Creak—

The car stopped at the entrance of Kano International. Looking at the dark crowd of job seekers in front of him, Louis had a bottom line in his heart about the current development of Kano International.

Louis glanced at the distribution of floors and departments, then walked into an elevator. After swiping his ID card, the elevator went straight to the 20th floor.

Click.

Looking at the busy personnel and security inside, Louis touched his chin and nodded secretly; it looked quite decent.

Without disturbing his second uncle, Louis just wandered around the building. When he encountered soldiers checking identities, he only needed to show and check his ID card.

After looking at all the 21st to 24th floors, Louis went up to the 25th floor.

Here was the area where his second uncle was, and it was also the storage area for various finished research products.

Louis checked carefully and found that what was stored here were all ordinary mutant products, and most of the things researched from them were useless things, such as a potion that could make people grow teeth but would lead to more and more growth, and even pierce the oral cavity with teeth, which came from a great white shark in a certain place.

After walking around and finding nothing good, Louis walked to the center.

His second uncle, Arsen, was making one phone call after another there.

"Okay, prepare to start creating momentum. We must make a name for painless and side-effect-free weight loss. As for those weight loss drug companies, don't worry about them."

"What? The Red Cross is not satisfied with the high-paid blood donation we proposed? Saying we are disrupting the market? Go, contact the union, and let the union go and make trouble with them."

"The Mexican drug lords are not being honest again? Got it, I'll go back there."

After making four or five uninterrupted phone calls, Arsen finally stopped.

Since the establishment of Kano International, his phone had never been turned off, and he could be said to be quite busy every day. Not only him, but his eldest brother Max was also the same, even busier than him; after all, his place was just a branch, and the headquarters was in Miami.

"However, the family is also flourishing now, it's just that there are fewer descendants. Those boys of my eldest brother don't have any children now, this won't do."

Arsen was a traditional Italian. In his view, the prosperity of descendants was very important. If a family wanted to grow, his own people who could be fully trusted were indispensable.

Just like when his father Karl started his business, many of those he gathered were cousins. Fighting, guarding the house, doing business, all were his own people. Unfortunately, the loss was too great for the sake of starting the business, and the remaining few elders were basically retired now.

Their descendants only held idle positions in the company and couldn't take on any major responsibilities.

Arsen's mind turned; his eldest brother had two sons and one daughter, all of whom were married, and his third brother only had one son, who was not yet married.

The thought of urging marriage suddenly surged up.

Just at this time.

Louis leaned over, "Second Uncle, finished the call? Quite busy."

Arsen smiled, "Good boy, finally came out. How about it, is your so-called seclusion over?"

"Yeah, I've gained something. I won't need to be in seclusion for a while. How are Grandfather and Eldest Uncle and the others?"

"Still okay, that coffin building is full, now your grandfather's body is very healthy, eating two big steaks for a meal is no problem..."

Arsen stood up and walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window with Louis, saying.

"How is it."

Louis looked at the long line of people like ants under his feet, squinting his eyes; he knew what his second uncle was asking.

"It's okay, but it's not enough."

"Hmm?"

Arsen was slightly moved.

In his view, the family's development was already extremely prosperous and extremely fast, and this was not enough?

"I just looked, the internet industry, because of a collective loss event two years ago, has not dared to invest money to enter the market until now, and the biotechnology industry is the same, until the fat-sucking leeches came out a few days ago, they were ready to enter."

"Too slow."

"Second Uncle, don't be cautious, the liquid funds Jordan earned on Wall Street are not for looking at."

Arsen's face changed a little. He really didn't do it boldly in these aspects. The market situation was one aspect, and the lack of funds was another.

As for Jordan's Eater Company, although he could command the other party to a certain extent, the other party was always his nephew's subordinate, and this point must be recognized!

Therefore, for various reasons, he did not intervene too much in these two industries.

Louis glanced at his second uncle and smiled indifferently. He could probably guess what his second uncle was thinking, but it didn't matter.

Because the entire Rebirth Prison base and this Kano International branch in Orlando were actually prepared for him by his grandfather. Although this was not explicitly stated, all kinds of traces could indicate it.

So using Jordan and so on, in his view, was nothing.

"Okay, you're right, I will readjust the strategy."

Subsequently, the two talked about the mutant creatures. These things were caused by Louis wanting to make blood pills.

At that time, he wanted to make blood pills as soon as possible to help, but obviously there was no time to find the remaining few monsters, so he let the family help.

So he pushed the boat along the river and established a special capture team, which was the elite team in the prison, and the mutant creatures caught, besides providing essence blood for Louis's blood pills, also had utilization value themselves.

So there was the current building above the 20th floor.

However, in the past two and a half years, although many mutant creatures had been caught, few evil spirit-type monsters and powerful supernatural monsters had been caught.

In the Rebirth Prison, there were still only those few monsters that Louis had accommodated.

"Mainly because they are hard to find, many ordinary evil spirits are actually not strong," Arsen said so, it seemed that he had experienced a lot in these two years, and he could say such things without fear.

"By the way, since you are out of seclusion now, it's just right to go back and see your grandfather and the others."

"Okay."

At this time, Louis didn't know that what he was about to walk into was a hell called urging marriage.

Miami.

Karl, with strong muscles, watched Arsen and Max nagging at Louis.

Louis sat on the chair, looking at his grandfather helplessly.

He really didn't expect that he could encounter urging marriage now.

He was urged enough in his previous life, and it's coming again in this life?

The voice in his ear continued.

"Little Louis, you are so big now, you can totally get married early. If you don't want to get married and still want to play for a few years, then have a child first. Now your grandfather is very healthy and can totally help you bring up the child..."

"Aren't you very close to those girls like Emma and Jiali? You should take action when you should, don't hesitate, don't tell me you haven't slept with them yet."

"..."

Louis simply turned his magic power into a barrier and turned a deaf ear to all the words. It was not until the two were dry-mouthed that Louis removed the barrier.

"Hahaha, alright, since little Louis is unwilling, then don't be in a hurry. Come, go hunting with Grandfather."

Soon.

The grandfather and grandson came to a small forest, holding hunting rifles and looking for prey.

"Are you happy these days?"

Karl asked while raising his gun.

"It's okay, my strength has become stronger, and there are no unhappy things around me. The only thing that is a bit uncomfortable is probably some worries about the future."

Louis told his grandfather about hell, darkness, and those things while looking around.

"So that's it, then it's indeed worth worrying about, but don't worry too much."

"After all, this has nothing to do with us. What should be worried about is the Bureau and the Church, that's their business."

"But Grandfather, can they be reliable?" Louis asked a soul-searching question.

Are they reliable?

The answer is beyond doubt.

"We can't pin our hopes on others. I'm still used to controlling everything myself."

Bang!

The bullet hit a deer.

Louis and the old man came to the woods and began to clean up the prey.

Regarding the reason Louis gave, the old man was a bit noncommittal and turned to ask about other things.

"You are graduated now, are you planning to continue going to school or inherit the company directly?"

"Just get a degree, go to school a little bit, and make some connections. Usually, I'll inherit the company. It just so happens that there are some things that need to be done with the company."

The two talked while cleaning a deer completely.

At this time.

Louis frowned slightly and looked into the depths of the forest.

"What's wrong?"

Karl immediately loaded the bullet.

"It's okay, someone is coming."

Louis and Karl walked over, and in front was a small hillside.

A man who looked dejected walked over. He looked like he had encountered some bad luck, and he was very decadent and sloppy.

He stared blankly at a deer not far away, the hunting rifle in his hand was slow to be raised, and his eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions.

At this time.

Bang!

A gunshot hit straight at the edge of the man.

The man slumped to the ground, looking at the shooting place in horror. The setting sun hung on the top of the slope, and the dazzling sunlight erased the image of the person who fired the gun.

The gun fired.

"Did you see clearly who fired the gun?"

Louis walked over at some point and helped Lucas up.

Lucas shook his head, his eyes always gazing at the figure that was gradually disappearing.

"No, I can't see clearly, he is standing in the sun."

Louis looked at this person with pity in his eyes.

The sense of déjà vu of the scene just now was too strong, making him recognize this person. This was also a movie, a drama called The Hunt. Although it was a drama, in a sense, it was no different from a human thriller.

It was basically a story about a lie casually told by a little girl that led to a teacher's life heading toward destruction.

It was basically satirizing those stupid people standing on the moral high ground.

Even if the law had provided evidence to prove innocence, people were more willing to believe their own inferences, and even unwilling to admit their mistakes, but instead continued to make mistakes. Even if everything was solved in the end, it was only a superficial phenomenon, and the inner estrangement and hatred had been deeply planted, making it difficult to resolve...

Louis patted the dust on Lucas and said out of pity for him in his previous life, "How about it, any interest in changing jobs?"

"Uh, I, don't quite understand what you mean." Lucas reacted, took two steps back, and looked at Louis and Karl, these two strangers, nervously.

"Don't worry, I've heard a little about your situation. I think you probably won't have a good mood staying in this small town now. Why not change an environment?"

Lucas was silent, change an environment?

Thinking of the townspeople's awkward smiles, the silent atmosphere, the insurmountable estrangement in his heart...

"You're right, perhaps, I really should change an environment. This place no longer welcomes me."

After saying a few simple words, Lucas did not choose to agree but said goodbye to Louis. He was ready to go to rely on a distant cousin who was said to be very rich and start a new life.

Watching the other party leave.

Karl, who had been silent, asked, "Little Louis, you are very interested in this person?"

Louis shook his head and told the story simply.

Karl didn't have any expression changes. In his decades of life, he had seen too much of the beauty and ugliness of human nature, and this kind of thing was just common.

But Louis obviously had a different view.

"If he had the power to control his own destiny, so what if he was framed? Would he still fall into the trap of self-proof?"

"In other words, even if he really did it, so what."

"Do those townspeople dare to take action against him? Lynch him? Cold violence?"

"Grandfather, I don't want to be as powerless as him one day."

Karl looked at Louis and sighed in his heart. Some people are born with their own ideas and don't need others to point fingers.

Finally, Karl patted him on the shoulder, "Good boy, go ahead and do it, Grandfather supports you."

The hunt ended early.

The grandfather and grandson returned home with the prey.

After slightly processing the deer heart, Arsen, who did it himself, cut it into slices and put it on the dining table.

"I learned how to process this venison from that friend of mine."

Looking at the raw meat slices in front of him that were processed as much as possible without blood and sprinkled with salt grains and other seasonings.

Louis ate the deer heart slices into his mouth and chewed them without changing his expression. Although it was raw meat, it was not inedible. A trace of blood overflowed in his mouth and went down his stomach along with the venison.

Hmm, the taste is not bad, a very strange feeling.

No way, practicing the Five Qi Technique can only be like this, the fire qi of the heart.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person now. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would be tortured to death by parasites.

At this time.

The phone rang.

Louis picked up the phone, his face changed slightly, "This couple finally has movement."

Hanging up the phone, he looked at Karl, "Grandfather, I have to leave first."

"Go, be safe."

Louis ran out in a hurry.

Watching Louis leave, Karl coughed twice and looked at Arsen and Max, "No matter what little Louis wants to do in the future, you must fully support him, don't ask why, understand?"

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

Karl continued to eat the steak leisurely, but his heart was constantly thinking about the things Louis told him about hell and darkness.

Is it time to build a shelter?

On the other side.

Louis immediately got into the car, but it was not to Orlando, but to the airport.

Just now, a family member monitoring the Warrens called him, saying that they had intercepted the commission the Warrens received this time, which was a doll.

A doll, what kind of doll could it be.

The famous Annabelle has finally arrived.

The two powerful demons and a series of evil spirits in the Conjuring series finally had traces.

And the mission location the Warrens were heading to this time was—Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, California.

It was not too far from the place where Louis met the High Priest Red.
