I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 159 ICE Agent Wayne

While the four girls were locked in the dark cabin of the yacht, they heard with their own ears what was happening outside.

First, a group of unidentified people arrived and killed the guards. Then, quite a while later, the Seattle Police Department officers arrived.

They also heard the first wave of militants saying things like "protect the girl".

Therefore, they all understood that there were actually two groups of people who saved them.

Their previous experience hosting important figures like congressmen on the cruise ship also made them realize that the Seattle Police Department was not as simple as it seemed.

Even their application for witness protection was never approved. The Seattle Police Department treated them as witnesses in ordinary cases and even allowed them to live anywhere they wanted.

If it weren't for Officer Eileen secretly helping them, these girls knew they might not survive the winter.

That's why, when Eileen brought them here and they met Isabella and Helena in the shelter, and heard the truth from them, they finally felt relieved.

I know I won't die in vain.

The saint that Isabella and Helena told them filled their hearts with a sense of sacred gratitude.

Like being grateful to a great savior.

Wayne smiled calmly and said:

"You are all good girls. From now on, you will live here with Helena and Isabella."

Even though the system has already determined that the side quest called "The Cannibal" has been completed.

But Wayne's heart was finally at ease when he had actually settled the four girls in the shelter.

After all, only he knew that José and his gang represented only one link in a huge cannibalistic network.

Even after the destruction of the Jose gang, the real masterminds behind it all, the "big shots" involved in cannibalism, are still at large.

In their eyes, these four girls were four ticking time bombs.

No one knows what else someone might find on these four girls.

The only reason these people are hesitant to act right now is because the case remains a hot topic.

If Wayne doesn't make them "invisible," these four girls will surely die once the case loses its momentum; they will definitely be silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes.

As undocumented Latino immigrants from Mexico, and having experienced previous human trafficking cases, these four girls never trusted the government and naturally considered the possibility of being silenced.

At this moment, their gratitude towards Wayne had reached its peak.

Upon hearing Wayne's words, they couldn't help but burst into tears, saying:

"Thank you for your kindness, Saint..."

"God bless you, you are His representative on earth..."

"My grandmother once said that the Messiah would return to earth, and now I finally believe her prophecy..."

As they spoke, the four girls crawled forward on their knees, came to Wayne, and kissed the ring on his finger to express their gratitude.

Tears streamed down their faces as they were overcome with emotion.

Even after being rescued by the police, they have never relaxed.

Only now have I truly let go of the shackles in my heart and been able to express myself authentically.

It was a kind of hysteria born from the brink of death.

The two girls almost fainted from being so excited.

Wayne sighed and instantly activated the [Ring of Messiah].

[Blessing]

【Shocking】

The four girls' mental strength was temporarily boosted by one point at the same time, and they recovered from their frenzied state through the [Stunning Spirit] effect.

The four girls were all startled, and then a resolute light shone in their eyes.

Several words flashed above their heads.

Loyalty: Fanatic

Unexpectedly, these four girls became Wayne's fanatical followers.

It's unclear whether it was the immense psychological impact of this life-or-death situation, or the effective indoctrination they received from Isabella and Helena.

The girl in the lead looked at Wayne with a determined gaze and said:

"Sir, we...we want to learn the art of killing with Isabella."

"We've figured it out. We'll fight for you for the rest of our lives. This is our only way out."

The other three also nodded slightly.

They realized they were caught up in a case that was like a black hole, and if they left Wayne, they would only face death.

Moreover, having experienced the darkness of being treated as food, they no longer wanted to be slaughtered, but instead wanted to have their own power.

As it happened, Isabella mentioned that Mr. Wayne had some powerful warriors under his command, and that Isabella herself was even learning to shoot.

They wanted to have their own power and no longer wanted to be at the mercy of others, so they had no choice but to accept Wayne's protection!

If danger comes, they also want to be the protectors of the saints.

Wayne nodded and said:

"Since you've made up your minds, go find old Will to get your guns, then go find Rhodes; he'll teach you."

The four girls, having received Wayne's approval, immediately went off happily.

Today marks the beginning of their rebirth.

They are to become Mr. Saint's fighting angels!

Seeing the four girls playing happily with Isabella and the others, the dozens of fanatics in the underground shelter also showed relieved smiles.

They all knew about the hellish journey these girls had gone through, and therefore felt great sympathy for them.

They were equally grateful that Mr. Saint had managed to save the girls.

It was as if they themselves were the ones who were saving people.

This is a kind of spiritual redemption.

"Will, tomorrow is Christmas Eve. In addition to broth and bread, prepare some milk and fruit tomorrow, more than usual, to distribute to everyone."

"Also, I want to tell everyone that I will be performing an exorcism for you all tomorrow, free of charge."

Wayne gave instructions to old Will and the others.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the shelter smiled with gratitude.

For homeless people, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are usually the hardest times to get through.

The main source of pain for many people is the emptiness and loneliness in their hearts, as well as the uncertainty about the future.

They might even have to rely on supplements to alleviate their loneliness and depression, and if they're not careful, they can easily overdose and develop endocrine disorders, making it difficult to survive this beautiful holiday.

But now that I'm following Wayne, everything is naturally different.

They not only had a group of saints to support each other, but they could also help others.

The significance, especially the spiritual value, contained within this is incomparable to what was mentioned earlier.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, on Saint Street, decorations such as confetti and colorful balls appeared on the tents of the homeless, creating a festive atmosphere.

The saints set up the alms pots again, still containing two pots of beef, two pots of mutton, and free flatbread.

The only difference this time is that there are also some fresh fruits and milk.

Almost all the homeless people from the surrounding neighborhoods came to this street.

Meanwhile, seemingly because of the large number of people on this street, two charitable organizations also moved their food stalls, which were distributing food nearing its expiration date, to this street as well.

David and Mike even brought over a Christmas tree and placed it next to Wayne's tent on the street.

The atmosphere was filled with joy and celebration.

The name "Silent Night" comes from the angelic declaration in the scriptures, "Peace on earth to those on whom his favor rests," and its core meaning is to commemorate the sacred vigil on the night before the birth of Jesus.

This marks the official start of Christmas, similar to Chinese New Year's Eve in the East.

Traditionally, mainstream families in Europe and America gather together on Christmas Eve to share a traditional feast, such as turkey, and exchange gifts and decorate the Christmas tree.

Looking at the not-so-large Christmas tree, everyone felt relieved and happy.

For the poor from the lower-income communities and the homeless on this street, the Christmas tree is never important; what matters is the saints in the tent beneath it.

Wayne sat upright in the tent, once again performing exorcisms on the patients who had lined up.

I don't know if it's because of the joy of Christmas approaching, but although I announced today that I would be offering free exorcisms, there weren't many patients who actually came.

There were only a dozen or so people in total.

Most of these people had colds or fevers, while the rest were injured or had chronic illnesses, none of which were particularly serious.

Wayne quickly finished "exorcising" the twelve patients, saying:

"Next."

The tent flap was lifted, and a man wearing a mask and sunglasses hesitated before stepping into the tent.

Upon seeing the other person, Wayne said gently:

"Kevin, my friend, is there anything I can help you with?"

The newcomer was Kevin, the ICE operations team leader.

Upon hearing Wayne recognize him so readily, Kevin trembled and uttered:

"My God... Mr. Wayne, can you really predict the future?"

He believed his disguise was quite convincing; even his wife, Tracy, wouldn't recognize him at first glance.

Unexpectedly, Wayne recognized him the moment he stepped into the tent.

This further increased his confidence in Wayne.

Before Wayne could say anything, Kevin said urgently:

"Mr. Wayne, I would like to ask you to... to exorcise the evil spirit from me..."

Wayne asked calmly:

"So, Kevin, how did the evil spirit take over your body?"

Kevin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Then, gritting his teeth, he said:

"Sir, it's...it's like this...I've been finding it...difficult to exercise my rights as a man lately..."

He then pleaded with Wayne:

"Sir, if you can help me... help me solve this problem, I can promise you... many things..."

Wayne said calmly:

"Poor Kevin, bow your head."

Kevin immediately lowered his head obediently.

Immediately afterwards, he felt Wayne's palm press on the top of his head, and a warm current suddenly surged from Wayne's palm into his heart.

Kevin felt as if his heart was soaking in a hot spring; he had never felt so comfortable.

He let out a comfortable groan.

Wayne abruptly pulled his hand away, and for a moment he involuntarily wanted to find that feeling again, but he only saw Wayne's calm face.

That's...that's it?

Kevin was momentarily incredulous, wondering if Wayne was a fraud.

Will Tracy be disappointed again? Oh, Tracy…

The moment his wife's face appeared in his mind, Kevin immediately felt that the blue pill he had taken that morning seemed to be working, and a burning sensation appeared in his lower abdomen.

Just thinking about what my wife looks like is enough!

He's recovered!

Kevin was overwhelmed with excitement. He looked at Wayne and said in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Wayne, thank you... thank you so much... you have no idea how important this is to me and my family..."

"I...I really don't know how to repay you..."

The other party didn't want money, and was known as a saint, so I had nothing to repay them with.

However, Kevin desperately wanted to bind the other party to himself, and his mind raced with ideas.

Then he suddenly remembered something and said to Wayne:

"I'd like to invite you to join ICE!"
