Chapter 3

"You dead rubbish, do you know what you are talking about? The Black Gold Ancient Knife? That's the foundation of our Sherlock Family? It helps with wealth and luck. Who are you to deserve such a treasure?"

William patted my face after hearing the voice and helped me straighten the collar of my clothes.

Suddenly, his hands became heavier.

I just looked down.

"Your tail is out, right? Those who wanted to take advantage of the Black Gold Ancient Knife have already been killed. How dare you covet such a treasure?"

"Really? Such a treasure, recognizing a waste like me as its master, I think it's just a pile of scrap metal."

Even the bodyguard sneered and laughed, "He really pretended. No wonder he could fool the old man, he's so bold."

Anne didn't even look at me. Disdain overflowed from the bottom of her eyes.

"Here you go, get out of here." Anne threw the car keys casually and smashed them at my feet.

"I only want the Black Gold Ancient Knife, if you don't give it to me, you will regret it."

Anne was in a bad mood, "Regret it too late? Do you know what you are saying? Well, I want to see how you can make me regret it."

I shook my head, "I wanted to give you a chance, but it seems that there is no need."

I looked at the room.

At this time on weekdays, the knife would have completed the blood sacrifice. Today, this ancient black gold knife was a little irritable. The blade exuded a strong evil spirit. Within three hours, the evil spirit was full and even the gods and ghosts couldn’t save it.

I turned around and left and Anne actually grabbed my arm.

After she reacted, she kept wiping her palms.

"Sign the divorce agreement and we will go to the City Hall to get the divorce certificate in a month."

Looking at the prepared divorce agreement, I signed it without any hesitation.

"You are sensible."

"Can I leave now?"

William said "Get lost!"

"Divorce, how boring?"

William hugged Anne's waist, "Since you can't help with childbirth, it's not too much to ask you to close the door for us?"

Anne seemed to like William very much and she obeyed his words.

She looked back at me, "Help us close the door, from now on, we will go our separate ways."

I was not interested in the first half of her sentence. But the second half.

I looked towards the dog again.

"Did you hear what your lady said?"

They thought I was worse than a dog, so they naturally wouldn't answer me. But it didn’t matter.

"Bridges are bridges, roads are roads. Great, I wish for it."

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I felt the fluctuations of the Black Gold Ancient Knife.

When I walked to the bedroom, I didn't expect the two people to get nervous so quickly.

William looked at me with interest and cursed secretly, "What a waste."

I didn't refute. It was meaningless to argue with a dying person.

The Black Gold Ancient Knife on the knife rack at the door exuded black light.

He was particularly excited when he saw me.

"Take care."

"Hehe, Anne, he is obsessed with that knife. It's better to let him recognize the knife as his father and the dog as his mother."

He didn't know that I said this to them. Then I just slowly close the door.

Through the crack in the door, I looked at the ancient knife full of evil spirits and smiled gently.

Without my blood, this knife could kill one person in one night. Every knife cut the dragon's luck.

After leaving Sherlock's house, I silently turned off my phone.

Then I wish them to be alive and well tonight.
