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

Douglas also hugged Cao Kun, unable to stop smiling.

The group entered the luxurious reception room, where a servant brought coffee.

Douglas took out a box of cigars and handed it to Cao Kun: "Master Cao, have one. These are different from ordinary Cuban cigars on the market; each one is a masterpiece."

Douglas rarely smokes cigars, but he was in a good mood today and took them out.

Ford took one look and immediately became interested.

But Cao Kun waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke."

Even if he were a junior Taoist master now, his body would still reject things like smoke.

Seeing that Cao Kun did not draw, Douglas had no choice but to withdraw as well.

He then asked Ford.

Ford, barely suppressing his reluctance, said, "Maybe next time."

He knew how expensive that cigar was.

$3000 is considered low.

Normally, he couldn't afford to smoke.

Douglas glanced at Ford, pushed the box back, and stopped smoking.

After having his butler Charlie take the cigars away, Douglas couldn't help but ask, "Master Cao, the Saints Brotherhood..."

Cao Kun said calmly, "The Brotherhood of Saints no longer exists."

Even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but smile when Cao Kun said Douglas, Ford, and Catherine.

Sheriff Ford asked, "All gone? Not a single one left?"

Cao Kun: "It's impossible to completely eliminate them, but those left outside should all be ordinary soul swappers."

Even if there are one or two cult members, they can't cause too much trouble.

Upon hearing this, Douglas and the others felt even more relieved.

Catherine suddenly asked, "Master Cao, are you alright?"

Upon hearing this question, Douglas and Sheriff Ford felt ashamed.

They were only asking about the Saint Brothers, and didn't seem to care at all whether Cao Kun himself was alright.

At this moment, upon hearing Catherine's question, he also looked at Cao Kun with concern.

Cao Kun smiled and said, "I'm fine! However, I did encounter some danger. The Brotherhood of Saints is more powerful than I imagined."

Catherine quickly asked, "What kind of danger?"

Cao Kun didn't reveal too much, only mentioning a few points.

For example, the Mandela attendants they saw last time numbered more than 20, each stronger than the last one.

The leader of the Brotherhood of Saints sacrificed countless people, transforming himself into a flesh-and-blood giant over 6 meters tall.

Cao Kun was just speaking casually, but Douglas and the others were already speechless with astonishment.

After a long silence, Douglas sighed, "Fortunately, we have Master Cao here."

Ford wholeheartedly agreed: "With such power, ordinary armed forces simply cannot penetrate it."

Judging from this incident, deploying a stronger armed force to deal with them would undoubtedly be met with obstruction from certain individuals.

There will never be such an opportunity.

The three discussed the matter and finally came to a conclusion.

If it weren't for Cao Kun, they would have been finished this time.

On the surface, Douglas has a certain network of connections and won't fall easily.

But the Brotherhood of Saints could use Catherine as leverage to seize Douglas's fortune.

Needless to say, Sheriff Ford.

A sheriff's power is inherently limited.

This time is an example.

He was the first to be suspended from his post, rendering him unable to perform any of his duties.

The three of them thanked Cao Kun profusely once more.

Suddenly, Catherine said, "Master Cao, I heard that your house was also destroyed by them?"

Cao Kun nodded: "That's right, we're planning to buy a new one."

Catherine immediately looked at her father: "Dad, quickly give the gift you prepared to Master Cao."

Douglas laughed and said, "You always have such a knack for keeping secrets."

As Douglas spoke, he took out an exquisite wooden box from a drawer next to him, opened it, and handed it to Cao Kun.

Cao Kun looked inside and saw a file folder and a few keys.

Cao Kun: "What do you mean?"

"This is a house I bought for you in Beverly Hills, not too far from here."

Douglas said, "Master Cao, you have sacrificed so much for us, even saving my family."

I've been thinking about how to thank you, and then I heard your house was destroyed. Consider this house a small token of our gratitude from Catherine and me.

Sheriff Ford looked at the box with envy; he knew the value of the house.

But it was just envy.

He felt that Cao Kun deserved it.

They even felt that this gratitude wasn't enough.

Cao Kun didn't stand on ceremony and took the box.

This time, he did indeed save the Douglas family.

Compared to their family's wealth, what is this house?

However, Cao Kun prefers cash to a house.

Cash can be used to make more money.

Although houses can appreciate in value, it's much slower.

Unless you sell it.

But this was a gift, and they sold it right away. How disheartening is that?

It seemed that they had sensed Cao Kun's thoughts.

Douglas then handed him a checkbook.

"Master Cao, I know that money may be a bit too vulgar for you, but this is the greatest sincerity I can offer."

Cao Kun took the check folder, opened it, and took a look.

There was a check tucked inside.

I counted the numbers above.

A full seven zeros.

Before the seven zeros, there is a 2.

2000 million US dollars.

Cao Kun almost burst out laughing.

What's so vulgar about it?

You're a businessman who grew up in a capitalist country, when did you learn this kind of pedantic manner?

This isn't tacky at all; it's fantastic!

Cao Kun closed the check and, with a flick of his wrist, stored it, along with the box, into his system space.

Cao Kun said in a serious tone, "It may be a bit vulgar, but I can't refuse your kind offer."

After saying that, Cao Kun couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Kun chuckled and said, "Douglas, I'm just an ordinary person. I like these ordinary things, the more ordinary the better."

Douglas smiled broadly: "It seems we can get along well. Before, I was always worried about Catherine, so our meetings were always rushed. We can keep in touch more often from now on."

Sheriff Ford said, "Master Cao, I can't offer a gift like Mr. Douglas. All I can say is that my phone is on for you 24/7."

Cao Kun smiled and nodded, giving Sheriff Ford a reassuring look.

After a hearty lunch at the Douglas house, Sheriff Ford had to go back to work and said his goodbyes.

Catherine insisted on visiting Cao Kun's new house.

"Wait me a moment."

Cao Kun strode towards Tanisa's room.

Before long, he pushed open the familiar door and saw Tanisa still bound by the straitjacket.

Tanisa's face was full of wrinkles, she looked old and frail, and she was wearing a straitjacket and a bite guard, making her look quite destitute, even pitiful.

Before Cao Kun entered, her eyes were like stagnant water, seemingly devoid of any interest in life.

When she saw Cao Kun come in, her eyes regained their sparkle.

He stared intently at Cao Kun with a questioning look in his eyes.

Cao Kun said calmly, "The Brotherhood of Saints is gone. I destroyed them with my own hands."
