Hugh thought that he had scared Mary, so he quickly patted her shoulder and said, "I think that the ghosts and legends in this world are all fake! What ghosts? Everything is just the human mind playing tricks and people's foolishness!
"However, on this forum, someone made a post saying that they are offering a reward of 500,000 dollars to go to the hotel to catch ghosts!"
Mary and Herman looked at each other.
"Your annual royalties are in the hundreds of millions, and you are still short of 500,000 dollars?"
Just a moment ago, he had promised to give her an annual salary of one million US dollars, but now he was going to risk his life for 500,000 dollars.
It was indeed very much like Hugh Hall!
Hugh said righteously, "Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money and would risk his life for a mere 500,000 dollars? What I am doing instead is to take risks and catch ghosts so people can be safe!"
