American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 184 Bad Seed
Wade's style is really wild!

"what's going on?"

"Boss, it's like this! I've saved up some money, and I'm thinking selling medicine isn't a long-term solution. Besides, my cousin Seth has already run away, so I started thinking about other ways to make money. Then, after being introduced to the warehouse gambling scene, I got into it."

Betting on warehouses is a very unique way to make money in America.

There are many warehouse rental companies in America that specialize in storing personal belongings.

If the user fails to continue paying the warehouse rent, the warehouse leasing company has the right to auction the other party's warehouse.

The warehouse leasing company will open the warehouse to allow customers interested in auctioning to take a look at the warehouse, and then let the customers start bidding.

Occasionally, someone would find antiques or gold in a warehouse and become rich overnight, which attracted many people to join in.

But this is ultimately a gamble, and the risk is quite high.

Most warehouses are actually filled with miscellaneous items that are of little value. Many people lose all their money when gambling with warehouses.

After all, the truly valuable warehouses are taken away by the warehouse leasing companies themselves, and those that fall into the gambling warehouse market are basically worthless warehouses.

Betting on warehouses is actually a kind of bargain hunting behavior.

“Where are you betting on the warehouse?”

“Right here in Austin.”

"Okay, I'm going to Austin this weekend, I'll come find you then."

Roy thought Wade was a good guy, so he decided to help him.

Hearing this, Wade showed a surprised expression.

"Boss, if there's any harvest, I'll give you a share!"

Roy shrugged. He didn't expect Wade to find anything valuable.

But you can't say for sure, Wade is pretty lucky.

After school, Roy took Jennifer, Neddy, and Emma home as usual, and then went to find the Parkers.

Through Roy's introduction, Samantha found a pretty good house and was ready to move in.

As for the transfer, everything has been arranged. Tomorrow Ashley will become Roy's new classmate, and Mike will become Emma's classmate.

Roy accompanied Samantha to visit her new home and found that the new home was not small and was fully furnished, so one could almost move in with just their luggage.

"This house looks nice! How much is it?"

“Only $10,000!”

It's so cheap! Could it be a haunted house?

Roy looked at Samantha and found that her face was full of fatigue. It seemed not a good time to tell her about this.

So he changed his words temporarily when the words were on the tip of his tongue.

"What did the police say?"

"I've already submitted my resume to Sheriff Hughes. According to him, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Another sheriff, George, is about to retire, so Falls Town really needs a young new sheriff, and Samantha can be said to be the right person at the right time.

"That's good! How's Elleza doing?"

"Except for her strange eating habits, Elleza is just like a child most of the time. She's pretty easy to take care of."

As she was speaking, Ellessa seemed to hear Roy's voice and walked out of the room. When she saw Roy, her eyes immediately darted over to him.

"Dad, I'm hungry, food!"

"Okay, okay, I'll feed you now. Samantha, can you lend me a room?"

One of the most important things that Roy did when he came to Samantha this time was to feed Elleisa. After borrowing a room from Samantha, he spent more than an hour making baby milkshake and finally fed Elleisa.

It doesn't seem like this is a good idea to continue. It takes several hours to feed Elleisa every time. It's such a waste of time.

Roy thought he had to find a way to wean Ellessa off the baby shake, just like weaning a child off breast milk. The question was, what could he use to replace the baby shake?
This information is not even recorded in the Key of Solomon, so it seems I can only ask Elizabeth later.

Back at his house, Roy made some more food for Emma, ​​real food, not baby shake.

At the dinner table, Roy told Emma about seeing a psychiatrist.

Although she concealed it very well, Roy still saw the nervousness on Emma's face.

"I, I think I'm very normal and don't need to see a psychiatrist."

"Emma, ​​don't be afraid. The psychiatrist won't give you an injection. He'll just have a casual chat with you."

Emma's hands were clenched into fists under the table, and the veins on her fists bulged, showing the little girl's inner unrest.

"Brother Roy, actually my father hired a psychiatrist for me, and that doctor said I'm perfectly normal."

Hearing this, Roy raised his head and looked into Emma's eyes.

"Is what you said true?"

Emma opened her mouth, wanting to answer that it was true, but under Roy's oppressive gaze, she said nothing.

Before coming here, Emma's father did hire a psychiatrist for her, but that psychiatrist was actually the same person as her, so he took the initiative to cover up for her.

(In the 2018 version of "The Bad Seed", the psychiatrist is played by the actor of the old version of "The Bad Seed". Yes, the movie "The Bad Seed" is a remake.)
"That shouldn't be the case. I'll take you to Austin this weekend. By the way, what's going on between you and Jennifer?"

Roy then prepared to mediate between Lilith and Emma.

Emma bit her lip, finally seeming to show a hint of personal emotion.

"I don't like her, she always bullies me!"

"Jennifer has already told me about this. She just wants to help you."

Emma shook her head.

"I don't need help!"

It seems that the conflict between Emma and Lilith cannot be resolved in the short term. Perhaps we can find a time for Lilith to confess to Emma.

But this is only after seeing a psychiatrist.

The atmosphere at the table became rather depressing. After Emma finished her dinner, she retreated to her room.

Roy shook his head. Even he, the old sea king, couldn't understand the complicated thoughts in Emma's head. It would be better to leave this difficult problem to a psychiatrist.

The next day during class, Elizabeth led Ashley into the classroom.

"Class, there's a new student here! Ashley, introduce yourself."

Ashley showed no sign of stage fright and introduced herself confidently.

"Hi everyone, my name is Ashley Parker. I originally lived in Nevada and recently moved to the Falls."

With her pretty face and hot body, Ashley instantly won the favor of most boys in the class, and many boys even whistled at her.

Well, the representative figure is Mr. Wade, who does not want to reveal his name.

"Wow! I feel like I'm in love all over again!"

However, girls generally have a bad impression of Ashley, probably because Ashley's appearance is too aggressive compared to Nancy.

"Ashley, please find an empty seat for yourself."

The rebellious girl Ashley did not listen to Elizabeth and find an empty seat, but walked straight to Roy - Jennifer who was next to him.

"Can you give me this seat?" Jennifer noticed Ashley glanced in Roy's direction and immediately understood her intention, so she refused without hesitation.

"No."

Ashley was not discouraged. She walked to Needy on the other side of Roy and wanted to change places with her.

Needy, who was a little socially anxious, was embarrassed to refuse, so Jennifer answered for her.

"She won't change seats with you! Mr. Parker, the teacher asked you to find an empty seat, don't you understand?"

Ashley glared at Jennifer.

"none of your business!"

As the queen of the campus, Jennifer naturally would not be intimidated and glared back.

Roy, who was sitting in the middle, felt speechless and quickly stood up to stop the staring.

"Ahem! Ashley, we're in class now, please find a seat and sit down."

Roy spoke, and Ashley didn't say anything else.

But a rebellious girl is a rebellious girl. She simply moved the empty table and chair behind Roy.

Roy was actually sitting in the last row, which meant that Ashley had to add another row to sit near Roy.

This behavior seemed to illustrate Ashley's thoughts, making the boys in the class sad again.

"Boss, please give me a way out! I don't want to be unable to find a female companion for the graduation party!"

This statement expressed the thoughts of many boys.

Graduation party is the most important party for all school students. Many school students will regard this party as a war. It is very embarrassing if they don’t have a female companion at the party.

Roy felt helpless, blaming himself for being too charming. The girls in his class would rather be single than look for other boys.

"Shut up, Wade!"

"Okay, students, let's officially start the class now."

Elizabeth looked at the students with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the little drama that had happened before.

Jennifer, however, discovered some clues from Roy's address just now. When she looked at Ashley behind Roy, the other party immediately responded with a provocative look.

Roy saw the whole scene and felt that his future campus life would not be very comfortable.

Why on earth had he brought the Parkers to Falls Town? It felt like he had shot himself in the foot!

As soon as the bell rang, Jennifer stood up and took Roy's hand.

"Roy, I want to talk to you!"

However, Ashley also grabbed Roy's other hand from behind.

"Roy, I want to talk to you too!"

Why are you trying to show off right from the start?
"If you want to talk, then come together! Needy, you come too!"

Roy didn't want to play any Shura Field games, so he just called everyone over and prepared to be frank with them.

The four of them came to the oak forest near the Oak School. It was very secluded here with a very good view, which ensured that they would not be eavesdropped.

"Roy, what's wrong with this woman?"

Jennifer was the first to attack, pointing at Ashley with an ugly expression.

"Jennifer, I think I told you a few days ago that Ashley is the family I rescued on the road. They moved to Falls Town."

Jennifer recalled that Roy had indeed mentioned such a family, but he did not say that the family had a beautiful daughter.

Then Ashley pointed at Jennifer and Needy as well.

"Roy, what about the two of them?"

"Jennifer Morgan and Neddy Lesnicki are officially my girlfriends."

Roy directly confessed the identities of the two.

Jennifer and Needy were quite happy to hear Roy admit that they were officially his girlfriend, but it was not appropriate to smile in this situation, so they had to hold it back.

Ashley didn't expect Roy to admit it directly. She initially thought that Roy would try to cover it up, which made the rebellious girl a little sad.

"They are your girlfriends, so what should I do?"

Roy looked at Ashley in surprise. He seemed to have done nothing to her, so why did she have such an idea?

"Ashley, I already admitted on the road that I have many girlfriends. Have you forgotten? I have joined the Mormon Church and must abide by the polygamy vow. If you can't accept it, we can only be ordinary friends."

Ashley had tears in her eyes and seemed to find it hard to accept the fact. She probably still held on to the fantasy of being able to capture Roy's heart and have him all to herself.

But facts will prove that even if Ashley can capture Roy's heart, she cannot capture Roy's body.

With Roy's current physical condition, if a normal human woman were to deal with him alone, she would die!

For a moment, the oak forest became silent.

In the end, it was the kind-hearted Needy who walked up to Ashley and wanted to comfort her.

But Ashley wiped her red eyes, left a few words, and turned to flee.

"Humph! Roy, I won't give up!"

This girl is really stubborn.

Roy scratched his head and looked at Jennifer and Needy, looking a little embarrassed.

Needy was fine, her expression didn't change much, but Jennifer had her arms crossed over her chest and looked a little unhappy.

"This guy is so rude!"

Apparently, Jennifer had a terrible impression of Ashley.

At this time, Nidi started to act as a peacemaker.

"I think this may have something to do with Ashley's family. Roy, does Ashley come from a single-parent family?"

"Yes, Ashley lost her father at a young age."

After Roy said this, Jennifer's eyes changed a little. She also lost her parents when she was very young, so she always acted very cold.

This is actually a self-protection shell, similar to the rebelliousness shown by Ashley.

However, it is impossible for Jennifer to change her attitude immediately after scolding someone, otherwise where would she put her face as the queen of campus!
At this time, Needy took the initiative to step forward.

"Roy, let me have a good talk with Ashley!"

Roy looked at Needy in surprise. He didn't expect that Needy, who usually had social anxiety, would want to take the initiative to socialize with strangers.

"Is everything all right, Needy?"

Needy nodded firmly, and it was obvious that she didn't stand up on impulse.

"I want to try it!"

"Then please."

The small incident seemed to have come to an end for the time being, but Ashley's attitude showed that things were not over yet.
