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

The bodyguard immediately wore an infatuated expression and carefully reached out to support Adeline.

"Miss, please be careful not to twist your ankle."

The Enchantress's special abilities allow her to directly control ordinary people with wavering minds.

If it's just about making a man lose his mind to her

For Adeline, it was as easy as drinking water.

"Thank you very much, you are such a gentleman."

Adeline smiled broadly, but inwardly she thought with disdain:

"Hmph! If I weren't afraid of messing things up, I'd make you kneel down and submit to me right now!"

Adeline, arm in arm with her bodyguard, gracefully stepped out of the car.

He then swayed slightly and leaned against the car door for support.

"Oh dear, wearing these shoes today was a terrible choice."

As Adeline spoke, she shifted slightly forward.

Make room for Li Yuan to get out of the car.

Seeing this, the bodyguard quickly supported Adeline and asked anxiously:

"Miss, are you alright? Do you need any help?"

At this moment, the bodyguard was completely captivated by Adeline, losing all sense of direction.

Adeline glanced at his infatuated expression.

Fearing that continuing would cause delays, he withdrew his charm.

He slowly straightened up and said in a cold tone:

"I'm fine, thank you very much for your dedication."

As she spoke, she released the bodyguard's hand.

He walked towards Kaplan without looking back.

The bodyguard only felt his hand lighten as the alluring beauty vanished from before him.

Suddenly, he felt an emptiness in his heart.

At this moment, a colleague quickly walked over.

He slapped the back of his head hard and muttered a curse under his breath:

"Are you fucking tired of living? Do you think you can handle a woman like that?"

The bodyguard immediately snapped out of his daze, watching Adeline's departing figure.

He said, somewhat aggrieved:

"I...I don't know what happened to me..."

Inside the villa,

Unlike the brightly lit homes of other wealthy people,

Rocky's house appeared unusually quiet and frugal.

The dim wall lamp provided some light for the three of them.

I could barely make out the road in front of me.

The bodyguard led Kaplan and his companion slowly deeper into the villa.

Finally, they arrived at a reception room.

The reception room looked very spacious.

Some of the surrounding decorations and furniture appear to have been moved away.

But the few pieces of brown wooden furniture that remained...

The dim yellow wall lamps around the room made the entire living room appear particularly dark and oppressive.

The bodyguards led the two men to William Lodge.

He then stood guard nearby with a wary expression, his hands directly inside his clothes.

Meanwhile, William Lodge, with his gray hair, was squatting beside an ice coffin.

Looking at his long-dead son in the coffin with a kind expression, he murmured to himself:

"It's alright, Elias. The person who killed you has already been sent to hell by me."

You must be very happy in heaven.

Kaplan stared at the ice coffin, a slight unease creeping into his heart.

He could tell that William Lodge was now somewhat mentally unstable.

He steeled himself and spoke softly:

"Mr. Rocky, are you alright?"

William Lodge slowly turned his head, his eyes dark-rimmed, as if he had been up for several sleepless nights.

A neurotic smile hung on his pale face.

"I'm fine! I couldn't be better!"

William Lodge jumped to his feet and rushed excitedly to Kaplan's side.

She gripped his arm tightly and said:

"Since you've been kicked out, it proves I've succeeded!"

Haha, he's right, I really did it!

Kaplan looked at the somewhat deranged William Lodge and asked in confusion:

"who is he?"

William Lodge stopped laughing and stared intently into Kaplan's eyes:

"He told me that the killer's name was Li Yuan, and that he was Asian."

Moreover, he avenged me and described to me how Li Yuan died!

Then, he suddenly shouted:

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't even know how my son died!"

I don't even know who to seek revenge against!

"Kaplan, you shameless bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Kaplan's body trembled violently.

He instinctively took half a step back, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

At this time, William Lodge's mental state was extremely worrying.

Kaplan was terrified that he would suddenly pull out a pistol and shoot him on the spot.

Kaplan quickly raised his hands, his voice trembling as he explained:

"Mr. Rocky, I really didn't know anything about it. I was kept in the dark too."

At the same time, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings of the reception room, and he felt a growing anxiety in his heart:

"Why hasn't Your Excellency made a move yet? I'm terrified..."

At this moment, William Lodge suddenly looked at Adeline and nodded in satisfaction:

"This girl is nice. She'll be perfect to keep my son company."

As he spoke, his expression turned sorrowful again, and his voice choked with emotion:

"He died before he was married; he was only 22 years old..."

William Lodge had a son late in life, and the pain of losing his son was enough to drive him insane.

However, Adeline remained completely unfazed.

He just smiled at the old man, a hint of disdain flashing through his mind.

Adeline believed that Li Yuan would not abandon her.

at this time,

The bodyguard, who had been looking wary, suddenly turned his head!

With a "crack," his eyes rolled back, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

Then, a figure gradually appeared in the reception room.

Startled by the sound, William Lodge quickly turned his head.

When he saw that unforgettable Asian face, his eyes widened in surprise!

"You...you've become a ghost?"

He questioned incredulously:

"Why can't my son do that!"

William Lodge was very surprised.

He firmly believed that Li Yuan had been killed in the explosion.

He thought Li Yuan had turned into an evil spirit and come to seek revenge.

"Because your son doesn't deserve it."

Li Yuan replied coldly, then flashed to William Lodge's side.

He reached out and pinched William Lodge's cheek.

He poured in the [Compliance Potion]!

"Ugh...ugh..."

William Lodge, just an ordinary man, struggled frantically.

At this moment, he finally realized what was happening.

Li Yuan is still alive!

After taking the medicine, Li Yuan did not immediately let go.

Instead, she covered his mouth tightly with her hand.

To prevent him from shouting and alerting others.

A moment later, William Lodge's hate-filled eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

His eyes gradually became dull and lifeless.

Seeing that the medicine was working, Li Yuan slowly released his grip.

Then, Li Yuan went straight to the point, asking in a deep voice the question he cared about most:

"William Lodge, who told you that I killed your son?"

William Lodge's expression immediately became somewhat resistant.

He didn't really want to tell Li Yuan the answer.

However, under such powerful medicinal effects,

He still couldn't control himself and slowly opened his mouth.

"yes......"

William Lodge uttered only one word from his hoarse voice.

His expression suddenly changed.

His gaze went from blank to incredibly deep in an instant.

A strange smile, not belonging to him, curled at the corner of his mouth.

Then, William Lodge's tone became gentle and refined.

He was completely different from his previous madness.

The sound that came from his throat sent chills down Li Yuan's spine!

"Li Yuan, your thirst for knowledge is truly inspiring. Do you also want to become a scholar?"

Li Yuan instantly dodged a great distance and immediately took out 3 bottles of [High-Efficiency Flame Protection Agent] from his system space, clutching them in his hand.

He tossed two of the bottles to Kaplan and Adeline.

He then drank the entire potion in his hand in one gulp.

After feeling a warm sensation go straight into my throat,

Li Yuan wiped his mouth and loudly reminded the two of them:

"Drink it right away!"

William Lodge did not stop Li Yuan's actions.

Instead, he watched with great interest as Kaplan and Adeline drank the potions one by one.

Seeing this, Li Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His eyes were fixed on William Lodge in front of him, and he questioned him sharply:

"Maka? Who the hell are you, you bastard?"
