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

As the car drew closer to its destination,

Edward's face grew increasingly grim.

This was the first time Li Yuan had ever seen him with such a repressed and painful expression, even after knowing him for so long.

As evening fell, Edward drove his used Ford.

We slowly drove into a brightly lit, luxurious manor.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Yuan curiously looked around at the elegant buildings and meticulously manicured gardens.

He sighed inwardly.

"Wow, Edward's family is incredibly wealthy."

Edward soon parked the car in front of the old manor house on the estate.

A man dressed in a tuxedo, looking like a butler, strode forward.

She eagerly opened Edward's car door.

"Welcome home, Master Edward."

Edward nodded and handed the car keys to the butler.

"Stevens, take good care of Little Grey."

Li Yuan, who was getting out of the car, paused for a moment and subconsciously looked at the butler.

But the butler didn't seem to care at all; he just smiled and bowed.

"No problem, Master Edward."

At this moment, a woman slowly walked out.

He called out affectionately to Edward:

"Edward, my son, you've finally come back."

Edward, with a somber face, reluctantly hugged his mother.

Then, turning to Li Yuan, he introduced:

"This is Becky, my mother."

"Hello, madam, my name is Li Yuan, and I am Edward's friend."

Li Yuan greeted Edward's mother with a smile.

Becky smiled and nodded, saying politely:

"Thank you for coming back with Edward. I hope you have a great time here."

Becky then looked at Edward and said softly:

"Your father is waiting for you in his study. Come in with me quickly."

Although Edward's expression was unpleasant, he did not refuse.

He looked at Li Yuan and said, "Li Yuan, I'll come find you again later."

He then followed his mother into the old house.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan, who was holding the Hell Detective, was approached by a tall maid.

They led us to the guest rooms in the old house.

Feeling the luxurious and elegant furnishings inside the old house,

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel puzzled:

Why did Edward cut off contact with his family?

Is he yet another person who refuses to inherit the family fortune and insists on being independent and relying on himself?

Having no clue, Li Yuan shook his head and gave up on thinking about the problem.

He called to the maid in front of him and asked:

"Excuse me, could you please take me to the kitchen first?"

Although the maid looked puzzled, at Li Yuan's request,

She nodded and led him to the kitchen.

Since he had nothing better to do, Li Yuan decided to use this time to refine an underwater breathing agent.

Clara, the maid, was completely bewildered, but out of curiosity, she did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood in the corner, watching Li Yuan's movements with curiosity.

I want to see what Edward's friend is up to.

Li Yuan ignored her and pretended to put his hand into his backpack.

Remove the metal container and pharmaceutical materials from the system space.

Next, place the container on the stove, add the ingredients in the order of the recipe, and simmer.

As the cooking time increased, the fishy smell in the container became stronger and stronger.

The Hell Detective, perched on Li Yuan's shoulder, choked and raised his little paw to cover his face.

The maid, Clara, was also choked and covered her nose before retreating.

Just then, a young woman happened to pass by.

She covered her nose and asked the maid:

"Clara, who's making fish soup in there? It smells so fishy!"

"Miss Emily is a friend of Master Edward's inside."

Emily frowned as she walked into the kitchen and said to Li Yuan:

"Sir, shouldn't you... be a guest in someone else's home?"

Emily hadn't finished speaking when

Then, a burst of azure light erupted from the container in front of Li Yuan!

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and said with a hint of apology:

"Sorry, I didn't expect this thing to smell so strong..."

A peculiar glint flashed in Emily's eyes as she looked at Li Yuan.

She asked in amazement, "Sir, are you a wizard?"

"No, it doesn't."

Li Yuan had just overheard the conversation between the two people outside the door and knew that they were Edward's family.

He planned to use this opportunity to give himself a slap on the back:

"I am actually an exorcist."

As he spoke, Li Yuan took out a business card and handed it over.

Emily's expression stiffened the moment she took the business card.

The astonishment on her face vanished instantly, replaced by intense wariness.

A hint of panic even flashed in his eyes.

"Oh...hehe, welcome to Ledomas's house."

Emily greeted Li Yuan with an awkward smile.

He then quickly left the kitchen without looking back.

Li Yuan stared blankly at the departing woman, his mind filled with questions:

"I don't think I've done anything... rude, have I?"

Li Yuan shook his head and ignored the other party.

Instead, they took out empty bottles and repackaged the underwater breathing agents one by one.

[Underwater breathing agent: After ingestion, it grants the ability to breathe underwater, with effects lasting up to 30 minutes.]

The potion was successfully brewed and divided into 15 bottles.

The dosage is similar to that of the Demon Slayer Potion.

Looking at the azure liquid, Li Yuan's face was full of joy.

This little thing completely solved his problem of being unable to move freely in the water.

However, just as Li Yuan was feeling happy about the medicine...

Emily then ran quickly to her father's study.

She pushed open the door and entered, finding Edward talking to his father.

He immediately questioned Edward loudly:

"Edward, you actually brought an exorcist home! What are you trying to do?"

Edward's father, Tony, was also taken aback by his daughter's words.

His expression immediately turned ugly:

"Edward, do you hate your family that much?"

Seeing that Li Yuan had been exposed, Edward opened up to his father:

"I love you, Father. I love all of you."

Edward glanced at his father, his eyes reddening.

His tone was filled with pain and urgency: "That's why I want to take you back from that demon!"

"I don't want you to go through that evil ritual anymore!"

Tony watched his son scream in silence, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of the sofa.

After gazing at him for a moment, he slowly spoke:

"But without that demon, how could our family have become so wealthy?"

Is money really more important than the lives of family members?

Edward roared:

"Every time a new member joins the family, we have to go through that horrible ritual game!"

"Of course money is more important!"

At this moment, Emily suddenly interjected, smiling as she looked at Edward:

"How could we live this kind of life without money?"

"Edward, why don't you just not get married and live a lonely life?"

If we get married, we have to come back and play the game once!

Edward ignored his sister.

He looked at his father, who was sitting on the sofa deep in thought, his eyes full of pleading:

"Father, if you are willing, my friend will surely be able to drive away that demon."

"No! Father, don't listen to Edward's nonsense!"

Faced with his son and daughter arguing, Tony pondered for a long time with a serious expression.

After a moment, he stood up and said to his son:

"Edward, how about we have a family meeting and let everyone vote by raising their hands?"

"good!"

Edward slowly let out a sigh of relief.

At least his father didn't directly reject him, so there was still hope.

Tony waved to Edward, his tone softening slightly:

"You should go back first and show your friends around the manor."

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Edward ran out of his father's study with great excitement.

However, after Edward left the study, Tony instructed his daughter Emily:

"Go and call all family members here, but remember to avoid Edward."
