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

After boarding the plane, Li Yuan still activated [Sensing Evil Creatures].

His sharp gaze swept across the plane.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did he slowly sit down in his seat.

Edward, watching Li Yuan intently, asked curiously:

"What are you staring at? The flight attendant was looking at you the whole time."

"What else can I do? Of course, I'm checking for any dangers. You know how unlucky I am."

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Edward and said with considerable confidence:

"As for why the flight attendants looked at me, it's obviously because I'm handsome."

"Li Yuan, stop bragging. When did you become so confident?"

Edward muttered a curse under his breath, then chuckled and said:

"It's really bad luck. I've never seen Raphael as busy as you."

Li Yuan glanced at the short-haired flight attendant who was secretly sizing him up, and said with a smile:

"Just wait and see."

Sure enough, after the plane took off,

The short-haired flight attendant then used the excuse of asking if she wanted a drink to...

He secretly slipped a note to Li Yuan.

Edward witnessed the whole thing.

As the flight attendant left their side, Edward said incredulously:

"You can do this? This isn't fair!"

"I'm not bad either, so why doesn't anyone slip me a note?"

Li Yuan glanced at the note, casually put it in his pocket, and teased Edward with a smile:

"Don't you want true love? Why are you envious of me?"

"This...this doesn't conflict..."

Li Yuan glanced at this hypocritical guy, smiled, and picked up a magazine to read.

Two hours later, the plane landed safely at El Paso International Airport.

The two first easily rented a car at the airport.

They then drove towards Edward's hometown.

The last time they accompanied Edward back to his hometown, the two had their car window repaired in El Paso.

So I'm quite familiar with the roads here.

I just don't know if that little gray car is still at the Ledomas family estate.

Edward drove the car and quickly drove out of El Paso's area.

Along the way, after Li Yuan's comforting words,

Edward seemed to have eased his anxiety somewhat and no longer looked so dejected.

Just as the two were chatting casually, Li Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

The caller was from an unfamiliar number.

Li Yuan answered the phone curiously and asked:

"Hello, I'm Li Yuan. How can I help you?"

A mature man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

He asked, sounding somewhat weary:

"Hello Mr. Li Yuan, I'm Cotton, Cotton Marcus. Do you remember me?"

"Well..."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, though he couldn't remember.

But I still forced myself to say it:

"Oh! Hello Mr. Cotton, what can I do for you?"

Cotton didn't seem to care about Li Yuan's attitude, and instead asked:

"I don't know if you have any time recently, but I have a case I'd like to ask for your help with."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan glanced at Edward beside him.

He said with a hint of apology:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cotton, I'm afraid I don't have time today."

"It's okay, tomorrow or the day after is fine."

Cotton said somewhat nervously:

"I'll be waiting for you in New Orleans, Louisiana. Please!"

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible..."

Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Edward, in the driver's seat, suddenly interrupted him:

"Li Yuan, go and handle the commission first. I'm not in a hurry here!"

"But we'll be there soon."

Li Yuan glanced at the road ahead and said to Edward:

"We can handle it quickly."

However, Edward shook his head, looked at Li Yuan, and said meaningfully:

"Li Yuan, this trip home isn't just about dealing with the demon."

My parents and sister are also a burden.

Edward glanced at the map and said to Li Yuan:

"Besides, New Orleans isn't that far, so the round trip won't take up much time."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan rolled his eyes and said to Edward:

"Are you trying to imitate Yu the Great controlling the floods?"

Edward asked with a puzzled look:

"Who is that?"

"Who that is doesn't matter."

Li Yuan sighed, realizing that resolving Edward's family matters seemed to be no easy task, and then said:

"Turn around, you don't want to drive all the way to New Orleans, do you?"

Edward said "Oh," and quickly turned around.

Heading towards El Paso.

Li Yuan steadied himself, glanced at his watch,

He said to Cotton on the other end of the phone:

"I'm leaving now, and it should take about 3 hours to get to New Orleans."

Cotton was deeply grateful for Li Yuan's last-minute change of plans.

He expressed his gratitude with great emotion:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li Yuan. I will pay the full commission fee!"

After hanging up the phone, the car quickly returned to El Paso International Airport.

However, after Edward took Li Yuan to the airport,

However, he did not buy a plane ticket to New Orleans.

Li Yuan stared at Edward with a surprised expression and asked:

Aren't you coming to New Orleans with me?

Edward asked with a puzzled look:

"When did I ever say I wanted to go with you?"

I just told you to take care of the commission first, then come find me.

Li Yuan frowned, grabbed Edward's arm, and said:

"What are you doing? Don't do anything foolish! That demon is beyond your capabilities!"

Edward smiled and patted Li Yuan's arm, saying softly:

"I believe what you say, and I won't provoke that demon."

I just wanted to get home first and try to persuade my family.

He lowered his head, his expression somewhat somber, and added:

"After all, they are all my family, and my only wish is to avoid hurting them."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

He slowly released his grip and solemnly instructed:

"Then it's settled. You must wait for me to arrive before you make any moves. You are not allowed to act on your own."

"Don't worry! I'm just a little slow, but not stupid."

Edward chuckled and made a sarcastic remark, then hugged Li Yuan and waved goodbye.

Li Yuan gave Edward a warning look, then walked alone towards the waiting area.

Edward stood there, watching Li Yuan's retreating figure.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

What replaced his gaze was an unusually firm expression.

He was initially afraid to go home alone and face his family.

That's why I brought Li Yuan along, hoping he would come back and help.

But just now, as the car drove away from the airport and got closer and closer to home,

A thought suddenly became clear in his mind.

You have to handle your own family matters yourself.

Even Li Yuan, who was as close as a brother, was ultimately an outsider.

In this struggle concerning his own life and the survival of his family,

Li Yuan will still find himself in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

Edward has already made his plans.

He plans to play a game with his family to determine the family's ultimate fate.

Li Yuan was actually able to guess some of Edward's thoughts.

Last time, I didn't take direct action because Edward's family was there.

Li Yuan could only hope that Edward could win over his family.

Then he will deal with the demon hiding behind the family.

As the plane gradually took off, Li Yuan gazed at the clouds outside the window and fell into deep thought.
