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

Hearing Amy's slightly wary questioning voice, Mark actually showed a shy expression and smiled awkwardly.

He looked at Maria sitting beside him and explained softly:

"Maria, I am very sorry for what happened before."

I was so foolish before, and it hurt you a lot.

Before Maria could reply, Amy gave Mark a wary look.

His face was full of surprise, and he thought to himself:

"Why did he change his tune today? He actually came all the way here to apologize."

"No need for that, Mark, it's all in the past."

Kind-hearted Maria smiled gently at Mark, not holding onto the previous unpleasantness in her heart.

Hearing that Maria had forgiven him,

A happy smile immediately appeared on Mark's face.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Mary."

Mark clasped his hands together and said earnestly:

"I've completely cut off contact with those bastards from before!"

I want to study hard and get into university.

"Oh my god, are you serious?"

Amy's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she carefully examined Mark in front of her.

She had never seen Mark like this before.

"certainly."

Mark smiled at Amy, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

Then, he paused, looked at Maria again, and said:

"Maria, it won't be long before we all graduate."

By then, it might be difficult to even see them again.

At this point, a slightly awkward expression appeared on Mark's face.

He stammered softly:

"I...I want to..."

As an apology, I invited everyone to a road trip.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to go.

Of course, I will cover all the expenses.

Wow! That's so generous!

Before Maria could speak, Amy let out a strange cry.

Then, she winked playfully at Mark and asked:

"Where to travel?"

"How's West Virginia?"

Mark shrugged and casually mentioned the destination of his trip.

Then he explained to Amy:

My home is over there; I have a nice vacation cottage there.

The scenery there is truly beautiful.

"Oh! That's not good."

Upon hearing Mark's suggestion, Amy waved her hand dismissively, showing no interest.

He then shared his thoughts:

"We're not even as good as Miami; I prefer the beaches there."

"Please, Amy!"

Mark let out a strange cry and casually remarked:

"Haven't you had enough sunbathing in Los Angeles?"

Then, Mark continued to persuade him:

"We should go to a different environment to have some fun; maybe we'll have a different experience."

Although Amy's face was full of disappointment,

But Bridget, standing to the side, was somewhat tempted.

She smiled and moved closer to Mark, asking softly:

"Mark, can I go too?"

Mark agreed without hesitation:

"Of course, count me in as a Bridget."

Then, Mark raised an eyebrow at Amy and said:

"You can bring Sean with you; there are plenty of rooms there."

Seeing that her friend agreed and even allowed her to bring her boyfriend,

Amy reluctantly nodded and agreed:

"Okay, I'll go take a look too."

At this moment, seeing that Bridget had agreed to Mark's request, Peter quickly raised his hand and said:

"Um...can I come with you?"

"No problem, Peter."

After Mark agreed to Peter's request, he jokingly added:

"But your sister can't go."

"Of course, I won't let her follow me anymore."

Peter made an exaggerated vow, while secretly glancing at Bridget.

Seeing that everyone had been fooled enough,

Mark turned his gaze to Maria, the only one who hadn't agreed.

"So, Maria, would you like to come along?"

Seeing that Amy and the others had accepted the invitation, Maria pondered for a moment,

He finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go, Mark."

Mark breathed a sigh of relief when Maria accepted the travel invitation.

He happily addressed the crowd:

"Then it's settled. I'll drive to pick you up after the holiday."

Mark greeted the group with a smile, and then...

He slowly turned around and walked towards his seat.

The warm smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sinister grin.

At noon, the flight carrying Li Yuan and his two companions landed smoothly at Los Angeles International Airport.

After getting into Edward's car, the group headed to Li Yuan's manor.

Having received the news, Devon had already instructed the manor's chefs.

A sumptuous meal was prepared to welcome Li Yuan and his entourage back.

Upon returning to the manor, Li Yuan exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

He then led everyone to the restaurant where they ate and chatted.

Li Yuan first looked at Edward sitting to the side and asked with some curiosity:

"Edward, after you sent Alex and his group back to Los Angeles, did you encounter any trouble?"

"No, we took care of it very easily, the owner of that film company."

Edward, who was eating, smiled and replied.

He glanced at Devin beside him and whispered to Li Yuan:

"With our current connections, dealing with him is nothing."

"That's right, I directly acquired that company."

Devin chimed in, praising Edward:

"With Mr. Edward in charge, that guy wouldn't dare utter a sound."

"That's true."

Li Yuan looked at Edward, who was holding his chin up and waiting for praise, and shook his head with a light laugh.

With Devin around, using both carrots and sticks, the other party simply couldn't refuse.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan continued to ask Edward:

When will Alex's video be released online?

"I heard it will be soon."

Recalling the promises Alex made to him before they parted,

Edward explained to Li Yuan with great conviction:

"Alex's team is working overtime to edit the video."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded slightly and said to Edward:

"After the video was released, the firm's commissions will likely see another surge."

"Everyone'll be busy then."

Edward glanced at everyone at the table and said without any concern:

"No problem, we have so many exorcists here, we can handle it all."

Not counting Lucian, who was on a mission in New York,

At this moment, there were six servants affiliated with the Holy Light Agency at Li Yuan's dining table.

They are Edward, Jamie, Grace, Ades, Lou, and Penelope, who recently joined the team.

"That's hard to say. You know, this land is teeming with terrifying creatures."

Li Yuan made a pointed, sarcastic remark.

Then he turned his gaze to Penelope, who was quietly eating to the side.

She has officially joined the firm as a receptionist.

"Penelope, are you settling in well at the firm?"

Hearing Li Yuan call her name, Penelope nodded quickly and responded with a smile:

"It's fantastic, I'm very satisfied."

"That's good."

Li Yuan smiled and whispered his instructions:

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me anytime."

"I will."

Penelope winked at Li Yuan with a smile and continued eating the food on her plate.

Li Yuan withdrew his gaze, thinking that the servants were not yet accustomed to using holy light skills.

He then instructed everyone:

"From today onwards, everyone should strive to become as proficient as possible in using the Holy Light skills I will teach you."

That will make it much easier and faster for you to deal with evil creatures.

Upon hearing this, Lu and Malakan scratched their faces somewhat awkwardly.

This matter is mainly addressed to people like them.

Ordinary people like Edward and Jamie have long been proficient in Holy Light skills.

Thinking of this, Lu and Malakan responded in deep voices:

"I will, sir."

Li Yuan glanced at the two of them with a look of disappointment and frustration.

Then he thought of Lucian, who was far away in New York, and thought to himself:

I wonder how Lucian's mission is progressing.
