While in Apple City, he knew Mike was very wealthy and had even hired a top-notch medical team for him.
During this meeting, he heard from Mike that the other party had completed all his university courses in the past six months.
How can someone be so outstanding!
George felt weary, realizing that his youngest daughter was not good enough for Mike.
"I heard his company is now investing in the real economy." Because of business dealings, George knew some of Mike's recent situation.
“An investment company? Looks like Mike made a lot of money on stocks before,” Mary interjected.
Mike had previously helped Connie's grandmother and the Cooper family with stock trading for a while, so Mary highly regarded Mike's ability to make money in the stock market.
“I don’t know how much money Mike has, but I heard he’s already ranked high on the Wall Street rich list…” George was not on the same wavelength as his parents; he was simply marveling at Mike’s success.
Only those who have truly experienced entrepreneurship know how amazing it is to start from scratch and enter the Wall Street rich list in just two years.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a "business miracle".
"Ah~"
Old George sighed and exchanged a knowing glance with his wife.
Then my gaze shifted to Mike's youngest daughter, who was watching him leave with reluctance.
'It seems the gap between the two is widening.'
In the end, Old Man George shook his head helplessly and stopped thinking about such irrelevant things.
All we can say is that 'children and grandchildren have their own blessings,' so let nature take its course.
Meanwhile, Mike, who had arrived at the hotel on set, didn't bother anyone and went straight to Kate, who played Rose.
They spent the whole night giving the girl a protective buff.
"Are you leaving again?" Kate asked lazily through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room as she watched the man prepare to depart.
In the morning light, the girl's fair skin seemed to glow, giving her a classical beauty.
Mike couldn't help but glance at him again before saying, "I have work to do, I'll come see you in a couple of days."
My main purpose in coming to California was to support Constantine; visiting the Cooper family and Kate was just a side trip.
"Hmm, next time you come, you'll probably have to come find me overseas." Kate was very clear about her identity as a "canary."
She wasn't competitive or eager to compete, but the reason she stopped Mike was simply to have a few more words with him and make him remember her more.
Overall, it's a very "smart" approach.
"Oh, the outdoor filming location is all set up?" Mike asked.
To ensure the authenticity of the new film, director Cameron planned a lot of location shooting, investing a lot of money to build sets in Canada and Mexico.
Although Mike, as an investor, didn't get involved much in the filming process, because the investment was substantial enough, director Cameron had previously discussed the possibility of shooting on location with him.
“Yes, the outdoor set is all set up. We’ll be heading abroad to film tomorrow or the day after,” Kate replied.
"That's good..." Knowing that the girl was about to leave California, a relatively dangerous place, Mike felt much relieved.
Then, seeing the other person's confused expression, he explained, "I mean, I'll ask the director to give you some preferential treatment later..."
"Also, if you have any questions after you go abroad, you can contact me."
……
More than half an hour later, Mike left Kate's room, satisfied.
Then, accompanied by Nidi who was waiting at the door, they found Mr. Randy, who was studying directing techniques there, and the three of them went to see director Cameron together.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mike finalized the theme song for the new movie with director Cameron.
With that, Mike had finished dealing with all his "miscellaneous matters" in California.
"Hello, is this Agent Y? I'm Agent M from the Men in Black Special Operations Unit..." After saying goodbye to the film crew, Mike finally contacted Constantine, who desperately needed help.
After confirming each other's identities, the two arranged to meet at a glass restaurant on the West Coast. They could exchange information and have lunch together.
The semi-transparent glass restaurant, surrounded by glass structures, is very famous locally and is considered a popular tourist destination.
Of course, as a well-known restaurant, the Glass Restaurant's name is not only due to its unique features, but also because there was an even more famous church nearby called the Glass Chapel.
The glass restaurant seems to have capitalized on the trend.
As it turns out, restaurants that try to capitalize on a trend often end up with food that doesn't live up to their fame.
Mike, seated in a luxurious glass-enclosed booth in the restaurant, tasted a couple of bites of the exquisitely presented food before putting down his knife and fork.
Next, all that's left is to wait for Constantine to arrive.
Not long after, a handsome man in his thirties was led into Mike's cubicle by the waiter.
“I’m John Constantine, you can call me John…” The man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, sat down familiarly before saying, “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Agent M, right?”
“Yes, you can call me Mike.” Mike frowned and glanced at the man in front of him.
A bluish complexion and pale lips indicate a lung problem.
Judging from the fact that the other person always has a cigarette in their hand, they must have damaged their lungs from smoking.
“It seems you’re like me, not fond of using the organization’s codenames…” Constantine ignored Mike’s gaze, and after a brief chat, asked, “You should have heard about my situation from Ms. O, so did you bring anything good? Our opponents this time are no pushovers.”
As a legitimate exorcist, Constantine's exorcisms often require the use of powerful exorcism tools.
The strength of a tool almost represents the exorcist's ability.
“Sorry, I’m not used to relying on external aids,” Mike replied calmly.
As his strength increased rapidly, he hadn't found any suitable weapons along the way.
"You didn't bring anything?" Constantine, unaware of the situation, frowned upon hearing this, then tentatively asked, "Holy water?... A blessed cross?... Surely you have a Bible?"
However, Mike shook his head every time he asked.
Finally, Constantine gave up, saying in surprise, "Are you sure you're an agent from the special department dealing with mysterious incidents?"
This time, Mike nodded.
"Okay, let's talk about that later. Let's eat first. See what you'd like to eat." Mike gestured for the other person to order.
This restaurant isn't exactly bustling with people, but it's not exactly a good place to talk about evil spirits either.
"Sigh, you don't have any exorcism tools. We're in trouble this time." Constantine looked uninterested and then waved for the waiter to leave.
Then, as if she were giving up, she pulled Mike's barely touched plate from in front of her, took a bite, and asked, "You don't mind, do you? You don't seem to have much of an appetite..."
Since the other party had already spoken, what could Mike possibly say? He could only shake his head again.
“Hey, let me tell you, things here aren’t cheap. I’m just trying to save you money.” Constantine seemed to realize that he had been too cold to the support staff earlier, so he tried to start a conversation while eating his lunch.
At the same time, he was holding a still-smoldering cigarette between his fingers.
That looked really strange.
……
Chapter 475 Treatment
[Yin-Yang Eyes (Talent)]...[Two-World Traveler (Talent)]...[Exorcism Experience +99]...
Watching Constantine wolf down two large plates of food, Mike also obtained quite a few special energy orbs from him.
“I think you should take a hot shower and get some rest first…” Mike gave Constantine some sound advice after they left the glass restaurant.
This man, who reeked of cigarette smoke, had a handsome face, but his demeanor always exuded a sense of decadence.
Even after eating and drinking to their heart's content, they still look very listless.
"Leaving aside my situation..." Constantine, completely disregarding his own predicament, instead stared at Mike and Nydy and said, "Considering you treated me to a meal, I advise you to leave. The Demon Gate is about to open, and without the ability to protect yourselves, staying here will only cause trouble."
Or rather, in Constantine's eyes, Mike and his companion, without exorcism weapons, were practically doomed to die.
"You mean you can't perform an exorcism without exorcism tools?" Mike turned to look at the dejected man in front of him, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to convince the other party without demonstrating some ability.
Before the man could speak, Mike continued, "Let me guess, there's someone who thinks highly of himself but doesn't have long to live, wanting to go to heaven but unable to. He's forced to 'do good deeds' in an attempt to prove he deserves to go to heaven..."
As a demon hunter with genuine skills, Constantine exorcised countless demons in the first half of his life, sending at least several hundred, if not a thousand, demons back to hell.
In this situation, if he went to hell after death, one can imagine that his days there would be quite "exciting".
The demons in hell are no pushovers...
Therefore, Constantine, who is terminally ill with lung cancer, urgently needs to obtain a ticket to heaven.
However, things didn't go as planned. Constantine was told by Gabriel, the angel stationed in California, that his previous exorcisms were not from his own heart, and therefore he would not be able to go to heaven afterward.
This is also why Constantine is now somewhat resigned and decadent.
"You know so much about going to heaven, do you have connections with the people up there?" Constantine wasn't too concerned at first, but after listening to Mike's story, a look of surprise appeared on his face, mixed with a hint of delight.
In order to avoid going to hell in the future, he is now eager to improve.
“If you’re referring to angels, then I do know one,” Mike replied with a smile.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Constantine no longer felt any disdain and said familiarly, "As a colleague of the Men in Black, could you ask that angel if there's any way for me to go to Heaven after my death?"
"You really want to go to heaven that badly?" Mike asked, amused.
“I have less than three months to live, and I would much rather go to heaven than to hell,” Constantine confessed.
At this moment, in his eyes, the young man in front of him had become his last lifeline.
“Late-stage lung cancer isn’t considered a terminal illness to me.” To enhance the visual effect, Mike conjured a ball of white light and threw it at Constantine.
According to Gabriel, Constantine's exorcism was not of his own volition, so it does not count as doing good deeds.
However, in reality, Constantine's exorcism business over the years has indeed helped many ordinary families.
In Mike's eyes, he was a "good guy" worth saving.
The white light just now was the power of healing, which cured Constantine's lung cancer.
"How do you feel this time?" Mike asked, still smiling.
"What was that white light? I feel much more relaxed, especially in my lungs..." Constantine took a few deep breaths and found that his lungs really didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
In celebration, he immediately lit a cigarette. After the epic inhalation, he visibly relaxed.
Sure enough, there was a reason why this person had late-stage lung cancer in his early thirties.
“That’s the power of healing. I cured your lung cancer, so you don’t need to rush to get rid of it.” Mike said, somewhat speechless, “Of course, if you continue to smoke excessively, you’ll get lung cancer sooner or later.”
“That’s amazing!” Constantine said cheerfully. “That means even if I continue to smoke a pack of cigarettes every day, I can live for at least another thirty… twenty years. That’s enough.”
Constantine, in his early thirties, had been smoking for over twenty years. By that calculation, he could indeed live for another twenty years or so.
Mike wasn't addicted to cigarettes and didn't understand why the other person was so dependent on them. But that didn't stop him from respecting the other person's lifestyle.
More than half an hour later...
Just to be on the safe side, Constantine went to see his private doctor. He received confirmation that his lung cancer was indeed cured.
“I still have to say, it’s truly amazing.” Stepping out of the private clinic, Constantine looked at Mike as if he were a god.
You should know that he had previously applied for a medicated ointment from the Men in Black organization, which he heard was a life-saving ointment.
However, the miraculous ointment only extended his life by two months; it did not cure his lung cancer.
As a result, that stubborn lung cancer was completely cured by a burst of white light.
Constantine still feels a bit unreal.
Afterwards, Constantine, feeling relieved and calming down, finally remembered that he still had work to do.
He looked at Mike and the other man and said, "Recently, the evil spirits in California have been acting strangely, even Father Hannahsi was involved in mysterious events. I've discovered some clues through my investigation of the crime scenes..."
As a special agent for the Men in Black, Constantine also has his own helpers, one of whom is Father Hannah.
After recounting Father Hannah's situation, Constantine took out a handkerchief with a special symbol imprinted on it.
“I need to take responsibility for Father Hannah’s death, so please help me.” Constantine, whose life was no longer in danger, no longer needed to worry about going to hell.
Therefore, he had the idea of avenging his friend.
The special symbols made of bloodstains on the handkerchief were the unique marks of the evil spirit that killed Father Hannahsi.
“I’m on a support mission this time, so you can decide what to do.” Mike handed the initiative over to the other party.
