Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

"You want to become a noble?"

When Du Wei heard Ryan's words, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Saying that he would build a mental hospital for him to play however he wished, Du Wei was serious.

As the son-in-law of the Wittebach family.

Du Wei was not short of money at all.

Just consider it giving Ryan a good place to settle down.

Even, Du Wei had thought about curing Ryan and having him follow him for a peaceful life.

But becoming a noble...

This wish, Du Wei could not fulfill.

So, he could only say to Ryan on the other end of the phone, "Being a noble is not really a good thing, and besides, where are there any nobles in modern society, unless you marry a noble wife."

Ryan muttered, "But Director, you are a noble, Matthew told me, and you are even a duke, as long as you ennobled me, I would be a noble too."

"I have already thought about my title and fief. I will be Baron Ryan, and my fief will be the Dusk Bell Psychiatric Hospital."

Having said this, Ryan proudly added, "And Director, I think I have a strong noble lineage, because I've already developed a slave in the Dusk Bell Psychiatric Hospital, pretty impressive, huh..."

Du Wei was stunned, "You developed a slave?"

Honestly, he was a bit dumbfounded.

A slave?

A slave master?

Are there really people in modern society who are willing to be slaves?

It couldn't be a mental patient, could it?

Ryan, however, said cheerfully, "It's James, I've unilaterally declared him my slave, oh... I think I've also declared that all the people of Dusk Bell are my slaves."

Du Wei's lips twitched as he said helplessly, "Fine, I ennobled you as a baron, but do not go around telling everyone they're your slave. We have to uphold humanitarianism, otherwise you might get killed."

Ryan, shocked, said, "I'm a baron personally ennobled by you, and there are still people who dare to hit me?"

Du Wei deliberately said, "Yes, there are many people in this world who are unreasonable, and some even don't give me face."

Ryan was bewildered, "That's crazy, you are a duke..."

Du Wei went along with Ryan's words, "I am indeed a duke, it's just that my lands are not in Switzerland, and you are currently in enemy territory, you must be careful and cautious."

Upon hearing this.

Only then did Ryan come to a realization: "I see, they're all our enemies. Don't worry, Director, I won't go anywhere in the future, I'll just stay in Dusk Bell, no one will be able to harm me."

Du Wei said approvingly, "That's worthy of someone under my command, you already possess the excellent qualities of a noble."

Ryan laughed foolishly.

But Du Wei turned to look at Freddy.

His demeanor changed immediately.

Just now, he was all smiles and kindness with Ryan, but now with Freddy, he was cold and merciless.

The transformation was instantaneous.

Freddy was startled and immediately knelt before Du Wei, frantically kowtowing, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"

He didn't even ask and admitted his mistake first.

Du Wei said coldly, "You've always called me a devil, is it because you hate me so much?"

Freddy spoke in fear, "I swear, definitely not."

If it were anyone else, Freddy would have hated them to the core and looked for every possible way to kill them.

But now, he faced a true devil.

Calm and rational, with many trump cards, and overwhelmingly powerful.

Freddy didn't even dare to hate.

Du Wei remained cold, "I don't believe in oaths, and it's not possible for me to trust you, but I am here this time because I want to make a deal with you."

"Lift your head and look at me."

Freddy subconsciously looked up, but upon meeting Du Wei's indifferent eyes, as sharp as knives, his heart turned cold.

"Am I... am I worthy enough to make a transaction with you?"

"I wouldn't dare..."

"Whatever you command, just say it, and I will obey, I assure you."

Du Wei remained expressionless, yet couldn't help but think to himself, "Am I that frightening? It doesn't even dare to make a deal with me?"

"Could it be plotting something?"

So, he said, "Compared to making boundless demands, I prefer to make transactions with others, which are mutually beneficial."

Freddy grew even more frightened, "What have you taken a fancy to in me? Just tell me, please don't make a trade, I really don't deserve it..."

Agree to make a deal with devils?

Only if one has gone mad.

Du Wei's gaze grew colder, "When I say it's a trade, it's a trade, and you don't have the right to refuse."

His tone then turned grim.

Over the phone, Ryan spoke arrogantly, "Freddy, cut the crap, the director is willing to make a trade with you, just agree to it honestly, or I will curse you in your dreams every day."

Freddy nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, I agree to the trade."

Du Wei spoke coldly, "Firstly, our trade will be conducted in secret, and I won't let you know the specific content of the transaction."

"To put it simply, I will hypnotize you."

"When the time comes for me to complete the trade, you will naturally remember."

Freddy's eyes widened in fear—wasn't this clearly setting him up for doom?

Not even letting him know what the trade involved.

Was it about selling his very soul to this devil?

"Du Wei... Lord Du Wei, what exactly do you want me to do? All my abilities are worthless in front of you, I really can't imagine where you could possibly need me."

Du Wei said calmly, "There is no such thing as worthless to me, whether it's evil spirits, people, or things; I extract all their value. To put it simply, I am interested in your abilities."

"In some future time, I may make use of you, but then again, I may not."

Now, his adversary was very clear.

Aimed directly at the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon Gods of Solomon.

Whether Du Wei ran or confronted the issue, he would have to face these ghostly entities.

Who would kill whom?

All of his plans would become effective at some point in the future.

That is...

The crazy and audacious idea.

Transforming himself into a Demon God.

Freddy looked at Du Wei in despair, "Although I don't know what you plan to do, I know that I don't have the right to choose, right?"

"The so-called trade is just a perfunctory excuse to you."

"Since it's like this, then do as you wish, just give me a quick end after you're done using me."

Du Wei said noncommittally, "I said it's a trade, so it definitely is a trade. As for you... maybe I'll let you out for some fresh air someday."

Freddy became stunned, "You said... let me out for some air? Let me out of this ghastly place?"

Du Wei replied, "I never lie."

Freddy cried...

Wiping away his tears, he said, "That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. Tell me, what's the deal?"

Du Wei leaned in closer, speaking in a strange tone, "First, you have to look into my eyes..."
