American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 419 Exploration
After the incident with the Grand Master of the Underworld, Roy finally enjoyed a period of peace.

Nothing much happened for half a month, and Roy was finally able to attend classes for a few days.

Furthermore, the controversy surrounding the Ouroboros Society had subsided, so Roy was finally able to attend the fraternity party he had been longing for.

That was truly insane, and it broadened Roy's horizons considerably.

Meanwhile, Roy also participated in two NCAA boxing qualifying matches during these two weeks, something he had promised the school long ago.

There's also good news: the cleaning of the ghost ship is finally over, and Heather, Penny, Amy, and Dalia have arrived in Los Angeles, along with Weyland and his daughter.

However, Cui Lin did not come along. This woman was, after all, a thief who loved freedom, so after receiving her share of the profits, she went traveling all over the world.

Finnegan and Joey also received a large share of the profits. After making enough money, the two decided to retire from their criminal activities and find a place to get married, have children, and retire.

“Mr. Black, I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”

After arriving in Los Angeles, Charles suddenly called Roy, wanting to meet him.

Roy readily agreed.

The meeting place was in Hawthorne, Los Angeles, a well-known affluent area where Charles owns property.

"Roy, I miss you so much!"

As soon as she entered Charles's house, Serena threw herself at Roy. The girl's longing for Roy was palpable, as she hadn't seen him for two or three months.

Charles watched with amusement as Roy and Serena embraced.

Roy glanced at Serena and Charles.

Serena has hardly changed, while Charles looks more than ten years older, but he is in good spirits and has probably let go of some things.

Roy had also heard a little about Charles's situation. Because of the San Diego disaster, Charles's business reputation was completely wiped out, and he was forced to sell all the shares of his holding companies, retaining only some investment shares.

The current situation is that it's impossible for Charles to make a comeback; all he can do is remain a wealthy man.

Fortunately, the Wieland family has a charitable foundation, so Charles isn't exactly idle.

"Mr. Weyland, how have you been lately?"

Charles sighed.

"It was like riding a roller coaster, constantly going up and down, but I've come to terms with it now."

Roy glanced at Charles's expression; the other man did indeed seem quite optimistic, not like he was faking it.

"That's good! Mr. Wieland, what brings you here?"

"Roy, I've got some free time now, so I'd like to do something. I wonder if you could help me?"

"whats the matter?"

Charles stood up and looked out the window.

“When I was young, I always wanted to be a great explorer, but by chance, I ended up becoming an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur brought me a lot of money, but it also trapped me in an office. Now, I've finally regained my freedom, so I want to realize my dream of becoming an explorer!”

Upon hearing this, Roy seemed somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Weyland, do you already have a target?"

"Yes! I have a friend who works at an Antarctic research station. He told me that unusual energy fluctuations have been detected in a certain area of ​​the Antarctic continent, suggesting the existence of some kind of underground energy field. I'd like to invite you to join me on an Antarctic expedition. If we make any discoveries, our names might be recorded in history!"

It seems that Charles has given up on the idea of ​​becoming a big businessman and instead wants to make a name for himself as an explorer.

That's understandable. After all, at Charles's level, he's already made money and has nothing else to do, so he needs to realize his personal value.

Seeing that Roy didn't say anything, Serena grabbed his arm and started shaking it.

"Roy, please help your dad. He really wants to be an explorer."

"I didn't say I wouldn't agree. When are we leaving?"

Charles is, after all, his father-in-law, so he should help him out if he can.

Charles was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

"I've already organized the expedition team, and we'll set off tomorrow!"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

"Roy, I'm not the only one who knows about the unusual energy fluctuations in Antarctica. We'd better act quickly and not let others find that underground energy field before us!"

Roy nodded.

"Okay, I'll make some preparations, and we'll head to Antarctica tomorrow."

Roy didn't really have anything special to prepare. He mainly just talked to the women around him to see if anyone wanted to go on an Antarctic expedition together, and to prepare some emergency food.

There was no other way; Roy had such a huge appetite that the expedition team's food supplies were definitely not enough. It would be better to buy more food and put it in his inventory.

Jennifer, Neddy, Ashley, and Meryl all have studies that keep them busy.

After the summer's adventures at sea, Amy and Dalia didn't want to run around anymore.

Especially Dalia, who has a daughter, it's definitely impossible for her to go to a dangerous place like Antarctica.

Heather and Penny, however, seemed somewhat interested and, after discussing it, decided to join the expedition team, which would also make it easier to take care of Roy's "life".

The next day, Roy took Heather and Penny to meet Charles.

Serena cannot go to Antarctica. As the sole heir of the Weyland family, she certainly cannot put all her eggs in one basket, even with Roy around, which would guarantee her safety.

So, after her passionate encounter with Roy, Serena went to New York to continue her studies.

After Roy left, Claire went to a dark room in a church in Los Angeles.

Just as Roy had guessed, Claire did indeed know where Elise was, and Elise was indeed avoiding him.

“Ms. Elise, Roy has already left Los Angeles.”

Iris breathed a long sigh of relief as she walked out of the darkroom.

Has he finally left?

Claire was unaware of what had happened between Roy and Elise, and therefore did not know why Elise was hiding.

"Professor Elise, what exactly happened between you two? Why are you avoiding Roy?"

"I'm not avoiding Roy, I'm just afraid to face certain things."

Elise's expression was very complicated. After half a month of recuperation, her body had long since recovered, but the trauma in her heart was not so easy to heal.

Perhaps, for the rest of her life, Elise will remember what happened that day, until the end of the world.

"Now what?"

"Claire, you can go about your business now. I'll be back soon, so you don't need to worry about me anymore."

Claire hesitated for a moment, but then listened to Elise and left.

Elise looked up at the sky with a bewildered expression and spoke in a voice only she could hear.

"Michael, what choice did you make when you were in this situation?"

No one could answer Elise, so she could only sigh deeply. The angel of wisdom felt that she might never see the future again. Finally, Elise walked out of the church and headed towards UCLA; she was going to talk to someone.

"Uriel, I thought you wouldn't dare show your face in front of me again!"

In Elizabeth's room, the Demon Queen calmly accepted Elresa's massage while looking at Iris with a mischievous gaze.

Elizabeth looked at her without fear. She knew that Elizabeth wanted to humiliate her, but as an angel, she would never be afraid of mental humiliation.

"Belial, I have something I want to ask you!"

"What do you want to ask? Do you want to know where Roy went? Sorry, he might not be able to help you with your physiological needs recently."

Elise frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of anger.

"Belial, you can't provoke me like this! What is your purpose in coming to Earth!"

"What purpose could I have? I am the king of sloth, and I came to earth to be lazy."

Elizabeth spread her hands, her expression quite innocent.

But Elise certainly wouldn't believe Belial.

"Belial, don't try to fool me! Tell me your purpose right now! Otherwise, I'll open the gates of Heaven and send you back to Hell!"

Elizabeth burst into laughter, a laughter so loud it made her tremble and her breasts swell.

"Then why don't you open the gates of heaven! I can then chat with your colleagues about how Roy manipulated you to the point of mental and physical collapse."

Elise finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"shut up!"

Elise breathed heavily, forcibly suppressing her anger. Anger only makes people lose their minds, and she didn't want to be controlled by such emotions.

"Belial, let's have an open and honest talk! I know you're not a demon like Leviathan, and you don't have much interest in the human world. I can turn a blind eye to your existence, but you must confess your purpose! Otherwise, even if you tell me about that day, I will still kill you. I mean what I say!"

Elizabeth realized that Elise was serious this time. If the angel of wisdom really risked her life, it would only benefit the other demon lords of hell.

So the king of sloth began to change his tune.

"Honestly, you angels have absolutely no sense of humor. Can't you tell it's a joke at all?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't even think about lying. Your lies can't fool my divine eyes!"

"What's the rush? I haven't seen you this anxious the other day. Is it because you haven't had any outlet for your emotions lately?"

"Say it again!"

Seeing that Elise was showing signs of redness again, Elizabeth quickly changed her tune.

"Okay, okay! I won't say anything then! Actually..."

No one else knew about the conversation between the Archangel of Wisdom and the King of Sloth; even Elareza's memory was erased afterward.

In short, Elise acknowledged Elizabeth's existence and officially returned to FEA.

This relieved Gerald, who was genuinely worried that something might happen to Elise in his jurisdiction.

The FEA is currently going through a turbulent period. The disappearance of Paxton Fairtay has caused a sense of loss of control within the FEA, with senior management passing the buck and shirking responsibility. They urgently need a leader to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Elise's God's Eye can see the past and the future, and once she begins her investigation, she will soon find out what's going on in Paxton.

After returning to FEA, the Angel of Wisdom quickly got to work, and she used her Eye of God to find Paxton's location.

Paxton has fled to San Francisco; we'll have to go there to find out the details.

San Francisco?

Gerald's expression was one of deep frown.

What's wrong with San Francisco?

Elise looked at Gerald; she knew this black man was good friends with Roy, so her attitude wasn't so cold.

“The FEA in the Bay Area has very close ties with Amacham, so it might be difficult for us to conduct an investigation in the Bay Area.”

"Even if it's troublesome, we have to go, right? We can't let that succubus and Paxton continue to hide."

Because of Paxton, the FEA dares not use clone units, which has made FEAR's work very difficult recently.

Over the course of several months, the FEA has become accustomed to using clone units as cannon fodder before deploying FEAR, which significantly reduces losses.

“Mr. Orlin, contact FEA headquarters. I’ll speak with the director personally. If the director doesn’t agree, I’ll go to the White House! This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!”

This director naturally refers to the head of the FEA headquarters.

Elise has made up her mind to resolve the issues with the succubus and Paxton, and her attitude is quite firm.

Gerald had no choice but to call New York State, where the head of the FEA certainly didn't want Elise to continue the investigation.

Because FEA has been developing for ten years and has had too many private transactions with Amacham, if these things are exposed, it could lead to big trouble.

However, Elise's attitude was very tough; she spoke to the head of the FEA almost in a commanding tone.

"If you don't agree, I'll go to the White House. If the White House still doesn't agree, I'll take the Shadow Hunters and go to the Bay Area myself!"

After hearing this, the head of FEA had no choice but to try to delay the process and make some preparations.

"Ms. Elise, why don't we have headquarters hold a meeting to discuss this issue?"

"Do you need my participation in this meeting? Perhaps I can help expose a few parasites!"

This is an outright threat. After all, everyone has their dirty secrets, and even Gerald has some unspeakable secrets.

If Elise uses her Eye of God to fight corruption, she'll definitely catch them all.

Now the head of FEA dared not cover it up any longer; if he did, it wouldn't be someone else's problem, but his.

"No need, no need! We're just having a short meeting, and we'll have the results tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Elise's expression softened slightly; she could wait a day if it was only a short time.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news tomorrow. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

After hanging up the phone, Elise looked at Gerald.

"I'm going to the Bay Area now."

Gerald was taken aback by these words.

"Ms. Elise, aren't you waiting for the meeting results?"

“There’s no need. I’m worried someone might pass messages to the Bay Area. It would be best to go directly. But don’t worry, I’ll investigate first and take action once the authorization is granted.”

Gerald nodded; that made sense.

"Mr. Orin, I hope you will not reveal my whereabouts."

"No problem, Ms. Elise!"

Guess which movie's plot is coming up with next?
