Chapter 199 Conversation Hunt Warren Begins
crunch--
The car stopped in front of Kano International. Looking at the sea of job seekers in front of him, Louis had a general idea of the current state of Kano International's development.
Louis glanced at the floor and department layout, then stepped into an elevator. After swiping his ID card, the elevator went straight to the twentieth floor.
Click.
Looking at the busy staff and guards inside, Louis stroked his chin and nodded to himself, thinking, "It's quite organized."
Without disturbing his second uncle, Louis wandered around the building, only needing to show his ID card to the soldiers checking his identity.
After looking through floors 21 through 24, Louis went up to the 25th floor.
This is the area where my second uncle works, and it's also where all the finished research products are stored.
Louis examined the contents closely and found that they contained only common mutated products. The research results from them were mostly useless gadgets. For example, a drug that could make people grow teeth but would cause them to grow more and more, and even pierce the mouth with the teeth, came from a great white shark in a certain place.
After circling around and finding nothing of interest, Louis walked toward the center.
Second Uncle Yasen was there making phone calls one after another.
"Okay, let's start building momentum. We must establish a reputation for painless and side-effect-free weight loss. As for those weight loss drug companies, we can ignore them."
"What? The Red Cross is unhappy with our high-salary blood donation proposal? They say we're disrupting the market? Go, contact the labor union and let them have a say in this."
"The Mexican drug lords are up to no good again? I know, I'll go back."
After making four or five non-stop phone calls, Yassen finally stopped.
Since the establishment of Cano International, his phone has never been turned off. He is extremely busy every day. Not only him, but his older brother Max is also the same, even busier than him. After all, this is just a branch, and the headquarters is in Miami.
"However, the family is thriving now, it's just that there are fewer offspring. My eldest brother's sons don't have any children yet, which won't do."
Arsen was a traditional Italian who valued the prosperity of his offspring. He believed that for a family to grow strong, it was essential to have trusted family members.
Just like his father Karl started his business, he gathered many of his cousins. They fought together, defended their home, and did business together. Unfortunately, they suffered too many losses in the process of starting the business, and the remaining veterans are now mostly retired.
His children only hold minor, unimportant positions in the company and are not capable of handling any important matters.
Yasen quickly realized that his eldest brother had two sons and a daughter, all of whom were already married, while his third brother only had one son who was not yet married.
The thought of urging them to get married suddenly came to mind.
Just at this time.
Louis came over and said, "Second Uncle, are you done with the call? You seem quite busy."
Arsen smiled. "Good lad, you've finally come out. So, is your so-called seclusion over?"
"Yes, I've made some progress. I won't need to go into seclusion for a while. How are Grandfather and Uncle doing?"
"It's alright. That coffin building is completely full. Your grandfather is in good health now, and he can eat two large steaks in one meal without any problem..."
Arsen stood up and walked with Louis toward the French windows, saying this as they went.
"How about it."
Louis squinted at the long line of people at his feet, which looked like ants. He knew what his second uncle was asking.
"It's okay, but not enough."
"Ok?"
Arsen was slightly moved.
In his view, the family's development is already extremely prosperous and rapid, isn't that enough?
"I just saw that the internet industry is hesitant to invest because of a collective loss incident a couple of years ago. The same goes for the biomedical industry; they're only preparing to enter the market now that liposuction leeches have been found."
"too slow."
"Second Uncle, there's no need to be so careful. The liquid funds Jordan earned on Wall Street are not just for show."
Yasen's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't been very bold in these areas, partly due to the volatile market and partly due to insufficient funds.
As for Jordan's Devourer Company, although he can command them to some extent, they are still his nephew's subordinates, and he must recognize that!
Therefore, for various reasons, he did not get too involved in these two industries.
Louis glanced at his second uncle, smiled calmly. He could probably guess what his second uncle was thinking, but it didn't bother him.
Because the entire Rebirth Prison base and the Cano International branch in Orlando were actually prepared for him by his grandfather. Although this was not explicitly stated, the traces of time can prove it.
So, using Jordan or something like that wasn't a big deal to him.
"Okay, you're right, I'll readjust my strategy."
Afterwards, the two talked about the mutated creatures, which were caused by Louis's desire to create blood pills.
He initially wanted to manufacture Blood Pills as soon as possible to help, but there was obviously no time to find the remaining types of monsters, so he asked his family for help.
So they went along with it and set up a special team to capture them, the elite team in the prison. The mutated creatures they captured, besides providing Louis with the essence of the Blood Pill, also had their own value.
That's why the building has more than 20 floors today.
However, in the past two and a half years, although many mutated creatures have been captured, very few evil spirits or powerful supernatural monsters have been caught.
To this day, only the few monsters that Louis had taken in exist in the Rebirth Prison.
"The main problem is that they're hard to find. Many ordinary evil spirits aren't actually that strong," Arsen said, seemingly having experienced a lot in the past two years, as he could say such things without fear.
"By the way, now that you've come out of seclusion, it's a good time to go back and see your grandfather and the others."
"it is good."
At this moment, Louis was unaware that he was about to enter a hell called forced marriage.
……
Miami.
Karl, with his muscular physique, watched Arsen and Max chatter on and on to Louis.
Louis sat in the chair, looking at his grandfather with a helpless expression.
He really didn't expect to be pressured to get married right now.
I was pressured enough in my past life, why am I being pressured again in this one?
The sounds continued.
"Little Louis, you're so old now, you can definitely get married sooner. If you don't want to get married and want to enjoy life for a few more years, then have a child first. Your grandfather is in very good health and can definitely help you take care of the child..."
"Aren't you getting close to Emma and Carrie and those other girls? If you should, then make your move. Don't hesitate. Don't tell me you haven't slept with them yet."
"..."
Louis simply used his magic to create a barrier, ignoring all their words, until both of them were parched before he removed the barrier.
"Haha, alright, since little Louis is unwilling, then there's no rush. Come on, let's go hunting with your grandfather."
soon.
The grandfather and grandson arrived at a small forest, holding hunting rifles and searching for prey.
Have you been having a good time these days?
Carl asked as he raised his gun.
"Fortunately, my strength has increased, and there's nothing unpleasant happening around me. The only thing that's making me a little uncomfortable is that I'm somewhat worried about the future."
As Louis looked around, he told his grandfather about hell and darkness.
"I see. That does need to be a concern, but there's no need to worry too much."
"After all, this has nothing to do with us. The Bureau and the church should be concerned; that's their business."
“But grandfather, can they be reliable?” Louis asked a crucial question.
Are they reliable?
The answer is beyond doubt.
"We can't always pin our hopes on others; I prefer to be in control myself." *Bang!*
The bullet hit a deer.
Louis and the old man went into the woods and began to prepare their game.
The old man was somewhat skeptical of Louis's reasons and instead asked about something else.
"Now that you've graduated, are you planning to continue your studies or take over the company?"
"Just get a degree, go to school a bit, and make some connections. Otherwise, I'll just inherit the company. There are some things I need the company to do."
The two of them cleaned up the deer while talking.
At this time.
Louis frowned slightly and looked into the depths of the forest.
"what happened?"
Karl immediately loaded a bullet.
"It's alright, someone's coming."
Louis and Karl walked over, and there was a small hill in front of them.
A man who looked lost and dejected walked over. He looked as if he had encountered some misfortune, and his whole appearance was extremely disheveled and unkempt.
He stared blankly at a deer not far away, his hunting rifle hesitant to be raised, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.
At this time.
boom!
A gunshot rang out, hitting the man squarely on the edge.
The man slumped to the ground, looking in horror at the spot where the shooting had taken place. The setting sun hung over the hilltop, its blinding light obscuring the image of the shooter.
Gunshots were fired.
"Did you see who fired the shot?"
Louis came over at some point and helped Lucas up.
Lucas shook his head, his gaze fixed on the figure that was gradually disappearing.
"No, I can't see clearly. He's standing in the sunlight."
Louis looked at the man with pity in his eyes.
The scene he had just witnessed was so déjà vu that he recognized the person. It was also a movie, a drama called The Hunt. Although it was a drama, in a sense, it was no different from a horror film about human nature.
It's basically a story about how a little girl's casual lie led to the downfall of a teacher's life.
It's basically a satire of those fools who stand on moral high ground.
Even when the law provides evidence to prove innocence, people are more willing to believe their own inferences and even unwilling to admit their mistakes, instead perpetuating the error. Even when everything is eventually resolved, it is only a superficial phenomenon; the underlying estrangement and hatred have been deeply sown and are difficult to resolve.
Louis dusted Lucas off, and out of pity for him from his past life, said, "How about it, interested in working somewhere else?"
"Um, I... I don't quite understand what you mean." Lucas realized what he meant, took two steps back, and looked at Louis and Karl, the two strangers, with some nervousness.
"Don't worry, I've heard a little about what's going on with you. I think you're probably not in a good mood staying in this small town. Why not change your environment?"
Lucas remained silent. Should he change his environment?
Thinking of the townspeople's awkward smiles, the silent atmosphere, and the unresolved barriers in their hearts...
"You're right. Perhaps I really should change my environment. I'm no longer welcome here."
After exchanging a few words, Lucas did not agree. Instead, he bid farewell to Louis and prepared to seek refuge with a distant cousin who he had heard was very wealthy, thus beginning a new chapter in his life.
Watching the other person leave.
Karl, who had been silent until now, asked, "Little Louis, are you very interested in this man?"
Louis shook his head and briefly explained the situation.
Karl's expression remained unchanged. In his decades of life, he had seen much of the beauty and ugliness of humanity; such things were commonplace for him.
But Louis clearly had a different opinion.
"If he has the power to control his own destiny, so what if he's framed? Would he fall into a self-justification trap?"
"In other words, even if he really did it, so what?"
"Would those townspeople dare to lay a hand on him? Use vigilante justice? Or subject him to emotional abuse?"
“Grandfather, I don’t want to be as powerless as him someday.”
Karl looked at Louis and sighed inwardly. Some people are born with their own opinions and don't need others to tell them what to do.
Finally, Carl patted him on the shoulder. "Good boy, go for it. Grandpa's got your back."
The hunt ended prematurely.
The grandfather and grandson returned home with their prey.
After processing the deer heart slightly, Arsen, who did it himself, sliced it and served it at the table.
"I learned how to process this venison from my friend."
Looking at the raw meat slices in front of me, which had been processed to remove as much blood as possible and sprinkled with salt and other seasonings.
Louis chewed on pieces of deer heart without changing his expression. Although it was raw meat, it was not unpalatable. A little blood seeped out of his mouth and went down with the deer meat.
Hmm, it tastes pretty good, a very unique flavor.
There's no other way; this is the only way to cultivate the Five Elements Technique—the fire element of the heart.
Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary person anymore. If I were an ordinary person, I probably would have been tormented to death by the parasites.
At this time.
The phone rings.
Louis answered the phone, his expression changing slightly. "This couple has finally made a move."
He hung up the phone and looked at Karl. "Grandfather, I have to leave for a while."
"Go ahead and be safe."
Louis hurriedly ran out.
Watching Louis leave, Karl coughed twice and looked at Arsène and Max, "Whatever 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 his steak slowly, but his mind was filled with thoughts of what Louis had told him about hell and darkness.
Shouldn't we build a shelter?
……
the other side.
Louis immediately got into the car, but not to Orlando; instead, he headed to the airport.
Just now, a family member who was monitoring the Warrens called him, saying that they had overheard the Warrens' latest commission, which involved a doll.
A doll, what other kind of doll could it be?
The famous Annabelle has finally arrived.
The two powerful demons from the Conjuring series, along with a string of evil spirits, have finally been found.
The Warrens' mission destination was Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, California.
It's not too far from the place where Louis first met the high priest in red.
