Cao Kun responded without showing any expression.
Chariz handed over the bag he was carrying: "These are the leftover steaks for Lucy."
“Thank you, Theron. You’re not only beautiful, but you’re always so kind.” Mrs. Roman accepted the gift.
"Then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye, Mrs. Roman."
Goodbye, Theron. Goodbye, Cao.
The two turned and left. After they had gone some distance, Chariz asked, "So, is there a problem?"
Cao Kun: "At present, there seems to be no problem."
Charlize breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you you were overthinking it."
Cao Kun: "But if they can afford a house like that, they must be rich at the very least. Why would they need their neighbor's leftovers? That's very suspicious."
“You don’t know,” Charitz explained, “that’s because their child and his family of three tragically died in an accident.”
The party responsible for the accident paid them a large sum of money, which enabled them to afford this place.
But their old habits remained unchanged.
“That sounds reasonable,” Cao Kun said. “This old lady seems very kind, but I still don’t like her.”
I feel like something's not quite right about this.
Charlize unconditionally trusted Cao Kun: "Then what should we do?"
Cao Kun: "The simplest way is to eliminate them."
“This isn’t right. They didn’t do anything to us. Just because they’re suspicious, we should…” Chariz’s face paled. “They’re already pitiful enough. Let’s just let them go.”
Cao Kun: "Then I'll have to make you spend some money."
Charlize: "How much?"
Cao Kun: "Friendly price, 1 million."
Charlize: "I have no problem with you taking money, but can we change the terms of friendship?"
Cao Kun: "What's the price for a casual sex relationship?"
Chariz rolled his eyes: "Let's keep the price as a friend."
After Chariz agreed to pay, Cao Kun set up a magic array in Chariz's house.
This formation has only one function: it will trigger an alarm if any negative energy exceeding a certain limit enters her home.
At the same time, Cao Kun was also able to sense it.
Negative energy is everywhere.
For example, when people are angry or in a bad mood, they can generate negative energy.
However, this level of negative energy will not trigger the formation.
Only negative energy that is malicious and capable of harming a person can activate the formation.
After listening to Cao Kun's explanation, Charitz asked, "How do I call the police?"
Cao Kun gave Charitz a pendant: "If you wear it and negative energy enters it, it will glow and heat up, and you will know immediately."
Charlize took it and saw that it was a small jade tablet with nothing on it.
She put it around her neck, looked at herself in the mirror, and said, "It doesn't look very good. Can you change the style?"
Cao Kun: "What kind of person do you want?"
Chariz thought for a moment: "Sculpt a miniature figure in your likeness."
Cao Kun was taken aback: "You haven't fallen in love with me, have you?"
Chariz stared intently at Cao Kun: "Is that not allowed?"
Cao Kun: "This is your right."
Seeing that Cao Kun did not respond directly, Charitz was somewhat disappointed and said, "Can you consider this my New Year's gift?"
Cao Kun agreed.
He took out a small piece of fine jade, then took out a carving knife and began carving on the spot.
Having gained experience in making array objects, his carving skills had long since become superb, no less than those of jade carving masters.
Soon, a tiny miniature figure, about the size of a finger joint, appeared in Cao Kun's hand.
Looking closely at this little figure, it's impossible to tell who it resembles.
However, from a distance, the overall impression is somewhat similar to that of Cao Kun himself.
Charlize happily accepted it, took out a platinum chain, put it on, and hung it around his neck.
She looked in the mirror and immediately smiled, saying, "This looks good."
Cao Kun: "Take it down first, and then you need to combine it with the formation before it can work."
A few minutes later, Cao Kun handed it to Charitz again: "It's ready."
Chariz immediately put it back around his neck.
Charlize looked in the mirror for a while, then said, "Could you make me another one?"
Cao Kun: "This thing doesn't break that easily, and you won't need too much of it."
Charlize: "It's different. This time I want a big one, about 20 centimeters long, but not too thick. The foot area should be easy to hold."
Cao Kun's expression immediately turned strange. He stared at Chariz and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Charlize countered, "What do you think?"
Cao Kun: "I didn't realize you were a bit rebellious."
"Can I?" Chariz began to whine.
Cao Kun also felt a bit mischievous: "Okay."
This time, Cao Kun took out a large piece of jade and began to carve it.
With his carving knife, a jade carving just like his own quickly appeared before Charitz.
Just like Charlize's requirements, it should be about 20 centimeters long, not too thick, and fit snugly at the calf.
Charlize's eyes lit up, and he grabbed it, saying, "Come on, let's give it a try."
The next morning, Cao Kun prepared to leave.
Charlize called out to him, "You gave me a New Year's present yesterday, but I haven't given you mine yet."
Cao Kun: "What have you prepared for me this time?"
Charlize handed Cao Kun a beautifully packaged box.
When Cao Kun opened it, he found a key to a Land Rover SUV.
Charlize: "I see you often drive that off-road pickup truck, so you must like all-terrain vehicles."
However, there are places where pickup trucks are inconvenient to go, but this Land Rover Defender is a perfect solution.
The car's in the garage. Let's go check it out.
Charlize took Cao Kun's arm and they went to the garage together.
I saw that brand new Land Rover Defender.
Its boxy shape and tall body give it a strong sense of power.
Cao Kun: "No wonder you told me to park my car outside yesterday; it turns out you were waiting for me here."
Charlize smiled and said, "Do you like it?"
Cao Kun nodded, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
Charlize has a queen-like appearance, which is why she has earned the nickname "Queen of the Rings".
But deep down, there lives a little woman.
I like dolls and I like giving gifts to people I like.
She can even act cute and affectionate.
But I have to admit, it feels pretty good.
Unlike Angelina and Winona, who only know how to do *that*.
Cao Kun's gaze fell on the little figure pendant around Charitz's neck: "Give me this."
"What are you doing?" Chariz asked, puzzled, as he took it off and handed it to Cao Kun.
"It suddenly occurred to me that this thing can be improved."
Cao Kun wasn't in a hurry to leave.
He took the pendant into the house and began to add a small array to it.
It took Cao Kun more than an hour to succeed.
However, this thing was too small, and the space for its use was limited, so Cao Kun only added a protective array to the pendant.
It means that when danger arises, he can shield Charlize from one disaster.
But then, the pendant will also break.
When the pendant was handed back to Charitz, Charitz noticed that it seemed to have acquired a different flavor.
But she couldn't say exactly what it was.
Anyway, the more I look at it, the more I like it.
She put it back on and snuggled into Cao Kun's arms: "Can we not leave today?"
