American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 354 Look in my eyes
The wine in the goblet was the same color as real blood, making Saltana and Claire, who had been somewhat eager to try it, hesitate.

Could this be real blood?

Having no other choice, Roy set an example for the two by picking up his wine glass and downing it in one gulp.

Jesus' blood looked like blood and smelled bloody, but after drinking it, Roy felt a mouthful of bitterness and pain, as if he had experienced countless sufferings.

This drink wasn't particularly delicious, but it left me with a sense of loss afterward.

Seeing that Roy was fine after drinking the blood of Jesus, Saltana and Claire also picked up their glasses and took a sip, and then both of them showed a bitter face.

This piqued Marianne's curiosity, and after some struggle, she also drank the blood of Jesus, after which she also wore a bitter expression.

It was so bitter!

"How was it? How did you feel after drinking it?"

Lucifer looked at the four of them with a smile, as if he was looking forward to their evaluation.

"My assessment is that vampires definitely wouldn't like this kind of alcohol."

Roy didn't give a direct evaluation, but instead made a little joke.

Upon hearing this, Lucifer burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Mr. Blake, I must say you are truly fascinating! No wonder Raphael enjoys being friends with you!"

At this point, Marianne finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"What kind of tricks are you playing? This is hilarious!"

Lucifer looked somewhat unhappy, clearly displeased with Marian's repeated antics.

Roy looked at Marian.

"Ms. Morgan, you wanted to make some big news out of me, but now that your plan has succeeded, why are you unhappy?"

Marian glared at Roy through gritted teeth.

"No one would believe this kind of news!"

Roy shook his head.

"That's your problem, and I bet you have no chance of getting this news out."

Don't assume that America's news isn't censored; it's just that their censorship focuses on a different approach.

"Can't you just give me a proper interview?"

"And what's the price? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Marian bit her lip as she looked at Roy, her face filled with resentment.

"So, all you really want is my body, isn't it?"

Roy gave a cold laugh.

"You're really arrogant, Marianne! You don't think your body is so noble, do you? Actually, the women who want to have a one-night stand with me could line up all the way to San Francisco. It's not certain who'll get the better deal between us!"

Marian opened her mouth, she had to admit that Roy was right, because in the afternoon she searched for information about Roy online and found that America alone had more than a dozen Roy Black fan clubs, and women on these fan club forums would post messages for Roy every day.

Not to mention worldwide, the Olympic stage spread Roy's charm to every place that can receive television signals, and now there are Roy's fan clubs all over the world.

“Ms. Morgan, I think you should take a good look at yourself. Your problems are already very serious. If you continue like this, you will definitely make a big mistake in the future.”

Marian was somewhat dejected and didn't know how to talk to Roy for a moment.

Roy glanced at the time.

“Mr. Lucifer, it’s getting late, I should head back now. Let’s have a drink together another time.”

Lucifer smiled and nodded.

“Mr. Black, it’s a pleasure to have a drink with you tonight. Well then, before you leave, let me give you a hint: the lady next to you seems to have something special about her body.”

Lucifer pointed at Claire, and Roy was stunned.

Is Claire's constitution special?
So is that why Claire is being stalked by vampires?
The question is, what exactly is so special about Claire's constitution?
Roy left the booth with Saltana and Claire while pondering the situation.

Somewhat frustrated, Marian watched Roy leave, but gritted her teeth and followed him. When she arrived at the corridor, it felt as if she had passed through a layer of water.

When I turned back, Lucifer had vanished from the booth.

"What exactly is going on?"

Marianne muttered to herself in disbelief, what she had witnessed tonight clearly shattered the education she had received over the past decade.

But by then, Roy and his two companions had already gone far away, so Marian had no choice but to put aside her doubts for the time being and follow them out of the Time Bar.

The three returned to the secluded back alley of Time Bar, where Bumblebee was already waiting.

However, before sending Claire back to school, Roy had a few questions for this senior student.

"Claire, are you aware of your special physical condition?"

Claire was completely bewildered; she had no idea she possessed any special physical attributes.

"I...I don't know! I don't think I've ever been anything special since I was a child!"

Roy frowned slightly.

Would you mind if I touched your hand?

This was somewhat presumptuous of her to say, but Claire did not refuse, though her cheeks flushed slightly.

"can."

Roy took Claire's hand and began to examine her body.

At this point, Roy discovered that Claire was actually a hybrid of angel and human, and that her angelic bloodline was of a rather high quality.

Although he is not as good as Roy, he is much better than Nydy.

"Claire, are you a half-angel?"

"Huh? What angel? How could I be an angel!"

Claire looked even more bewildered.

Just as Roy was about to explain, he sensed someone watching him.

"Stop sneaking around. If you want to see, come out and see openly."

Marianne walked out with a complicated expression, watching Roy hold Claire's hand.

"Mr. Blake, is this how you pick up girls?"

Upon hearing this, Claire shyly shook off Roy's hand.

"You, you're talking nonsense. Roy is my best friend's boyfriend. I have nothing to do with him."

It would have been better not to explain; the explanation only makes it seem more suspicious.

Now, not only Marian, but even Saltana was looking at Claire with ambiguous eyes, which made Claire even more shy.

However, Roy ignored Marian and instead took Claire's hand again.

"Claire, you are indeed a half-angel, you just hadn't awakened before. If you don't believe me, I can stimulate you to awaken. Do you want to try?"

Claire, suppressing her shyness, asked Roy curiously.

"It's actually very simple. You're a virgin, right?"

"Hey Roy, why are you suddenly asking such a question!"

As mentioned before, it's very embarrassing to remain a childlike child in America, so Claire immediately felt ashamed.

"Answer my question, I'm not joking!"

Claire covered her face with one hand and nodded shyly.

"That's good! Now feel my power with your heart."

The next second, Roy transformed into an angel, with a halo above his head, a halo under his feet, and four pairs of wings of light extending from his back.

This scene left both Claire and Marian in shock. "Everyday Angel!"

"Claire, feel my power!"

Roy channeled the power of holy light into Claire's hand, and she immediately felt a warm and wonderful power enter her body.

This power made Claire feel comfortable, like returning to a warm home, both familiar and strange.

Then, Claire felt as if something was about to well up inside her.

"Roy, I feel really weird!"

"Don't resist, feel it with your heart!"

Soon, Claire adapted to the power, and then holy light surged from her body.

"what--"

Another angel appeared, but the angel that Claire transformed into only had two pairs of wings, and the intensity of the holy light was clearly not as strong as Roy's.

But this is already very rare, because Roy and Nydy were two-winged angels when they first transformed, while Clarley was a four-winged angel from the start.

This shows that Claire's angelic bloodline is very pure.

Could it be that Claire's mother conceived her through a direct union with a high angel?
Marian, who was standing to the side, finally came to her senses and looked at Roy in disbelief.

"It was all real! I always thought what I saw that day was just a hallucination!"

Roy glanced at Marian.

"Why are you still here? Can you please stop interfering with our business?"

Marian gritted her teeth, not daring to retort to Roy, and could only suppress her anger.

"Alright, Claire, change back! The first transformation is extremely taxing on your body!"

"But how can I change back?"

"Feel your heart! Make your choice with your soul!"

Under Roy's guidance, Claire successfully transformed back into a human, then collapsed into Roy's arms.

“Roy, I didn’t expect Claire to be a half-angel, but that still doesn’t explain why the Elders are looking for her! It can’t be that the third-generation vampires in the Elders are tired of living and want to commit suicide by finding Claire, right?”

Saltana shook her head, feeling that the current situation was completely shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to understand what was going on.

"You'd have to ask a vampire to know the answer to that."

Saltana wore a thoughtful expression and muttered to herself.

"Do you have to ask a vampire to know?"

"Sister Saltana, don't overthink it! What you need most right now is rest. Let me take you home, Bumblebee!"

A yellow Chevrolet Camaro drove up to Roy on its own, and Roy put the weak Claire into the car.

"Okay, maybe you're right, I really should get some rest."

Saltana listened to Roy and obediently got into the car.

Marian, who was standing to the side, stomped her foot.

"Mr. Black, what about me?"

Roy glanced at Marian.

"Have you thought it through?"

These words stunned Marianne.

Roy's meaning was quite clear: if Marian really wanted to improve, she would have to pay a price.

Marian was clearly not prepared for this, so Roy immediately started the Bumblebee and drove it towards Saltana's house.

"Wait! I'm not in the car yet!"

The bumblebee showed no sign of stopping and drove further and further away.

Marian gritted her teeth as she watched the yellow muscle car drive away. She didn't know what her mindset was; it seemed she was simply unwilling to admit defeat.

"Roy Black, don't get cocky, I'll definitely succeed!"

Just then, a Jerry ran out from the side and glanced at Marian curiously.

"Ah! There's a mouse!"

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated church in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a man in a magnificent robe stares blankly at a broken cross.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and a pale-faced man walked in and knelt on one knee in front of the man in the gorgeous robe.

"Chief Valentine, our plan has failed!"

The man in the magnificent robe turned to look at his subordinates behind him, his movements noble and elegant.

"Oh? Failed again?"

His subordinates seemed a little scared, but failure is failure, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

"Yes, leader, all 11 vampire warriors we sent out have lost contact."

The man in the ornate robe instantly turned grim, his expression becoming incredibly ferocious.

"Useless! What good are you bunch of useless trash! I can understand why you failed to capture Jocelyn Frey, since that woman was once a famous vampire hunter. But why couldn't you even capture an ordinary little girl who hadn't received any training!"

The man in the magnificent robe grabbed his subordinate in front of him, and in his hands, the burly subordinate was no different from a ball of cotton.

Answer me! Look in my eyes!

The subordinate had no idea why he had failed, and faced with the angry, ornately dressed man, he could only beg for mercy.

"Chief Valentine, spare me! I know nothing! I was just a messenger!"

"Useless trash! Someone like you deserves to die!"

As he spoke, the man in the magnificent robe used some kind of ability to turn his subordinate into a pool of pus and blood.

Even so, the guy was still not satisfied and stomped on the pus and blood several times.

Just then, a small figure walked in.

"Father, there's no need to be so angry. Why don't you leave this matter to me?"

The man in the magnificent robe turned to look at the newcomer, his expression instantly softening.

“Oh, Abigail, my good daughter! You don’t need to do such small things, and your body needs rest!”

A cute little girl walked over and hugged the man in the gorgeous robe.

"But my father has waited so long for this opportunity, I absolutely cannot let him fail!"

A man in a magnificent robe stroked the little girl's hair.

"Good child, with your help I will definitely succeed!"

After embracing for a while, the man in the magnificent robe released the little girl.

“Abigail, I can’t let you do all this. Some people have taken so many benefits from the Elders, they have to do something about it!”

"Father, do you mean Henry?"

The man in the magnificent robe nodded.

"My original purpose in supporting him was simply to obtain some fresh blood, but I never expected him to expand his business so much that it even amazed me. Now, it's his turn to repay my investment; the Elders' Council's things aren't so easy to take!"

Upon hearing this, the little girl licked her lips, revealing incredibly sharp teeth.

"Heh! I know what that guy did! Father, can I go find him myself? I'm very curious about what kind of person he is, and what his blood tastes like!"

"Of course, no problem, my child!"

The man in the magnificent robe gently stroked the little girl's head, a beautiful gesture that seemed somewhat strange in the face of the blood-soaked ground.
