The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Elijah, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was staring intently at the heroic Pegasus and the dashing female knight in front of him, his mouth wide open enough to fit a fist.

After a long time, he turned to look at Li Shanze in the passenger seat.

Li Shanze sighed, unbuckled his seat belt, and shrugged: "If I say this is a coincidence, would you believe it?"

Then, Li Shanze pushed open the car door, listened to the sound of sirens, and got out of the car.

At this time, Tianma, the female knight and Xia Li had quietly disappeared, leaving only a pile of scrap metal emitting thick smoke and a group of police officers surrounding them.

Li Shanze shook his head.

This was trouble. With such a huge commotion, it was impossible not to alert the upper echelons of this country. Although his portrait and video had not been widely circulated, his true identity as a wanted criminal was likely to be discovered by others...

If I don't handle it well, my life on the run will end here, tsk.

Well, the next step is to calm the police in this religious town, steal a car, and escape overnight?

Li Shanze frantically racked his brains for a solution. Looking at the passersby pouring onto the street, filming something with their phones, he turned up the collar of his windbreaker and lowered the brim of his hat, covering most of his face.

Elijah was still sitting in the car, sweating profusely. He desperately made the sign of the cross on his chest and muttered to himself, "Then I saw the sky open and there was a white horse——"

031 Kate's Countermeasures

For Li Shanze, it was not difficult to guess who the female knight was, especially since Xia Li was still sitting on the horse.

Although Li Shanze knew that Kate Mackenzie was no ordinary person, the grand scene and momentum when she destroyed the Ford Raptor, as well as the tragic scene that made it impossible to tell that it was once a car, still far exceeded Li Shanze's imagination.

Thinking of this, Li Shanze calmed down instead.

It seems this knight is deliberately making things worse, and showing off her immense strength to force me to rely on her. This is probably to further exploit me and make me work for her... Not bad, she has personality, I like it.

Well, let's wait and see who will have the last laugh.

Li Shanze accepted the challenge from the policewoman with great interest.

Anyway, he has already made a soul contract with the devil and is wanted by the whole United States as an ogre. It doesn't matter if he has to deal with this Apocalypse Horseman who seems to have walked out of the myth.

Li Shanze thought to himself. It was hard to tell whether he was calm in the face of danger or simply throwing in the towel because he was too indebted.

However, Li Shanze had no idea that this was just a series of misunderstandings, and it was not a dangerous game planned by the female knight.

In fact, the female police officer, who has been regarded as an imaginary enemy by Li Shanze, now wishes to stay as far away from Li Shanze as possible.

Just because she heard Li Shanze's joke floating out of the car window, Kate abandoned her disguise and displayed incredible strength, defeating the enemy with one blow like a meteor across the sky, but it was only used to deal with a few thieves who stole the car and escaped - it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

This also made Kate unable to deceive herself anymore. It was obvious that she had now become Li Shanze's real slave and had to obey Li Shanze's orders.

What made the female knight even more annoyed was that her attack almost consumed all of her accumulated willpower. After losing the blessing of willpower, her skills were probably no better than Li Shanze's.

According to Kate's estimation, this period of weakness will last at least a month, and she will need to rest for a month before she can recover to her peak.

However, there are loopholes in this master-servant relationship that can be exploited. Although Kate has to obey Li Shanze, as long as she cannot "hear" the orders, she naturally does not need to obey.

Kate figured out the key point in an instant, and she concealed the divine light from herself and Tianma, and then fled the scene at a high speed.

Just as Kate was galloping off, a question came from behind her: "Wait a minute, Kate, where are you taking me?"

Oh, damn, Charlie is still on the horse!

Kate reined in her horse. She had originally wanted to just abandon Charlie by the side of the road and drive away.

However, thinking about the favorable security environment in Fern Town, Kate couldn't believe that this reckless witch lady could find Li Shanze safely on her own.

Kate sighed helplessly.

Although the policewoman's mind was in a mess and she hadn't been able to figure out what had happened, and couldn't figure out which step had gone wrong, causing her noble and sacred self to become such a ridiculous slave of the shameful, insidious, cunning, and despicable ogre, she didn't simply choose to vent her anger on Charlie - she thought it was a trap set by the ogre, and both she and Charlie were victims.

No wonder this bastard crossed most of the United States without being caught. I underestimated him.

Kate forced herself to calm down.

"I need help. I need your help, Charlie."

"Yes. Of course I will help you, Kate." Charlie felt that she owed Kate something, so she said it clearly.

"At this point, we can't deceive ourselves anymore, right?" Kate stared at Charlie and asked.

"Yeah, that's right." Xia Li also became depressed. The fact that Li Shanze was a married man was already enough to make her depressed. Miss Witch didn't want more women to appear and compete with her for her lover.

Especially since this woman was given to Li Shanze by Xia Li herself because of a series of blunders she made, which made Xia Li feel helpless and at a loss.

"But there is one last way, Charlie." Kate gritted her teeth and struggled.

The words came with great difficulty, sweat beading her forehead as she fought against the spell that enslaved her.

"What? What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Xia Li asked repeatedly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"As long as I stay away from the Master, the Master, and Li Shanze, so that he can't order me around, we can live in peace." Kate tried her best not to shout out the word Master, which almost exhausted her strength and made her sweat roll down in this cold night with snowflakes dancing in the north wind.

Although this spell could not restrict her thoughts, it clearly controlled her actions and words.

"Also, I need that." Kate raised her finger with difficulty and pointed at the box in Charlie's hand.

Kate thought she had to stabilize Li Shanze immediately and then escape. After avoiding Li Shanze, she would find a way to get rid of Li Shanze's control.

Moreover, Kate pessimistically believed that since she had fallen into a trap and Li Shanze, the evil and cunning ogre, was plotting endlessly, she probably wouldn't have much time left.

Therefore, she'd better get the blasphemous object in Xia Li's hand. With it, she might be able to buy back a lot of time and possibly get rid of Li Shanze's control.

What? Li gave this to me!

Xia Li subconsciously wanted to object. She was reluctant to hand the gift Li Shanze gave her to someone else.

But when she thought that she was the one who caused this trouble, Charlie bit her lip and was no longer so determined.

"I promise, I won't do anything to it. I won't destroy it or perform a ritual to purify it. I will return it to you in its original state."

Despite her hatred for this blasphemy, Kate still made a firm promise to Charlie.

"Okay, okay!" Charlie handed the box to Kate reluctantly.

Kate sighed, fighting back the urge to purify the profane object with her sacred energy, and secured it to Mickey's saddlebags.

To Kate's surprise, Mickey, who had always been unable to tolerate unclean things touching him, did not show any discomfort this time. He lowered his head and nibbled on the withered grass roots leisurely, as if he was just carrying an ordinary cargo.

This, in turn, made Kate feel irritated and sad: Could it be that I had been desecrated and corrupted by this evil thing? Even Mickey no longer had any reaction to this blasphemy!

This also made Kate feel more anxious.

At this time, Kate's intercom rang: "Dragoon 1-1, this is the command center. The sheriff of Fern Town is looking for you. He wants you to go to the Fern Town police station."

"Yes, Command Center, Dragoon1-1 received, depart immediately, over." Kate replied simply.

After ending the call with the command center, Kate sighed softly and said to Charlie, "Let's go. I'll take you back to find the master, Li Shanze. As a condition of our agreement, you have to cover for me and help me get rid of him."

"Yeah, no problem." Charlie patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you, Kate."

Looking at the witch lady who was so confident, Kate couldn't help but wonder if she had found the wrong person to help.

With a lot of doubts and worries in her heart, the policewoman turned her horse around and galloped towards the police station in Fern Town with Charlie.

Along the way, the two ladies who had barely reached an alliance did not speak, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

Because Charlie and Kate were both preoccupied with their own thoughts, they naturally didn't notice the countless pairs of eyes staring at them through binoculars from afar.

"I withdraw. The treasure has fallen into the hands of the staid Grand Knight. In my opinion, it will never see the light of day again."

A dark shadow let out a long sigh, and then his already blurry figure completely dimmed under the cover of the snowy night, and finally disappeared.

The shadow's departure seemed to mark the beginning of something, and many lurking people left Fern Town one after another.

There were fewer and fewer shadows lurking in the darkness, and gradually, only the last two were left.

"Angie, aren't you leaving?"

"Humph, I worked hard for a month to investigate, and then chased him from Ohio to Pennsylvania in one day, and finally to this terrible small town. I was on the verge of success, but he was kidnapped by the knight like this. I won't accept this!" The woman called Angel almost bit her teeth to pieces, looking very unwilling.

Author's words: Thanks to Silver Thirteen for the reward

032 impact

Anjie's unconvinced grumble resonated with another voice.

"Yes, after all the hard work of tracking down the case, only to end up with this outcome. I'm afraid my employer won't be happy about this."

"Oh? Who hired you?" Angel asked, making a gesture to show who you are.

Anjie didn't know whether the man's standard but old-fashioned British accent was intended to conceal his identity, but she couldn't hear any flaws.

"Oh, my apologies. Please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Guy."

"No problem, Mr. Guy. Who hired you?" Anjie said with a smile.

"Ha, since this deal has already fallen through, I can reveal a little: my employer is from Manhattan."

"There are at least a thousand people in Manhattan who might be interested in this thing. You might as well not tell me." Anjie said unhappily.

"Anyway, I answered your question, now it's your turn. Who hired you?" Guy asked Anjie.

"What a coincidence! My employer is also from Manhattan." Anjie smiled. "Maybe we are hired by the same employer."

"Who said it wasn't? Since it's such a coincidence, do you want to go for a drink together?" Guy made the invitation. He exuded an irresistible aura, very arrogant and tough.

Although he couldn't judge the true strength of the person in front of him, he was able to call out to him, and he knew nothing about him...

Anjie blinked and gave a charming smile. "Ah, I'm sorry, Guy, I'm afraid our tastes are too similar - I like women."

"Ah, then I guess we don't have that much in common, ma'am." Guy's face didn't change at all, and the smile looked like it was pasted on paper.

"Oh, it's my fault." Anjie raised her eyebrows. "I shouldn't have thought that a man who goes by the pseudonym Guy liked women. So—"

Before Anjie could finish, Guy interrupted her: "So, beautiful lady, would you mind buying me a drink?"

This damn bastard is so hard to get rid of! He's just so shameless!

Anjie rolled her eyes in her heart, but a charming smile still hung on her elegant and delicate face.

The so-called "buy me a drink" subtext was "you pick the place." On the one hand, this temporarily relaxed Anjie's tense nerves, but on the other hand, the strong confidence revealed in the words also made her more wary of this guy who suddenly appeared.

After scanning Guy's body but not finding any flaws, Anjie thought it would be better not to quarrel with him for the time being. She also wanted to see what Guy was up to.

So, after a brief pause, Anjie nodded happily: "Why not? Please, I know a place with quite mellow wine. Please follow me."

"My pleasure, ma'am."

The two of them walked quickly through the dilapidated town, but their manners were as elegant as a gentleman and a lady attending a high-society dinner.

…………

Meanwhile, in the palaces of the upper class, where true luxury is present, some people are rude and furious.

On the originally elegant and neat velvet carpet, there were several broken remains of wine bottles lying in a disorderly manner. The mellow wine soaked the carpet, making it look like a pool of spilled blood.

A table that was originally filled with a feast of delicacies was overturned, and no matter how precious the ingredients were, they could not avoid the fate of close contact with the ground.

Everyone who had been invited to the party was politely asked to leave - including the models playing in the pool - but only a man in a colorful tropical shirt and sunglasses was furious.

"What's wrong with that great knight? Why did she suddenly reveal her true identity? Wasn't it agreed that she would disguise herself as a mounted police officer and keep a low profile? Does she have any idea how much resources and connections I've spent to gather so many talented people from the underworld to film my show?"

It turned out that the person who was furious was none other than Cohen, the producer of the show "Hunting Gods".

The big producer was running at full power, just like the central air conditioning in a hotel running at full power on this cold winter snowy night.

He was filled with resentment and kicked a valuable Cuban cigar away. The cigar hit the glass on the top floor of the hotel with a snap. Outside the window was the quiet town of Fern.

"Now, our respected Grand Knight has revealed murderous intent without warning, scaring off more than half of my crew! Many even suspect this is a trap set by the FBI to catch them all in one fell swoop! Even I'm suspected of being an FBI informant!"

Bang! Another plate of caviar was thrown to the ground, and the elegant and beautiful porcelain that held the caviar was turned into powder in the anger of the big producer.

"Contact the FBI Special Affairs Division in Quantico, Virginia! Since it was their Grand Knight who caused this trouble, have them take care of it for me!"

Several assistants who had been silent at first heard the order, and one of them immediately ran away with a cell phone in his arms to carry out the producer's order.

After venting his anger, the producer regained his composure and changed his mind: "No! Wait! Come back! I want to contact Washington directly! Also, contact the Catholic Church for me! I have a small fortune in a trust fund in the Vatican."

At this point, the great producer smiled. "Just imagine, a great knight personally defeating a heretic false god on television, spreading the glory of the Lord."

"I believe that the Pope, with his vast wisdom, would not reject this idea; devout Catholics around the world would not miss the television broadcast; and our respected President would certainly appreciate this program, which can help him soothe voters in these economically struggling times. But how much are the streaming platforms, eager to please the President, willing to pay for the online broadcast rights of this program?"

Thinking of this, the big producer laughed triumphantly, and leaned back casually into the soft and comfortable beach chair.

He pushed down the sunglasses that were originally on his head and put them back on his big nose, while one of his assistants put a cigar into his mouth and lit a lighter.

Another assistant simply gave a simple command into the intercom, and countless waiters rushed in. They were like ants, cleaning up the messy scene in an orderly, efficient, fast and very quiet manner.
