Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 233 Departure from the Cleaner Company

A small town in the countryside near Miami.

The Ellis family.

As a well-known psychic, she lived a very comfortable life, sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot tea, basking in the sunlight streaming through the window, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Life is very pleasant.

However, recently, she has been thinking about retiring.

Unfortunately, her constant work on the front lines exorcising evil spirits has taken a toll on her energy. Despite being only middle-aged, she often feels exhausted, and a lot of her hair has turned white.

She suspected that if things continued like this, she would only have two outcomes: premature aging, or death due to exhaustion during a psychic session.

and so.

It's time to think about retirement.

Well, Minnie has done a lot for me these past few years, but she is, after all, a member of the Cano family, and she will have to go back to serve them sooner or later. But we can't leave this place without someone to exorcise spirits. Should we find another apprentice or assistant?

Ellis pondered various things and gradually fell asleep.

A shadow slightly obscured the view as Minnie, now a mature medium, looked gently at Ellis and murmured, "Really, don't fall asleep in a place like this."

He draped a layer of clothing over her, his eyes filled with reluctance as he looked at Iris.

At this time.

The phone buzzed and vibrated.

Minnie froze, then opened her phone, which displayed the location and plane ticket.

"Three days later."

That night.

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

"Minnie."

"when are we leaving?"

Minnie, who was cutting a steak for Ellis, froze. "Plane ticket for three days from now, to Massachusetts."

Ellis nodded. The Cano family wanted to use Minnie, which was within her expectations, but she hadn't expected them to go so far away.

Even though the Cano family's territory is all in Florida...

However, no matter what, Minnie has no way to defy the Cano family, and she does indeed need to repay what the Cano family has done for her over the years.

"Before you leave, I have some things to tell you, and I hope you will be willing to listen to what this old woman has to say."

Minnie immediately sat up straight in front of her.

"We'll definitely need your help on this trip to the north. What's your value? You're a psychic."

"You must make good use of the knowledge I've been taught over the years. Be very careful. Things involving large families like this are often not simple. If it's too dangerous, it's better to run away than to fight to the death."

"You must believe in your abilities. Your soul has a very special attribute. When you encounter danger, you will have precognitive dreams. This kind of precognitive ability is very rare. Many spiritual mediums do not have this special ability."

"Although you haven't triggered it many times over the years, you should have experienced the benefits this ability brings. So, you must believe in your abilities, as this will greatly increase your survival rate."

"Also, here's some for you. I still have some friends in the church after all these years. If all else fails, you can seek refuge in the church."

Ellis produced a broken cross, faintly stained with blood, which looked like it had a story to tell.

Minnie didn't say anything, she just took the crucifix.

Ellis has no children of her own, but she has truly treated Minnie as her own child all these years, which is why she is so considerate of her at this time.

Minnie hugged Ellis. "Teacher, I'll be back. Don't overwork yourself. If you really can't, hire a nanny to take care of you. That way, you'll have an easier time."

Ellis shook her head.

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

……

Three days later.

Minnie boarded the plane, but as soon as she got on, she sensed something was wrong and stopped in her tracks.

Why do all these passengers seem to be together? And why does the old woman in the seat next to me seem to be emitting some kind of spiritual energy fluctuation?
"You seem to be quite alert."

The old woman smiled and put away her tarot cards, extending her hand, "Hello, I'm Alma, a fortune teller."

Minnie looked around at the people, then walked up to Alma and nodded. "Minnie, medium."

After sitting down, Minnie couldn't wait to ask Alma, "You too?"

Alma nodded with a smile. "That's right. I'm also one of Boss Louis's subordinates. I know you. You were one of the first capable people Boss Louis took in."

Minnie smiled.

The family knows their own affairs.

She may indeed have been one of Louis's first subordinates, but aside from a few occasions when she went to the Cano family's training grounds, she has hardly ever appeared in public or met Louis. To put it bluntly, she has been too free all these years...

“Mrs. Alma, do you know what we’re going to do over there? And about the passengers on this plane, I have a feeling…”

Alma: "Well, because I've always been part of the family, I know a little about these things."

"The boss wants to establish a company in Massachusetts that's similar to an exorcism agency, though there will be some differences."

We primarily serve the wealthy and powerful; we are the seed, the elite personnel.

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

Minnie nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Louis is preparing to expand his business into the mystical world in the north.
In fact.

In addition to them and the employees of these operating companies, a large number of armed forces capable of dealing with the mysterious events are being deployed to Massachusetts in batches.

Louis couldn't simply follow the upper-class route, and besides, even if they worked themselves to death, how much could that solve?
These mass-produced soldiers are the true cornerstone.

With them, along with the elite black-armored soldiers and the two of them, the framework of the new company could be set up.

This was also Louis's newly established base in the north.

One in the south and one in the north, striving for comprehensive coverage of the United States.

Although this goal is still somewhat distant, and the two overseas states haven't even extended their reach yet, the future is promising.

in the sky.

The plane roared forward, carrying the passengers.

above the earth.

One convoy of vehicles and trains after another, 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 prides itself on freedom, as long as you have US dollars, nothing is a problem.

Here, money equals power!

……

Orlando Airport.

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

As for Carrie and the others, they don't have the talent for studying. Even the smartest Emma is barely up to par. Going to MIT would only make them uncomfortable. They would be better off staying in Florida and attending a local university.

Of course, this is only one aspect. More importantly, they need to stay here to carry out Louis's ascension plan, and the ley line nodes still need them to conduct surveys.

So, although Emma, ​​Carrie, and the others really wanted to go to a new place with Louis for an exciting adventure, they obediently chose to stay.

Oh no.

Madison was an exception. Because she didn't want to go to college and wanted to be a star, she was sent to Hollywood, where Edith, the established head of the brothel, would take care of her.

Soon, the plane arrived at its destination—Massachusetts.

This place, near New York State, still looks prosperous, or rather, it has become even more prosperous with today's booming economy.

However, for some reason, the number of homeless people in the alleys has increased rather than decreased, adding an uncivilized touch to this rapidly developing area.

After disembarking from the plane, Louis hung up a call with a board member at MIT, glanced at his location, and then got into his car to head to his new base.

As for reporting to MIT or something.

Since I've already been late for more than half a month, being late a little longer won't be a big deal.

I believe he'll understand, considering the US dollar.

High-rise buildings.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Every American of this era looks like they hold their head high, exuding confidence.

However, Louis's gaze did not linger on them at all; instead, it kept wandering over the homeless people in the alleys and streets.

They were trying their luck to find a certain master of the begging gate.

Unfortunately, it seems Louis wasn't so lucky; he didn't encounter it until he reached the new base.

The vehicle stops.

The building in front of us doesn't look very tall, only seven stories high. Compared to the nearby street shops and upscale supermarkets, it's just the right size.

However, it pales in comparison to companies that reside in office buildings.

But this is the place Louis specifically sought out.

In America, the North and the South represent completely different power structures and economic situations.

Putting aside everything else, political parties alone are different.

Moreover, such a building is more in line with the current positioning of the Cleaner Company.

That's right.

Similar to Rebirth Prison in the South, the Cleaners Company was Louis's secret base for establishing a foothold in the North.

However, unlike the Rebirth Prison, which is a prison on the surface but secretly houses criminals, the Cleaners Company operates in a semi-public manner, much like the Warrens' paranormal association.

no way.

The South and the North are different.

Here, the Kano family doesn't have that much power, and there are some things they can't do, especially the kind of operations they used in the South, like sending out small teams to hunt monsters—something they simply can't do in the North.

Therefore, this is the only option.

We arrived at the Cleaner Company.

As a startup, the place is not yet open for business, but all the staff have arrived and are voluntarily cleaning and setting up their workstations.

These are all senior staff members working on the 20th floor of Cano International, and they know very well what they should and shouldn't do.

Upon seeing Louis enter, he merely bowed slightly and remained silent.

We arrived at the seventh floor.

"Master."

A voice in Chinese appeared in my ear.

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

Louis smiled and went to the office with Uncle Fauci.

As someone from Louis's mother's side and someone who watched Louis grow up, Fouché was probably the person Louis trusted most, apart from David and others.

So Louis brought Uncle Fouché here.

As for what to do?
"Young master, this is the information of shops 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 believes can be engaged in deeper conversations.”

As a steward in the old days, it wasn't enough to simply manage household affairs. He also had to help the master manage the family business, social interactions, and analyze situations. Any family that had achieved prominence would have a steward who was definitely not a simple person.

Many people believe that British butlers are the benchmark, capable of doing a lot for their masters, but in fact, butlers from prominent Eastern families are just as good.

Louis's maternal family, though in decline, may have had some influence before their decline.
So although Uncle Fauci was an old man, he was quite shrewd. He even secretly used some unsavory methods to accumulate wealth for Louis when he was young and arranged an escape route for him, all in order to prevent any accidents from happening to the Cano family.

In his view, gang families cannot last long; they are too prone to accidents. He must prepare a backup plan for the young master's safety and future.

Of course, he didn't say any of this, after all, the young master is living a very good life now, isn't he?
This is enough.

Now, thanks to the panacea and magic-enhancing potion provided by Louis, Uncle Fauci is full of energy and fully capable of helping Louis handle the affairs of the new company.

So Louis transferred him over.

He took the list and glanced at it. The descriptions were very clear, using modern forms and including the scheduled times. Clearly, this old man was not out of touch with the times.

"Uncle Fu, I may not have much time to deal with company matters on my own, so I'll have to rely on you in this regard."

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

Uncle Fu, dressed in a black Tang suit, had a calm expression and bowed slightly. "It is my honor."

"However, young master, I think it is necessary to change the residences of the three young ladies and yours. They are too small and there are too many idle people, which will cause you some minor troubles."

As for the service staff, although the food in England is terrible, their maids are passable. I've already ordered a batch for you; their looks and manners are absolutely top-notch. After a little training when they arrive, they'll be ready to be used.

"I hope you can wait a moment, young master."

???

No, I was talking to you about work, how did you veer into my personal life? And what maid? Do I look like a pervert?

Wait, hiss—

Oh right, these seem to be part of your job too...

Exactly, considering the young master's life and such... isn't that a bit too much?

After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, that apartment is indeed a bit small and inconvenient. Let's do it your way."

"Let's get started now."

"Bring Minnie and Alma up here, along with several captains from the armed forces."

soon.

Feeling uneasy, Minnie followed Alma up in the elevator.

Come to the office.

Just came in.

A sense of pressure washed over me.

The spacious and bright office had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the distance, and various flowers, plants, and fish that she didn't recognize; it looked very luxurious.

Of course, the most important thing is people.

Several tall, muscular men in black armor, looking quite fierce, stood respectfully in front of the desk.

Beside the desk stood an elderly Asian man dressed in a neat black Tang suit, with a slight smile on his face.

Upon hearing the door open, both the burly man and the old man turned their gazes towards them, staring intently at them with unreadable expressions.

scare! !

Minnie felt her heart skip a beat; she was so nervous…

Even Alma, standing next to her, paused slightly, clearly not at peace.

At this moment, only silence and an overwhelming sense of pressure remained in the room.

until.

crunch--

The seat rotated slightly.

Louis, who was sitting in the main seat in the middle of the room, turned around and smiled faintly at Minnie and Alma.

"Long time no see, you two."
