The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Li Shanze noticed that Kate's way of addressing Loganfield had become a respectful title, as if he had not been excommunicated by the Pope.

"Riding a motorcycle? I remember that Philadelphia to Boston is nearly 500 kilometers. How can a motorcycle be so fast?" Li Shanze retorted subconsciously.

As soon as he said this, Li Shanze realized that in this world where supernatural powers exist, his common sense was not so useful.

"Could it be that?"

Kate nodded slowly. "It seems I'm even more conservative than that lord. I chose the unicorn as the Grand Knight's mount, while Lord Loganfield's mount is that motorcycle."

So the Grand Knight of the Church can now ride a motorcycle? Li Shanze thinks the Catholic Church is quite progressive.

Kate turned on her phone and checked the time.

"It has been two and a half hours since Mr. Loganfield left the village. If I ride Mickey at full speed, two hours will be enough to cover a distance of 500 kilometers," Kate explained.

"It seems that the Massachusetts State Police can't catch up with him." Li Shanze said with a smile.

"But I'm afraid I'll have a lot of paperwork to fill out and countless conversations to deal with." Kate sighed.

Li Shanze nodded, thinking that Kate's sigh was understandable.

After all, it was a Catholic knight who was excommunicated who killed the Catholic Archbishop Emeritus. Before the incident, Kate met the excommunicated knight and spoke with the Archbishop Emeritus on the phone.

It would be difficult for Kate to clear herself of this matter. This is a big problem.

"I thought Mr. Loganfield would fly directly to Rome." Kate sighed again. "I had originally planned to go there in person and execute Paul Fitzgerald in the name of the Church."

Kate's words were full of regret.

So what you sighed about was not doing it yourself?

Li Shanze was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Jennifer raised her hands and was trying to apply for the speech.

"What do you want to say?" Li Shanze asked curiously.

"Master! That's two hundred and fifty thousand dollars! Let's call the Massachusetts State Police to claim the reward!" Jennifer said excitedly.

Li Shanze took a deep breath.

At this point, Li Shanze actually had some admiration for Jennifer.

He believed that Jennifer actually had a full grasp of the art of language. As long as she opened her mouth, she could always make Li Shanze laugh with her stupidity.

"Don't forget, he's your employee. Are you going to admit that one of your employees murdered a cardinal of the Catholic Church? How much civil compensation are you going to pay?" Li Shanze patted Jennifer's face coldly, "Shut up, idiot!"

It's useless to tell someone like Jennifer that you shouldn't betray your friends. Just tell her that you will have to pay compensation if you tell others, and she will definitely keep her mouth shut.

Sure enough, Li Shanze's words "awakened Jennifer from her dream". Not only did she show an expression of sudden enlightenment, but she also looked a little scared.

This kind of first-rate idiot may not be very destructive, but she is definitely very difficult to guard against because she has a problem with her brain and always has sudden attacks of serious illness, messing things up from angles that normal people can't imagine.

"Tie her up for me." Li Shanze turned to Kate fiercely, "If this bitch causes any trouble, I'll give you a good beating."

Kate couldn't help but look at Jennifer with a new respect - she had been fighting openly and secretly with all kinds of bizarre criminals with supernatural powers for several years. Even the experienced FBI agents had never seen someone as bizarre as Jennifer.

"Well, don't worry. I will educate her well, master." Kate promised solemnly.

Li Shanze stopped paying attention to Jennifer and continued to worry about the old knight: "Do you think Loganfield can successfully buy a ticket to Rome?"

"This little difficulty is nothing to the Great Knight." Kate smiled. "If you don't believe me, listen to the radio. You can hear the police's confusion and weakness from the radio."

After that, Kate turned on the radio again.

However, what came out of the radio was not news, but a voice that was very familiar to Li Shanze.

The person giving the impassioned speech was Grey's father, Senator Kurt Hamilton of Pennsylvania.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the brutal murder in Boston not only blasphemed the glory of God, but also ignited the long-silent truth in this country - 300 million Americans are being strangled by the voodoo hand of darkness!"

"Calvin Hope, the social activist who was previously pushed out to challenge me, was exposed by the righteous, resourceful, and brave FBI agents as a puppet of black magic!"

Senator Hamilton's voice suddenly choked up at this point.

"And my beloved wife, Miranda, tragically passed away in Washington a few days ago! The medical examiner's autopsy report stated that she died from a black witchcraft called the blood plague!"

"I think the wizard who is secretly controlling this dark magic is hiding in a campaign office right now."

Senator Hamilton's tone was low and subdued.

"Citizens of America, these dark wizards have infiltrated every aspect of the Federation, and our great democracy is in jeopardy!"

the Senator roared.

"Now, Massachusetts police are saying a beloved veteran actor is mentally ill and committed a crime on his own? Ridiculous!"

“I have retrieved data from the Amish set via Google Satellite, but found that the satellite signal is being severely interfered with!”

"Anyone with common sense would know that this is exactly the kind of interference that witchcraft is causing to optical satellites!"

"Therefore, I boldly infer that the show 'Amish' is nothing more than an inhumane testing ground for witches to conduct human experiments! That popular old actor is nothing more than a poor victim of black magic!"

Having said that, the senator roared loudly, and his tone became more and more passionate.

"They murdered my eldest son more than a decade ago, and now they want to threaten me and my daughter by murdering my beloved wife."

"But they've got the wrong guy! I will never give in to evil!"

"I've decided to formally introduce the Anti-Black Magic Act tomorrow! Require all federal lawmakers to undergo a silver polygraph test! Install exorcism bells on the Capitol Hill dome!"

"My dear fellow Americans, if we continue to indulge these nightmares in human form, the next 'terrorist attack' will be a true demon crawling out of the furnace of flesh and blood!"

"We must join hands and unite to fight against black magic! Let's start by cleaning up Capitol Hill and hunting down the black wizard behind the Amish program!"

Senator Hamilton's passionate speech resounded through the sky.

This speech was highly inflammatory.

The opening chapter clearly reveals the existence of a conspiracy, then uses the example of a political enemy being a puppet, then uses the story of a personal tragedy through the death of his wife, then links black magic to the Boston attack, keeping pace with current events, and finally bravely declares war on black magic.

The entire speech is full of progressive emotions, shaping Senator Hamilton's personal image into an extremely majestic one.

Judging from his speech alone, Senator Hamilton was a wise, brave, determined, and tenacious father, husband, and fighter for democracy.

Li Shanze shook his head and said in disbelief, "Senator Hamilton, is he declaring war on wizards just like that? Has he decided to hide in Washington's anti-witchcraft barrier and never come out again?"

Kate narrowed her eyes and said after a moment, "Senator Hamilton may already be preparing for the next election."

Li Shanze was indeed a barbarian from a foreign land, with little understanding of democracy. He opened his mouth in surprise: "After offending the wizard community, he still wants to participate in the election?"

"Master, you don't think wizards are very popular in the United States, do you?" Kate asked with a smile.

"Ah, isn't it popular? Just by expending mental energy, you can accomplish miracles that others can't do. Isn't this a kind of supernatural power?" Li Shanze said in surprise.

"No, of course not. And you yourself have said the flaws of wizards." Kate shook her head.

"Defect, what defect?" Li Shanze was puzzled. He turned his head and saw Jennifer who was in a panic, and his heart moved.

After all, his little bitch, even as a wizard, still despised the identity of wizards.

"Ah, could it be?"

Kate understood Li Shanze's riddle and nodded. "Yes, that's what it means. Although witchcraft is a kind of supernatural miracle, it still comes at the cost of mental energy."

"Even compared to the purpose it achieves, the price witchcraft has to pay is negligible."

"We Americans, on the other hand, only believe in getting something for nothing."

"So, wizards aren't actually very popular in the United States."

"If wizards weren't truly far more powerful than ordinary people, who knows how many witch hunts the United States would have launched!"

Kate's voice was filled with gloating.

"When these wizards funded the radicals and secretly split the universal church, did they ever consider that the people who came to the New World with them were mainly the most radical Calvinists?"

So what about the religious reformation and wizards in this world?

Li Shanze was surprised.

Kate also realized that she had gone too far with the topic, so she changed the subject: "Besides, Senator Hamilton set a very clever target. He asked for a 'silver lie detector test' on the congressmen, but the congressmen who could go to Washington could only be mortals."

"It will undoubtedly only prove that the dignitaries on Capitol Hill are loyal to democracy, which is good for everyone's reputation, so this bill will never face too much resistance in Congress."

"And what about his other specific target?"

Kate glanced at Jennifer Bolton with a gloating look. "I'm afraid the only one left is your little bitch, the black witch chosen by the senator."

Even someone as dumb as Jennifer knew the stakes involved, and she was already trembling like a sieve.

236 Jennifer's cleverness

After hearing what Kate said, Li Shanze thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Senator Hamilton's remarks seemed to be very high-sounding, but in fact he was only targeting Jennifer's industry.

Having said that, if this industry has caught the attention of the senators, it must be quite big.

There was no doubt that Senator Hamilton was well-informed about this project in the Philadelphia suburbs—it was probably difficult to hide anything in Pennsylvania from him.

Li Shanze believed that since Senator Hamilton had spoken, it proved to some extent that old Burton had indeed had an accident.

Old Burton's foolish daughter was unable to keep the family business, which can be regarded as the Western way of destroying the family. It is not the case that putting money in a trust fund will not put you worry-free.

Li Shanze still remembered that he had read a news report in his previous life. After a wealthy person died, her pets were well taken care of, with expenses of millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year.

Perhaps the original intention of this news was to praise how much the West respects wills and how perfect its legal system is, so that even if the beneficiary of a will is a dog, he or she will be fully taken care of.

But think about it from another angle, isn't this just another way of wiping out the entire family?

How much does it cost to raise a dog? After a dog dies, any dog ​​is taken and reproduced as its offspring, continuing to eat the family line, and all the related companies and people make a fortune.

Even now, Li Shanze still couldn't hold back when he thought of the aura of "America is invincible" that permeated between the lines of that article.

It is laughable to think that funerals are celebrated to such an extent.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Li Shanze thought of the awkward article he had read that advocated for the extinction of one's family, and he almost laughed out loud.

But Jennifer, who was about to be eaten out, couldn't laugh at all.

She was in a state of considerable panic.

Then, Jennifer looked at Li Shanze with a pleading look and barked, indicating that she wanted to speak.

Li Shanze was in a good mood because he thought of the big joke made by the public intellectuals in his hometown, so he touched Jennifer's blonde hair and allowed her to speak.

"Thank you, Master! Since I am your bitch, my trust fund belongs to you. I will give you all the control! Woof woof!" Jennifer was very calm.

As soon as Jennifer opened her mouth, Li Shanze looked at her with a new respect.

This method of driving a tiger to devour a wolf actually came from the head of this abstract woman?

Li Shanze looked at Jennifer in disbelief.

You're going to put me in a fight with Senator Hamilton for your trust fund?

Or, if I refuse to help you, will you make a request that I find difficult to refuse?

Li Shanze began to find Jennifer interesting.

It seems that old Burton's education of his daughter was not completely useless. At least Jennifer was quite quick-witted when it came to intrigue.

"I don't dare to offend Senator Hamilton. How about letting him freeze all the funds in the trust fund?" Li Shanze asked tentatively with interest.

"That's all the master's money. The master can do whatever he wants with it. Woof woof woof!" Unexpectedly, Jennifer is quite single.

It was as if she really didn't care about her trust fund at all, and she really handed it over to Li Shanze.

It doesn't make sense. How did this woman suddenly become smart?

Li Shanze looked at Jennifer suspiciously.

Then he exchanged a look with Kate, who curled her lips to indicate that she didn't understand what was going on either.

Since you don't understand, just ask directly. Li Shanze felt that he could never figure out the abstract thought process of Jennifer, this abstract woman.

"How did you come up with this? You actually want me to confront the senator? Why do you think I have the ability to compete with the senator?" Li Shanze asked with a smile.

Li Shanze's direct question made Jennifer panic. She went around in circles for a long time before she finally told him the whole story in a roundabout way.

It turns out that Jennifer is a young lady from a wealthy family after all. As the descendant of a powerful wizard, the people she deals with on a daily basis are either rich or noble.

Therefore, interacting with upper-class figures like Senator Hamilton is her comfort zone.
