"...I wasn't doing anything inappropriate. I was just hugging my pillow. It's not inappropriate no matter how I hug it."
"Huh, when did I become a body pillow? How come I didn't know... Wait, Eileen, we have work tomorrow, work!"
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the outer ring road.
After Lucius left, only Covey and Perlman remained in the vast desert.
Suddenly, Covey patted Perlman on the shoulder, and Perlman instantly trembled all over, his lips quivering uncontrollably.
"Tonight's moon is as white as TOPS Financial's wallet; look at the emptiness inside, doesn't it resemble the color of blood splattered with the stench of money? Hmm? Mr. Perlman?"
Covey swirled his glass, gazing at the rich, red liquid inside, then suddenly turned to look at Perlman.
"No...no, no, that's the pure white and red that vampires cherish most! No...don't come any closer! I've already said it, I've already given the correct answer! Don't come any closer! I beg you!"
Perlman, head slumped, nodded subconsciously in agreement when he heard Covey's question.
But the next second he suddenly realized what Kovi had asked and quickly turned to look at Kovi.
However, Covey had already put on a gentle smile, but to Perlman, it was no different from that of a murderer!
No, even the most ruthless murderer in history couldn't compare to Kovi in front of him. He practically turned torture into an art form; even Satan himself would have to kneel on the ground and pull out a parchment to take notes.
Poor Perlman, having completely lost his former pride, suddenly screamed and desperately tried to run away the moment he saw Cove slowly stand up.
However… before he could run two steps, Perlman suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from his back, and his vision blurred as the soft sand seemed to get closer and closer to him.
puff!
Perlman fell into the sand, and Covey stepped on his back.
"Oh dear, it seems Mr. Perlman is still unwilling to cooperate. It seems he hasn't had enough of the electrotherapy package. How about we change things up tonight? I just happened to spot quite a few snakes and carnivorous lizards on the outer ring road."
"Then I'll hang you up and put you in the cave. I'll let you witness a dance of snakes and lizards firsthand?"
"Or, I could go to a beggar's den on the outer ring road, find a beggar who is starving and on the verge of death, feed him some small pills that make people crave tenderness. Then I could smear honey and perfume on you."
"You tell me, will that greedy, tender-hearted, starving beggar eat you first... or will he eat you first? I'm really curious, Mr. Perlman... Oh? Excuse me, I got a call, we'll talk later."
Kove finally stopped his tirade. Perlman was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, each vein filled with terror.
The saddest thing is that Kovi is still standing on his back, and he has no chance of escaping.
So he could only lie there and passively listen to Kovi make the phone call.
[Hello, Bourne?]
"Yes, the plan is progressing smoothly, but Mr. Perlman is still a bit uncooperative. I'll do my best to train him. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now... Wait a minute!"
[Bourne, I suddenly remembered that Hols seems to be on the outer ring too. He knows some of our tribe's secrets. What if he comes to stop us? Oh, the tribe was prepared? That's good. Bye.]
Beep beep~
After hanging up the phone, Kovi was all smiles again.
Without anyone noticing, he produced a collar and slowly slipped it around Perlman's neck, speaking softly:
“Mr. Perlman, after much thought, let’s start with electrotherapy. We’ll help you cure your illness that prevents you from pledging allegiance to the vampire clan.”
"In addition, we will bestow upon you a loyal character and an unyielding soul, so that even under immense pressure, you will still steadfastly reveal the truth of the matter."
The words fell lightly, and Perlman's eyes instantly widened in fury. The veins on the back of his hands bulged, and he frantically clawed at what lay ahead, digging hole after hole until his fingertips bled!
But he still refused to give up, desperately trying to escape, shouting and begging for mercy:
"No, no! Let me go, let me go! Or please don't hurt me, I'll do anything you say, anything!!!"
"Really?" Kovi suddenly asked, pausing in his hand movements.
Perlman's fleeing movements suddenly halted. Seeing that the situation seemed to have changed, his mood abruptly shifted from fear to extreme excitement. Even the paleness on his face turned rosy in an instant, and he exclaimed excitedly:
"Of course, I promise, I promise to obey all the arrangements of the vampire clan!"
“Okay.” Kovi nodded with a smile. “I’ll take you to find a sow later, and you’ll have to bear her offspring. And at the end, tell your future wife ‘I love you.’”
In an instant, Perlman's face turned deathly pale, his mood plummeted to rock bottom, and his expression became blank.
He paused for a moment.
So Covey, a top-notch lawyer, took on the role of a sorcerer and found him guilty.
"It's a pity you still haven't learned loyalty."
Kovi shook his head, feigning regret.
The next second, he put the collar on Perlman despite his struggles.
Click~
As a metallic clang rang out, Perlman's eyes reddened, and he struggled to speak:
"Wait, I was just a beat slow to react. I'm willing, I really am willing! Let's go find the sow right now, okay? I love sows the most! Please, please!"
“Okay, but the sow should be scheduled after electrotherapy, snakes and lizards, and the starving beggar.”
Covey smiled and nodded, finally removing his foot from Perlman's back, and pulled a button from inside his suit jacket.
Sizzle~
"ah!!!!!"
The pig-like screams echoed across the vast desert.
Covey laid a blanket down, lay back, and gazed at the starry sky, swirling a wine glass in his right hand, the scarlet, transparent liquid swirling within, while Perlman's wailing filled his ears.
"Beautiful and decadent music."
Kovi took a small sip of the wine, then gave the other half to Sha Hai, sharing the joy of taking another step forward together.
"With Mr. Perlman's loyalty, the plan has taken another step forward."

(Ahem! I rushed to finish 4,000 words today, so don't say it's too short!)
(And one more thing, when I woke up this morning and looked at the comments section, I suddenly realized I've aged several thousand years.)
(This won't do. Although all my readers live to be a hundred, a hundred years isn't enough. The author is being generous and will add another hundred years to your lives!)
May all my book lovers live to be two hundred years old!!!
