Chapter 280: Catherine's Plan
In the evening, at New York's oldest Francis's Tavern, Catherine, the witch of desire, sits at a dining table, admiring the endless stream of cars and crowds outside the glass window.
After a long while, she turned her head and asked the girl next to her who looked seven or eight points similar to herself: "Elizabeth, do you know why I chose you to be the heir to the property, and not your irresponsible parents, or other brothers and sisters?"
"No, I don't know, grandmother. The blonde girl shook her head slightly.
To be precise, before the lawyer and related agencies came to her door, she always thought that she was an orphan without any relatives, and she had to do everything she could to work and earn money in addition to studying every day, otherwise she would be punished by not having anything to eat.
Perhaps in many film and television works, children who are sent to foster homes can always find adoptive parents who really love them, but in reality, many American foster families are quite bad, and some are even just to defraud the government of cash and various food subsidies.
Unfortunately, Elizabeth lived in the harsh environment of the latter, having to do all kinds of household chores from the age of eight, and leaving the home to do odd jobs at the age of twelve.
If it weren't for the fear of being sued by child protection agencies, her adoptive parents would have forced her to join the ranks of street girls, exchanging her young and beautiful body for a lot of money.
Just when the girl was secretly preparing to save some money to escape from this hell on earth, fate suddenly took a turn, she suddenly had a fairly wealthy grandmother, and left a will to make her the heir to the property.
When she learned that the total value of the fortune was likely to exceed $70 million, she felt like her heart was going to stop.
The most important thing is that through DNA testing, the two do have a very close blood relationship.
Catherine is also very good to girls, whether it is the designer women's clothes and shoes she wears, or the considerable amount of pocket money, which is enough to prove that she has completed the transformation from "ugly duckling" to "white swan".
Although she didn't quite understand why her young grandmother, who seemed to be only between twenty and thirty years old, suddenly needed an heir to her fortune, her difficult childhood made her realize that there could never be a free lunch in this world, and that there must be a price to be paid for the incomparably superior life at the moment......
Sensing the resoluteness in the girl's eyes, Catherine nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are really smart and sensible. In fact, the reason for choosing you is very simple, I am dying. ”
"Die!!" Elizabeth had an incredulous look on her face.
She couldn't believe that her grandmother, who was sitting next to her with a young appearance, a sexy body, and a mature temperament, could say that she was going to die, maybe the two looked more like a pair of beautiful sisters to outsiders.
"Yes, please don't be fooled by my appearance, in fact, I am in my fifties, and I rely on some mysterious power to maintain my beauty, but this power is not unlimited, and it will not be long before I will be controlled, old and ugly, and eventually die. I want to leave everything I have to you before I die. Catherine stroked the girl's hair gently, and her tone was full of sincerity.
"Maintaining beauty with mystical powers?" Elizabeth blinked in surprise.
"Hehe, that's right. You don't know it, but I'm a witch, and you're a descendant of a witch, with magical blood in your veins. All it takes is a specific ritual activation to gain unparalleled power. With that, Catherine tapped a finger on the table.
Moment!
All the cups, plates, knives, and forks on the table slowly floated out of thin air, and although they were only less than a centimeter away from the table, they still made the girl's eyes widen and stare at this incredible scene.
It took a minute for Elizabeth to come back to her senses, and she exclaimed in a hurried tone, "Oh my God......! How did you do that?"
Catherine waved her fingers and let everything fall silently, and replied with a smile: "It's the power of the bloodline!"
"Of course, can I be a witch too?" said Elizabeth, clenching her fists excitedly.
"That's right, my dear, you can be a witch too, and that's why I'm bringing you to this restaurant today. To become a witch, you first have to find a real male wizard and then tempt him to help you make the transition from girl to woman. This process may take days, weeks, months, years. Wait until you've sucked enough mana out of him to activate the abilities hidden in his bloodline. Catherine explained half-truthfully.
"You...... You mean, I'm going to seduce a guy into bed?" asked Elizabeth, stammering.
Obviously, she didn't have any experience with this for the time being, and she didn't know what to do at all.
"Relax, I'll take care of everything for you, you just have to treat it as if it were an ordinary relationship. Trust me, you're going to like him, even fall in love with him......" Catherine's pupils flashed a purple light, followed by a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth.
But the smile comes and goes quickly.
When she saw Zhang Cheng walking in from the main entrance, she immediately put on another face, raised her arm elegantly and beckoned: "My dear, here, I've been waiting for you for a while." ”
"Sorry ma'am, there were a lot of accidents last night and I need a good rest. Zhang Cheng unceremoniously sat down to defend his tardiness.
In fact, he was late mainly because of the delay in studying the cursed wound on Miles' granddaughter.
You must know that the mages of the world of Azeroth have always been very good at lifting all kinds of curses, coupled with the skill given by the mage template - lifting secondary curses is clearly marked that it can lift all forms of magic curses, so he couldn't help but give it a try.
It doesn't matter if you don't try it, you will be shocked if you try it.
Lifting the secondary curse did dispel the mysterious energy near the wound in the first few seconds, but within half a minute, a new wave of energy would emerge, no matter how many times it was dispelled, this thing would return to its original state, just like a Xiao Qiang who couldn't be killed.
In the end, a lot of time was wasted, and the agreed hour was missed unconsciously.
"It's okay, I understand. After all, Patty's madness is obvious to all, and her death is not a bad thing for everyone. Okay, let's not talk about these uninteresting things today, come, let me introduce to you, this is my long-lost relative, her name is Elizabeth, I hope you can give her more attention in the future. As she spoke, Catherine gestured to the girl, who had fallen into a complete stupe.
Zhang Cheng subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.
Because the moment he saw Elizabeth, he felt that his cold heart suddenly surged with a warm current, as if the world had added a color out of thin air......
