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

Wendy, holding her phone, was still bent over, but she froze.

She couldn't believe her ears.

It wasn't until the other person spoke again that she realized what was happening: "Okay, we'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Wendy turned to look at Amanda.

Seeing her shocked expression and recalling Cao Kun's words, Amanda understood what was going on, and her heart started racing: "Did I get the female lead role in 'V for V'S CS'?"

Wendy's eyes widened immediately: "How did you know?"

Amanda: "You really got it?"

Wendy: "The producer just called me and asked me to come over now to discuss the contract and terms."

"Oh my god, I really got it!" Amanda covered her mouth, her face filled with ecstasy.

The luck charm really works.

She actually landed the lead role in V for CS:GO.

She beat out the lead actress from Star Wars, a Golden Globe nominee, and a child star to win the role.

Amanda felt a mix of excitement and unreality.

Wendy: "Do you know how you got this lead role?"

Amanda: "Lucky?"

Wendy was stunned again: "You...how did you know?"

Amanda asked with considerable curiosity, "Why did you say lucky?"

Wendy: "Putting Portman aside, Johnny Xun got the lead role in The Island, but it conflicted with her schedule for V for Vendetta, so she gave it up."

As for Howard, the producers felt she wasn't quite right for the role.

All that's left is you.

Amanda looked surprised; it really was luck.

He really got the lead role by sheer luck.

So, this car accident...

………………

That evening, Amanda was unusually proactive, giving Cao Kun a taste of what it meant to be completely automatic.

After the battle, Amanda, panting heavily, asked Cao Kun, "Was that car accident during the day just paying off a debt?"

Cao Kun: "That should be the case."

Amanda was a little puzzled: "So fast? I thought the lucky period would last longer?"

Cao Kun: "In that case, you will need to repay even more debt."

The less luck you borrow in advance, the less price you have to pay.

From your description, it seems your luck only affected Natalie Portman.

This was just a minor car accident.

Amanda: "What if someone has already chosen the role, and the audition is just a formality? Would it still be useful?"

Cao Kun: "That's very difficult; it depends on the skill of the person who drew the talisman. To achieve the desired result, you'll also need to pay a higher price. So, next time, you must find out clearly whether the role is pre-selected, so you can avoid it in advance."

"Thank you, Cao, you've done me a huge favor." Amanda reached down and grabbed: "Let's have another luck-changing ritual."

When Cao Kun woke up the next day, he felt a slight soreness in his lower back.

This can't go on; Amanda is going too far.

This magic doesn't seem to be helping the kidneys at all.

Taoism does have some techniques for strengthening the body, such as the "Eight Vajra Exercises," but they are too slow to take effect.

I desperately need a body-refining technique right now.

Cao Kun was anxious.

Amanda alone is already struggling; imagine what would happen if a few more came…

Hmm? Why did I say "again"...?

After breakfast, Cao Kun went to Wenxintang to check on the progress.

Although people from the US are not very efficient, this renovation company only has an American boss; all the workers are Mexican.

These Mexicans are much more hardworking than the locals.

The renovation of Wenxintang is not progressing too slowly.

"Mr. Cao."

When the construction team leader saw Cao Kun, he came over to greet him and then said, "I estimate that it will all be finished in about ten days."

Cao Kun checked it and found that everything was constructed according to the blueprints.

He nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."

The team leader rubbed his hands together: "Mr. Cao, I've heard you're a very skilled exorcist?"

Cao Kun: "I wouldn't say I'm extremely powerful, but I am indeed an exorcist. What, you want me to exorcise your demons?"

The tour leader asked, "How much do you charge?"

Cao Kun: "Starting at $10."

The team leader's expression immediately changed: "Never mind then, I don't have that much money."

Cao Kun naturally wouldn't force him, nor did he inquire what had happened to him: "You have my phone number. You can call me if you need anything."

After leaving Wenxintang, Cao Kun drove to Beverly Hills.

The Douglas family lived there.

Beverly Hills can truly be called a city within a city, and it is one of the most famous wealthy residential areas in Los Angeles, and even in the United States.

Almost everyone who lives here is either rich or noble.

Many Hollywood A-list stars have also made their homes here.

Cao Kun knew Douglas was rich, but after seeing Douglas's mansion, he realized what true wealth really meant.

The house he bought from Casey's family was actually quite nice.

But compared to the Douglas family, they suddenly seemed rather insignificant.

When the car arrived at the two iron gates, Cao Kun identified himself to the camera, and the two iron gates opened by themselves.

A tree-lined path appeared ahead.

After driving another hundred meters or so, the view suddenly opened up before us.

Cao Kun saw a large mansion located in a garden.

That's right, the mansion is in a typical American style, which Cao Kun doesn't really like.

But from a distance, Cao Kun knew it was definitely not cheap.

Charlie was already waiting in the parking lot.

After Cao Kun parked the car, he opened the car door for Cao Kun.

"This way, Master Cao." Charlie gestured. "Mr. Douglas is already waiting for you."

As Charlie arrived at the main building of the mansion, Cao Kun saw Douglas at the entrance.

However, Cao Kun noticed that the guy had actually lost weight.

"Welcome, Master Cao."

Douglas walked over and actually gave Cao Kun a hug.

Cao Kun pushed him away: "When did you become so enthusiastic? I don't remember you being like this."

Douglas sighed softly, "It was all my fault before. I misjudged you and didn't trust you, which is why I'm suffering this punishment now."

Now, I regret it immensely.

If time could be turned back…

Douglas couldn't continue; it was clear he was genuinely regretful.

Cao Kun: "Time travel is impossible now, but I hope I can find a way to save Catherine. Come on, take me to see her."

"Charlie, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Master Cao with me."

Douglas dismissed the butler and led Cao Kun into the mansion, arriving at the door of a room.

After knocking on the door, Douglas opened it and stepped aside.

Cao Kun immediately saw an old woman sitting in a wheelchair in a very tastefully decorated room, looking up at the window.

The room facing the garden has a full-length window.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on the old woman and illuminating the wrinkles on her face and her silver hair.

Noticing the noise at the door, she turned around.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, her eyes lit up, and she became excited.

Clearly, she knew Cao Kun's identity.

Cao Kun went in and chatted with her for a few minutes before she gradually calmed down.

Then, Cao Kun came out again: "Let's go, take me to see Tanisa."

That's the real reason Cao Kun came this time.

Soon, Cao Kun saw Tanisa again, this time with Catherine's body inside her.

When Cao Kun asked about the cult she believed in, Tanisa's body trembled violently once again.
