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

Catherine and Cao Kun locked eyes.

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't sense the gaze of a young woman in Catherine's eyes.

Rather, it's a feeling of having weathered many storms and experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Could it be...?

A bold idea popped into Cao Kun's mind.

Seemingly noticing the strange look in Cao Kun's eyes, Catherine's gaze also subtly changed.

When Cao Kun looked again, he saw the eyes of a young woman.

dong dong...

At this moment, Douglas tapped his cane on the ground and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "I got Catherine back without spending $10."

Cao Kun shifted his gaze to him: "So, you're here to show off?"

Douglas: "I'm just here to tell you that you're not worth $10."

Cao Kun shook his head and chuckled: "You're so rich, yet you come here to show off and even personally belittle me. You're not only boring, but also incredibly petty."

Douglas's chubby face immediately fell: "My choice to cooperate with the police instead of asking you to find Catherine was the best decision I ever made."

From this day forward, don't even think about getting a single cent from me.

"That's your prerogative," Cao Kun said with a shrug and a smile. "I wish you a harmonious family life, Mr. Douglas."

"Take away your cheap blessings, I don't need them, let's go."

Douglas turned his obese body around, took Catherine's hand, and walked outside.

The butler went out and opened the car door ahead of everyone else.

Douglas had achieved his goal and was unwilling to look at Cao Kun any longer.

But before getting into the car, Catherine turned her head and stared intently at Cao Kun.

Cao Kun responded with a smile, but Catherine's eyes held a deep look.

After the Rolls-Royce drove away, Cao Kun immediately called Laura.

"Lola, was the case you asked me to help with last time about finding Douglas's daughter?"

Laura asked in surprise, "How did you know, Master Cao?"

Cao Kun's face darkened. It was true.

Cao Kun: "How did he finally find his daughter?"

Laura: "Last time you asked for $10, but Mr. Douglas refused."

We then introduced him to two inexpensive mediums who charged only a few thousand dollars, and Mr. Douglas readily agreed.

However, after the two mediums performed the ritual, they did not find his daughter at first.

Just when we thought we had failed, his daughter returned home on her own.

Cao Kun: "You mean, his daughter went home on her own?"

Laura: "Yes, but those two mediums said it was their doing."

Cao Kun automatically ignored the following sentence: "Did Catherine say where she went?"

Laura: "She said she went to visit friends and didn't want to be disturbed, so she turned off her phone for a few days."

Cao Kun asked a few more questions, which Laura answered one by one.

"Thank you, Laura."

After thanking Laura, Cao Kun hung up the phone.

He was almost certain that Catherine was likely involved in something wrong.

It's very likely, just as he guessed, that wasn't Catherine at all, but someone else.

Moreover, it wasn't possession by a ghost, but rather body snatching.

If someone is possessed by a ghost, it's unlikely they'd be swaggering around during the day.

Furthermore, ghosts carry various negative energies that living people's bodies simply cannot withstand, and over time, they will inevitably decay.

Ghosts who want to live as humans either need to frequently change bodies.

Either it's a ghost with powerful cultivation.

However, ghosts with powerful cultivation can create physical forms on their own, are not afraid of sunlight during the day, and do not need the bodies of ordinary humans.

Only by possessing another body can one be unaffected by sunlight.

The chaotic energy field surrounding Catherine also proves this point.

Because he had just possessed a body and his cultivation was only average, he had not yet stabilized his soul, which caused the energy field on his body to become chaotic.

Cao Kun's lips curled into a smile: "Douglas would never have imagined that the person who returned wouldn't be his daughter anymore."

"I just don't know whether Catherine is content to wait for Douglas to die of old age and then inherit his estate, or whether she will take the initiative to seize control of the assets in advance."

Cao Kun shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Anyway, as long as Catherine doesn't bother him, he doesn't intend to get involved in this matter.

………………

at night.

In Amanda's bedroom.

Amanda was completely naked, leaning against Cao Kun's chest, her face still flushed.

Cao Kun's chest rose and fell slightly as he calmed his heartbeat after the intense exercise.

Amanda wrapped her arms around Cao Kun's neck: "Now that I've already paid the bill once in advance, when are you going to change my luck?"

Cao Kun didn't refuse: "Tell me about the projects you can currently access, and I'll make the selection for you."

Amanda was taken aback: "Aren't you going to change my luck and let me make the choice myself? That way, I can choose the best project."

Cao Kun said calmly, "Don't worry about the process, just focus on the result."

Amanda thought about it and agreed: "Wait for me a moment."

Amanda threw off the blanket, got out of bed naked, and walked out of the bedroom.

A short while later, she came in carrying a laptop and opened a document.

"These are the projects I can get right now."

Cao Kun glanced at them; some were somewhat familiar, but most were completely unfamiliar.

This is normal. Hollywood initiates so many projects every year, some of which are never completed, and some are never even finished filming.

Some films are shot in advance, but there's no money for post-production.

Even if it can be completed later, it won't be shown in theaters, and no one is even willing to distribute it offline.

That's why Hollywood stars are so important.

With celebrities, there will be attention.

With attention comes investment, and only then can a project proceed normally.

Of course, this celebrity can be not only an actor, but also a director, screenwriter, or producer.

After watching it once, Cao Kun asked Amanda, "Which one do you want to choose?"

Amanda pointed to one of them without hesitation: "Of course it's Kingdom of Heaven. It's Ridley Scott's new film. If I could get the lead role in his film, I'd be an instant star."

However, given my status, getting a leading role is too difficult; the chances are practically zero. I can only try for a small supporting role.

Cao Kun looked puzzled; Amanda really knew how to choose.

I immediately picked this terrible movie.

Ridley Scott, the director who created "Alien," is indeed a man of great talent.

However, this applies only to science fiction films.

But this old man has a particular fondness for epic films.

The result was that every film they made flopped.

It's like a law: whenever he makes a science fiction film, he always makes a fortune.

But whenever he makes an epic film, it's guaranteed to flop.

Kingdom of Heaven was the beginning of this law.

Seeing Cao Kun's unusual expression, Amanda asked, "What's wrong? Is this one not working?"

Cao Kun: "Take a look at the others."

Amanda asked, somewhat surprised, "You don't think this movie will be good?"

Amanda asked directly, so Cao Kun didn't mince words: "This movie will definitely lose money."

Amanda: "Are you so sure?"

Cao Kun: "Just you wait and see."

Amanda paused for several seconds before shifting her gaze to another film: "What about this one?"

Upon seeing Amanda's second choice, Cao Kun's expression became complicated once again.
