American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 277 Invitation

"Of course no problem."

Roy followed Charles Weyland to a quieter corner to start their business, leaving Jennifer and Serena staring at each other blankly.

Actually, it wasn't anything major; it was just that Charles's cruise company wanted to capitalize on the Olympics by embarking on a round-the-world trip starting in Australia.

The plan was originally very good, but who could have imagined that a major bloody incident would occur in Sydney a few days ago, scaring away many wealthy tourists.

Therefore, Charles wanted to invite some sports stars to add some flair to the event.

To be honest, Roy was very tempted by this suggestion. Not only could he enjoy a luxury cruise trip for free, but he could also make some money.

Since Roy's schedule is currently unscheduled after the Olympics, this is something he could consider.

“Wieland, I need to discuss this with my family first.”

"Of course, this kind of thing needs to be discussed with family members. Mr. Blake, I await your good news."

Charles clinked glasses with Roy and then prepared to leave.

"By the way, Mr. Wieland!"

Roy suddenly called out to Charles, who turned around and looked at him with a beaming smile.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Blake?"

"Mr. Wieland, I wonder if the rooms on your cruise ship are big enough?"

Roy blinked.

Charles gave him a knowing smile.

"Excellent! You truly are the pride of Texas. I'm sure you'll be satisfied, Mr. Blake!"

This means that a cooperation agreement has been reached.

However, Roy really didn't expect that Charles Weyland was also from Texas. It seems that this guy's decision to contact him was not a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Texas is considered the most xenophobic state in America, and it also faces exclusion from other parts of America.

The most typical example is California. In many Hollywood movies, Texans are portrayed as rude and stupid country bumpkins.

While many Texas rednecks do resemble this image, not all of them are like that; at least Roy and Jennifer certainly aren't.

Therefore, Texans tend to stick together when they are away from home.

Perhaps Charles wanted to sponsor Roy, the rising boxing star from Texas.

Roy wasn't particularly concerned about the sponsorship, but it seemed nice that someone was willing to give him money for free.

Charles returned to his daughter Serena, intending to take her away, but Serena didn't want to leave; she clearly wanted to talk to Roy some more.

Charles didn't say much about it; he's always been quite doting on his daughter.

So Serena ignored Jennifer's presence and squeezed next to Roy, asking him all sorts of questions, practically wearing her thoughts on her sleeve.

This made Jennifer somewhat unhappy, especially when Serena mentioned her usual life, which made her feel a little inferior.

Although Charles Weyland is from Texan, his main business is in New York, so Serena usually lives and attends school in Manhattan, New York.

It's quite a coincidence that Serena and Roy are the same age and will be entering university in the fall.

"Mr. Blake, are you going straight into professional boxing, or will you go back to university for further studies?"

Serena looked at Roy with curiosity.

Roy quietly took Jennifer's hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Having gone through so much hardship together, and even having a relationship where they exchanged virginity, how could they be so easily replaced?

Feeling the warmth of Roy's hand, Jennifer smiled sweetly, instantly forgetting her earlier unhappiness.

"In the second half of the year, I will take my talents to UCLA."

Serena's eyes widened.

"UCLA? Why do you want to go to the West Coast? Why not come to New York? Columbia University is the place for someone as talented as you!"

It's obvious that Serena is planning to go to Columbia University, which is why she said that.

However, Roy had already made so many preparations in Los Angeles, so naturally he wouldn't change his mind just because of Serena's words.

"I prefer the weather in California."

New York's weather is definitely not comparable to California's, and even the most passionate New Yorkers have to admit that.

Serena seemed to want to continue persuading Roy to go to Columbia University, but at that moment, a handsome young man of similar age to the others walked over.

Serena, so you were here!

The guy's gaze was initially focused on Serena, but when he saw Jennifer's face, his eyes widened in amazement.

Upon seeing Roy, that look of amazement turned into a faint hostility.

He's probably one of Serena's suitors. Serena is young, beautiful, and comes from such a good family, it's normal for her to have suitors.

Judging from this boy's clothes and demeanor, his family background must be quite impressive.

Unexpectedly, Serena didn't give this suitor a warm welcome.

“Nate Archibald, why aren’t you going to see your Blair? What are you doing here?”

Judging from this, is this boy trying to have his cake and eat it too?
Someone who doesn't know their own worth dares to pull this kind of trick.

After sizing up the young man named Nate, I noticed a huge difference in physique between him and Roy.

Roy is the kind of person who looks slim in clothes, but his broad shoulders are still a size bigger than Nate's.

However, Roy wanted to be considerate of Jennifer's feelings and didn't want to get entangled with Serena for the time being. Just then, someone came looking for Serena, so he prepared to say goodbye.

“Ms. Wieland, since someone is looking for you, Jennifer and I will excuse ourselves for a moment.”

Serena held onto Roy, preventing him from leaving, while giving Nate a disdainful look.

“Mr. Blake, don’t mind this boring guy, let’s continue our conversation!”

"Serena, I really have broken up with Blair! Why won't you accept me?"

"That's your problem, not mine. I just want to talk to Mr. Black right now!"

Serena stared at Roy without blinking, completely ignoring Nate.

Roy and Jennifer exchanged a glance, speechless.

too messy!
But these days, America's relationships with men and women are so chaotic, the richer they are, the more chaotic they are, like a ball of yarn with no end in sight.

On the contrary, Roy's relationships are particularly simple, because they are a network centered around Roy.

“Ms. Wieland, I have no intention of getting involved in your conversation. Why don’t you come find me after you’ve finished talking?”

Although Roy also enjoys gossip, it wouldn't be pleasant to become the subject of gossip himself.

At this moment, some guests around were already watching Roy, seemingly all ready to see the gossip.

It would be fine if Roy had done something, but he didn't do anything at all, so it feels like he's been cheated out of his time by being spied on.

Upon hearing this, Serena glared at Nate with displeasure.

"It's all your fault! Can't you stay away from me?!"

Nate, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old, couldn't handle such stimulation, and his temper flared up instantly.

Instead of taking his anger out on Serena, he looked at Roy.

"You brat, what's it to you? Can't you just get lost?"

Roy laughed in exasperation and reached out to tap Nate's chest.

"Kid, if she doesn't like you, don't bother her! Why don't you go back to your Blair? Maybe she'll forgive you and take in a stray dog ​​like you!" Nate couldn't help himself and tried to grab Roy's collar, but Roy reacted even faster and slapped the other's hand away.

"You bastard! If you've got the guts, come outside and fight me one-on-one!"

Upon hearing this, Serena and Jennifer both burst out laughing, especially Jennifer, who was laughing so hard she could only stand by leaning on Roy's shoulder.

"Nate, are you serious? Mr. Blake is the newly crowned Olympic heavyweight boxing champion! Are you planning to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair?"

Nate's face flushed red and then paled. He finally understood why Roy looked so familiar. At first, he had thought Roy was a wealthy and powerful young man like himself.

For a moment, Nate didn't know what to say.

"me……"

Roy waved his hand; he really had no interest in beating up a weakling, and there was no treasure chest to get, so why waste his energy?

Moreover, boxers can be banned from fighting in public.

"Get lost, someone like you isn't worth my time."

Roy didn't want to waste any more time with Serena, so he gently broke free from her and pulled Jennifer to another part of the party.

Roy and Jennifer wandered around the party for a while before quietly leaving.

Back in the car, Jennifer leaned on Roy's shoulder, looking somewhat tired.

Maintaining an elegant and charming smile at a cocktail party takes considerable effort, especially since the two of them are the focus of the event.

"Roy, do you not like these kinds of occasions?"

Roy stroked Jennifer's hair as he answered.

"I really don't like it; I feel like it's a waste of time."

With Roy's strength, everyone present combined wouldn't be enough for him to kill alone, so he doesn't need this kind of social interaction at all.

But that's the social order; some things can be done, and some things cannot.

“Then leave these kinds of things to me from now on, Roy.”

Roy glanced at Jennifer with surprise; her eyes were gleaming.

"Do you still want to take over my public relations work and become my spokesperson?"

Jennifer bit her lip lightly, clearly showing some lack of confidence.

"I can learn how to be your spokesperson while I'm in college!"

Roy smiled and pressed his forehead against Jennifer's.

"Do whatever you want, I'll support you."

Jennifer smiled happily.

"Yes, I will definitely do my best to do this job well!"

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a while, and the atmosphere in the car quickly turned pink.

Jennifer's eyes welled up with tears, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

Roy didn't want to mess around in the hotel parking garage; who knew if paparazzi were filming there, and the security camera footage was also a problem.

Well, now that Roy is a public figure, he has some image to maintain.

So Roy decided to drive back to the hotel to continue the fight.

But at this moment, Jennifer suddenly bent down and began to perform maintenance on the gear shift lever.

Roy was caught off guard and slammed on the brakes, which made Jennifer roll her eyes.

"Ugh! Roy, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just a bit too sudden!"

Roy looked at Jennifer with a strange expression; Jennifer had never done anything like this for Roy before.

Where did you learn all these tricks?

Jennifer tossed her hair, her face slightly flushed, looking a little shy.

“Nidi downloaded some videos online and dragged me to watch them, saying she wanted to learn some techniques. I learned them by watching the videos. Roy, don’t you like it?”

That girl, Nidi... did a fantastic job!

"If you like it, you can continue!"

Roy pressed Jennifer's head back so she could continue with the gearshift maintenance.

While Jennifer's attitude toward learning is commendable, some skills cannot be learned simply by being willing to learn.

Roy's talent is so outstanding that it's beyond what Jennifer, a beginner, can handle.

Beginners always experience some pain, but fortunately Roy is tough and not afraid of this little pain, patiently teaching Jennifer how to maintain the gearshift.

Jennifer has a good talent for this, and her skincare routine has become increasingly skillful, making Roy feel more and more comfortable.

This was quite a test for Roy, who was driving. Fortunately, Roy's willpower was strong enough. His 59 points of willpower were enough to keep him sober enough to drive back, though at a much slower speed.

Finally, through Jennifer's persistent efforts, she successfully squeezed a large amount of lubricating oil out of the gearshift lever.

As for why there's lubricating oil in the gearshift lever, Roy can only say it's a miracle!
Jennifer suppressed the urge to gag and swallowed the protein-rich lubricant. She almost couldn't catch it; the amount was just too much.

After tidying their clothes, the two got out of the car. In front of Roy's parents and Nydy's parents, they still had to pay some attention to their image.

"Luxury cruise ship?"

Philip looked at Roy in surprise.

"Yes, it's the Santiago, the world's number one luxury cruise ship. The owner invited me to board it for a round-the-world trip."

Sarah, the mother, shook her head helplessly.

“I’m sorry, Roy! Your father and I have already used up our annual leave, so we definitely can’t participate in such a long event.”

"That's it."

Philip patted Roy on the shoulder.

"Yeah! Roy, go have fun by yourself. You can bring Jennifer and Nydy along. Try to bring me back a grandson after your round-the-world trip!"

Sarah couldn't help but slap Philip on the shoulder for saying such outrageous things.

"What are you talking about! Roy and the others just graduated and are going to college!"

Philip looked at Sarah strangely.

"Back then, we had just graduated and..."

Sarah blushed and covered Philip's mouth; if she didn't, who knew what he might say?

"Roy, go have fun! Don't worry about us. Remember to have fun and be careful, okay?"

Roy nodded.

In fact, Roy hasn't worn sports protective gear for a long time, and as his life form continues to evolve, his fertility is actually declining.

So it doesn't matter whether you use protection or not, if you get pregnant, just give birth.

Then, Roy called Nydy and received more bad news from her.

"Roy, Jennifer and I may not be able to accompany you on the cruise."
