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

Li Yuan reached out and took the phone.

Charles's excited voice immediately came through the phone:

"Mr. Li Yuan, thank you so much for your help!"

"Hehe, you're too kind. It's what I should do."

Li Yuan smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Charles.

Seeing that the other party didn't mention commission, he asked directly:

"And my commission..."

"Oh, you don't need to worry!"

Richard, realizing what was happening, quickly said:

"Give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to you right away."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and gave them his card number.

After whispering a few words of advice to the person next to him,

Charles asked curiously over the phone:

"Mr. Li seems... a little short of money?"

Li Yuan, who was about to exchange a few polite words, was taken aback by the question.

Is it because they're annoyed that I'm asking for more commission?

He scoffed and said, "Who would complain about having too much money?"

"After all, this is a place where you can't get anywhere without money."

Sensing the resistance in Li Yuan's tone, Charles quickly explained:

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you've misunderstood."

He chuckled twice and then revealed his purpose to Li Yuan:

"I'd like to invite you to a party. I can introduce you to some friends there. Would you be interested?"

Charles's answer surprised Li Yuan.

After realizing he had misunderstood, Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

But they still didn't want to miss the opportunity to expand their exorcism business.

He smoothly changed his tone and agreed with a smile:

"Of course I'm interested. When?"

"January 13th, in New York."

Charles was delighted to hear that Li Yuan had agreed and said:

"I will contact you then."

After speaking with Charles on the phone, Li Yuan and his group got into their car and returned to Manhattan, New York.

Ajin did not travel with them, but left quietly on his own.

Lucero and his mercenaries first took Alexandra to the hospital for a check-up.

Then Lucero drove Li Yuan to the airport by himself.

Before parting, Lucero made a point of shaking hands with Li Yuan:

"It is a great honor to work with you, and I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again."

"Hehe, there will be an opportunity."

Li Yuan smiled and waved at him before turning and walking into the airport behind him.

It was nearly midnight.

Li Yuan was lucky enough to snag a ticket for the earliest available flight.

Taking a ride in the middle of the night is too troublesome, and you might even encounter perverts.

Li Yuan had no choice but to call Edward and ask him to come pick him up from the airport.

"Hey, Li Yuan, how did the commission go?"

Edward sounded very excited when he answered the phone.

"Of course! I also made some extra money on the side."

Li Yuan smiled and continued to ask:

"How was your day? Did you learn anything from Raphael?"

"I've learned something!"

Edward excitedly explained to Li Yuan:

"I just learned today that the seeds of the flame tree can ward off evil spirits!"

"It possesses inherent sacred energy, capable of forming a barrier to isolate spirits, especially effective against vengeful spirits in water!"

Li Yuan smiled, somewhat surprised:

"Wow, you've memorized it pretty well!"

"Of course! I'm determined to become an exorcist!"

"Shut up..."

After Li Yuan and his group evacuated, the New York police received a report and rushed to the Night Demon's lair.

However, with Night Demon already defeated by Li Yuan...

There were still police officers injured or killed there.

The police were thoroughly exasperated by the various traps left behind by the Night Demon.

They were so horrified by the horrific scene inside that they were speechless.

Soon after, major New York media outlets also rushed to the scene.

Just after Li Yuan boarded the plane, New York media reported the news that the Night Demon's lair had been discovered.

It seems that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

All the reports deliberately mentioned Li Yuan's name.

He was portrayed as a mysterious exorcist and a hero who rescued the innocent.

His past exorcisms and rescue operations have been brought up again.

It started being reposted wildly online.

Li Yuan, who was on the plane, suddenly became famous without his knowledge.

Inside a villa in Priscilla, San Francisco

Kaplan, holding the phone, joked with his old friend, "Hayes, you've got a quick move this time."

On the other end of the phone, Hawes said in a calm tone:

"Hehe, since we're planning to recruit him..."

"Then we need to build up his reputation first, to make his status commensurate with the Stonemasons' Brotherhood."

"Yes, with the two of us and Charles, there are three of us."

Kaplan paused for a moment, then informed Hoyce of the latest situation:

"Charles has already invited Li Yuan to our New Year's party."

"Oh? Then we can hold the initiation ceremony right away."

At this point, Hoyce suddenly paused, then asked somewhat uncertainly:

"He won't refuse, will he?"

Kaplan recalled Li Yuan's avarice and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, he'll join. You just need to figure out what to give him."

At 4 a.m., Li Yuan had just stepped out of the airport.

Then they saw Edward standing by the roadside, yawning.

Li Yuan stepped forward and gave him a tight hug.

He then got into Edward's newly bought Ford Mustang.

After getting into the car, Li Yuan looked it over; it was a completely different style from Edward's.

He asked with some doubt:

"Why have you changed your mind and bought this kind of car?"

Edward did not answer Li Yuan immediately.

Instead, he slammed on the gas pedal.

Enjoying the roar of the engine, he smiled and said to Li Yuan:

"Since you've chosen a different path in life, you should explore more new things!"

He turned to look at Li Yuan and shouted:

"I feel great right now!"

Li Yuan silently fastened his seatbelt and said speechlessly:

"I feel terrible..."

The two of them faced the 4 a.m. sun in Los Angeles.

Instead of returning to her apartment to rest, she went directly to Li Yuan's office.

Going back at this time wouldn't allow for much rest, so it's better to just open for business.

After getting off the bus, Li Yuan looked at Edward in the rising sun.

I noticed that he seemed to have really changed.

He seems to have lost a little weight, and his eyes look more bright.

And... I haven't shaved yet...

"You've started dieting?"

"That's right! I want to make a complete change!"

"But could you please shave your beard? It scares me..."

Just then, Li Yuan's phone rang.

He took out his phone, puzzled, and answered the call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Li Yuan?"

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

"Yes, this is you. How can I help you?"

"I saw your potent exorcism potion for sale online. Does it really work?"

Upon hearing that business had come knocking, Li Yuan quickly smiled and began to recommend the product:

"Don't worry, money-back guarantee if it doesn't work! I'll include detailed instructions!"

"Oh! That's great! May I come to your shop now?"

"No problem, I've already opened the shop!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan looked at Edward in surprise and said with a smile:

"They opened so quickly today! The early bird catches the worm!"

But before the two could even enjoy their moment, Li Yuan's phone rang again.

"Hello, could you please tell me about exorcism water...?"

Early in the morning, Li Yuan, who hadn't had a sale in a long time,

Completely bewildered, they sold four bottles of holy water in a row.

Some people even bought a liver pie to take home...

After seeing off the last customer

The two people sitting in the office looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

Meanwhile, at the Vatican headquarters in Los Angeles...

Archbishop Roger roared furiously at his men:

"You bunch of useless idiots, you've really made that guy famous!"

The clergy under his command all lowered their heads and dared not respond.

They were afraid that the anger would spread to them.

Roger's eyes swept fiercely over the crowd, and he said through gritted teeth:

"I don't care what methods you use, I want him to disappear."
