeed substantial.

If he could acquire this wealth, he might be able to get a better suit of armor and a sharper sword.

This will be of great help to his future adventures.

The problem is that Romeo has long since disappeared.

In half a month, he has probably already left the area around Silverfrost City, and may even have left the North.

Finding him is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Just as Otto was hesitating, Juliet seemed to see through his thoughts.

She continued.

"This is just a suggestion."

I won't expect you to definitely find him.

Just search as best you can.

Of course, to show my appreciation, I also included some other details.

"If you could write a letter for me to my family in the South, telling them what I've been through here."

I can get my family to give you a generous reward.

"Just don't purify me right now. Give me some time, let me wait and see what happens to that bastard Romeo."

Juliet is doing everything she can to increase her chances of winning.

She was unwilling to die like this, unwilling to have her soul scattered like this.

She wanted to watch Romeo die before her very eyes.

For this, she was willing to give up everything, whether it was wealth or dignity.

Otto was indeed somewhat tempted by Juliet's proposal.

However, he has a commission to fulfill, and if he cannot resolve the cemetery's anomaly, he will not only lose his commission fee but also damage his reputation within the Adventurers' Guild.

With that in mind, Otto had an idea.

"Ms. Juliet."

Otto stopped shoveling and spoke slowly.

"Are you willing to enter into a contract with me?"

"Contract?"

Juliet was puzzled. What was the other party trying to do?

In response to Juliet's question, Otto simply explained.

“I know a nun who can create contracts with strong binding force.”

We can specify this in the contract.

You must not continue to haunt the cemetery, nor harm any innocent person.

At the same time, you must provide the intelligence and wealth you just mentioned.

And I will be responsible for finding Romeo and killing him to the best of my ability.

Of course, if this matter is beyond my control, or if I discover that Romeo is dead, then this contract will automatically be void.

Otto waved the commission form in his hand and continued.

"My request was simply to resolve the abnormalities in the cemetery, not to purify you."

"As long as you stop causing trouble, the client shouldn't interfere anymore."

After learning from Michael for so long, the first thing Otto realized was that as an adventurer, one must be flexible in thinking.

We cannot always solve problems using conventional methods.

Sometimes, a different approach can lead to better results.

Juliet was taken aback when she heard Otto's suggestion.

Then, she suddenly laughed.

This time, her laughter was no longer mournful, but carried a hint of appreciation.

"Young man, you are more suited to be a businessman than an adventurer."

Seeing that she seemed to be free from leaving the mortal world, Juliet immediately agreed.

"Okay, I promise you."

I am willing to sign this contract with you.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected Juliet to agree so readily.

It seems that her determination to take revenge is indeed very firm.

"That's good."

Otto explained patiently.

"After I get back, I'll go find Una to make the contract."

Then I will come back to find you.

After saying that, he continued digging the tomb.

Juliet stood quietly to the side, watching him.

During the conversation, they talked about their mutual acquaintance, Phyllis, again.

Juliet was deeply impressed by that vibrant and innocent girl.

"That little girl is really sunny."

Juliet said.

“Every time I see her, I feel like all the gloom around me has been swept away.”

She was like a little sun, warming the people around her.

It's such a pity that I'll never see her again.

Oh, right.

Juliet seemed to suddenly remember something and gave Otto some instructions.

“I still have a coat that Miss Phyllis ordered in my tailor shop.”

It's a dark blue wool coat, which I've already finished making.

When you go back, you can bring it to her for me.

Consider this a memento I left for her.

Juliet was meticulous; she had even found evidence for Otto.

This left Otto somewhat puzzled.

How could such a smart woman be so badly fooled by that Romeo bastard?

As if she could read Otto's mind, Juliet shook her head helplessly.

"Sigh, women in the throes of love probably have their IQs reduced to zero."

Looking back now, everything he said was full of holes, yet I didn't doubt a single word he said.

Otto did not respond to Juliet's self-deprecating humor.

He was simply digging the grave with all his might.

Soon, the entire tomb was completely excavated.

Inside lay a decaying corpse.

The corpse's face was smashed to pieces, making it impossible to recognize its features.

Her hands, feet, and limbs were tightly bound by black iron chains engraved with runes, and several iron nails secured her body to the coffin lid.
