Chapter 2
When Harold was still alive, he was the presence of the King of Hell in City W. He had a violent temper, and he could kill people without batting an eye. As long as his name was mentioned, everybody would be scared to death. Although he was dead now, his portrait still exuded a murderous aura that people didn’t dare to look directly at it.
But still, Harold was very handsome!
The black-and-white portrait couldn’t hinder his handsome face and his beautiful eyes. Crystal noticed a mole at the corner of his left eye.

She thought that the other party was a staff of the White family. When she slowly opened her eyes, she realized that it was a really handsome staff. His voice was also pleasant to the ear. “Who told you to steal my offerings? Don’t you know the rules?”
His offerings?
Weren’t these the offerings for Harold White?
Did this person just lie to her? Or…
Crystal slowly looked at the man in front of her. He was really tall.
He had slender legs, wearing a white shirt that outlined his wide shoulders and narrow waist. His eyes were gorgeous but murderous, and there was a sexy mole under the corner of his left eye. “You!” Crystal was scared out of her wits. “Don’t tell me you’re…”
