Chapter 009: Petty

About an hour later, after several refills of coffee, Wang Bo finally finished answering Sharon Vineyard's questions, and at the end he added, “Anything else you don't understand?”

Sharon Vineyard shook her head and said, “I understand everything now.”

Wang Bo smiled and said, “In that case, I'll take you home.”

Sharon Vineyard rubbed her temples and said, “Can I not go back?”

“Why?”

“I already told you, I'm being hunted by the liquor company. If I go back, they'll haunt me like restless spirits. I don't want to die.”

Sharon Vineyard knew very well that although she had almost managed to kill Gin with her Ripple, she was ultimately no match for the organization. If they got serious, killing her wouldn't be difficult.

That was why she was tired of the organization's ways but didn't dare leave.

She didn't even want Gin's people to know about her little moves.

“That's easy to handle…” Wang Bo started to say.

Lady Gremory said, “I can help you, little girl.”

Wang Bo couldn't help but turn his head, his sharp eyes fixed on the stunning red-haired woman—or rather, the female demon.

Sharon Vineyard glanced at the woman in surprise but didn't refuse. After learning about Wang Bo's background, she felt that the woman beside him was certainly no ordinary person.

“How do you plan to help me, madam?”

“I can make a contract with you. If you agree to give me your soul after death, I will allow you to summon my legions to serve you,” Lady Gremory said softly.

“A good deal, isn't it, little girl?”

Sharon Vineyard's face gradually stiffened. “My soul?”

“That's right.” Lady Gremory looked at Sharon Vineyard with a hint of greed. “Calm, composed, intelligent, cruel and vicious, yet kind and grateful—a woman like you, your soul will be popular.”

At that moment, Sharon Vineyard got goosebumps, every hair on her body standing on end. For the first time, she felt that this stunning woman was so dangerous.

Gin, the Boss—they were like children before her.

Sharon Vineyard involuntarily looked at Wang Bo, as if seeking an answer from him.

Who was this woman?

Wang Bo sighed and said, “Let me properly introduce her. This is my contractor, one of the seventy-two pillars of Hell, Duke Gremory, who commands thirty-two demon legions.”

Sharon Vineyard couldn't help but gasp. She had certainly heard of the seventy-two demons of Hell.

But she never imagined she would one day encounter a monster with such an impressive background.

Taking advantage of Sharon Vineyard's gasp, Wang Bo turned and warned, “Lady Gremory, don't get any ideas about Belmod. She's my client, understand?”

Given his current strength, Wang Bo was naturally no match for Lady Gremory.

But he wasn't afraid of her.

First, this wasn't Hell.

Second, Lady Gremory was now his contractor and couldn't actively harm him. If Wang Bo dissolved the contract, she would be immediately sent back to Hell.

So Wang Bo wasn't afraid of Lady Gremory at all.

When he summoned the demon, he had already thought through many things; he wouldn't summon a master to serve.

Lady Gremory smiled slightly, not at all annoyed, and said, “I was only offering a choice to a little girl, since her future is bleak.”

Wang Bo said bluntly, “I'll handle Belmod's future.”

He turned to Sharon Vineyard and said, “If you're afraid to go back, I have a solution. I have the lamp from the Aladdin world. If you make a wish to the genie, you can become a powerful wizard.”

“Gin and the liquor company are formidable, but they're just ordinary people. Once you become a wizard, you won't need to fear a bunch of ordinary people. If you want, you can even destroy the entire liquor company.”

Sharon Vineyard's eyes lit up as she looked at Wang Bo. “Aladdin's lamp? Are you sure?”

“Yes, I'm sure.”

“Good, I agree.” Sharon Vineyard agreed eagerly.

If she could return to her original world, she wouldn't mind. After all, compared to a strange world, her original world suited her better. That's where her friends and close confidantes were, along with years of connections.

Although she didn't mind starting from scratch, if she could go back to her original world,

she wouldn't refuse, and would even be delighted.

Wang Bo said, “Since you agree, let's go.”

He clapped his hands and brought Lady Gremory and Sharon Vineyard back to his mansion.

Sharon Vineyard couldn't help but marvel, “Is this magic?”

“Just one of many things,” Wang Bo said lightly. “Nothing to get excited about, Belmod.”

“But to me, it's already amazing.” She asked eagerly, “Can I make my wish now?”

“Of course.” Wang Bo pulled the lamp genie out of his fourth-dimensional pocket and handed it to her.

Sharon Vineyard, following the method from the fairy tale, rubbed the lamp and summoned the genie.

“State your wish, my master.”

Although the genie had expended a lot of magic in the Spider-Man world, it had now recovered all its power and was once again majestic.

Lady Gremory stared at the genie without blinking, as if probing something.

Wang Bo said, “You can begin.”

Sharon Vineyard said, “I want to become a powerful witch.”

“That's too easy, my master.”

The genie rubbed his hands together, unleashing powerful magic, transforming Sharon Vineyard into a powerful witch. She smoothly mastered many potent spells.

“This is incredible.” Sharon Vineyard felt the surging magic within her. With a slight raise of her hand, a flame burned in her palm, as docile as a pet.

“This is nothing special.” Wang Bo took back the lamp.

Just then, Lady Gremory said, “May I take a look at this lamp?”

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Of course, Lady Gremory.”

After handing the lamp to Lady Gremory, he turned to Sharon Vineyard and said, “Do you want to go back now, or wait a few days?”

Sharon Vineyard said without hesitation, “Now, of course. I can't wait to teach Gin a little lesson.”

As she spoke, an excited and eerie smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Wang Bo sneered inwardly.

Hmph, women—so petty!
