American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 360 The Big Cart
Roy shook his head. With his physical attributes of 129, he could go a month without sleeping without much of a problem.

"You can just sleep."

Claire closed her eyes, and her breathing quickly became steady; she was indeed a little tired.

Not long after, Roy's phone suddenly vibrated. Roy quickly answered the phone so that the ringtone wouldn't disturb Claire's sleep.

Then Roy took his phone and went outside the room to answer a call.

"Hi, I'm Roy."

"Roy, it's me, Saltana! I've arrived at my destination, where are you all?"

Roy was speechless. He and Claire had already arrived at the Shadow Hunters' base, while Saltana had only just arrived at the villa.

Seriously, without Roy, FEA would have been a waste of time.

"Sister Saltana, why are you so slow?"

Saltana sighed.

"Don't even mention it. I spent hours arguing with Paxton Fairtay when I applied for the operation last night before it was approved."

Well, now that Gerald isn't in Los Angeles, there's really no one to check Deputy Chief Paxton Fairtay.

Roy had previously suspected that this guy was connected to Amacham and was probably just deliberately causing trouble.

After all, Gerald has openly turned against Amacham, and Saltana, as a key figure in Gerald's faction, is bound to be harassed by Paxton Felttie.

“Sister Saltana, Claire and I are already at the Shadow Hunters’ base.”

Roy explained the general situation of the Shadow Hunters, and Saltana fell silent after listening.

“I know this organization. They have indeed been fighting on the front lines against dark creatures, but these people don’t follow federal government laws very well and often cause trouble.”

It turns out that the Shadow Hunters are an underground organization without official recognition.

"Didn't you try to recruit Shadow Hunters?"

The FEA has confirmed that these Shadow Hunters are already-trained agents, saving them the time of training.

"The current leader of the Shadow Hunters, Hodge Starkweather, has a deep distrust of the federal government, and the FEA has tried to recruit the Shadow Hunters several times without success. It's only because the Shadow Hunters have indeed dealt with a lot of dark creatures that the FEA has been able to wipe out the organization long ago."

After learning that Roy was with the Shadow Hunters, Saltana decided to abandon her mission for the night.

“Roy, I’m about to call it a day. Do you want to come with me to Sangeviki? I want to talk to Archina and find out what’s going on with the elders.”

Upon hearing this, Roy immediately pictured the tall female vampire in his mind.

"Do I absolutely have to go?"

Saltana sounded somewhat helpless on the other end of the phone.

"Because you haven't kept your promise, Archina has stopped selling me information."

“Okay, then I’ll go with you. Wait, what about Claire if I go with you? She’s still sleeping!”

"Hey, did you manage to win Claire over?"

Saltana's reaction made Roy's face darken.

“Sister Saltana, don’t talk nonsense. Claire and I are just friends.”

"It's only a matter of time! I think the Shadow Hunter base should be relatively safe, so you don't need to worry too much. If all else fails, you can leave Sadako or Kayako behind to protect Claire."

Saltana was unaware that the Cursed Daggers were currently with Heather and Penny, but Roy also had Francesca, who could serve as a bodyguard.

“I understand. We’ll meet outside Sanjiviki.”

Roy placed the Smith & Wesson M629 revolver on Claire's bedside table, gave Francesca some instructions, left a note, and then quietly left the Shadow Hunters' base.

Thanks to the deceptive space, no one noticed that Roy had left.

Outside the Sangevik Bar in Los Angeles.

Although it was close to midnight, the Sanjiviki bar was surprisingly lively.

This surprised Roy and Saltana when they came in.

Because the location of Zangie Vicky is relatively remote, most of the people who come here are neutral vampires or werewolves.

Therefore, the customer traffic is actually not very large. Achina Timitrescu makes money more from selling information than from the bar business.

When Archina, who was standing at the bar, saw Roy and Saltana enter, her eyes lit up.

"Mr. Black, you've finally decided to come to my little bar?"

Achina's expression and tone were filled with an indescribable resentment, like a widow abandoned by her husband, which made Roy feel somewhat awkward.

"Uh, I've been too busy before, so I haven't had time to come here."

"Hmm? You've been so busy every time you've come to Los Angeles?"

Huh, how did Archina know that I've been to Los Angeles several times?
Roy looked at Saltana strangely, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

“Sorry, Roy, you really messed me up last time, so I complained to Archina a bit, and I accidentally revealed that you had been to Los Angeles.”

Upon hearing this, Roy glanced sideways.

It wasn't an accident!
"Well, Mrs. Timitrescu, it was indeed my fault, and I apologize!"

Roy promptly apologized, and Archina's expression immediately brightened.

"An apology isn't enough! You have to make it up to me!"

A 2.8-meter-tall female giant made a movement that resembled that of a young girl, which was truly an eyesore.

"Mrs. Timitrescu, we can discuss compensation later. The main reason we came to see you today is to talk about the elders..."

Roy had barely uttered his first word when Archina immediately covered his mouth.

"Shh! This is a topic we can't discuss in public! Come with me!"

Archina called her daughter over to help her watch the bar, while she led Roy and Saltana deeper into the bar.

The Sangevik Bar was already in the basement, and Archina was going to take the two of them down there. Roy almost thought he was going to end up in the subway.

Finally, Archina led Roy and Saltana to a secluded, luxurious room.

"Are you asking about the recent large-scale invasion of the West Coast by the Elder Council's vampires?"

Roy and Saltana exchanged a glance; Archina indeed knew something.

"Mrs. Timitrescu, do you know what's going on?"

Archina leaned down to look at Roy and licked her lips.

“Although I moved from Eastern Europe to Los Angeles, my intelligence network there hasn’t been broken. I do know some of the Presbyterian Church’s secrets, but why should I tell you?”

Here it comes! Roy knew he was going to pay a heavy price this time.

"Mrs. Timitrescu, how much money do you want?"

Archina shook her head.

"I don't want money, I just want you!"

"Mrs. Timitrescu, you can't even buy me with this little bit of information!"

"Who said I wanted to buy you? I just haven't felt that impulse in a long time, but when I saw you, my dormant heart suddenly began to stir again. Mr. Blake, can you understand how I feel?"

Roy, of course, wouldn't understand, after all, he wasn't a vampire.

However, Saltana seemed to sympathize with Archina and even spoke up for her. "Roy, please grant Archina's wish; she's really had a tough time!"

Roy tilted his head and looked at Saltana.

"Sister Saltana, what benefits did Archina give you?!"

Saltana smiled sheepishly.

"No, I just want to find an ally to deal with you."

Roy rolled his eyes. It seemed that Saltana was still scared by what happened last time.

But Roy had no choice but to sacrifice his looks.

"Then let's get started!"

Upon hearing this, Achina's joy was palpable.

“Mr. Black, oh no, Roy, please come with me!”

Archina led Roy to a hidden bedroom with a very high ceiling, almost four meters high, and a huge bed, which was probably where the female vampire usually rested.

Achina sat on the bed, her eyes revealing the unique gaze of a carnivorous woman.

"Roy, do we need to make some preparations? The next period of time might be quite long!"

Haha, it's not like Roy hasn't fought tall women before. After all, Elizabeth and Asmodeus were both quite tall when they revealed their true forms.

However, this is truly my first time fighting a vampire.

Roy walked up to Archina and looked up at her.

"I don't like looking up at people like this. Do you have any ideas?"

Archina's eyes lit up immediately, and she knelt down with a thud. Even when kneeling, her 2.8-meter height meant her head reached Roy's chest.

"Roy, is there any other question?"

"It's still too high!"

Archina continued to lower her head, until it reached Roy's waist, and she immediately understood what Roy meant.

Yes, that's the good thing about mature women. They've experienced so much, they don't need to be taught like young girls. They can understand their partner's meaning with just a little hint.

"Wow!"

Archina gasped in surprise, clearly shocked by Roy's strength.

As a result, the female vampire became even more humble.

From a certain perspective, vampires, as undead creatures, should be considered part of the undead category.

However, Roy has already fought a female ghost, so fighting a female vampire shouldn't be a problem for him.

Of course, female vampires give off a different vibe than female ghosts, although both are very cold.

However, since female ghosts are non-material beings, they are not subject to those physical rules.

Vampires are different; at least Archina proved the limitations of friction, which allowed Roy, who had just entered university, to study the three fundamental forces properly.

Moreover, Archina's physical condition was exceptionally strong; Roy could even see that she had twelve-pack abs, a level that many people who live in gyms cannot achieve.

In contrast to the abs, the headlights are very luxurious.

It was bigger than a human head, and it made Roy's eyes blur.

It was clear that Archina hadn't been in combat for a long time, so Roy found it very difficult to drive the vehicle after maintenance was completed.

After all, vampires are undead creatures; their blood has long since stopped flowing, and they have no normal physiological signs.

Fortunately, Archina was not afraid of pain and kept urging Roy not to have any reservations.

Yes, there's no need to worry. Vampires have very high resistance to general physical damage, so Roy is ready to go all out.

The only problem is that the coefficient of friction may be relatively high when mechanical motion occurs without lubrication.

But it didn't matter; Roy's body was already made of steel and didn't care about this little bit of resistance.

However, Archina still suffered some cuts and bruises after Roy went all out, but she didn't care at all.

"Roy, I feel like I'm experiencing what it was like to be alive again! It's so wonderful!"

Roy slapped the taillight hard, as if he were slapping a thick layer of cotton.

"Shut up, you bitch!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am the bitch! From now on, I am Mr. Black's one and only bitch!"

Achina stuck out her tongue, her eyes sparkling with hearts, looking like an overloaded engine about to cause a car accident.

As a large vehicle, maintaining high speeds for extended periods puts a tremendous strain on the engine.
In particular, the driver, Roy, drove exceptionally roughly.

[Ding! You have obtained Achina Timmitrescu's Conquest Chest! Open it?]

Sure enough, the truck broke down in less than half an hour.

"Achina, are you sure you can handle this? You were the one who kept urging us to play, and now you've lost your fighting ability so quickly."

Roy stood stiffly in front of Archina, looking down at her.

Unexpectedly, Archina trembled again when Roy looked at her like that.

"Roy, you're amazing! I haven't experienced anything like this for hundreds of years. Can you let me catch my breath before continuing?"

Roy crouched down and pinched Archina's chin, without slapping her face.

"That won't do! How can Bitch keep her guests waiting?"

Archina gritted her teeth and looked up at Roy.

"Then come on! I'll definitely satisfy you!"

"This is what you said!"

Roy grinned wickedly.

Archina miscalculated. She knew Roy was physically strong, having heard Saltana mention it, but she didn't realize he was this powerful.

Unfortunately, Saltana is also a weakling. She's lucky if Roy can unleash even 10% of his full strength, while Archina treats that 10% as Roy's entire power.

The result was, of course, extremely disastrous.

However, Archina is quite persistent. In terms of endurance, she ranks below the two great demon kings and is stronger than Jennifer and Lilith. No wonder she is a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years.

Finally, as dawn broke, Roy ended the fight with a champagne-like celebration.

At this moment, Archina was covered in wounds, but due to the special constitution of vampires, these wounds would heal quickly and would not leave scars.

Moreover, the female vampire had an expression of utter satisfaction on her face.

Of course, Roy was actually quite happy, since women like Archina who don't need to worry about anything are a minority.

"Mrs. Timitrescu, can you tell me about the Elders' Council now?"

Archina struggled to rub her head against Buzhou Mountain.

"Roy, call me Archina, and I'll tell you everything!"

Achina Timmitrescu (I tried several pictures but failed, so this is the only one I can use)
