The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Cyrus Morton's hands were shaking, his eyes were shining, and he was staring at his daughter intently.

He wanted to speak, but his lips seemed to be rusted together by the cold winter.

He snapped his fingers reluctantly, and an iris flower, inappropriately against the season, sprang up from the ground and appeared in front of Jennifer.

"Jane, your favorite, Iris." Cyrus Morton called his daughter's nickname and said tremblingly, "Do you remember me, Jane? I'm your father!"

"Dad?" Jennifer tilted her head and asked tentatively.

Cyrus Morton nodded happily. "Yes, yes, I am the father! Jane!"

However, the touching scene of father-daughter reunion ends here.

Because Jennifer let out a deafening roar.

"Old man! You messed up everything! My set! My trust fund! I even let Senator Hamilton get his attention! You have to pay! Pay! Got it!"

Jennifer roared confidently.

When father and daughter reunited more than ten years later, the first thing Jennifer did was to ask her biological father to give her gold coins.

Facing Jennifer's laughter and laughter, Li Shanze covered his face. He really felt a little sympathy for Cyrus Morton.

I'm sorry, the training is not yet in place, and this bitch is not polite. Please forgive me.

Li Shanze almost blurted out.

Fortunately, Kate pinched Li Shanze at the right time and stopped him from saying anything.

Unexpectedly, Cyrus Morton was particularly impressed by this. He said enthusiastically, "I'm here to resolve this matter, Jane! Don't worry, I've kidnapped the heir of the Drummond family! They're the richest family in Philadelphia! You can ask for any amount you want!"

So you two can be said to be like father, like daughter. No wonder Jennifer is so abstract. You, as a father, are so unreasonable!

The little bit of sympathy Li Shanze had felt for Cyrus Morton completely disappeared.

Damn it, you old man, you just keep bragging in front of your daughter!

The daughter who was laughed at for being filial and having her gold coins exploded was simply asking for it!

253 Jennifer's Politeness

Even though Cyrus Morton had started boasting and making promises, his leaky little jacket still didn't appreciate it.

"Hmph, old man, you only know how to brag! Your student, William Butner, is useless at the critical moment!" Jennifer said angrily.

Cyrus Morton was actually quite disappointed with his daughter's reaction.

In Morton's opinion, even though both father and daughter were in Philadelphia, this was a reunion after nearly twenty years of separation.

However, Jennifer's rude and impolite words and domineering attitude made Morton feel no emotion of reunion.

After more than ten years of neglect of education, my originally well-behaved and lovely daughter has become so perverse and violent?

Cyrus Morton felt sad and angry at the same time.

This anger was not directed at his daughter, but he naturally blamed the Drummond family for forcing him and his daughter to be separated.

But at this time, Li Shanze couldn't bear to listen anymore.

It’s not that Li Shanze sympathizes with Cyrus Morton, but mainly because he is worried that Jennifer will let the cat out of the bag.

What's a critical moment? If you keep talking, won't it be revealed? Will it reveal your true job?

Although Li Shanze was not very afraid of wizards, he did not want to face an angry old father.

So Li Shanze coughed dryly and waved to Jennifer: "Jennifer, come here."

Jennifer was as violent as a lion when facing her father who was accommodating and understanding to her.

But when facing Li Shanze, who did not treat her as a human being, she suddenly became obedient and docile.

She didn't even dare to take big steps, and moved obediently to Li Shanze's side.

"Master... Li, what's wrong?" Fortunately, Jennifer was not stupid enough. Facing Li Shanze's eyes, she changed her words in time and asked softly.

Faced with such a strong contrast with Jennifer, Li Shanze began to feel a little sympathy for Cyrus Morton.

However, Cyrus Morton had a completely different understanding of Jennifer's behavior than Li Shanze.

It turns out that Jane is actually quite polite and well-behaved with outsiders! It seems my precious daughter hasn't been completely corrupted!

Morton thought with great relief.

No, no, no, your daughter's temper couldn't be any worse. She was just trained to be extra nice to me.

If Li Shanze could hear Morton's thoughts, he would probably complain like this.

Unfortunately, Li Shanze didn't know any way to read minds, and Cyrus Morton's thoughts continued to go astray.

Jane's attitude towards me is so bad. It turns out that she is still resentful of me for abandoning her and not being able to see her for more than ten years!

I left Jane such a rich fortune, and yet she dresses so simply. What a good daughter!

This is enough to prove that Jane is not short of money at all! She is just venting her grievances and anger to me!

She was angry with me, which showed that she had me as her father in her heart. And that Li was just an outsider! That's why she was so polite to Li and treated him with courtesy!

Cyrus Morton felt very relieved when he thought that he was the one who was treated specially by his daughter.

Even if my daughter's attitude is a little bad, it is not something difficult to accept.

Even when his daughter was very close to the man and whispered to each other, it didn't seem so unpleasant anymore.

Morton even smiled, looking at his daughter with the eyes of a kind old father.

Li Shanze was whispering instructions to Jennifer.

"Don't reveal our true relationship to your father. Do you understand? In front of your father, we are just friends, okay?"

"Why... yes, Master."

Jennifer subconsciously wanted to ask why—perhaps it was because her refusal personality took over when facing her father.

However, she immediately realized that she was now listening to her master's instructions, so she agreed obediently without hesitation.

"Also, be polite when talking to your father. Don't be so aggressive. After all, he is your father." Li Shanze couldn't help but speak up for Cyrus Morton.

In Li Shanze's opinion, apart from the fact that he didn't understand why Cyrus Morton couldn't see his daughter for more than ten years, in other aspects, the path Morton arranged for Jennifer was already the best he could do.

Morton arranged for Jennifer's studies at Columbia University and a job at CBS, gave her a bootlicker fiancé, and left her a family trust fund and a cash cow reality show.

It can be said that if Morton was really unable to take care of his daughter due to force majeure, then he had tried his best to shoulder his father's responsibilities.

However, when it comes to her biological father, Jennifer seems to have a rebellious phase again. She subconsciously retorts, "Why? I want to make that old guy mad to death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing. This was her master, not that cowardly and incompetent biological father.

Jennifer's face changed and she was terrified, fearing that her master would punish her.

Perhaps because her father was absent during Jennifer's growth, she never thought that he could provide protection from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, Li Shanze was in a good mood and did not take Jennifer's retort to heart.

Li Shanze said to Jennifer in a way that Jennifer could understand, "Don't you want financial compensation? You really pissed Mr. Morton off. Where are you going to get the financial compensation?"

"Oh, yes! Lord...you are right!"

After being lectured by Li Shanze, Jennifer returned to Morton. This time, she spoke more politely and appeared more courteous.

But Cyrus Morton was not happy.

I don’t know what the bad boy surnamed Li muttered to Jane, and she suddenly became so distant!

Then the old wizard said loudly: "Jane, we are father and daughter. There is no need to be so polite and unfamiliar when talking to each other. It is fine to talk like we did just now."

Morton spoke loudly, naturally for Li Shanze to hear - Don't meddle in our father-daughter affairs!

Of course, Jennifer wanted to continue to speak ill of Morton, but with her master's orders in front of her, she subconsciously looked at Li Shanze, wanting to receive further instructions from her master.

Morton was even more upset now. Why are you looking at that brat?

"Come on, Jane, let's go to a quiet place and have a good chat!" Morton took his daughter away.

Li Shanze didn't have any extra thoughts. He just couldn't stand Jennifer's bad attitude out of traditional family values, so he casually gave her a warning.

But since you, an old man, like to be scolded and are born with a mean streak, then just be happy. If you like to be a mean person, then go ahead.

So when Li Shanze faced Jennifer's inquiring gaze, he just nodded casually.

Jennifer felt relieved after receiving the order from her master. She went all out: "Alright! Old man! Don't pull me! I can walk by myself!"

That’s right, my daughter who is not a stranger to me is back!

Morton's face lit up suddenly.

After Jennifer released her anger towards her biological father, she suddenly felt refreshed and a smile appeared on her face.

The atmosphere between this abstract father and daughter seemed somewhat harmonious with the smiles on their faces.

"I really have nothing better to do than to meddle in other people's business. They are indeed father and daughter. If they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same house."

Li Shanze looked at the happy father and daughter and laughed out of anger again.

"So, master, what should we do with this guy? Kill him now?" Kate pointed at Alex Drummond, who was covered in blood, with his limbs twisted and already in a coma due to the pain.

Before Li Shanze could speak, Xia Li's voice rang out as she approached: "No, not now."

Kate frowned subconsciously and asked, "Why?"

Xia Li's expression was calm. "I feel his soul is suppressing or sealing something. After killing him, his body will most likely be taken over by that sealed thing."

"Until we find out what that is, I suggest we don't act rashly."

The witch lady and the great knight looked at each other, and countless swords and sabers flashed in their eyes.

But Kate didn't say anything else, just snorted.

It seemed that Kate agreed with Charlie's statement.

Charlie seemed a little surprised that Kate didn't continue to argue, but she calmly gave up the idea of ​​pressing the victory.

Oh, this cunning woman, doesn't she want to appear to be a unreasonable woman in front of Li?

Kate felt a little regretful when she saw that Charlie did not continue to pursue.

Tsk, this cunning woman actually gave up the opportunity to press on and win, just to pretend to be sensible in front of Li?

What a bitch! x2

The two women made the same evaluation of each other in their hearts.

"It seems that the long-awaited good time of reminiscing between this father and daughter is coming to an end." Li Shanze seemed to be completely unaware of the open and covert infighting between the two women.

He looked at Jennifer, who was furious, and Cyrus Morton, who was trying to force a smile, and continued.

"I believe that no one understands what Alex's soul is suppressing better than the Drummond family's witchcraft consultant."

254 Family History

Although Cyrus Morton still wanted to be alone with his daughter for a while, Jennifer would not go against Li Shanze's wishes.

So the wizard could only put on a sour face and said lazily: "What? You ask what is suppressed in Alex's soul? Why are you asking this?"

"Sir Morton." Charlie was very humble and showed great respect to the senior wizard.

"Well, I sense that within Alex's soul resides a deep evil, seemingly sealed within him. I'm worried that killing Alex will unleash this deep evil."

Morton glanced at Charlie lazily, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Moonlight bottle? Are you Barnum's student?" Morton asked coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Morton, my mentor is the great wizard Barnum." Charlie's tone remained respectful.

Morton sneered, "Oh, your teacher tricked me into signing a contract with the Drummond family, causing me so much trouble—"

How dare you speak to the mistress like that? What if she takes revenge on me?

Jennifer roared, "Old man! Just answer the questions you're asked!"

The muscles on Morton's face twitched visibly.
