"Of course not, it's cash on delivery," Qin Feng said with a light laugh.
"I do have some reputation to uphold."
How could I hand over the ghost without getting paid first?
Zhang Feng's expression flickered. To be honest, his previous agreement was just to keep Qin Feng in check. Once they delivered the ghost and returned to the Paranormal Association, he had planned to renege on the payment—unless Qin Feng forced the issue himself.
But now, he hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so clever, pulling this move on him. Truly, you don't act until you see the rabbit.
"Don't worry, you'll get every cent."
At this point, it was better to pay up honestly.
After the hiding ghost was imprisoned, the oppressive darkness that had enveloped the entire Holiday Hotel finally vanished. Although it was still overcast and past five o'clock, the stifling atmosphere had disappeared.
The three walked out of the suite and prepared to take the elevator down. The elevator was safe now.
Along the way, Huang Kai even pulled out his phone to call Li Dahai, and Qin Feng also made a call.
By the time they reached the lobby, the three survivors had already left. Qin Feng didn't mind, only feeling some reflection.
A single Paranormal Incident had ravaged the hotel, which had housed at least two or three thousand people, yet only three survived. Humans really were fragile when facing Paranormal Incidents.
Just as they stepped out of the hotel, they saw Li Dahai standing by his car, his face full of worry. It seemed he already knew what had happened inside the hotel.
So many dead—although the authorities wouldn't make it public, if he wanted to cover up the incident, the hush money alone would cost him dearly.
Fortunately, his resort mainly catered to out-of-town guests, so it wasn't completely ruined.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I've prepared dinner at the club; let's head over now." Li Dahai forced a smile.
"You guys go ahead. I'll wait for my people to arrive first," Qin Feng said.
"Alright, we'll wait then," Li Dahai replied cautiously, not daring to be arrogant in front of Qin Feng.
Zhang Feng and Huang Kai left first.
After a while, several police cars arrived.
"Chief Qin!"
A square-faced middle-aged man in uniform approached Qin Feng.
"Director Gao is here," Qin Feng nodded.
"This time the casualties are quite high," Qin Feng added.
"I've mobilized the entire fire brigade; they're almost here," Director Gao said gravely.
So many deaths—it was the first time something like this happened in Jiangcheng City. Previous Paranormal Incidents, apart from the initial shock where many were killed, usually resulted in people hiding and avoiding mass casualties.
But this time was different. Hiding was a death trap.
It was a cruel irony.
Thankfully, the hiding ghost had been imprisoned.
"I'll leave the rest to you," Qin Feng instructed, exchanging a look with Li Dahai, then drove away.
Li Dahai couldn't boss Director Gao around like Qin Feng could. After some polite exchanges, he left.
Back in the same private room with the two models, Qin Feng also received two bank cards and a permanent VIP card for the club.
Surprisingly, Li Dahai had also paid the twenty million for Zhang Feng.
After Li Dahai's explanation, Qin Feng understood: this Paranormal Association was sponsored by some of Jiangcheng City's wealthiest, serving the elite.
So, when Li Dahai's hotel had trouble, Zhang Feng and Huang Kai immediately came to handle it. Only because this ghost had a Ghost Domain, and other Ghost Tamer members were out on assignments with wealthy clients, did they call Qin Feng in.
Knowing the Paranormal Association's background, Qin Feng couldn't help but marvel at the power of money.
Even the strongest Ghost Tamers needed to eat and enjoy life.
The dinner, accompanied by Li Dahai's rich social skills, lasted more than two hours.
Zhang Feng and Huang Kai left midway with the hiding ghost.
This time, Qin Feng didn't pursue the two models but instead indulged in the decadent luxury.
When he returned home, it was already past midnight.
Sitting on the sofa, Qin Feng took out his contact phone from headquarters and dialed a number.
"Beep! Beep!"
The call was quickly answered.
"Hello, Chief Qin Feng!" A clear, pleasant female voice echoed in his ear.
"Mm, just recording…"
At the Ghost Tamer headquarters, Li Wan'er started the recording and opened the computer files.
"Go ahead, Chief Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng then reported the day's Paranormal Incident:
"Codename: Hiding Ghost. B-level terror severity, possesses a Ghost Domain, its killing pattern…"
He added that the ghost had already been imprisoned by the Paranormal Association's Ghost Tamers first. After all, with two of them, it was natural Qin Feng alone couldn't handle it.
This was also a test for headquarters—to see their attitude toward private actions and tolerance for Ghost Tamers.
"All right, Chief Qin Feng. The Paranormal Association will handle negotiations with headquarters. Based on your report, this hiding ghost will be classified as a B-level incident and officially recorded."
Good! Another ten million earned.
After hanging up, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
This Paranormal Incident couldn't be hidden from headquarters—it was only a matter of time before they found out.
Better to report it directly, gaining both reward and credit, maximizing profit!
Then he calculated the benefits and gains from the hiding ghost incident:
Li Dahai's hiring fee: twenty million.
Selling the hiding ghost: another twenty million.
Completing a B-level Paranormal Incident: ten million.
One B-level achievement added to his record.
Plus, absorbing twenty thousand Detention Points.
Calculating all that, Qin Feng was in high spirits, declaring a big win.
Of course, he still didn't know the price of a ghost on the black market—otherwise, he might not have stopped so easily.
"System, open my personal panel."

[Control over Malevolent Ghosts (3)]: Left Ghost Hand (can be a puzzle piece), Right Ghost Hand (can be a puzzle piece), Ghost Dream (10/100, can be a puzzle piece)
