I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan, with Adeline by his side, quickly returned to Raphael's shop.

After receiving the materials prepared for him by Raphael

Adeline followed Li Yuan into Raphael's kitchen.

But when Adeline saw the alchemical container provided by Li Yuan, she was stunned.

She pointed at the copper pot in the kitchen, her eyes widening as she looked at Li Yuan.

He asked incredulously:

"You...you're going to let me use this to make potions?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

As Li Yuan fiddled with the bottle, he said casually:

"What's the difference? I just finished concocting two potions."

Raphael looked at Adeline with curiosity and chimed in at the opportune moment:

"I testify that Li Yuan did not lie."

However, if you need a crucible, I can get you one.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Hey, no need to go through all that trouble. It doesn't matter what container you use, there are no so many rules."

Li Yuan's words shattered Adeline's worldview.

The witch training she received from childhood required her to follow rules and traditions.

Some special medicines can only be prepared on specific dates.

Adeline glared and shouted:

"Stop joking! This...this doesn't follow tradition at all! Aren't you afraid the potion will become ineffective?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, or you won't be allowed to eat dinner tonight."

Li Yuan turned and walked out of the kitchen, saying calmly:

"I'm sparing your life because I want you to create value for me, not to teach me traditional lessons."

He patted Raphael on the shoulder.

He gestured for him to come out with him, telling him not to worry about Adeline.

Adeline glanced at Li Yuan's departing figure with a wronged expression.

She spat at him angrily before silently getting back to her work.

"Is it really okay to leave her alone in the kitchen? Should I go help her out?"

Raphael tried to comfort Li Yuan with a worried expression, glancing towards the kitchen every now and then, his eyes full of concern.

"It's alright, she's more professional than me when it comes to potion making."

Raphael said helplessly:

"Okay, I'm actually more worried about my kitchen."

Li Yuan: "..."

The two sat down at the shop counter and chatted briefly.

Raphael didn't inquire about what Li Yuan was going to do, and Li Yuan didn't explain either.

The two were like old friends.

They chatted casually about recent gossip and interesting events.

For example, Britney Spears' whirlwind marriage and divorce.

For example, the prison chief attended the preliminary hearing of the relevant case.

And there's the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.

I heard that Michael Jackson's sister Janet will be attending.

As the two got into a lively conversation

Adeline walked out of the kitchen with a gloomy face, carrying a bottle of medicine.

She handed the medicine to Li Yuan and said in a stiff tone:

"The potion is ready, but I can't guarantee its effectiveness."

Li Yuan took the medicine and waved it in front of him.

Then a playful smile appeared on his face:

"I have a method for testing the effectiveness of medicine. Would you like to know it?"

Adeline was taken aback by his words and took a small step back.

"You...you're going too far..."

Adeline hadn't finished speaking when

Li Yuan suddenly stood up and grabbed Adeline's pretty face.

Then, just like when they first met, he pinched her chin.

He poured the [Compliance Potion] into Adeline's mouth!

Adeline gagged twice, clutching her throat, and was about to point at Li Yuan and hurl a few curses at him.

The next second, she froze on the spot, her eyes glazed over.

They became puppets who obeyed Li Yuan's orders.

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, looking at the dazed Adeline and said softly:

"The medicine seems to be working well, so how can you say that the effect cannot be guaranteed?"

Li Yuan turned to look at Raphael, who looked completely bewildered, and asked with a smile:

"Let's continue. Where were we?"

After half an hour,

Seeing that Adeline, who was standing blankly to the side, still showed no signs of waking up, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Li Yuan got up and went to Adeline's side, casting the [Cleanse] spell on her.

A dazzling beam of holy light exploded above Adeline's head.

A spark of life finally returned to her eyes.

Raphael watched the holy light gradually dissipate.

He sincerely praised Li Yuan, saying:

That was absolutely brilliant!

I still remember how you looked when you saved Patricia and her two children.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled slightly and turned to look at Raphael.

He asked in a slightly seductive tone:

"Do you want to learn? If you join us, you can acquire this ability."

Raphael was somewhat tempted, but after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and refused:

"Let's forget about it. I have my own mission."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, not pressuring him.

At this point, Adeline had finally fully recovered.

She looked at Li Yuan, her whole body trembling, and said:

"How could you do this! What did you just do to me?"

Adeline looked ashamed and indignant; she felt she was no longer clean.

[Ding! The servant has developed a sense of affinity towards the host, loyalty +10!]

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing the notification sound in his ear.

Looking at Adeline in front of him, he asked with some surprise:

"Are you a masochist?"

"No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Yuan ignored the hypocritical woman.

He turned and went into the kitchen, where he put all ten-odd bottles of [Compliance Potion] that Adeline had prepared into his system space.

"Raphael, can I borrow your car for a moment?"

Raphael didn't ask any further questions and simply tossed the key to Li Yuan.

Thanks.

Li Yuan, having taken the car keys, spoke softly to Adeline, who was still in a state of high fever:

"Let's go, let's pack up and head to New York."

Adeline was taken aback by his words, and she stammered, "..."

"Go...go to New York? Why?"

"Why so many whys? Just come with me."

Li Yuan glared at Adeline, then took out his phone and called Kaplan.

Adeline gave a somewhat aggrieved "Oh."

Then, pouting, she followed Li Yuan and quickly left Raphael's shop.

After receiving Li Yuan's call, Kaplan immediately asked:

"Your Excellency, are we about to depart?"

"That's right, you should call William Lodge first."

Tell them that you're being hunted by the Holy Light Cult because of your poor performance.

Tell him some secrets about Elias's cause of death.

Kaplan paused for a moment upon hearing this, and said somewhat awkwardly:

"That old bastard William Lodge probably won't believe it, will he?"

"It's okay, that's not important, as long as you can see him."

As he spoke, Li Yuan continued with the arrangements:

"By the way, bring more bodyguards; I'll blend in with them."

"Oh... okay!"

Kaplan's throat was a little dry, and he had a feeling that this trip to New York was going to be anything but peaceful.

Soon, Li Yuan drove Rafael's car to Los Angeles International Airport.

He parked in the parking lot where there were no other cars around.

They then began changing clothes inside the car.

Of course, the disguise here simply involves changing into a pair of black dress pants that bodyguards usually wear.

The coat can be transformed in a moment.

Just as Li Yuan started to take off his pants,

Adeline, standing nearby, immediately covered her eyes and screamed:

"Ah—! What are you doing! I don't want to be in the car!"

[Ding! The servant has developed a sense of affinity towards the host, loyalty +10!]

Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Li Yuan muttered to himself:

"You're dreaming."
