American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 300 Well-deserved reputation
"What a handsome man!"

Janice blurted out a sentence, her eyes sparkling, and she even forgot to take a picture.

Jack was very unhappy that his young and beautiful wife was praising someone else in front of him.

However, as a successful man, Jack did not get angry directly. Instead, he looked at the young man inside the oval object, wanting to find fault with him.

As a result, even Jack, a straight man, had to admit that the man with his eyes closed was incredibly handsome.

Then, the more Jack looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

At this moment, the captain spoke up in surprise.

"Isn't that Roy Black, the guy who just won the Olympic heavyweight boxing gold medal a few days ago?"

There were also people at the scene who had watched the Sydney Olympics, and they all recognized Roy.

There's no way around it, Roy is so handsome that almost everyone who watches the game will remember him, regardless of gender.

Finally, Jack recognized Roy, who had also watched the heavyweight boxing final at the Sydney Olympics.

"It really looks like him! How did he get in here?"

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled as to why Roy was inside such a sealed, gray, oval-shaped object.

Then, the captain, with his particularly vivid imagination, thought of another possibility.

"Could he have been abducted by aliens, experimented on, and then sent back?"

There are many similar news stories in Europe and America during this era, with many people claiming that they were taken away by aliens and then sent back.

Although such news is eventually proven to be false, many people still believe these stories, and the captain is probably one of those people.

Jack noticed that his wife Janice was still staring intently at Roy without blinking, and he became increasingly annoyed, so he couldn't help but sneer at her.

"Janes, what's your opinion?"

Her husband's voice brought Janice back to her senses, but she didn't hear the displeasure in Jack's voice, and her gaze remained fixed on Roy's face.

"I'm wondering if he's still alive?"

These words stunned everyone present. Up until now, they hadn't even considered confirming Roy's life or death, making their previous discussions seem somewhat ridiculous.

The captain looked at Jack.

"boss?"

Jack stroked his chin. Although he didn't have a good impression of Roy because of Janice, it wasn't to the point that he wanted to kill him.

"Then let the ship's doctor examine him!"

The ship's doctor immediately stepped forward to examine Roy's body.

"His pulse and breathing had stopped, but his heart was still beating faintly!"

This discovery surprised everyone. Jack couldn't understand how a person's heart could still beat when their pulse and breathing had stopped.

"Ship's doctor, is this guy alive or dead?"

The ship's doctor provided the answer.

"I suspect that this gentleman is in a state of suspended animation, with most of his physiological functions lost, and only his heart is still maintaining basic vitality."

Upon hearing this, Janice appeared somewhat anxious, an attitude that made Jack frown.

"Ship's doctor, can you save this gentleman?"

“I can try, but I don’t know if I can save him.”

As he spoke, the ship's doctor began attempting to provide first aid to Roy.

At that moment, Jack grabbed Janice by the waist and forcibly took her away.

"Alright, darling, let's not disturb the ship's doctor's rescue! Everyone else, you can leave too, don't forget you still have work to do!"

After the boss gave the order, the crew members dispersed, but two people stayed behind to help the ship's doctor take Roy to the infirmary.

When Roy regained consciousness, he saw a strange middle-aged man shining a medical flashlight into his eyes.

"who are you?"

Roy's sudden awakening startled the ship's doctor, as Roy hadn't even begun formal emergency treatment before he woke up on his own.

"You're awake! I'm the ship's doctor, you can call me Bruce."

Roy had been unconscious for too long and was still somewhat dazed. He tried to sit up but was unable to.

"Don't move around! I suspect you have decompression sickness. Did you go diving recently?"

Decompression sickness refers to the condition caused by inadequate decompression after leaving a high-pressure environment, leading to the formation of nitrogen bubbles and blood clots in the blood, which can seriously affect health.

Severe decompression sickness can be fatal.

Roy's later battle with the Kraken took place in the deep sea, which could indeed be considered diving, but his physical strength was strong enough that decompression sickness wouldn't kill him.

After all, Roy survived for several days in a state of oxygen deprivation, let alone a minor decompression sickness.

It can only be said that Mr. Blake is becoming increasingly despicable.

"W-where am I?"

"You are on the North tanker, and we are heading to an oil well in the Pacific Ocean."

The ship's doctor answered Roy's questions while examining his body.

"Did you save me?"

"No, it was Mrs. Janice who found you, and the other crew members who rescued you."

The ship's doctor took out a syringe, preparing to draw blood for testing, but Roy stopped him just as the syringe was about to pierce his arm.

"No need for further examination, my body is perfectly normal."

As he spoke, Roy sat up abruptly, though his body was still swaying slightly.

You can't let the ship's doctor draw your blood, otherwise the doctor will find that the syringe can't pierce your body at all.

"Didn't I tell you not to move? Your body is very weak!"

"I'm really fine! If you want to help me, get me something to eat!"

The reason Roy was able to survive these past few days was largely because he absorbed a large amount of life energy using the Touch of Darkness during his battle with the Kraken. This life energy sustained Roy's basic physiological functions.

However, after a few days, his life energy had been almost completely depleted. If Roy were to drift for a few more days, he might really die.

"No! For your health's sake, I have to draw your blood for a checkup!"

The ship's doctor, of course, didn't believe such unscientific claims, and he held Roy down, trying to forcibly draw blood.

With no other option, Roy simply kicked the ship's doctor over and jumped off the bed.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bruce, I don't like being touched."

This is the super self-healing ability; it only took Roy a few minutes to get rid of the negative effects of the apparent death state.

In the past, Roy would have been weak for at least several hours.

However, the price of his super healing ability is that Roy becomes much hungrier; he feels so hungry he could eat several cows right now.

The ship's doctor looked at Roy in surprise.

"How did you get up so quickly?"

"I'm an athlete, so I'm in good physical condition. Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!"

In the North's dining hall, many people stared in disbelief as Roy ate, for he had already consumed a whole day's worth of food for the entire crew, and he was still eating. Such an appetite would undoubtedly win any competitive eating contest.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Roy's stomach didn't change at all after eating so much, as if everything he ate had gone to another world.

"One more!"

The cook didn't react because Roy had eaten far too much, which might affect the crew's diet.

At that moment, Jack walked in with Janice.

Janice's eyes lit up again when she saw Roy.

Well, Roy's clothes had already been torn apart when he transformed into his demon form, so he's wearing his ship's work clothes now.

But Roy's handsome looks couldn't be hidden by his drab work clothes. Janice was captivated by him almost instantly, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Fortunately, Jack didn't notice Janice's expression or eyes this time; he was just looking at Roy and the huge pile of plates in front of him in surprise.

"What on earth is going on? Why did he wake up so quickly? And what's the meaning of these plates?"

The head chef walked up to Jack with a troubled expression and explained what had happened, leaving Jack speechless.

"You called me over just for this? How much did he eat?"

"He ate a whole day's worth of food!"

Upon hearing this, Jack, like everyone else, was stunned.

"What did you say? A whole day? Are you kidding me?"

"Boss, it's true! Everyone in the restaurant saw it!"

Jack was speechless. He looked at Roy, whose physique was still standard, even perfect, and then at his own one-pack abs...

How can there be such a huge difference between people?

Shaking off his gloomy mood, Jack sat down opposite Roy.

"Aren't you full yet?"

Roy nodded. He was only about half full, and his hunger was still very strong.

"Head chef, please make some more food for this gentleman."

"Boss, what about the food reserves..."

"Didn't we prepare a month's worth of food for this voyage? It should be enough for the round trip. Go and cook him something to eat!"

In ancient times, ships would definitely prepare food in advance before setting sail, and they would usually prepare a little more to prevent any accidents at sea.

However, modern ships don't carry much food when they go to sea, since navigation and other technologies are very advanced, and the safety of going to sea is not comparable to that of ancient times.

Fortunately, Jack's voyage was to drill wells near Antarctica, and since there were no places to resupply nearby, he had prepared plenty of food and fresh water.

The head chef listened to Jack and went to cook, while Jack chatted with Roy.

“My name is Jack Davis. Are you Mr. Roy Black, the heavyweight boxing champion at this year’s Sydney Olympics?”

Roy wasn't surprised that he was recognized; the ship's doctor and head chef had both recognized him before and asked for his autograph.

"Yes, I am Roy Black."

"Mr. Black, can you tell me why you are being floated on the sea wrapped in a gray oval object?"

This is something everyone on the ship wants to know.

"Actually, the Santiago cruise ship I was on was involved in a shipwreck. I found something strange on the ship and crawled inside. I drifted at sea for several days until you found me."

The newspapers had already published Roy's story about traveling on the Santiago, so there was no way to hide it anymore.

Jack was very surprised to hear this.

"The Santiago? That's the world's largest luxury cruise ship? It's been shipwrecked?"

"Yes, there are probably only a few people left alive on the entire ship."

Roy didn't believe that the Santiago could have had any other survivors after the Kraken's strangulation; those who escaped with him should be the only survivors.

Upon hearing this, Jack's expression became somewhat anxious.

"Do you know how Charles Weyland is doing?"

Roy glanced at Jack with surprise.

"Mr. Davis, you know Charles too?"

Jack nodded.

“Charles is my business partner; we’ve collaborated on many investments, and we’ve been good friends for many years. What about you?”

Roy scrutinized Jack and realized that the man did indeed seem to be not much younger than Charles, making it quite possible that the two were friends.

Since he's Charles's friend, that makes things simple.

"I'm currently dating Serena."

Roy brought up Serena directly, and Jack had no doubts whatsoever; his attitude became much warmer.

"So he's Serena's new boyfriend. How are Charles and Serena doing now?"

"I saw them get on the lifeboats, so they should be able to be rescued successfully."

Jack breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Black, I will explain the Santiago’s sinking to the outside world via satellite phone, but please forgive me for not being able to get you back to land immediately, as I still need to inspect my oil wells.”

“Mr. Davis, I am already very grateful that you and your wife saved me. There is no need for you to cancel your trip to take me to land.”

By this time, the head chef had finished preparing the food and brought it up. Jack stood up and stopped disturbing Roy's meal.

“Mr. Black, please continue eating. I’ll go make a phone call now.”

After saying that, Jack hurriedly left the restaurant, forgetting to take his beloved wife, Janice, with him.

Just then, Roy, who was wolfing down his food, felt a beautiful young woman sit down opposite him.

One glance almost made Roy choke.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Janice handed the water glass to Roy and then walked behind him and gently patted his back.

"Thank you!"

After Roy swallowed his food, he kept giving Janice a strange look.

Isn't that Kelly Brook?
Kelly Brook is probably the most successful football babe and Page 3 girl in Britain, and she successfully entered the film industry through her relationship with her boyfriend Jason Statham.

Although she can only play roles that involve selling sex appeal in low-budget films, crossing the threshold from a football babe to the film industry is like crossing an insurmountable chasm.

However, Roy's strongest impression of Kelly Brook was her twins.

I glanced at it, and it truly lived up to its reputation!

Roy's strange look seemed to cause Janice to misunderstand. She blushed and lowered her head, behaving like a girl who had just fallen in love.

"Why are you looking at me like that!"

"Feel sorry!"

Roy quickly looked away and focused on the food.
