The woman hiding in Brian Harris's arms was so terrified that she fainted without even managing to scream.

"You... you..." Brian Harris, letting go of his pistol, saw this horrifying scene and tumbled off the bed in a panic, staring in terror at Ethan Carter, who had revealed two long fangs.

"As you can see, I'm not human. But don't worry, the reason I came here tonight isn't because of your rude behavior toward me during the day. Someone paid me to take you out." Ethan Carter gently stroked his two protruding fangs with his thumb, a faint smile always on his face.

"Who? Who was it? I'll pay double—no, triple! Don't kill me! Kill the one who wants me dead." The money magician Brian Harris, upon hearing about a paid job, saw a glimmer of hope for survival and hurriedly offered a high price to save his own life.

"Triple the price? Let me think." Ethan Carter stroked his fangs again, looking troubled as he said, "That's difficult! The woman offered me a virgin's body. Sir, you hardly look like a virgin, do you? And you want to pay triple?"

"No! No! I can give you lots of money." Brian Harris retreated like a damsel in distress from a third-rate soap opera, shouting as he backed away, suddenly grabbing an object from behind the lamp and about to swing it at Ethan Carter.

Ethan Carter suddenly flashed a charming smile and said, "Time's up." In a blink, he appeared beside Brian Harris, quickly poking both sides of Brian Harris's shoulders with his right hand, followed by the sound of something hard breaking.

Ethan Carter gently pushed Brian Harris to the ground, smiling as he said, "Do you know why I haven't sucked your blood yet? Because your blood wasn't boiling enough just now. When a person is in extreme terror, the heart beats faster, and that blood tastes the best. Now it's just right."

The two sharp, long fangs easily pierced Brian Harris's throat. It was even easier than a man breaking a woman's hymen.

"What delicious ginseng blood! I didn't expect this guy to have been taking ginseng supplements for years! Looks like I've found my first blood pig." Ethan Carter stood up, gripping Brian Harris's neck and dragging him toward the door. As he passed the woman, Ethan Carter gathered a bit of corpse energy at his fingertip and tapped it onto the woman's forehead.

If a Taoist priest were here, he would surely recognize that as a transformed Daoist spell called "Heart-Extinguishing Finger," used specifically to erase certain memories people dare not keep.

Ethan Carter hadn't gone far when a black figure swiftly moved into the room.

The woman was still unconscious on the bed. The shadowy figure came to the other side of the bed, picked up the object Brian Harris had just tried to use to attack Ethan Carter, and sniffed it carefully: "Vampire?" The tone was a mix of shock and curiosity.

"This is the person you wanted. Mission accomplished." In the hanging pot clinic, Ethan Carter threw Brian Harris in front of Grace: "I guarantee he won't show up again. You can go now."

After confirming that the person brought in was indeed Brian Harris, Grace quickly stood up and left the clinic she didn't want to stay in for even a second longer.

"Mm! Not bad! This blood pig should last me a month." Ethan Carter looked with satisfaction at the still-unconscious Brian Harris, then suddenly slapped the back of his own head: "Oh no! I forgot to ask for the fifty thousand dollars!"

Chapter 5: The Aphrodisiac Scam

After sending off Grace, Ethan Carter noticed that the people who usually waited in line here were nowhere to be seen today. Not only that, but this street, usually bustling, was eerily deserted, not a single person in sight. Even the other nightclubs had all closed their doors, as if they had all gone out of business at the same time.

"I guess it's about time for them to show up." Seeing the situation around him, Ethan Carter casually turned on his computer and logged into the latest online game from Shanda Company, "Dungeons & Dragons," playing as he waited for the local gangsters to pay him a visit.

The front door was kicked open, the entire glass door smashing against the wall and shattering into pieces.

"My crystal glass door!" Ethan Carter immediately shouted at the sight, so he could demand compensation later.

"Crystal glass? My ass! Smash this place up!" The gang boss Mad Dog, who ran this street, had spent a week investigating and found that Ethan Carter was just a small-time doctor with no backing, so he finally decided to act. Leading more than a dozen men armed with knives, they stormed into Ethan Carter's clinic, looking fierce and vicious, and began smashing everything in sight.

In an instant, the clinic's counter, medicine shelves, and all the medicine boxes were smashed to pieces. Even the cash register at the front desk was forcibly broken open, and the 132.65 yuan inside was stolen by the gang.

"Stop! Stop! If you keep this up, I'm calling the police!" Ethan Carter shouted loudly on purpose.

His show of weakness only provoked even more brutal actions.
