While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Chris licked her red lips, a glint of money flashing in her eyes: "As Douglas's business partner, how could I not have money?"

While not as wealthy as Douglas, he still has a net worth of several hundred million.

Cao Kun remained silent for a moment.

This is truly like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

He was worried about not having enough money to pay his taxes when he bumped into someone desperate to save his life.

Cao Kun dialed Douglas's number.

"Master Cao! Thank goodness, you finally answered the phone."

Douglas's voice was low, with the background sounds of hurried footsteps and suppressed sobs.

Cao Kun said calmly, "I heard he's still alive, isn't he?"

"They're just hanging on by a thread, kept going by the machines."

Douglas sighed. "The doctor said he won't make it through the night."

Master Cao, could you perhaps use those pills you have...?

"Ordinary elixirs cannot save him."

Cao Kun interrupted him: "If the spine is broken and the internal organs are rotting, it's a situation that even a god couldn't save."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long pause, Douglas asked in a trembling voice, "Then... then there's no hope?"

"No, I have one last way."

Cao Kun walked to the window, looked at the dark, overcast sky in the distance, and said in a cold tone, "But my fees are very high."

"How much? Money is no problem as long as he can be brought back to life," Douglas said eagerly.

Cao Kun said, enunciating each word clearly, "I want half of his fortune."

"half?!"

Douglas gasped. He knew Raymond's net worth; half of it was worth at least $3 million.

"Master Cao, isn't this... too much?"

Cao Kun sneered: "Douglas, you've got one thing wrong."

He is about to die at God's hands, and I am the only one who can snatch him away from God.

Use half the money to save the rest of your life.

If he can't figure this out, then let him die.

The price I paid to concoct these medicines is beyond your imagination.

Douglas remained silent for a long time.

Cao Kun wasn't in a hurry; he knew Douglas would make the communication.

For a billionaire who is about to enter the incinerator, the remaining money is still enough for him to squander for several lifetimes.

"Wait for me for ten minutes."

Douglas said something and quickly hung up the phone.

Less than ten minutes.

Douglas called back.

His wife agreed. The lawyer is already waiting outside the ICU.

"As long as he wakes up and signs, the asset transfer agreement will take effect immediately."

Douglas's voice was tinged with shock, "Master Cao, you are truly the most ruthless player in this world of fame and fortune."

"I'm just a law-abiding businessman."

Cao Kun hung up the phone and looked at Chris: "Let's go, let's go earn our tax money."

………………

Sid Sinai Hospital, top floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Cao Kun heard a noisy argument.

Outside the ICU, several men and women dressed in custom-made suits, looking agitated, surrounded Douglas and a middle-aged woman.

"Douglas, are you crazy, or is my stupid stepmother crazy?"

The white man leading the group was in his early thirties, and his tie was askew on one side.

He roared, spittle flying, "Transfer half of my father's assets to a Chinese charlatan."

"Once this contract is signed, I will immediately apply to the court for a mental evaluation of you!"

A heavily made-up woman next to him shouted, "My father is already brain dead. The doctor said he won't last more than two hours!"

Instead of preparing for a funeral, why would they hire an exorcist at a time like this?

"Are you all so desperate for a share of the money?!"

Douglas's face turned ashen: "Blake, that's your father!"

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up!

"hope?"

Blake sneered, his gaze passing over Douglas.

Just then, I saw Cao Kun walking out of the elevator. "Is that him? This yellow-skinned kid?"

Jack! Get him out of here!

A burly bodyguard immediately stepped forward.

"Yellow-skinned kid, you're not welcome here, get out..."

Jack stretched out his large hand and reached for Cao Kun.

Cao Kun's face darkened, and he stepped back slightly, causing Jack to miss his target.

He had just taken a step, trying to catch up, when suddenly he tripped and fell headfirst to the ground.

boom!

He was tall and robust, and extremely heavy.

He fell and immediately suffered a head injury, his face covered in blood, and he screamed in agony.

Seeing his bodyguard fall to the ground so quickly, incapacitated, Blake's face turned ashen.

"Useless trash," he cursed angrily.

Cao Kun walked over expressionlessly.

Simond's wife, the middle-aged woman with red and swollen eyes, ran over.

Like grasping at a straw, she grabbed Cao Kun's sleeve: "Master Cao, please, go in and save him quickly."

"Get out of my way!" Blake shoved the woman aside and blocked the ICU door.

He stared at Cao Kun with a sinister look in his eyes, "Kid, I don't care what promises Guan Glass made to you."

"I'm in charge here now, and you're not getting a single cent out of here."

Cao Kun stopped in his tracks, slightly raised his eyelids, and said in a cold voice, "You seem to have misunderstood something."

If I can't revive him, the contract won't take effect, and I won't get a single cent.

Blake: "No matter what you say, it's no use. As long as I'm here, you'll never be able to fool my father."

Cao Kun sneered, "Are you in such a hurry to stop me because you're worried I'm a liar, or because you're afraid he'll wake up?"

Not only will you not be able to inherit your father's property immediately, but even if you do inherit it later, the value will be reduced by half?

Blake's face flushed red, and in a fit of rage, he swung his fist at Cao Kun's face: "You liar..."

Cao Kun moved slightly, taking a step forward, but he retreated a great distance.

With a slight flick of his wrist, a paperweight appeared in his hand.

Cao Kun's eyes were icy: "It seems you need to wake up."

Cao Kun's hand trembled slightly.

call--!

The once brightly lit corridor suddenly began to flicker wildly, and the temperature plummeted to freezing point in an instant.

A figure reeking of decay and stench, with distorted features and a face covered in bits of flesh and wriggling maggots...

He appeared out of nowhere in front of Blake, his nose almost touching Blake's.

The fleshy face grinned, revealing its dark purple gums.

He let out a thick, gurgling laugh at Blake, like phlegm stuck in his throat.

"Ah—! A ghost! There's a ghost!"

Blake's fist froze in mid-air.

His eyes widened as he stared at the terrifying body before him, so realistic that even the wriggling maggots were clearly visible…

My crotch got soaked instantly.

"Help! Help!"

The children, who had been so domineering just moments before, were now terrified.

The heavily made-up woman let out a piercing scream...

Wearing high heels, she tripped and fell flat on her face in the hallway, scrambling and crawling towards the elevator.

Blake collapsed to the ground, shuffling backward on his hands and feet, making terrified gurgling sounds in his throat.

In less than ten seconds, the ICU entrance was quiet.

Douglas looked around but saw nothing.

However, he knew Cao Kun's methods and had no doubt about Cao Kun's abilities.

He whispered, "Thank you, Master Cao."
