Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 750

Sylvia’s POV:

Although I could feel Blair’s shocked eyes gawking at me, I ignored him deliberately and walked up to the old man. I slung the bag onto the table and said, “I need you to do something for me. This is the reward.”

Murray scoffed at me disdainfully and then opened the bag. I watched as his eyes widened in stunned disbelief when he saw all the jewelry inside. His mouth was agape, like a man stranded on a deserted island, who hadn’t seen another person in years, suddenly saw a ship full of people to rescue him. “So many invaluable treasures…”

I secretly let out a sigh of relief when I saw his reaction. Fortunately, I had brought some small gifts from Rufus with me before going out, in case of an emergency.

However, even though the reward was bountiful, I was still very nervous because Murray had made it clear that he despised anyone who carried the bloodline of the black witch.

I took a deep breath to strengthen my resolve before I looked at Murray again. However, to my surprise, he put the reward away safely, coughing with embarrassment, and said, “But since you’re just a hybrid, I’m willing to make an exception. It couldn’t hurt to just have a talk, right?”

I was rendered speechless.

I found the old man quite amusing. Luckily for me, the old man had a penchant for wealth. It saved me the trouble of having to persuade him.

I looked back at Blair, gesturing at him with my eyes to give us a moment as I wanted to speak with the old man alone.

Murray was quite helpful as he waved his hand at Blair, driving him away.

Blair wanted to stay and listen in on our conversation, but Murray ordered his dog to stand guard at the door.

As soon as it was just the two of us, I didn’t bother to beat around the bush any longer. I took out the magic bug left by Noreen straightaway and asked, “Do you know what this is?”

Unexpectedly, Murray’s face changed dramatically. “How did you come across this?”

Then he grabbed my hand and his voice rose. “What’s your relationship with Noreen?”

I shook off Murray’s hand and calmly said, “I asked you a question! I have paid you a hefty sum for an answer!”

Murray laughed grimly, emitting a frightening aura from him. “Of course, I know what that is. I can also smell Noreen’s scent on it.” There used to be bad b***d between me and her in the past.”

However, I was feeling impatient and I didn’t want to know about what happened between Murray and Noreen. I just wanted know if he could help me refine the magic bug. I was very unlucky to have bumped into Noreen’s enemy.

Damn it! Indeed, this was such an unfortunate turn of events.

“I don’t know who that is.” I lied casually and pretended to know nothing.

Obviously, the old man didn’t believe it. He snorted coldly, “If you don’t know Noreen, how did you come across a bug she had made? You should at least do some research if you’re going to lie to me. Little girl, you are still too young and naive. Don’t worry. I will give you a quick death.”

As he spoke, a crystal ball with black smoke appeared in his hand. He glared at me angrily and said, “Since you’re one of Noreen’s friends, I would be doing the world a favor by killing you.”

A gust of strong wind blew in my face as the crystal ball in Murray’s hand grew bigger and bigger. Slowly, the black smoke enveloped the old man’s body like a predator eating its prey whole.

I could tell that Murray was hell-bent on killing me just by looking at his eyes.

Just as he was going to throw the crystal ball at me, I quickly said, “All right! I’ll tell you the truth! I came across this bug by accident. I wouldn’t be stupid enough to show up here if I were Noreen’s friend. Moreover, I wouldn’t have come to you asking about the bug. I would have asked Noreen about it directly! Why would I willingly waste my time and money by bringing you so much jewelry for your help?”
