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

Cao Kun nodded. Chris was really good at this.

Cao Kun suddenly realized that Chris was really amazing.

One person can be just as effective as a team.

more importantly……

Cao Kun looked at her stunningly beautiful face and exaggeratedly sexy figure.

It can also be of great help in daily life.

Taking Chris in was absolutely the right choice back then.

………………

On November 18, "Walking with Song" was officially released in the United States.

In a Los Angeles movie theater, Cao Kun and Rachel, both wearing sunglasses, sat side by side in the last row.

As the movie ended, Rachel's character, June, sang a heartfelt duet with the male lead on stage.

When that restrained sadness finally showed in his eyes, a suppressed sniffling sound filled the entire theater.

The lights came on, and the entire audience stood up and applauded.

As they left the theater, Rachel gripped Cao Kun's arm tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

"Damn, I have a feeling... this time it's really different."

Cao Kun glanced at Rachel: "The data will tell you the answer soon enough."

At midnight that night, the box office figures for the first day were released.

"Walking with the Song" grossed $820 million on its opening day in North America.

Immediately afterwards, the box office figures for the first three days of the week were also quickly released: $2530 million.

For a biographical film with a production cost of only $2800 million.

This opening performance is simply phenomenal.

On Monday morning, all the major Hollywood media outlets had replaced their front pages with photos of Rachel.

The Los Angeles Times commented: "Rachel McAdams delivers a chilling vitality in this film."

She is no longer the girl next door who only smiles sweetly; she is June Carter, the soul of an era.

Variety magazine went so far as to run the headline: "Is the Oscar race for Best Actress already over?"

In just one week, Rachel's net worth tripled.

What were once commercial activities and endorsement offers have now been transformed into global ambassador titles for top brands.

………………

Beverly Hills villa.

Rachel pushed open the door and entered. She had just returned from a charity gala and was still wearing an expensive custom-made dress.

As soon as she entered the room, she kicked off her high heels and threw herself into Cao Kun's arms.

"Damn, are you a god?"

Rachel tilted her head back, her eyes filled with fascination and awe.

"Monica said that three big directors want to meet with me now."

All of these scripts are aimed at next year's awards season.

Even big names have wanted me to be their producer.

Cao Kun put his arm around her waist, his fingers tracing her smooth back: "This is just the beginning."

When you receive that trophy next February, the world will seem smaller to you.

Rachel let out a soft moan and whispered in Cao Kun's ear, "No matter how small the world gets, I just want to stay in your arms."

A fierce "transfer ceremony" then began.

At this point, Rachel's physical strength and flexibility, enhanced by the elixir, far surpassed those of ordinary people.

But in front of Cao Kun, it was still like a small boat adrift in a raging sea.

Three days later, in Beverly Hills.

Cao Kun sat in the garden, toying with a canopy ruler in his hand.

The texture of lightning-struck wood is warm and smooth, yet carries a hint of grimness.

As his magical power permeated the area, the lightning patterns on the ruler's body faintly shimmered with a purple light.

"Ring ring..."

The phone vibrated again. Cao Kun picked it up and saw it was Li Fu.

When the call connected, Li Fu's voice was very low, filled with undisguised terror.

"Damn it, can you come over now? Something's happened to the Green family next door."

Cao Kun frowned slightly: "What is it?"

Li Fu: "Mrs. Green was screaming in the backyard just now. When I went over to see, she was holding two children and shaking."

She said... she heard a woman crying inside the house.

That kind of extremely tragic, suicidal cry, even inhuman.

Li Fu paused, then her tone became more urgent: "The police just left."

They checked the security footage and all the rooms, and said that there was no one else in the house besides the Green family.

But I have a bad feeling. I'm a little scared...

"It doesn't sound like a human cry." Cao Kun said thoughtfully.

A few seconds later, he stood up: "Stay inside and don't move around. As long as the formation isn't broken, you're safe. I'll be there in half an hour."

Cao Kun didn't think Li Fu was making a fuss.

She bears the mark of the Gongyang Cult and is a target of the Gongyang Cult.

It's normal to be sensitive to these things around us.

What if there really is a problem?

Half an hour later, the Cadillac Escalade stopped in front of Reeves' villa.

Li Fu stood on the second-floor terrace and saw Cao Kun's car. She immediately ran down, opened the courtyard gate, and welcomed Cao Kun inside.

"The Green family lives over there."

Li Fu pointed to the mansion on the right, her face pale.

"Just now, I saw large water stains all over the Green family's windows. But it's a sunny day outside."

Cao Kun activated his Qi Observation Technique and glanced at it.

Above the neighboring mansion, a thick, watery gray fog was shrouded in.

This aura is unique, chilling yet carrying a sense of drowning despair.

Cao Kun frowned.

There's definitely something wrong with this family.

To be precise, it was this family that had the problem.

After thinking it over, Cao Kun decided to go and check it out, to put the danger in the queue in advance so as not to affect Li Fu.

"Let's go take a look."

Cao Kun led Li Fu toward the Green family's house.

Before he even entered the room, he could smell a faint, fishy stench, similar to that of a rotten pool.

Mr. Green was standing at the door, anxiously making a phone call.

Upon seeing Cao Kun and Li Fu, he paused for a moment, then casually hung up the phone.

"Lifu, who is this?"

"This is Cao, my boyfriend. He's also an exorcist," Li Fu introduced. "He might be able to help you."

Mr. Green looked at Cao Kun suspiciously, clearly not believing that this young Asian man could do anything.

But thinking of the two children inside, who were so frightened they hid under the covers and dared not come out, he still stepped aside.

"Come in, just don't mention 'psychologist' to me again."

Upon entering the house, Cao Kun noticed several wet footprints on the expensive Persian carpet in the living room.

The footprints were very small, like those of a five or six-year-old child.

The water stains were still wet, giving off a chilly aura.

"Who did this?" Cao Kun asked, pointing to the water stains on the ground.

Mr. Green looked bewildered: "I don't know. The maid just mopped the floor, but when I turned around, there was a puddle of water here."

Cao Kun didn't say anything, but walked up to the Green family's youngest son and daughter.

The two children huddled tightly in the corner of the sofa, shivering.

Cao Kun pulled open the little boy's sleeve, his eyes instantly turning cold.

On the child's thin arm, there were several bluish-purple finger marks.

It looks like it was scratched hard, leaving marks.

Moreover, there was a faint seepage of moisture from the fingerprint.

"Damn, this is..." Li Fu, who had seen it clearly from the side, said with a trembling voice.

Cao Kun said in a deep voice, "Mark them. Something has taken a liking to these two children."

Cao Kun already knew what had happened to the Green family.
