While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Douglas: "Just now, government officials are conducting a full investigation into the companies under my name."

My business has already started to be affected.

Every minute, we are losing a large amount of dollars.

Cao Kun knew that this kind of thing sounded ridiculous.

But in another world, even Lao Dong was treated like this.

Fopollner broke into his estate, forcibly searched it, framed him, and almost sent him to jail.

Although Douglas is a billionaire, he is still far behind Old Dong.

Although the investigation into his current strength may not be as extensive as that of Fobol, it is certainly not insignificant.

You could tell from Douglas's tone that he was in a very bad situation.

Douglas added, "Ford just texted me; he's also being investigated by the prosecutor's office."

Master Cao, they might make their move against you soon too.

Cao Kun fell silent.

Douglas is a businessman with too many interests, so investigating him wouldn't be difficult.

Ford's case is even simpler.

And he was an exorcist.

It's unlikely that the authorities will take action against him.

The only way to deal with it is through force.

Cao Kun asked, "How much longer can you hold on?"

Douglas: "Before calling you, I had already contacted those congressmen, and they've started to make a difference and can hold out for a few more days."

Cao Kun: "What about Ford?"

Douglas: "Ford's situation may be a bit bad. His foundation is too shallow. He rose through the ranks entirely on merit and has no powerful backers. Otherwise, his deputy director position wouldn't have been suppressed for so long."

But as far as I know, Ford is relatively clean; a normal investigation would only result in some trouble. He can hold out for a few more days.

My biggest worry is Catherine.

"Then you should hold on and give me a few more days."

After saying that, Cao Kun hung up the phone.

Immediately, disregarding the fact that it was nighttime back home, he called Wu Chen: "The deposit has been transferred. I urgently need this batch of medicine. Send it to me as quickly as possible, even if it's by chartering a plane, it's no problem."

Wu Chen: "I understand. I will use my connections to send it over as quickly as possible."

After hanging up with Wu Chen, Cao Kun wanted to call Fleischer and tell her to close the shop.

But after thinking about it, I realized it wasn't necessary.

Closing the store would seem deliberate.

If it weren't closed now, Fleischer would just be an ordinary shop assistant.

The Brotherhood of Saints wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for an ordinary shop assistant.

The main issue is that this doesn't generate any value.

The following day, Douglas said that the portion of the investigation into him had increased.

His influence was greater, and the money he lost was increasing.

On the third day, the situation continued to worsen.

But with the backing of money, the batch of medicinal herbs that Cao Kun wanted flew over by chartered plane.

In the afternoon, it fell into Cao Kun's hands.

As a result, Cao Kun spent nearly $30 more.

Fortunately, the money was originally given by Douglas.

Now that it's being used to save his daughter, Cao Kun doesn't seem to mind.

Cao Kun put away the medicinal herbs, temporarily left his home, and went to the apartment where Flescia had previously lived.

This apartment is currently vacant because someone died there before, making it difficult to rent out.

The fat boss was so frightened by the mangled face that he fell seriously ill and is still in the hospital.

Cao Kun could borrow it for alchemy.

…………

night.

boom!

A figure nearly 3 meters tall crashed through Cao Kun's courtyard and barged in.

Behind him was a team of fully armed personnel.

I counted them, and there were about ten people.

Each person is armed with firepower.

The least common weapon is the M4 carbine.

One of them was burly and was carrying a heavy machine gun.

There was someone else nearby, carrying a rocket launcher.

The giant creature, nearly 3 meters tall, barged into the house with an arrogant and domineering attitude, but saw no one there.

"That damn yellow-skinned guy, what a coward, he's not even here."

The man behind the large group, his face contorted with rage, shouted, "Smash this place!"

If Cao Kun were here, he would recognize this person as Mr. Gordon, the bespectacled man he had met once before.

At his command, everyone began to smash and destroy things with all their might.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

The room was filled with dull thuds of objects falling to the ground and various cracking sounds.

Just as they were smashing even harder, a ruler suddenly flew up and unleashed three bolts of lightning, striking the big guy.

The big guy shuddered and fell heavily to the ground, smoke billowing from his body.

Gordon paused for a moment, then cursed "Damn it!" and charged forward.

After checking and finding that the big guy was only injured and not dead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a box out of his pocket, opened it, and inside were fingers and a severed ear.

These things were all entangled with wisps of black mist.

That was the power of a curse that had materialized.

Gordon took out a leather glove, put it on, picked up the fingers and ears, and stuffed them into the big guy's mouth.

The big guys instinctively chewed and swallowed.

After a while, the smoke stopped coming out of its body, and it stood up again.

"roar……"

The big guy seemed a bit angry, letting out some beast-like roars, and was about to start smashing things again.

"Stop, let's go."

Gordon led the group away and shouted to the squad outside, "There's no one inside. Blow this place up."

"No problem."

The guy carrying the rocket launcher casually responded and slung it over his shoulder.

Release the safety, aim, and fire.

"Whoosh..."

"boom……"

Amidst the deafening explosion, Cao Kun's home was engulfed in flames.

"Well done, buddy."

Gordon finally smiled and couldn't help but pat the other person on the shoulder in praise.

………………

"Um?"

"The remaining Heavenly Ruler has been activated."

"It seems that some evil creature really did break in."

"However, the backup plan I left behind can deal with evil creatures, but it can't deal with modern firepower weapons."

"If they are capable of dealing with Douglas and Ford, they are certainly capable of training combat squads."

"There's no need to cultivate them; they can be directly utilized."

"I might not be able to save my house."

Cao Kun's expression was solemn. After muttering a few words, he continued to perform the incantation and put the pills into the pot in front of him.

Time passed little by little.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

boom!

The apartment door opened, and Cao Kun came out, just in time to run into the chubby landlord who had just been discharged from the hospital and was there to check on his property.

Upon seeing Cao Kun emerge from the apartment, the chubby landlord paused for a moment before exclaiming, "A ghost!"

Then, he took a quick step and fled.

Cao Kun ignored him, went downstairs to a secluded spot, retrieved the Cadillac Escalade from his system space, and drove home.

Cao Kun stopped the car from a distance.

He had already seen his house.

What was once an exquisite house is now reduced to a mere skeleton after being burned down.

It is still emitting black smoke.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Cao Kun's face still darkened.

Although the house wasn't expensive, Cao Kun bought it for only a few hundred thousand US dollars.

But Cao Kun's heart was still filled with anger.

Cao Kun waved his hand.

One after another, dark shadows flew out from the ruins of the house, flew towards Cao Kun, and landed in his hands.

These were all his previous arrangements, intended to deal with evil spirits.

However, only one canopy ruler was activated.

The rest were not used.

After putting away these things, Cao Kun stepped into the ruins of the room.

He found the entrance to the basement and went inside.

Upon seeing the stone box containing the moth, it remained obediently in its place.

Seemingly sensing the presence of life, the moth monster even opened the lid.

However, upon discovering it was Cao Kun, it immediately put the lid back on.

"Stay here obediently."

Cao Kun took out a talisman and stuck it on the box.

Then, he went upstairs and locked the basement door.

Now this place is a ruin.

Normally, no one would come here.

Cao Kun took out his phone.

As soon as the signal was received, the sound kept ringing out.

Cao Kun checked the information; it was all Douglas reporting on the situation.

One of them was sent by Flecia.

"Master Cao, are you in trouble?"
