Chapter 807 Still Stubborn

“Alright! If you say there are no ghosts in this world, then so be it! But if a ghost tries to climb on you and kill you again, don't expect me to help. After all, there are no ghosts, right?" Daniel said cheerfully.

"There are no ghosts! It was just a hallucination! All of it! Where are the ghosts? Ghosts don't exist!" Nathan's tone remained as stubborn as ever.

“A hallucination? Nathan, you're saying that little boy was a hallucination?" Daniel asked.

"What else could it be? If it were a real ghost, would I still be alive? And if it was a ghost, shouldn't it still be here?"

Nathan was confident now that the ghost had been eliminated, so he wasn't scared of seeing another one. There was no way he could be so unlucky to encounter two ghosts in one night, right?

“Nathan, you can say that now, but if you run into another ghost later and want me to save you, it's going to cost you. I'll deduct it straight from your salary, and Perry here will transfer it to me. I'll only charge you ten grand per rescue!" Daniel turned to Perry with a grin and asked, "Perry, how does that sound?"

"Sounds good! Let's do it your way!" Perry agreed without hesitation. He didn't care about the money, especially after witnessing that terrifying ghost himself. On Golden Light Hill, he had to follow Daniel's lead.

Besides, he needed Daniel's help to save his daughter.

Daniel's earlier showdown with the ghost had left Perry impressed. A ghost so frightening, his face half rotted away with maggots, and yet Daniel dealt with it effortlessly with just a tree branch.

"Daniel, when you took out that ghost, you only used a tree branch. Does that mean if we encounter another ghost, we can just use a tree branch to fight it off too?" Perry asked curiously.

"I can do it, but you guys can't!" Daniel replied bluntly.

"Oh!" Perry acknowledged, while Nathan silently picked up a tree branch and held it in his hand.

Nathan thought to himself, his

strength must be greater than this so-called hick's. If Daniel could kill a ghost with a small branch, then so could he! Ebookex.com

With renewed confidence, Nathan was no longer worried. Even if he encountered another ghost tonight he wouldn't be afraid. He held a branch from the very tree Daniel had used and it was both larger and thicker.

So, even if the next ghost was more powerful than the last, he'd be able to handle it.

Seeing Nathan clutching a tree branch, Daniel immediately understood his intentions.

"Nathan, why are you holding that tree branch? Are you planning to use it to fight ghosts?" Daniel asked with a friendly grin.

"Fight ghosts? What are you talking about? There are no ghosts in this world!" Nathan continued to deny stubbornly.

"Then why are you holding that branch?” Daniel pressed.

Nathan, caught off guard by the question, hesitated but quickly tried to muster a response that would keep up his façade, knowing full well that he was clutching onto it for dear life. The nagging what-if questions gnawed at his bravado-could Daniel be right? Could there be more ghosts out here? He wasn't ready to admit it yet, but deep down, the fear was real.
