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

I visited New York once before, and I even went shopping with Scarlett. There wasn't much to see there.

But even during that period, it remained one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world.

In particular, Manhattan, where he now lives.

Whether in terms of economy, architecture, or cultural influence, other cities and countries still had time to catch up in 2004.

Of course, in another ten years or so, the situation will be completely different.

Manhattan is actually an island, and access to and from it relies entirely on bridges and boats.

However, this place is home to the infamous Wall Street, which leeches off the entire world, and Broadway.

After checking into the Hilton, Cao Kun had dinner at the restaurant and then took a taxi to Broadway.

He was preparing to see a theatrical performance.

Upon arriving at Broadway, Cao Kun checked out the show program.

Most of them are classic plays that have been performed many times.

For example, The Sound of Music, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, The Lion King, etc.

However, Cao Kun actually saw "Mean Girls".

This coming-of-age film has been adapted into a play and is currently playing on Broadway.

It is said to be very popular.

Thinking of Amanda, Cao Kun bought a ticket for "Mean Girls" and waited for his turn to enter.

After watching "Mean Girls", it was already past 9 p.m.

Cao Kun left the theater and hailed a taxi at the entrance.

"Sir, would you like to buy some flowers?"

A young girl's voice reached Cao Kun's ears.

He turned his head and saw a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a basket of roses and trying to sell them to people coming out of the theater.

She was dressed simply, wearing a very eye-catching red hat, and had a rather delicate appearance.

Like an oversized Little Red Riding Hood.

"No need, go away."

The man who was asked waved his hand impatiently.

The little girl wasn't discouraged and turned to the next person: "Sir, would you like to buy some flowers?"

"No need, thank you." That was much more polite.

Perhaps seeing that the man was being polite, the little girl added, "Sir, your wife is very beautiful. Buy her a flower; she will be very happy."

"I said, no need." The polite man's tone turned sharp.

"I'm sorry to bother you," the little girl quickly apologized and turned to the next person.

Hard work always pays off.

Not everyone is so cold-hearted.

Some people, accompanied by female companions, felt embarrassed and, after being persuaded by the little girl, took out their money to buy it.

After some sales pitch, seven or eight men bought flowers, and more than one at that.

Cao Kun saw it clearly: $3 per flower.

In just a short while, the little girl earned nearly a hundred dollars.

She has a keen eye; she always targets men with partners when she makes her sales pitches.

A man and a woman alone should never waste time.

Cao Kun smiled. "A very clever little girl."

Suddenly, the little girl turned around and walked towards Cao Kun.

"Sir, would you like to buy a flower?"

Cao Kun was taken aback, then chuckled, "Didn't you say you only sell to couples? Didn't you see I'm alone?"

The little girl smiled brightly: "But you've been looking at me for so long, you must want to buy flowers, right?"

Cao Kun laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such good observation skills; you actually noticed that I was watching you."

The little girl's smile widened: "Sir, do you need to buy flowers?"

"Okay, I'll buy three."

Cao Kun took out $10 and handed it to her: "Keep the change."

"Thank you, sir." The little girl happily accepted the money, picked out three bright red roses from the basket, and presented them to Cao Kun.

Cao Kun reached out and took it, and the little girl turned around and went to sell it to other people.

After a while, Cao Kun managed to hail a taxi.

Just as he was about to get on the bus, the little girl waved to Cao Kun and said, "Goodbye, sir."

"goodbye!"

Cao Kun waved to her as well.

Back at the hotel, Cao Kun asked the waiter to find a vase, and he put the flowers in it.

The next day, I found the flowers were still in full bloom.

A faint, pleasant fragrance filled the room.

That evening, Cao Kun went to Broadway again. He had watched "Mean Girls" the night before and found it quite good.

He's going to watch the classic "The Phantom of the Opera" today.

After leaving the theater, Cao Kun encountered the little flower seller again.

The little girl recognized Cao Kun immediately upon seeing him.

There's no way around it; it's hard for an Asian person to go unrecognized when mixed in with a bunch of big-nosed people.

"Sir, would you like to buy some flowers?"

Upon spotting Cao Kun, she skipped and hopped over.

"Okay." Cao Kun readily agreed and bought three more flowers.

But this time, the little girl gave him an extra flower: "This one is for you. Thank you for buying my flowers for two consecutive days."

Cao Kun accepted it: "Thank you."

Goodbye, sir.

The little girl's eyes crinkled into two crescent moons as she skipped and hopped off to find others to sell her flowers.

"goodbye!"

Cao Kun got into a taxi and left.

The following evening, Cao Kun reappeared on Broadway.

Today, he watched "The Sound of Music".

However, when I came out, I didn't see the little girl selling flowers.

Cao Kun felt a little regretful.

I saw her two days in a row, and I thought I could buy three more flowers today.

The next day, Cao Kun contacted Scarlett's brother, Hunter.

Hunter was delighted to hear that Cao Kun had arrived and immediately said he wanted to invite Cao Kun to dinner.

He was even more shocked when he heard that Cao Kun was going to try to wake up his girlfriend Amy.

"Master Cao, you found a way to wake Amy up so quickly?"

Cao Kun: "Okay, come here and take me to Amy's house."

Hunter: "No need, I'll call Amy's parents and have them send someone to pick us up."

Cao Kun: "Alright."

Cao Kun was surprised that Amy's parents had driven there in person.

"Master Cao, Hunter said you've found a way to wake Amy up, is that true?"

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Amy's mother couldn't wait to ask.

Cao Kun: "I can only say that I am very confident, and I am prepared to give it a try."

Cao Kun didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

There are always unexpected events; no one can predict them.

Amy's parents were already overjoyed, their faces beaming with expectant smiles.

"Master Cao, please come in quickly."

Amy's mother invited Cao Kun into the car.

Cao Kun got into the car and noticed that Hunter wasn't there. He asked, "Where's Hunter?"

Amy's mother said, "Go pick him up now."

Cao Kun observed a moment of silence for Hunter.

Faced with the hope of their daughter waking up, the status of her daughter's boyfriend immediately became secondary.

Fortunately, Hunter was already at NYU's Manhattan campus, not far from where Cao Kun was located.

In less than 20 minutes, they picked up Hunter and headed towards Amy's house.

"Master Cao, can you really wake Amy up?"

Hunter also appeared very excited.

It's clear that he truly loves Amy.

Even now, they haven't given up.

However, even true love has its levels.

His level is probably not very high.

"Let's give it a try." Cao Kun still didn't rule out the possibility entirely.

On a nursing bed in Amy's home, Cao Kun saw Amy with a heart rate monitor and a feeding tube inserted.

When Amy was possessed, she could at least eat normally.

Although the food they eat isn't very healthy.

But now, we can only rely on a feeding tube.

This made her look quite pitiful.

"Master Cao, how should we cooperate?"

Amy's father asked calmly, his anticipation growing.

Cao Kun: "You just need to prepare a check for 100 million US dollars."

"If I can bring Amy back to life, this is the price."

"No problem," Amy's father readily agreed.

Although this is a considerable price for them, they can still afford it without it causing them significant financial strain.

"Let's begin." Cao Kun walked towards Amy.
