Chapter 238: Departure, Scavenger Company

~13 min read 2,560 words

A small town in the countryside of Miami.

Elise's house.

As a well-known medium, her living conditions are quite good. Sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot tea, basking in the sunlight coming through the window, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Life is very comfortable.

But recently, she had the idea of wanting to retire.

No way, wandering on the front line to drive away evil spirits all year round has consumed a lot of her energy. Although she is only middle-aged, she often feels a lack of energy, and her hair has a lot of white.

She suspects that if this continues, she will only have two endings: aging before her time, or dying due to lack of energy during some mediumship process.

So.

It's time to consider retirement.

Hmm, Minnie has done a lot of things with her these years, but she is a person of the Kano family after all, and will eventually go back to work for them, but there can't be no one to drive away spirits here, should she find another apprentice, or assistant?

Elise thought about all kinds of things and gradually fell asleep.

A shadow slightly blocked, Minnie, who had become a mature medium, looked at Elise softly and whispered, "Really, don't fall asleep in this kind of place."

Covered her with a layer of clothing, looking at Elise with reluctance in her eyes.

At this time.

The phone vibrated with a hum.

Minnie's body stiffened, opened the phone, and it showed the location and flight ticket.

"Three days later, huh."

That night.

Candles were lit in the room, a strawberry cream cake was placed on the table, and a large pile of dishes.

"Minnie."

"When are you leaving?"

Minnie, who was cutting steak for Elise, stiffened. "The flight ticket three days later, going to Massachusetts."

Elise nodded. The Kano family wants to use Minnie, which is within her expectation, but going to such a far place, she really didn't expect.

Clearly, the Kano family's territory is all in Florida...

However, no matter what, Minnie cannot resist the Kano family, and the things the Kano family has paid for Minnie over the years really need her to repay.

"Before you leave, I still have some things to explain, I hope you are willing to listen to what this old woman has to say."

Minnie immediately sat upright in front of her.

"Going north this time, you will definitely be used. What value do you have? Mediumship."

"The knowledge taught to you over the years must be used flexibly, you must be careful, things involved in such a big family are often not simple, if it is too dangerous, rather run away than fight to the death."

"You must believe in your ability. Your soul attribute is very special. You will have precognitive dreams when you encounter danger. This special ability of foreknowledge is rare. Many mediums don't have this special ability."

"Although it hasn't been triggered much over the years, you should have felt the benefits this ability has brought you, so you must believe in your ability, which will greatly increase your survival rate."

"Also, take this. After so many years, I still have some friends in the church. If it really doesn't work, go to the church for shelter."

Elise took out a broken cross, vaguely stained with blood, and it looked like it had a story.

Minnie didn't speak, just took the cross.

Elise had no children, and she really treated Minnie as her own child over the years, so she considered her so much at this time.

Minnie hugged Elise. "Teacher, I will come back, don't be too tired, if it really doesn't work, hire a nanny to take care of you, so you can be more relaxed."

Elise shook her head.

Didn't say much, just patted Minnie on the back.

Three days later.

Minnie got on the plane, but just after getting on, she noticed something wrong and stopped her steps.

These passengers in front of her, why do they feel like they are together? And the old woman in the seat next to her seems to have some fluctuations in soul power?

"Looks like you have quite a bit of vigilance."

The old woman said with a smile, put away the tarot cards in her hand, and reached out her hand. "Hello, I am Alma, a diviner."

Minnie looked around at these people, came to Alma, and nodded. "Minnie, medium."

After sitting down, Minnie couldn't wait to ask Alma. "Are you too?"

Alma nodded with a smile. "That's right, I am also a subordinate of Boss Louis. I know you, the capable person first accepted by Boss Louis."

Minnie smiled.

One knows one's own affairs.

She might indeed be the subordinate first accepted by Louis, but she hasn't shown up much over the years except for a few times going to the Kano family training ground, and hasn't seen Louis, to put it ugly, she has been too free over the years...

"Ms. Alma, do you know what we are going to do next over there? And the passengers on this plane, I always feel..."

Alma: "These, because I have been in the family, I probably know some."

"Boss wants to establish a company similar to an exorcism office over there in Massachusetts. Of course, there are some differences.

We mainly serve those wealthy families, we are seeds, and also elite personnel."

"As for these people, they are company employees who are going there like us, but unlike us, very different."

Minnie nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Louis is preparing to open up new mysterious business in the north?

In fact.

Besides them and these company employees, a large number of armed forces that can deal with mysterious events are moving to Massachusetts in batches.

Louis couldn't just take the upper-class route, and even if they were exhausted, how many things could they solve?

These mass-produced soldiers are the real foundation.

With them, plus the elite black armored soldiers and the two of them, the framework of the new company can be set up.

This is also a new base Louis built in the north.

One south and one north, striving for comprehensive coverage of America.

Although this goal is still a bit far, the two overseas states currently haven't even extended a trace of tentacles, but the future is promising.

In the sky.

The plane roared forward with personnel.

On the earth.

Convoys and trains, like long dragons, are carrying soldiers to their destination.

As for the transportation of dangerous goods such as firearms and equipment, in this country that labels itself with freedom, as long as there are US dollars, then everything is not a problem.

Here, wealth is power!

Orlando Airport.

After saying goodbye to David and others, Louis boarded the plane alone and headed to the distance.

As for Carrie and others, they don't have the talent for learning, and the smartest Emma is only barely reaching the line, going to MIT will only make them uncomfortable, might as well stay in Florida to read local universities.

Of course, this is only one aspect. More importantly, they need to stay here to execute Louis's ascension plan. The ley line nodes still need them to survey.

So, although Emma, Carrie, and others really want to go to a new place with Louis for an interesting adventure, they still obediently chose to stay.

Oh no.

Madison is an exception. Because she doesn't want to go to college and wants to be a star, she was sent to Hollywood. Over there, the owner of the Chang Sect—Edith, who has already stood firm, will look after her.

Soon, the plane arrived at the destination—Massachusetts.

This place near New York State looks as prosperous as ever, or rather, it has become more prosperous today as the economy becomes more prosperous.

It's just that the number of homeless people in the alleys has increased instead of decreasing for some reason, adding a not-so-civilized color to this rapidly developing place.

Got off the plane.

Louis hung up the phone of a director of MIT, then looked at the location and chose to get into the car to go to his new base.

As for reporting to MIT or something.

Anyway, it's already been more than half a month late, so being late for a while doesn't matter, right?

Believe that for the sake of US dollars, he will understand.

High-rise buildings.

Suits and leather shoes.

Americans in this era all look like their heads are held high, full of confidence.

But Louis's gaze didn't stay on them at all, instead, his gaze kept wandering on the homeless people in the alleys by the street.

Trying to try his luck to find a certain owner of the Qi Gate.

Pity, it seems Louis doesn't have this luck. Until the new base, he didn't encounter one.

The vehicle stopped.

The building in front of him doesn't look tall, only seven stories. Compared with the nearby street shops, high-end supermarkets, etc., it is just right.

But compared with those companies living in office buildings, it is a bit inferior.

But this is the place Louis specifically looked for.

In America, the north and south are completely different forces and economic situations.

Not to mention anything else, just the political parties are different.

Moreover, such a building is more in line with the positioning of the Scavenger Company today.

That's right.

Similar to the Rebirth Prison in the south, the Scavenger Company is a secret base Louis prepared to stand in the north.

It's just that unlike the surface prison and secret accommodation in Rebirth Prison, the Scavenger Company will be opened in a semi-public form, like the Warrens' paranormal association.

No way.

The south and north are different.

Here, the Kano family doesn't have such great energy, some things can't be done, especially the actions of sending out small teams to search for monsters like in the south, which is impossible to do in the north.

So he can only take this form.

Came to the Scavenger Company.

As a newly created company, it hasn't opened yet, but the personnel are all here, all consciously cleaning up hygiene and arranging workstations.

These are senior personnel working on the 20th floor of Kano International, very clear about what should be done and what should not be done.

Seeing Louis come in, they just bowed slightly without making a sound.

Came to the seventh floor.

"Young Master."

A Chinese sound appeared in his ear.

It was Uncle Fu, who had always been in Miami, who appeared here.

Louis smiled and came to the office with Uncle Fu.

As someone from Louis's mother's side and who watched Louis grow up, Uncle Fu is probably the person Louis trusts most besides David and others.

So, Louis brought Uncle Fu here.

As for doing what?

"Young Master, this is the shop information on this street nearby, as well as the personal information of the chairmen of some large companies in Cambridge."

"These are the families that the old servant thinks can be deeply communicated with."

As an old butler of the old era, it's not just simple to manage housework. He also has to help the master manage the family business, human relations, analyze the situation, etc. But any family that has a climate, the butler will definitely not be a simple character.

Many people think that the British butler is a benchmark and can do many things for the master, but in fact, the butler of the Eastern family is not bad either.

And Louis's maternal family, although declined, probably had some climate before declining?

So although Uncle Fu is an old man, his means are not bad. When Louis was young, he even secretly used some unclean means to accumulate a sum of wealth for him and arrange a way to escape, just to guard against any accidents in the Kano family.

In his view, the gangster family cannot last long, it is too easy to have accidents, and must prepare a backup for the young master's safety and future.

Of course, he didn't say these, after all, the young master is living well now, isn't he?

That's enough.

And now, because of the panacea and witchcraft strengthening potions given by Louis, Uncle Fu's energy is very abundant, and he can fully help Louis handle the new company's affairs.

So he was transferred over by Louis.

Took the list and looked at it. Everything described on it was very clear, all using new forms, and the arranged time, etc. Obviously, this old man did not fall behind the times.

"Uncle Fu, I may not have much time to specifically handle the company's affairs, this aspect still depends on you."

"Of course, I will set up the framework first, and the company will run."

Uncle Fu, dressed in a black Tang suit, had a calm expression and bowed slightly. "This is the old servant's honor."

"But Young Master, I think it is necessary to change the residence of the three young ladies and you. It is too small and has too many idle people, which will have some small influence on your trouble;

Also service personnel, although the food in England is very poor, their maids are barely okay, I have already booked a batch for you, the appearance and quality are absolutely top-notch, and they can be used after a little training."

"I hope Young Master can wait a moment."

???

No, I'm talking to you about work, how did you turn to my private life? And, what maid, do I look very lustful?

Wait, hiss—

Oh right, these seem to be your work too...

It's just that, considering the young master's life or something... it's a bit too qualified.

Silent for a moment. "Okay, that apartment is indeed a bit small, not very convenient, let's do as you say."

"Start working now."

"Call Minnie and Alma up, and the captains of the armed forces."

Soon.

Minnie, who was nervous in her heart, followed Alma and took the elevator up.

Came to the office.

Just entered.

A sense of pressure came over her face.

Spacious and bright office, can see the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance, all kinds of flowers and plants she doesn't know and fish, it looks very luxurious.

Of course, the most important thing is people.

Several big men who were tall and strong, wearing black armor, looking very fierce, were standing respectfully in front of the desk.

And beside the desk, there was an old Asian man in a neat black Tang suit, with a slight smile on his face.

At this moment, hearing the sound of opening the door, the eyes of the big men and the old man all turned over, staring straight at them, the meaning in the eyes was a bit unclear.

Scared!!

Minnie felt her heartbeat slow down two beats, so nervous...

Even Alma beside her paused, obviously not very calm.

At this very moment, only silence and infinite pressure spreading outward remained in the room.

Until.

Creak—

The chair turned slightly.

Louis, sitting in the main seat in the middle of the room, turned around and looked at Minnie and Alma with a faint smile.

"Two, long time no see."
