The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

Chapter 208 Opening the Magic Prison

"Knock knock!"

"Enter."

Debbie led the group of main characters from the waterfall behind her into Locke's office. She looked at Locke, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery outside, and said, "Boss, Bonnie is here."

Locke turned around and looked.

into the eye.

The five main characters of the waterfall were all present, no more, no less.

Locke's gaze fell on the little black witch Bonnie, he raised an eyebrow slightly, then gave her a smile that conformed to societal expectations, and reached out to her: "Bonnie, thank you."

The little black witch Bonnie looked at the enthusiastic Locke and quickly reached out to shake his hand: "Hello, Manager Underwood."

Locke smiled and said, "Just call me Locke."

Bonnie hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Locke then shook hands with everyone who had followed him, but when it came to Elena, he paused slightly, then asked curiously, "Does Klaus know you've become a vampire?"

Yes.

Elena still became a vampire.

Despite all the spoilers he gave, and the assumption that the main characters of the waterfall had reached an agreement with Klaus, Elena still turned into a vampire.

Accident?

Or is this a corrective force of the world's will?

after awhile.

Locke gestured for the main characters of the waterfall group to take their seats, and then, after Debbie served the crimson drinks to everyone except the little witch Bonnie,...

Then she handed Bonnie a glass of apple juice: "You're a witch, but you're not twenty-one yet. Sorry, you can't drink alcohol."

Bonnie took the apple juice, looked at the drink in her glass, then at the blood-red drinks in the other people's glasses, and then looked at Locke.

It seems to be saying...

I can't drink alcohol, but they can openly drink blood?

Locke ignored Bonnie's gaze, sat down, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Elena, who had become a vampire, with some curiosity:

"Have you applied for the certificate?"

Elena, who had expected Locke to ask her how she became a vampire, was taken aback when she heard this question, and then looked at Locke.

"It's done."

"That's good."

Locke nodded upon hearing this, and then asked Elena how she had become a vampire.

The main characters of the waterfall didn't hide it from him either.

In a word.

It's all Klaus's fault.

Klaus did indeed have a good talk with Locke when they were in Fallstown.

The main characters from the Falls help Klaus break the seal, and in return, Klaus must leave Falls and never set foot there again.

At first, everything was fine. Elena helped Klaus break the seal and even gave him her own blood.

result--·--

Klaus wanted more and attempted to kidnap Elena, take her home, and slowly drain her blood to build his endless army of blood wolves.

During the kidnapping, an accident occurred. Elena hit her head on the corner of a table, causing a brain hemorrhage. The doctor said there was no hope, so Damon injected his own blood into Elena's body, and Elena became a vampire.

After listening, Locke couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "That does sound like something Klaus would do."

In the original series, Klaus was the kind of person who set the rules but didn't allow himself to follow them.

Simply put, Klaus is an egoist.

fortunately.

He had no intention of becoming close to Klaus, nor did he intend to get involved in the affairs of Fallstown or Klaus.

Just then.

After Locke finished praising Klaus, Stefan frowned and said, "Klaus seems to be avoiding someone."

Locke glanced at Stefan, then looked at the others who were also looking at him and smiled.

"You want to know?"

"think."

"And the price?"

"What?"

"hehe."

Locke glanced at the seemingly surprised group of main characters at the waterfall and chuckled, saying, "You want this information? Fine."

But what can you offer in return? You don't think I'd tell you this information for no reason, do you?

The main characters of the waterfall have different appearances.

Ok.

They were actually hoping that Locke would tell them this for no reason.

Locke chuckled at their expressions, glanced at the time on his watch, and then said to Bonnie, "It's about time. Let's go, Bonnie. After you unlock the door for me, you can go back sooner. I won't keep you in New York City any longer; I guess you don't want to stay here anyway."

The sooner we finish, the sooner we can part ways.

Even if the main characters of the waterfall wanted to stay in New York City for one night, Locke would not allow it.

The answer is always the same: no money.

If the main characters of the waterfall group decide to stay overnight, as the host, should he arrange a good meal and accommodation?

The bureau provides entertainment expenses, but there are standards; any excess must be subsidized by the individual.

so--·-

The best course of action is to finish the job as soon as possible and send them back.

These words were spoken.

The main characters of the waterfall all stood up from the sofa, a scene that left Locke stunned.

"You guys...are you planning to come along too?"

"listen---"

It was Caroline who spoke. Looking at the expression on Locke's face, she asked, "Can't we go together?"

Locke shook his head: "Of course not."

After he finished speaking, he called Debbie in.

after awhile.

Debbie brought in four printed confidentiality agreements, and then handed each of them, which totaled more than fifty pages.

Locke looked at the four people who had received the confidentiality agreement: "You can go, just sign the confidentiality agreement, and then you can return to Fallstown whenever the case is closed. Oh, and if you stay, you're on your own for food and lodging."

Stefan and the others stared in disbelief at the confidentiality agreement that totaled over fifty pages.

Elena looked at Bonnie, whose hands were empty.

"Why isn't Bonnie here?"

"no the same."

Locke explained, "Bonnie is an expert we invited, but you aren't, so how can you be compared to Bonnie?"

Caroline said, "So, after Bonnie takes care of things for you, you can go back to Fallstown, but we can't?"

Locke smiled slightly.

"Yes, the case isn't closed yet. If you leave too, and something goes wrong, will I suspect you, or will I suspect you?"

"What about Bonnie?"

"As I said, Bonnie is an expert we invited."

Locke sighed, "If we don't even trust the experts we've hired, who will come to work for us in the future?"

Stefan and others could not refute this reason.

Bonnie, seeing the group clutching the confidentiality agreement and unsure whether to sign it, said, "Why don't you all wait for me here? Once An-Locke and I have finished our business, we can go back to Fallstown."

Locke laughed and said, "It will be done in as little as three hours. Perfect, we are quite close to Fifth Avenue. You have come all this way to New York City, so you can go shopping on Fifth Avenue. After Bonnie comes back, we can go back to Falls together."

The waterfall has four faces.

Elena looked at her best friend: "Bonnie—."

Bonnie said, "Don't worry, I'm just helping to open the door, nothing will happen."

Seeing this, the four remained silent for a moment before putting down the confidentiality agreement in their hands.

If it were anyone else, like Klaus, they would definitely have signed the confidentiality agreement.

But right now it's not Klaus, it's Locke.

In a word.

Locke is a man of impeccable character. At the very least, in their knowledge, Locke has never broken a promise after keeping it.

soon.

Locke led Bonnie and Debbie out of the Sentinel Special Service building, got into a vehicle, and headed towards St. Patrick's Cathedral.

There was another car behind them carrying a group of four people from the waterfall.

They took Locke's advice and planned to go to Fifth Avenue, stroll around, and see what big-city items they could buy before returning to Falls.

Come to think of it, we've finally made it to New York City, and with a free private jet transfer no less. If we don't do some shopping, then...

It seems like we really lost out.

When the car reached Fifth Avenue, the Falls Quartet's car stopped, while Locke's car continued driving.

"Has Chloe arrived yet?"

"Just arrived."

"Where is Natasha?"

"Not there yet."

"Aren't we there yet?"

"The church sentry said he didn't see anything."

"it is good."

Locke, sitting in the back seat, nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Natasha.

But the phone is busy.

Locke raised an eyebrow: "Did Natasha take Calder elsewhere instead of returning to SHIELD New York after taking over?"

You can't blame him for thinking that way.

Because the target is S.H.I.E.L.D., even though he and Hill are now close partners, Hill still hasn't told him.

They have resurrected Captain America.

What does this mean?

Hill doesn't trust him?

No.

Even with the highest level of trust, one of them belongs to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the other to the Sentinels, so some secrets still need to be kept confidential.

Forget it.

The important matter is the priority.

Locke looked at the St. Patrick's Cathedral he had arrived at, put aside his thoughts, pushed open the door, and went downstairs.

soon.

The underground space of the church.

Bonnie, who had just come down the stairs, couldn't help but exclaim, "The aura of dark magic here is so strong!"

Chloe, who was already waiting in the underground space, saw Locke coming down and quickly went up to greet him: "Locke."

Locke was slightly taken aback, then introduced himself to the two women.

"Bonnie, Chloe, the Dream Witch."

"Chloe, Bonnie, the Black Witch."

Bonnie listened to Locke's introduction, paused for a moment, then shook hands with Chloe: "I am the Salem witch, but I know some dark magic."

Locke chuckled, apologized to Bonnie, then looked at the stone wall leading to the magic prison and asked Chloe, "So, are you confident you can open it this time?"

Chloe pulled Bonnie aside and explained the situation.

after awhile.

The two women stopped talking and looked up at Locke.

He nodded.

"Can!"
