The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

"No, no need." Li Shanze waved his hand.

This woman had already been tortured enough by him, and she had just knelt on the ground for so long that her knees were red. Li Shanze had no intention of continuing to use her for the time being.

So Claudia obediently didn't follow him into the bathroom.

But when Li Shanze finished his shower, he found Claudia waiting outside the bathroom door. Claudia was holding pajamas in her hands, and there were dry slippers neatly placed at the bathroom door.

"Master, perhaps you would like to rest early. The bedroom is over there. I have already made the bed for you—"

"No, I'm not staying here overnight." Li Shanze waved his hand again. Seeing the disappointment and pleading in Claudia's eyes, his heart softened and he added, "Not today. I have something to do tonight."

"Yes, I understand." A hint of relief flashed in Claudia's eyes, and she bowed slightly to Li Shanze.

Then she took the folded clothes of Li Shanze.

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't have any spare clothes for you, but I've written down all the brands and sizes. I'll buy some identical ones and leave them here," she said softly.

Then she squatted down and helped Li Shanze put on his pants.

"Well, okay. If the money is not enough, remember to ask me." Li Shanze said, looking at the marks on her neck where he had pinched her.

"Yes, Master." She responded obediently. She walked around behind him and smoothed his shirt for him.

Her soft breath tickled his neck.

He really wanted to go back and kill this woman once again, to punish her severely and see if she dared to tease him in such an ambiguous way again. However, considering that it was getting late, he suppressed this desire.

Finally, she knelt down and carefully put on his leather shoes.

Looking at the majestic mountains revealed through her untied collar, her serious eyes, and the marks he left on her originally slender and white neck, he opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

Finally, she escorted him out the door and bowed again: "I wish you a safe journey."

He just waved and walked into the elevator.

116 Punishment

Although the snow had melted, the nights in Philadelphia still seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost.

The cold moon hangs hollowly in the dark night sky, too lazy to cast a glance of mercy to the world.

Li Shanze parked the car and frowned as he looked at the silent senator's mansion.

The crystal chandeliers that had illuminated the night were all extinguished, and the place was as quiet as a cemetery.

Li Shanze's heart was in suspense.

He drew his gun and kicked open the heavy-looking door.

When Li Shanze pointed his gun at the darkness of the second-floor corridor, he smelled a scent of death mixed with the scent of iris and copper rust.

Moonlight seeped into Senator Hamilton's bedroom through the Victorian stained glass, cutting Grey, who was curled up on the Persian carpet, into several pieces, as if trying to dismember the girl.

The torn lace curtains were wrapped around her ankles like the camel-hair girdle of John the Baptist.

"Grey? Grey Hamilton?" Li Shanze called her name carefully.

"Ah... Li, you, you're back." Gray's voice sounded hollow.

"Are you okay, Gray? What happened? Is there anything I can help with?" Li Shanze smiled and turned on the bedroom light.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Stimulated by the strong light, Gray narrowed her eyes suddenly.

Li Shanze noticed that her clothes were disheveled and her eyes were red and swollen.

Then, Gray gave Li Shanze a strange smile. Her hand passed over the photo of the family of three, and then she hugged the photo frame tightly in her arms: "It's okay, how could I be in trouble?"

Did something happen to her parents?

Li Shanze frowned.

"I'm trying to find a way to cheer myself up." Gray smiled palely, raised a needle in her hand, and was about to pierce her arm. "I heard this thing works."

boom!

Li Shanze shot the syringe to pieces.

Gray was startled and she shrank back suddenly: "No, don't!"

At this moment, an angry shout came from behind Li Shanze: "Drop your weapons! Put your hands above your collar! Federal Secret Service!"

The Secret Service's flashlight beam suddenly pierced through the stained glass of the Last Supper, pinning Li Shanze's shadow to the wall where Judas was.

A row of black Colt M1911 rifles pointed at Li Shanze, the uninvited guest who kicked open the door.

Li Shanze, gun in hand, broke into the senator's home and even fired a shot. In front of him, the senator's daughter fell to the ground, her clothes disheveled, her eyes red and swollen, her expression broken, and she was holding her chest.

To anyone looking at it, this scene looked like Li Shanze breaking into the room and intending to assault the poor lady.

Li Shanze didn't think that the FBI credentials would be of any use in convincing the Secret Service security personnel at the senator's home.

The Secret Service agent held his pistol intently, aiming at Li Shanze, and said, "Ms. Grey Hamilton, please move to the protected quadrant."

Gray looked at the endless stream of intruders in astonishment. She subconsciously stood up as the Secret Service agent instructed. After a moment, she reacted and explained, "It's okay. Li is my friend. I invited him to my home. Thank you."

"Are you sure you're not under any threat, Ms. Hamilton?" the Secret Service agent asked suspiciously. "That gunshot just now."

Gray forced a smile on her pale face and shook her head: "No, no, he was protecting me."

Li Shanze breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Gray say this. It seemed that she still knew what was right and wrong. She was probably just impulsive just now.

"Protection? Do you mean the intruder is someone else?"

"No, there are no intruders, no, it's just, um, it's just a game between us." Gray said, she even took the initiative to put her arm around Li Shanze, the action was extremely intimate.

After Grey's persuasion, the Secret Service agent left with doubts.

"Uh, what happened, Gray?" Li Shanze considered his words and then spoke as if he had not thought about it at all, still asking directly.

"You shot me with a gun!" Grey changed her friendly attitude in front of the Secret Service agent and frowned.

Li Shanze remained unmoved. "What else? Haven't you seen the tragic drug epidemic in Fern Town? Do you want me to watch my friend inject drugs?"

Li Shanze's speech was very straight-man. When Grey was heartbroken and even ridiculous enough to want to inject drugs after receiving the news of her mother's death, he still tried to reason with her instead of comforting her emotions.

"You shot me with a gun!" Gray repeated angrily.

At this time, Grey didn't look like an elite lawyer at all, but more like an unreasonable little girl trying to act coquettishly.

If Li Shanze hadn't gone to Claudia's place today, Gray's attempt would most likely have succeeded.

But since Li Shanze had already been satisfied by a gentle woman, he had no interest in coaxing the little girl.

Rather, it was Grey's righteous complaint after trying to take drugs - it was normal for a daughter of a senator's family to be willful and capricious - that succeeded in angering Li Shanze.

So Li Shanze sat down at the head of the bed with his arms and legs spread wide, then grabbed Gray who had turned her head away.

Amidst Gray's screams, Li Shanze pressed Gray onto his knees and raised his hand to slap her.

"I'm not just going to shoot you with a gun, I'm also going to teach you a lesson!" Li Shanze roared.

Then, he slapped Gray's butt hard.

Snapped!

This wasn't a flirtatious slap.

Li Shanze attacked with anger, slapping Gray so hard that tears came out. She screamed, "Ah! It hurts! Let me go, you bastard!"

She struggled desperately, but in vain.

Although she was tall, the 1.7-meter-tall young woman was still held down firmly by Li Shanze.

Li Shanze's big hands were like iron clamps, firmly pinning her to her knees, preventing her from struggling free.

"I'll let you take drugs!"

Snapped!

"Let me go, let me go, you bastard, my dad never hit me!"

"I'm teaching you a lesson on behalf of your father!"

Snapped!

Gray struggled frantically. She desperately reached out and pressed the button on the bedside, crying and shouting, "Secret Service! Secret Service! Take this bastard away! Take him away! Someone broke into my house and attacked me!"

The Secret Service agents used binoculars to take in the scene in the bedroom. They looked at each other in silence without responding.

Are we part of your play?

Shooting and spanking, the senator's daughter knows how to have fun...

"I'll let you act like a spoiled brat!"

Snapped!

"Ah! Gently! Gently! Wuuwuwu, gently."

"Is this your first time taking drugs? Tell me!"

Snapped!

"Yes! This is my first time trying it! It's really my first time. I've never done this before. Stop it! Really stop it!"

"Do you still dare to take drugs?"

Snapped!

"Wuwuwu, I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again. Please, don't hit me, okay."

"Did I shoot you?"

"Hit, hit—"

Snapped!

"No! No, no! You were just, just trying to stop me from taking drugs. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please don't hit me anymore, okay? Wuuwuwu!"

After beating Gray until she burst into tears, Li Shanze finally stopped beating her: "What on earth happened that made you want to take drugs?"

"Mom, Mom was murdered! DC's autopsy report said, said Mom died from a blood curse. Wow!"

Gray sobbed and then suddenly burst into tears.

Li Shanze breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could cry. If he couldn't cry like before and even wanted to take drugs, it would be strange if he didn't have problems.

Li Shanze pressed Gray on his knees and beat her violently, firstly to punish her for trying to take drugs, secondly to vent his anger, and thirdly, of course, to make her cry.

Seeing that all three goals had been achieved, Li Shanze stopped slapping.

He picked up Gray, held her in his arms, ruffled her hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, we will help your mother avenge."

Gray's little butt was burning with pain. She subconsciously snuggled into Li Shanze's warm and strong arms, and cried even louder.

Li Shanze hugged the 1.7-meter-tall blonde girl, but he felt like he was hugging a little girl.

Finally, Gray was tired of crying. She gritted her teeth and raised her head: "Yes, revenge, I must help my mother get revenge!"

"So, Mrs. Hamilton's blood curse is—"

"Who else could it be? Immortality technology, it must be immortality technology!" Gray said firmly, "Judges need evidence to make judgments, but revenge doesn't need it!"

117 Coincidence?

"Well, of course." Li Shanze verbally comforted Gray.

Suddenly, Li Shanze began to feel that the development of things was a bit too deliberate.

In just a few days, all developments pointed to this immortality technology, as if they were arranged by some irresistible force.

West Loken/Robert Stroman, the bald chaotic wizard who has the identities of both wife and fiancée, is the security director of Eternal Life Technology.

The famous civil rights activist Calvin Hope and the black police officer Sean are puppets of Eternal Life Technology.

The RV made of special materials that was originally said to have fallen into Calvin Hope's hands now seems to be most likely in the hands of Yongsheng Technology.

Vivian, the virtual saint who is constantly being followed by Aikou, has an offline studio address from Yongsheng Technology.

Miranda Hamilton, the senator's wife, who suddenly died from a blood curse, was firmly believed by Grey to have died at the hands of immortality technology.
