Chapter Twenty-Six: Luke's Request

"There are a lot of things in this world that may not be the same as you think. www.biquge.info I knew it from the moment I saw Melissa become a complete stranger and wanted to hurt me and Lisa!" said Joseph and Jia Huan as they sat on the balcony and watched the sunlight slowly pull the shadows of the woods into long shadows.

Jia Huan was just drinking tea, he was a listener.

"So...... Whatever happens, I don't find it unusual. It's like that huge wolf, and that tiger that is even more ferocious than a wolf. I know it's because of you, you can do things that ordinary people can't. Joseph squinted and glanced at Jia Huan, who was indifferent.

"Luke decided to do it your way. And tomorrow we will hire someone to dig up the pool. Joseph told him about Luke Prescott's decision, "He decided to pay you double the price." ”

"He must have asked you to convince me, if it goes well, it will definitely not need to be doubled. If I don't agree, then impress me with double the price. Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.

"You're very direct, but I like it, so I skipped the first part and went to the second double price. Joseph laughed too, "See, some people always make themselves more rational after they have suffered." ”

"Lisa called me in the morning and I went to Elizabeth's house. Jia Huan told Joseph about the morning, he had nothing to say to Joseph, there were no taboos, "In this world, there are not only werewolves, but also vampires, just like legends." Legends are able to become legends because they always have their roots. ”

"So...... Is the world we live in safe?" Joseph's eyes showed a look of concern, "We live in such a bad ecological chain. I've always thought that humans are already at the top of the ecological chain. ”

"Of course, people are really at the top. Jia Huan nodded, "So...... Human beings can always know how to deal with these things, and the Tao cultivated by people like me is born for this......"

"I know, so...... You showed up and saved me and Lisa. It's just that...... Melissa...... I don't know how she ended up like that, does it have anything to do with the vampire family you just mentioned?" asked Joseph.

"Yes, but it doesn't have much to do with the Gustin family, and he's a friend of Thor Gustin. Three bastards. They forcibly poured Melissa liquor in the bar and then took her to the woods to QJ her. One of them bit her. And then he has been hiding in the basement of Laredo Gustine, for fifteen years. I've been looking for them for fifteen years, and last night, if it weren't for David Gustin, I might have had to wait a while. Jia Huan nodded, "The three of them are dead, and just last night, I went to Gustin's house." Then all the problems were solved. ”

Joseph was silent.

"Huan, I want to go to Melissa's grave. Joseph suddenly said to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan nodded.

Jia Huan and Joseph walked over directly. For the cemetery was not far away, in the woods of Joseph's house. So it's only a matter of walking for a while.

It was only now that Joseph really understood why Melissa had become like that. He didn't blame the Robin Gustin family, they weren't involved in the crime. And the three people back then, if according to Jia Huan's words, are already dead, even fifteen years later, they can be regarded as paying the price for what they did.

As soon as you reach out, you can touch the photo on the tombstone. Joseph placed a bush of wildflowers pulled from the side of the road in front of the tombstone, and then crouched there, watching quietly. He suddenly felt that he had nothing more to say to Melissa. For fifteen years, he felt that he was the biggest victim.

He had once blamed Melissa in his heart for being merciless to himself and Lisa. Even if it has become that terrible appearance, has even the soul changed?

But now it seems that Melissa is the biggest victim.

Lisa didn't know about it, so she ...... I suggest you'd better not tell Lisa. Jia Huan said, "She can't accept this kind of result." For more than ten years, you have been using a lie to maintain the image of the mother in her mind, so ...... Just let this lie continue! It's good for you and Lisa!"

Joseph nodded and remained silent. After staying quietly in front of Melissa's tombstone for a while, he stood up and said to Jia Huan, "Let's go." He just walked a few steps, but stopped again and looked at Jia Huan, "People...... Is there really no soul?"

"Yes, of course there is a soul, everyone has it, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see. Jia Huan nodded.

"Melissa, then...... Can I see her?" Joseph looked at Jia Huan with hope, but his expression immediately darkened again, smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said, "You said it...... Melissa is soulless. Because she is the cursed one. ”

"So you should let go of the past......" Jia Huan didn't persuade him, and after saying this, he didn't say anything anymore.

Along the way, both men were somewhat silent. After a while, Joseph said, "What about Luke's side?"

"Let him come by himself. ”

Although Jia Huan doesn't like people like Luke Prescott, he is not averse to helping him. Originally, this was also a kind of cultivation of the Tao.

Joseph quickly brought the news to Luke Prescott, who came quickly. When I went to Jia Huan's house, although I felt a little embarrassed, I still had to lower my posture: "Mr. Jia, I admit it...... I've made mistakes before. But please forgive me, I just ...... A very superficial person. ”

Jia Huan no longer took a pretentious posture, nodded and said, "Let's find someone to dig up the bottom of the middle of the pool first, and then call me, I will go over, you do this first." ”

Jia Huan's order, Luke Prescott did not dare to object at all now, and immediately went out to make arrangements. Jia Huan said to Joseph, who was accompanying Luke Prescott, "Why don't you go with me to see it then?"

"Of course, why not!" said Joseph, too.

He would love to see Luke Prescott look so cautious after he was deflated.

While he was talking, he suddenly saw a Chevrolet SUV driving in, and when Joseph saw it, he said to Jia Huan, "It's Mr. Cotter's car." Why did he get here?"

It was indeed Mr. Cotter's car, and when he arrived, it was Mr. Cotter and his wife Sanna who got out of the car. The two of them walked up the stairs to Jia Huan, saw Jia Huan stand up, and nodded at him.

"I'm sorry...... "I was going to make a phone call first, but I thought it would be better to come in person...... Thank you so much for everything, Mr. Jia. ”

"Please be seated!" Jia Huan made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Cotter, and let them sit on the balcony, and the four of them sat down around the table, and Joseph was about to leave. But Jia Huan pressed his hand and asked him to sit down and wait.

Mr. Cotter looked at Joseph and then at Jia Huan, his expression was more calm, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to come over and say thank you." I don't want to leave here, I've lived here for many years, including my father. Last night's crisis was the biggest I've ever had in my life......"

"I don't want you to appear in front of people like this. Jia Huan nodded and said, "So for the sake of a peaceful life in the town, I did this...... It's not all for you and the Gustin family. ”

"I know, anyway...... Appreciated. Mr. Cotter said, taking out a cash check for half a million dollars from his pocket and placing it on the table, "We thought about it for a long time, and we thought...... We shouldn't ...... this money."

"It's for you, and you take it. Jia Huan shook his head, "Remember, from now on, you are just ordinary people, not some werewolf race." ”
