Chapter 182 An Unexpected Invitation
Li Yuan was somewhat surprised to receive a call from "Lucky Renault".
After he answered the phone, he greeted everyone with a smile:
"Hey Renault, how have you been lately?"
On the other end of the phone, Renault's hearty laughter immediately came through:
"I'm doing great! Business has been pretty good lately!"
As he spoke, his mood turned somewhat down again:
"However, the number of people who can't afford the rent is increasing."
Renault's Sweet Home is located in the suburbs.
Most of the people renting there were those who didn't have much money.
It's perfectly normal to suddenly lose your job and not have money to pay rent.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Yuan chuckled and asked curiously:
"Renault, what do you need me for?"
"Oh! Right, I've been so busy chatting with you that I've forgotten about the important matter!"
Renault quickly slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, saying:
Do you remember Kenny?
The name Renault mentioned sounded vaguely familiar to Li Yuan, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Sorry, I really can't remember. Who was that?"
"I knew it!"
Renault smiled mysteriously and continued:
"Ambergris! The guy who wants to buy your ambergris."
"Oh my god!"
The moment he thought of that guy, Li Yuan couldn't help but swear.
That bastard is such a jerk.
We had agreed to buy his ambergris, but nothing ever came of it.
Fortunately, Li Yuan later received a request from Kaplan, otherwise they would have been starving!
Li Yuan said indignantly:
"I remember that bastard, Renault. I get angry whenever you mention him."
"Hehe, Li Yuan, don't blame him. I only just found out what happened myself."
Renault smiled and explained to Li Yuan:
"After you left, his pawnshop was robbed."
Kenny was shot twice when he returned fire.
Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious, and I've only recently recovered.
Renault's words surprised Li Yuan.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't stand him up; rather, something unexpected happened.
"Oh, I see."
"That's right, the reason I called is to convey Kenny's apology to you."
At the same time, he wants to meet you again to continue buying ambergris.
Li Yuan smiled noncommittally:
"Heh, I forgive Kenny, considering he took two shots."
"Let's forget about the deal, I don't have much time."
Li Yuan didn't take it to heart, after all, he didn't lack those 100,000+ dollars anymore.
"I knew you'd say that, after all, you're a famous exorcist in Los Angeles now."
Renault complimented Li Yuan.
Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said in a low voice:
"He's been encountering some strange things lately and would like to ask you for your help."
"I knew it would be like this."
After hearing Renault's explanation, Li Yuan chuckled softly:
"If you're not in a rush, how about tomorrow? It's getting late today."
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After Li Yuan hung up the phone, Edward, who was standing next to him, said with a smile:
"You're getting busier and busier these days."
"There's nothing we can do. As our reputation grows, more and more people will seek out our exorcism services."
As he spoke, Li Yuan turned to look at Edward and said softly:
"Once Jamie joins, you can take him with you on exorcism cases. That way, I can have an easier time."
Edward glanced at Jamie and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jamie."
Jamie, who had spent a few days with Edward, chuckled and complained:
"Stop fooling around, who knows who'll be taking care of whom in the end!"
Li Yuan watched the two bickering, smiled, and shook his head.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the three arrived at Devon's manor.
Guided by the manor's butler, Li Yuan led the two to the study.
Jamie underwent a servant conversion ceremony.
As Li Yuan expected, Jamie readily agreed to the servant's request to be converted.
He became his fourth attendant.
Loyalty also reached the maximum value of 100.
As for skills, Li Yuan considered it for a moment...
For Jamie, the chosen spells were Holy Light, Crusader Seal, and Hammer of Justice.
This combination of skills will allow him and Edward to cooperate better.
Afterwards, Li Yuan gave him a set of medicine and taught him how to use the backpack.
"From now on, we are one family."
With everything arranged, Li Yuan patted Jamie on the shoulder and earnestly instructed him:
"Be careful when performing an exorcism, and don't forget the danger you've encountered today."
Jamie, who had already stepped into the extraordinary realm, was excited.
He lowered his head and replied earnestly:
"My lord, I will heed your teachings."
Li Yuan nodded and walked towards the door, calling out to the two of them:
"Let's go eat, and I'll introduce you to a friend while we're at it."
When Li Yuan brought Edward and Jamie downstairs, Devin also rushed back from outside.
"Your Excellency, everything you assigned has been taken care of."
Several of the weapons you asked Wright to make have been completed.
"No rush, let's eat first and then go see it later."
Li Yuan was already a little hungry, and had only eaten some dry rations that day.
"Okay, dinner is ready. Let's go to the restaurant."
Devin led the three to the restaurant, and after Li Yuan sat down, he introduced Jamie to Devin.
"Edward, you already know this. This is Jamie, my squire."
"Hello, my name is Devin, and I am His Holiness the Bishop's most devout follower!"
"Hello there."
Jamie and Devin shook hands with a smile, finding the guy a bit flamboyant...
Li Yuan then said to Diwen:
"If you encounter any problems that you can't handle while I'm not in Los Angeles, you can ask them for help."
"Thank you for your care, Your Excellency."
Devon was grateful for Li Yuan's arrangement.
My efforts were not wrong, and His Holiness the Bishop saw it all!
At this point, the food began to be served, and Li Yuan stopped speaking.
Instead, they focused on filling the void in their stomachs.
He pondered in his heart the Wendigo who had attacked him today.
After dinner, Li Yuan didn't rush to look at the equipment Wright had crafted.
Instead, he called Kaplan.
He wanted to know what was going on with the Wendigo he had encountered today.
Kaplan answered the phone quickly and asked respectfully:
"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
"Kaplan, do you remember when I went to rescue Juno?"
"I remember, it was thanks to His Excellency the Bishop's great courage that Juno was able to return to my side."
Listening to Kaplan's praise, Li Yuan shook his head.
He asked in a deep voice:
"That's not the point. The point is, who owns those monsters?"
Li Yuan's words surprised Kaplan, who asked curiously:
"What bastard did you offend?"
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan told Kaplan what had happened:
"Today I was attacked by a group of monsters, and I suspect they are connected to monsters from underground."
Upon hearing that Li Yuan had been attacked, Kaplan was instantly enraged:
"How dare he attack His Holiness the Bishop! He's got a death wish!"
Kaplan gave a light hum and began to introduce the other party's situation to Li Yuan.
"The master of those underground monsters is named George Patten."
"His family is like local tyrants in Chattanooga."
Kaplan paused for a moment, then continued:
"He did worship a monster, I don't know what it's called, but it had a pair of antlers."
Li Yuan took out the strange deer antler pendant from his spatial storage and began to play with it in his hand.
He then nodded and said with a light laugh:
"Yes, it looks like it's him."
