Albert did not dare to cause any delay, and he hurriedly handed a key over to Charlie as he spoke up, "Young Master Wade, feel free to contact me if you have any problems.” 1
"Okay." Charlie nodded slightly, and he shook the car key as he spoke up, "I'll leave first."
After he was done speaking, Charlie got into the driver’s seat and started the car before driving toward Shangri-La.
When Charlie arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La, Carvalho also walked out of the hotel lobby.
Charlie drove the car in front of him as he rolled down the car window, spoke up, and asked, "Do you need a taxi?"
"Yes!" Carvalho nodded and said, "I'm going to Mount Phoenix Cemetery."
"You want to go to Mount Phoenix Cemetery?" Charlie pretended to be horrified as he said, "It is already so late at night, so why would you want to go to that kind of place? I won’t go there. That place is bad luck."
Carvalho hurriedly said, "Young man, there is something that I have to do at Mount Phoenix Cemetery. If you feel that it's too inauspicious, would i
t be okay if I paid you a little more money, then?" 1
When Charlie heard these words, his eyes lit up as he spoke up and asked, "You'll give me more money?
How much more money can you pay me?"
Carvalho took out ten pieces of one hundred dollars notes before handing it over to Charlie as he said," What do you think of one thousand dollars?"
Charlie pretended to be tempted at the sight of money, and he waved his hand cheerfully as he said, "Come, come. Hurry up and get into the car!"
