Chapter 48: Think of happy things when you are sad (Ch 838349631)

A scarf, a suit and hat, a cigar, and a big gold chain are the standard outfits of Midnight Daddy.
Perhaps due to his prejudice, Wayne always felt that Midnight Papa’s identity as a slave owner and witch doctor was inexplicably funny.
It’s because he watched too many hell joke videos in his previous life. Usually, when black people and slave owners are combined together, the impression is that the farm tools are at the bottom and the slave owner is the white man holding a whip at the top.
“John Constantine, you look very happy, are you planning to sell some top-grade magic weapon again?” Midnight was sipping the whiskey in the glass happily, but when he saw Constantine coming to his door, his mood instantly turned sour.
He took out the cigar from his mouth and extinguished it in the crystal ashtray, then asked rudely, “Since you are here, explain why the last two pages of the ‘Solomon’s Seal Scroll’ were copies of Harry Potter instead of your family tree!”
“Midnight, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Shouldn’t you give an old friend a hug?” Constantine blocked out Midnight’s sarcasm, walked with a gait that craved a cigarette, and took a cigar from the other’s table.
Bang!
Obviously, Constantine failed to get close to him. He took back his red palm and smiled brightly: “Midnight, old friend, don’t be so angry. Let’s think about something happy, okay?”
“Happy things?” Midnight sneered and looked Constantine up and down. As a witch doctor, he could easily see how bad Constantine’s physical condition was.
He has advanced lung cancer and won’t live more than half a year. Damn it, Constantine has to smoke that cigarette. Who knows, it might make the scumbag on the other side live three days less!
“You’re right. I did think of something happy. When I thought about the fact that you wouldn’t live past 100 days, I was so excited that I decided to celebrate all night tonight. I’m really looking forward to the Morning Star coming in person to take your soul away. Oh~ I’m so happy to see Constantine being tortured by the Lord of Hell for ten thousand years!”
Midnight and Constantine are not on good terms because last time he sold him some precious magic weapons, he didn’t expect that they were all fakes. Knowing Constantine’s character, he accepted all of them like a fool and was cheated out of a large sum of US dollars.
Midnight realized it was a fake and was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. If Constantine hadn’t run fast enough, he swore that he would personally send the scum to hell.
However, it had been a while since the incident with the fake goods, and Midnight’s anger had mostly subsided. When he met this time and found that Constantine was seriously ill, he was so happy that he didn’t bother to care about the magic weapon anymore.
As a witch doctor, Midnight knew how painful and difficult the last days of a patient with advanced lung cancer would be, especially for a guy like Constantine who valued his life. This would be much more satisfying than for him to take action immediately.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die so easily. It’s too early for that old ghost to come and take my soul!” Constantine chuckled twice and didn’t care, lighting a cigarette for himself.
“Let’s wait and see.” Midnight thought Constantine was just talking nonsense and was too lazy to refute. Instead, he turned his gaze to Wayne, looking him up and down.
“This is Wayne, my best brother!” Seeing Midnight’s expression, Constantine immediately patted Wayne on the shoulder and introduced him.
He doesn’t look like a magician, but he doesn’t look like a simple guy either. However, Constantine has so many brothers, and none of them has a good ending. What an unlucky young man, Midnight muttered to himself, and nodded to Wayne as a greeting.
“Okay John, as the old saying goes, no one comes to my bar for no reason. What are you doing here in my bar today? If you want to buy cigarettes, I am willing to sponsor you ten kilograms of cigars!”
Every time Constantine came to his house, it was either to trick him or to cause him some trouble. He was a neutral person and was unwilling to lean towards any side.
If it was a force that wanted Constantine to go down earlier, that would be a different matter. He would be happy to provide some insignificant help.
“Leave the cigar for me and come back later. This time I came here to borrow your collection, Midnight. I’ll return it to you upon use, and I promise to return it to you.” Midnight didn’t want to be long-winded, so Constantine chose to get straight to the point.
“I don’t think I have any props to lend you.”
“That’s fine. I’ll take the electric chair from the Star Prison myself. You said you don’t have any props anyway.”
Midnight’s heart sank, and he cursed inwardly that it was indeed up to no good for the Plague God to come to him, as he asked to borrow one of his favorite collections.
The Star Electric Chair comes from the New York State Penitentiary. It has ended the lives of two hundred criminals since it was first used. It has gained magical superpowers that allow the user to trace back time and explore the past.
Constantine wants to borrow the electric chair to investigate the truth behind Angela’s sister’s suicide.
“John, it’s enough to just think about this in your dreams. As a neutral person, I will not let a madman like you use the electric chair at will!” Faced with Constantine’s lion-like request, Midnight chose to refuse immediately.
His tone was firm, confirming that there was no chance that Midnight would give in.
“Midnight is a matter of great importance. Even the balance of the world may be broken because of it!” Seeing that the other party was unwilling to lend it, Constantine became anxious and explained everything that had happened from beginning to end.
Because of his character, no matter how much Constantine talked, Midnight maintained the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone and watched John’s performance quietly.
Only after Constantine had talked until his mouth was dry and he was panting, did he frown and say, “John, do I need to remind you how ridiculous this is? Anyway, there is no way I will lend you the electric chair!”
Constantine, who had been working in vain for a long time, rolled his eyes when he heard this and used his ultimate move: “Midnight, do you know what Wayne’s full name is?”
“What does your companion’s full name have to do with me?” Midnight Father was stunned, not understanding Constantine’s intention.
Constantine pushed Wayne forward and grinned, “Formally introduce, his full name is Wayne Cross Elias!”
“Elias!” Midnight’s eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up quickly, circling around Wayne.
“John, how can I be sure that you are not finding someone to trick me? After all, you have done this kind of thing quite often.” Midnight was full of disbelief and began to doubt the authenticity of Constantine’s words.
“I’m sure you know, Midnight, how close my ancestors were to the Elias family.” Constantine was not worried at all because what he said this time was true.
“…” Midnight’s expression was uncertain. Just as he said, Constantine’s ancestors had a close relationship with the Elias family, and the entire magic circle knew about it.
The Elias family withdrew from the wizarding world for a hundred years, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that this is not a camel but an elephant!
“Constantine said you are from the Elias family. How are you going to prove that what he said is true?” Midnight stared at Wayne, waiting for his answer.
“Proof? How can I prove it? I don’t even know what kind of token our family has. How about I show you my driver’s license?” Wayne spread his hands. His family fortune was squandered. It would be impossible to rely on the methods of the mages. In Medi, his only proof of identity was his driver’s license.
“I have a collection that only requires a drop of blood to verify your identity.”
“impossible!”
Constantine was the first to stand up and refuse. What a joke! Wayne’s blood was a treasure now and he hadn’t used it yet. How could he let others take advantage of it?
