my beauty world

Ronan turned on his vision and harvested soul fragments +7.

Thomas wiped the blood from Hart's clothes, and with the mace slung around his waist, he hopped onto the nearby metal platform and sat down.

Ronan searched Hart roughly, but found nothing of value.

Seeing Ronan skillfully touching the corpse, Thomas asked, "Who are you?"

Ronan said, "It's not an enemy." He asked directly, "Father, the St. Nicholas Orphanage is affiliated with the church. Do you have a way to get in?"

Thomas understood Ronan's meaning: "You want to deal with vampires?"

"You can say that." Ronan roughly said, "I still have something to clarify."

Thomas drew the cross on his chest: "I want to figure something out too."

Ronan smiled slightly: "Look, we have the same position and goal."

Father Thomas said: "If what it says is true, I am ashamed of the Lord as a member of the Diocese of Los Angeles."

Ronan told the truth: "There are many darknesses that cannot be illuminated by the light of the Lord."

"But the Lord will not tolerate such darkness and filth!" Thomas firmly believed: "I believe that the light of the Lord will dispel the darkness."

Ronan said: "If you want to report to the diocese or the official, you can leave now. We have never seen it before."

Thomas is not a visionary. He said directly: "You don't understand that the St. Nicholas Orphanage is directly under the jurisdiction of the diocese. If there is a problem with the orphanage, it means that there is a problem with the high-level members of the diocese. Reporting it is tantamount to suicide, and it also involves Los Angeles politicians..."

He looked at Ronan: "What's your plan?"

Ronan said: "Determine the whereabouts of Kleven, catch Kleven, everything is clear at a glance."

Thomas thought of his old friend Flynn, who was the vice president in charge of logistics at the orphanage: "I have a friend who works as the vice president of the orphanage."

Ronan said directly: "In this matter, he cannot be trusted."

"We might be able to hear from him," Thomas said.

"Get out of here first." Ronan walked out: "I'll take you to a safe house, you are not suitable to show up now, wait for my news, and then confirm your friend's actions."

Thomas followed Ronan out of the factory building. He judged whether his words were true or not. This man did not lie about the orphanage.

Leaving Glendale, Ronan drove Thomas to North Hollywood, where Catherine's single-family house had been vacant since Catherine's death at the Virginia estate.

Father Thomas said, "As soon as possible."

Ronan nodded: "Tomorrow at most."

It was late when we left.

Ronan called Jess, waited for the phone to be answered, and said, "It's me."

At the Beverly Hills Hotel, Jess, who was dressed up, left the party banquet hall and came to the empty balcony, dimpled with laughter: "Is there something wrong?"

Ronan heard a voice: "Convenience?"

Jess looked around: "It's convenient."

Ronan said: "Let your people inquire about Kraven's past itinerary, especially the rules of going to the St. Nicholas Orphanage."

Jess said, "I'll arrange it now."

The banquet was very lively, and there was the sound of music. She subconsciously explained: "I am attending a party in the film industry, and Leonardo is here."

Ronan responded and said, "Notify me immediately if there is any news."

Hearing that the phone was hung up over there, Jess breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest lightly, trembling like an earthquake, quickly took out another mobile phone from her handbag, and sent a message to her subordinates, asking them to deal with it immediately.

Jess returned to the banquet hall and saw one of the targets of the night in the crowd, a rich-looking Malaysian businessman wearing glasses.

This person is one of her carefully selected targets. He is a rich second generation from Malaysia. He has a close relationship with the son of the Malaysian Prime Minister and a rich man in the Middle East. He is worth billions of dollars. He came to Hollywood to seek investment in movies.

Movies are known to be one of the best industries for money laundering.

Eva, the CEO of Quinn Films, was chatting with that person. One wanted to invest in a movie, and the other was about to launch a movie project. The chat was quite heated.

Jess stepped on her high heels, thumping and thumping.

Eva immediately introduced: "Zoter, let me introduce you, this is Jessie, the investor and president of Quinn Films. Jessie, this is Zoter Liu from Malaysia."

Like many rich Americans, Jess has a cold attitude towards Southeast Asians. After chatting with Liu Zuote for a while, she turned to other places.

Eva said: "Jessie is negotiating with Leonardo. The "Undercover" project I just mentioned to you, Zot, plans to ask Leonardo to be the leading actor!"

When Zot heard it, his interest increased greatly: "Which Leonardo?"

Eva said with a smile: "There is only one Leonardo in Hollywood."

Jess passed through the banquet hall and came to the quiet terrace. She leaned on the guardrail with both hands and looked into the distance. Her blond hair fell like a waterfall. Although her legs in high heels were not as exaggerated as Giselle's, they were still slender and straight.

Leonardo chatted happily with others, and walked this way from the resting place.

After a period of psychological adjustment, he gradually returned to normal, walked out of the psychological shadow, and became that single-minded good man again.

Break up with your fiancée, get rid of the shackles, and feel good.

The last time those people popped up and made a small request, they disappeared without a trace and never showed up again.

Leonardo selectively forgets them and continues his life of feasting and feasting.

Had a great chat tonight with a few company executives, time to get ready for a new job!

As soon as Leonardo looked up, he saw the terrace, and there was only one person on it.

The long hair shines like a golden waterfall.

The legs are straight and slender, comparable to an elongated pencil.

If it was placed more than ten days ago, Leonardo would not be interested at all.

But with recent adjustments, he has regained his single-mindedness.

Leonardo straightened his bow tie and suit, walked slowly onto the terrace, saw the bright moon in the sky, and said, "What a beautiful moonlight."

Jess turned around, dimpled from a smile, and said directly, "Corsica."

Leonardo was instantly petrified as if struck by lightning, and the fear of being dominated by blond hair and long legs during his trip to France emerged again.

is her!is her!That's her!

That female biker who fell!

At this time, Jess and the Jess in front of Ronan were completely two people, and they whispered: "Come with me, let's have a private chat."

Leonardo turned his head to look at the crowded banquet hall, and wanted to leave.

Jess smiled at him.

Leonardo bit the bullet and said, "Okay."

The two left the banquet hall one after the other, came to the coffee shop of the hotel, found a place with few people, and sat across the table.

Leonardo stared and slapped the table: "As you said, finish that thing and delete that video! To be a human being, you have to be trustworthy!"

Jess said seriously: "I have always been trustworthy in my work! I swear in the name of God and the honor of my family, that video is completely deleted."

Leonardo heaved a sigh of relief, without the video, it would be easier to say...

Jess said: "Don't worry, I will never threaten you with that video." She smiled slightly: "In Corsica, my subordinates are a bit too much, they took more than one video."

"You! You..." Leonardo raised his finger and pointed at Jess, filled with anger for less than a second, before turning into full of grievances: "How could you do this!"

Jess took out her mobile phone: "One of my subordinate sons admires you very much, hugs you...you know."

Leonardo thought of the video he watched last time, and his eyes darkened: "Don't go too far! I will call the police!"

Jess stared at him and said, "You won't, because the help I want from you is trivial to you."

Leonardo was puzzled at first, and then asked unconsciously, "What do you want me to do?"

Jess came here in person because it was impossible for other people to persuade Leonardo: "I opened a film production company, and I plan to invest in film projects. I want you to be the leading actor. Press conferences, participate in media campaigns, shoot some pre-publicity posters."

Leonardo's eyes grew bigger and bigger: "What do you want to do?"

"It's just to get some investment." Jess seemed to be understating it, but actually the words went straight into Leonardo's mind: "I won't involve you in it."

Leonardo shook his head: "You are engaging in financial fraud. If I agree, I will be an accomplice!"

Jess said: "How could it be an accomplice? You are just a victim, a victim who was fraudulently used by the film company because you liked the script and the characters."

She is not yet at the second level, and her persuasion is limited: "I will not raise funds from Hollywood film companies, and the target is overseas investors. As long as you stand firm as the victim, the impact will not be great."

Leonardo thought unconsciously.

Jess continued, "You want something to be in the media all over the world? In the police mailbox?"

The two chatted for about 10 minutes, and Leonardo left in a daze. Although he didn't directly nod in agreement, he had a deep-rooted thought in his heart—this matter cannot be refused!

Chapter 155 The Choice Between Life and Death (6000 words)

In a fast food restaurant in North Hollywood, Ronan was flipping through "Entertainment Weekly", and there was an important piece of news on the front page.

"Leonardo is confirmed to star in the film project "Undercover" invested by Quinn Company!"

Afterwards, there was an interview with Leonardo.

There's also an introduction to the ambitious Quinn Productions.

Seriously.

Ronan closed the newspaper and looked at Jess on the opposite side: "It looks very real."

Jess seemed to be recognized and appreciated, she dimpled her sweet smile, and said simply: "In the early stage, it was supposed to be a real operation. Many of those who came to Hollywood from overseas to invest in it were for money laundering. Although they don't understand the operation of Hollywood movies, they They are not fools, and they can only be attracted to invest if they are treated as real in the early stage.”

She said one by one: "Project establishment, buying scripts, hiring a director, doing publicity, setting up a crew, finding a distributor, etc., all of these are real, and they can be withdrawn as soon as the investor's money arrives."

Ronan nodded: "Through media reports, Leonardo's star effect has attracted attention, and the effect is better when you are promoted?"

Jess said: "It's almost like this. When Leonardo cries in the media, the impact will be even greater."

Ronan reminded: "You always catch a sheep and pluck its wool, and problems will arise after a long time."

"This is the last time." Jess explained: "To a certain extent, persuasion is to use one's own views to influence others' views. This is a very difficult thing, and the ability of first-order persuasion is limited. Leonardo has a handle Hold it in my hand and cooperate with each other to achieve the effect."

Ronan asked: "What about the second order?"

Jess doesn't want to say that this involves her core secrets, but her mouth is like a colander in front of Ronan: "In addition to strengthening the persuasion ability, the second level can also use special means to implant my ideas into other people's minds."

Ronan thought of Giselle, and Jess probably wanted to do this to her.

Jess bit her lip hard to keep it from moving, and waited until she forcibly turned around before saying, "Including your investment of 100 million US dollars, you will invest 200 million US dollars up front, mainly buying media layouts and publishing news. If it goes well, it is expected to have a return of more than 3000 million U.S. dollars.”

"It's okay." Ronan said this, but his head was thinking, what kind of weapons can such a huge sum of money buy?

That Yuri guy claims to be able to get even tactical nuclear weapons.

Having said that, that prodigal son in Ukraine, what doesn't he sell?

Ronan turned back to the topic: "Speaking of business, is there any news?"

Jess stopped laughing and said seriously: "On the tenth of every month, Kraven will accompany two dignitaries in Los Angeles to the orphanage to give condolences. These two people were seriously ill many years ago, but their condition suddenly improved. Since then, they have been enthusiastic about charity. , paying particular attention to orphans.”

She glanced at Ronan and said softly, "I speculate that they were transformed into vampires."

Ronan felt that the possibility was extremely high. The power in his hands was limited in the face of life and death. How many people didn't want to live?Especially those who sit in high positions.

Even if he is a disaster, he can't wait to borrow another 500 years from the sky.

These news are enough, Ronan warned: "Keep your people away from the DP, and don't be caught and hurt your feet later."

Jess quickly agreed.

Ronan left the restaurant first and went back to Catherine's house.

Knocking on the door, the tall and tall Thomas asked, "There is news."

"Kraven will accompany two big figures in Los Angeles to the orphanage on the tenth of every month." Ronan repeated what Jess said.

Thomas immediately came to the same conclusion: "Those two politicians must have accepted the so-called first embrace and became vampires! Remember what Hart said? In the vampire's recipe, the blood of boys and girls is the most mellow!"

Ronan unscrewed the bottle of water and took a sip: "I went to the St. Nicholas Orphanage yesterday. It was built on a hill far away from the inhabited area. The guards are quite tight. It's obviously not what an orphanage should be."
