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

Cao Kun's expression darkened slightly: "What are the conditions?"

Douglas: "You must do everything in your power to bring Catherine back."

Upon hearing this condition, Cao Kun's expression relaxed: "I could do it even if you didn't say so. If I can make money off you, I won't be polite."

Douglas: "If you can really save Catherine, my reward will definitely not disappoint you."

"I hope so," Cao Kun said. "You can write checks now."

Douglas said no more, took out his checkbook and began filling in the amounts.

Seeing Douglas's decisive action, Cao Kun realized that his previous opinion of Douglas had been somewhat misunderstanding.

This guy is really stingy, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his daughter.

He simply felt he wasn't worth $10.

Of course, that was before.

Now, his opinion has certainly changed.

Originally, Cao Kun had no intention of contacting him.

However, since we have to deal with the couple who possessed Catherine anyway, instead of killing them for nothing and getting no benefit, we might as well contact them and get a considerable income.

Douglas tore off the completed check and handed it to Cao Kun.

Cao Kun accepted it; yes, it was exactly $200 million.

Seeing Cao Kun put the check away, Douglas asked, "If I had paid you $10 from the beginning, would none of this have happened?"

Cao Kun smiled and said, "Perhaps."

Douglas looked regretful and pained: "This is the worst decision I've ever made in my life."

Cao Kun patted the check on his chest: "At least you still have hope. Oh, and a suggestion..."

Douglas quickly replied, "Go ahead."

Cao Kun: "Don't give it to Tanisa... oh, the woman who stole your daughter's body... she's a cultist with some special abilities."

Do not give her any freedom or opportunity, otherwise, the consequences will be severe.

Douglas nodded solemnly: "I understand."

Cao Kun: "I'll visit your house in a few days and ask her some questions."

Douglas: "Welcome."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Cao Kun said goodbye to Douglas, Sheriff Ford, and Laura, and left the hospital.

His own shop was shut down, and Lawrence's house was covered in blood and broken furniture, like a ruin.

Cao Kun naturally wouldn't stay there overnight, so he went to Amanda's house instead.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Amanda pestered him to perform a luck-changing ritual, but Cao Kun refused.

Cao Kun plopped down on the sofa, feeling pain all over his body and his body starting to feel weak.

This is a side effect of invoking a deity.

This time, he summoned a very powerful deity, but the stronger the deity, the heavier the burden on his body.

If Cao Kun hadn't been holding on so tightly, he would have been completely exhausted long ago.

"What's wrong with you?"

Amanda was startled to see Cao Kun like this.

Cao Kun's voice became softer: "It's nothing, I killed two great evil spirits today."

Upon hearing this, Amanda stopped insisting that Cao Kun perform the fortune-changing ritual and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Cao Kun: "Get me something to eat, then I'll take another nap."

the next day.

When Cao Kun woke up, he felt that his condition had improved a lot.

However, his body has not yet fully recovered.

He went to bed very late last night.

It wasn't that Amanda was clinging to him, but rather that he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep.

Although it hasn't fully recovered yet, some daily tasks are still fine.

When Cao Kun arrived at Wenxintang by car, he found that a large crowd had gathered at the entrance.

Everyone was staring at Lawrence's shop, and whispering amongst themselves.

Although there was quite a commotion last night, none of these experienced American people came out to meddle.

Not a single person came out to watch the spectacle.

It wasn't until daytime today that they came out to check what had happened.

Upon seeing Cao Kun appear, everyone turned their attention to him.

Cao Kun is in the Wenxin Hall, where dead people reside.

I checked into Lawrence's Hotel last night, and someone died there.

And seven of them died.

They calculated that, in just this period of time, 15 people had died in both stores.

And these people are basically all related to Cao Kun.

What puzzled them even more was that 15 people died, but Cao Kun was completely unharmed, lively and energetic, without a single injury.

It's no wonder they looked at Cao Kun strangely.

Even a hint of fear had appeared in his eyes.

When they saw Cao Kun approaching, the crowd dispersed, making way for him.

"It hasn't been long, and 15 people have died. Has Cao attracted some kind of calamity?"

"He has brought disaster upon himself; he should be the one to die, not someone else. How could he let someone else die?"

"That's true, so what happened?"

"I think he is a calamity in himself, so we should stay away from him and not provoke him."

"Poor old Neil, Cao ruined those two shops."

……

Although these people spoke very softly, Cao Kun, an eighth-rank teacher, could still hear them clearly.

He ignored them and went straight back to his car.

He had arranged to meet Old Neil here.

Not long after, old Neil, whose hair had turned even whiter, arrived.

Old Neil looked at Lawrence's shop, his face also full of helplessness.

In the past, when faced with this situation, he would spew out FKs everywhere, and would definitely have to unleash his attacks for quite a while.

But now, he's running out of steam with all his swearing.

The way the others looked at Old Neil was a mixture of pity and schadenfreude.

"Old Neil, you've arrived."

As Cao Kun's voice rang out, he stepped out from the crowd and came to Old Neil's side.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Old Neil immediately said, "Cao, you can't go back on your word about the 100 million you agreed on before."

Cao Kun smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's 100 million, no backing out."

Old Neil was relieved and somewhat glad that he had agreed to sell the two shops to Cao Kun beforehand.

Otherwise, with seven more people dying, his shop would be even less likely to sell.

Even if it can be sold, it's unlikely anyone will offer $100 million.

Cao Kun: "You brought the house documents with you, right? Let's go find a real estate agency and we'll go transfer the property."

Old Neil asked the question many people wanted to ask: "Do you really have a million?"

Cao Kun: "You'll find out soon enough."

As Cao Kun and Old Neil's car drove away, the murmurs among the people suddenly grew louder.

"Cao actually has a million?"

"How did he earn so much money in such a short time?"

"At 100 million, Old Neil didn't lose money selling those two shops."

"What exactly did Cao do to earn so much money?"

"Could it be from his celebrity girlfriend?"

"I also want to find a celebrity girlfriend."

……

After finding a real estate agency, Cao Kun and Lao Nier completed the property transfer procedures.

Old Neil also received a check for $100 million.

After transferring $100 million into his bank account, Old Neil finally believed that the check was genuine.

Cao Kun really did give him $100 million.

His feelings suddenly became complicated.

"Cao, I thought your father's hard work would be ruined in your hands, but now it seems you are more successful than your father."

After nodding to Cao Kun, Old Neil got into his car and drove away.

Cao Kun didn't leave; he waited there for a while.

Today, he also needs to transfer ownership of another house to the Caseys.

I was busy until after 4 p.m. before all the procedures were finally completed.

Cao Kun then handed the previous key to Casey: "That house is safe for now, you can go and move your things out."

Casey took the key with delight: "Thank you, Master Cao."

Their car is still there; they thought they'd never get it back.

After watching the Caseys leave, Cao Kun drove back to Wenxintang, intending to summon the Flesh-faced man and let him inhale some incense.

Just as he was about to go inside, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Excuse me, are you Master Cao?"

Cao Kun turned around and saw a familiar figure.
