my beauty world

Carolina hurried over and left the office building first.

Ronan was about to leave, and Pingqi came out at this time, and the two went downstairs together.

When we got downstairs, seeing Pingqi wanting to drive by himself, Ronan patted him on the shoulder: "I'll see you off."

Since yesterday, Ping Qi has been tossed a lot, his face is full of exhaustion, he did not refuse Ronan's kindness, and got into the Cadillac.

Ronan drove Ping Qi to North Hollywood first.

Pingqi took off his glasses, wiped them slowly with a lens cloth, and said, "Duke, I mentioned to Miranda about your going to Washington, this time you are a victim, and you are capable, the company's senior management should not If you refuse, they will give you an explanation."

Ronan explained: "Thank you for your intention."

"Don't thank me in a hurry, I will rely on you to help me in the future." Ping Qi's smile was full of exhaustion: "This matter needs to be taken care of, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. When holding a media meeting, I will voluntarily resign."

Ronan couldn't find the right words to comfort him for a while.

Strictly speaking, from the project to the theme to the shooting location, everything was chosen by Ping Qi, and he was not wronged as the first person in charge.

There is no place to reason when encountering the unlucky thing that the second-level voodoo priest of the voodoo religion was promoted.

Sending Ping Qi to his residence in North Hollywood, Ronan comforted him: "Sleep well, rest for a day, and you'll be fine."

Ping Qi got out of the car, stood at the door, leaned on the roof of the car, and said, "I'm fine, if I can't stay here, I'll go to New York, and I can always find a job."

Ronan waved his hands, waited for him to close the car door, drove away from North Hollywood, and soon returned to Beverly Hills.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a bird standing on a tree in the yard.

Ronan opened the window, and the raven bombs flew in, hooting around the house.

"That's right, I'm getting smarter." Ronan took out the meat and threw it to Raven: "I can fly back by myself, and I can assist in the battle. The meat I feed you is worth the fare."

During the fight with Mari Love, the bomb helped him take out a zombie cat.

After breakfast, thinking of the information he got from Mari Love, Ronan went to the safe house to change his disguise, let the raven bomb follow him in the sky, and drove to Watts Street.

I have been here once before. This is one of the slums in Los Angeles. The residents are basically black, and many of them believe in voodoo.

Normal voodoo is a public belief in many countries, such as Haiti and Benin, where voodoo basically belongs to the belief of the whole people, and it is not too much to say that it is the state religion.

But Mari-Love's voodoo, which has an ancient heritage, is not the same as the modern castrated version of voodoo.

Ronan walked around the Watts neighborhood and found out about the two most important buildings in the neighborhood.

They are the voodoo cathedral on the block avenue and the textile factory in the center of the block.

The former belongs to spiritual sustenance, and the latter provides jobs for many blacks.

The car was parked in the parking lot next to the Voodoo Cathedral. Ronan didn't get out of the car. He watched the black people coming and going in a hurry, and listened intently to the voices in the church.

In the church, there was a constant sound of drumming, the kind of tambourine with African characteristics.

There seemed to be prayers.

The sound was too messy, and even though Ronan had enhanced hearing, he couldn't hear anything useful.

Start the car and leave, and then come to the textile factory.

A car carrying gauze comes out, and when you get a little closer, you can hear the sound of the machine running.

According to common sense, this type of factory has not been allowed to be placed in the urban area for a long time.

Ronan asked Carolina before. When Carolina was trained by the Special Affairs Bureau, the relevant materials specifically mentioned Voodoo and Watts Street.

Back then, slave trade in Africa brought some voodoo people to North America. The culture and inheritance of voodoo are just like the black group they rely on. Its adaptability and expansion are extremely tenacious. After a series of events, the Washington authorities simply drove voodoo from the east to the west.

And in the process of advancing westward, it was used as a sharp edge against the Indians.

The knife worked so well, so the Washington authorities kept voodoo, but it was limited to the Watts district of Los Angeles.

In the last century, the black riots in Watts district intensified the conflict between Voodoo and the authorities. However, with the emergence of the Voodoo Emperor, coupled with a series of bribes and compromises, the authorities maintained the agreement many years ago.

Survival of voodoo is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in the face of the economic restrictions imposed by the authorities, and their financial resources are drying up.

Later, he simply devoted himself to the business of being a trafficker.

However, the Bureau of Special Affairs did not mention the Loom of Destiny, so they probably didn't know about it.

Destiny Loom, the name has something to do with the textile factory.

The noise on the factory side was even more chaotic. Ronan turned around, but found nothing, and it was not easy to touch it in broad daylight, so he simply drove out of the Watts neighborhood and came to the beach.

Charter a speedboat and get away from the coast.

Ronan threw all the recent waste, such as disposable recoilless gun launchers and explosion residues, into the sea.

After turning around and returning to the shore, I received a call from Thomas.

The exorcist priest is currently with Mad Bull, and the two have sold part of their belongings and jointly opened an exorcism firm, which specializes in solving various difficult and miscellaneous diseases for clients.

In this world, there should be a market for exorcism.

Not to mention anything else, in the water pool beside Parker Town, there lived a devil who possessed the power of despair and death.

At the turn of the century, the magic power recovered, and it has only been more than four years now. In the words of Master Carolina, the magic power in the air is still relatively thin, and many weirdnesses are still dormant or sleeping.

Even the spells released by spellcasters such as mages and witches are not too powerful.

Thomas also joked that if there is something weird that they can't deal with, they will call him and ask for foreign aid.

Ronan responded with a smile.

At present, the promotion of the second-order predator is in sight. Although it is unknown what the next level will be, but looking at the promotion of the second level, it may require some weird things.

The exorcism firm opened by Thomas and Mad Cow can also serve as a source of information.

Ronan went to another safehouse, switched cars and a new disguise, and headed to the Watts neighborhood again.

The next step is pretty clear, look for opportunities to destroy the Loom of Fate.

This thing can strip off all the vests and directly hit Ronan's core vitals!

Then go to Washington, seeking to promote the last raw material for soul cooking of the predators - the eyes of the Bald Eagle King.

While driving the car, Ronan received a text message on his mobile phone specially used for communication, only a short line: I'm here!

…………

As night fell, the Hilton Grand Hotel in Washington, D.C. was ablaze with lights.

A high-end party is going on, involving both politics and business.

"This way!"

Under the guidance of his business partners in the United States, Igor followed him to a high-end coterie and got to know heavyweights.

In the center of the circle is a middle-aged woman with short blond hair.

This woman has an aggressive beauty, as if standing there, she can control everything around her.

When the small circle of people dispersed, this person strode over and greeted: "Claire, when did you come back?"

Claire shook hands with him: "Just came back last week, Derek, aren't you busy with business in London?"

"It's over." Derek shook hands with the middle-aged woman: "Claire, you are getting more and more beautiful."

He asked, "Frank is back too?"

Claire smiled: "Of course."

Derek motioned to Igor at the back: "Introduce a business partner to you, Igor Rebrov, a banker and entrepreneur from Lviv, a city in western Ukraine. Igor, this is Claire Ann Durwood, director of the non-profit organization 'Clean Water Project'."

Igor had heard about this woman from Derek a long time ago. Her husband is a heavyweight member of Congress. She is assisting the party leader in preparing for the next general election. She is an important figure in Washington.

The so-called "Water Purification Project" is doing a profitable business under the banner of public welfare.

"Hello." Igor shook hands with Claire lightly in English with Ursey's accent: "It's a great honor to know you."

Claire's scene skills are impeccable: "I am very happy to meet friends from Ukraine."

The two chatted for a few words, inevitably talking about the situation in Eastern Europe.

Igor immediately stated his position. As an entrepreneur from Western Ukraine, he did not have the slightest impression of Mao Xiong. He hoped that Ukraine could join the EU and NATO as soon as possible.

"Security can bring about a stable business environment." He has long been prepared: "The security system in the world today is established under the maintenance of NATO led by the United States. I can't wait to hope that the country will be bathed in the glory of democracy and freedom..."

That being said, Igor is very clear about the mission this time, to find and activate those seeds, and then hold Washington back as much as possible.

If possible, let's make a mess here.

It takes time for the hometown to recover, and it also takes time to archaeologically strengthen the military.

Claire responded with a smile: "The United States has always had the responsibility of a great power. As far as I know, Washington has always regarded Ukraine as part of the free and democratic world."

After chatting for a while, Igor stopped and left here to meet more people.

Claire didn't take him seriously at all. This kind of businessman from a remote part of Europe was of no value to her.

In the political center of Washington, Igor took every step carefully and did not rashly contact any member of the Seed Project. Once his identity was exposed, he would be lost forever.

It's a pity that Olof, who instigated the seed project, died in the chaos of disintegration. If he was still there, it would be much easier.

Derek is a businessman who takes the political line, and soon introduced a powerful figure to Igor: "This is Rep. Russell of Pennsylvania, Igor, when you see him next time, he may It's the governor of Pennsylvania."

Peter Russell was bald, but easy-going: "Derek was joking." He asked: "What kind of business do you run in Ukraine?"

Igor said: "Both the banking industry and the retail industry have been involved. I am seeking for my bank to enter the foreign exchange settlement system of the European Union and North America, and chain retail stores to import more non-staple food products."

Peter Russell smiled: "I wish you success."

Like Claire, for Derek's sake, after a brief acquaintance, Peter Russell has no intention of further communication. Ukraine is too far away. In his concept, it belongs to the corner of the world and has no value for the time being.

As the banquet progressed, Peter Russell gradually became impatient and restless. The purpose of coming here today has been achieved. He met Derek, one of the party's patrons, met Frank's wife Claire, and left a certain impression.

It's time to say goodbye.

After leaving the banquet hall and dismissing the driver, Peter Russell drove alone to the business district of Washington.

Driving to an empty place, the car entered the parking lot, and he thought about his recent career. Frank is assisting the party leader Walker to participate in the next general election. Once the latter succeeds in winning, the former will surely take an important position.

Through Frank's line, can he hope to become Governor of Pennsylvania?

Thinking of this, Peter Russell became even more agitated. He took off his tie and threw it on the co-pilot, and undid the top two shirt buttons, wanting to scratch the skin on his neck.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Peter Russell took the bag, took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.

Soon, the restlessness subsided, and people became quiet.

At the other end of the parking lot, in a very ordinary commercial vehicle, several people were observing.

One of the middle-aged people said: "Boss, I'm right, this kid is addictive! He's already addicted!"

With dyed brown hair and smoky makeup, Jess, who couldn't see her true colors at all, took a picture of the man and said, "You've done a good job. I'll take my word for it. You're still in charge of your affairs, and it's business as usual!"

These people were perennial thieves in Washington, who had been persuaded by Jess to join her alliance.

The middle-aged man was flattered and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Boss, you are our guiding light! Your arrival has pointed out the direction for our colleagues in Washington!"

"David, you are really talented!" Jess had the urge to cover her face, and when she came to Washington's new subordinate, after being implanted with the seeds of loyalty and obedience, she was in front of her, more than she was with that person. In front of you, you have to exaggerate.

No, no, not the same!

Jessie said in her heart, I have a cooperative relationship with him, and David is purely my subordinate.

David looked over there, Peter Russell seemed to be lying in the car, and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?"

Jess had already planned: "Leave the clever one here to watch, we go to the next stop, doesn't he like to have a drink every time he finishes high?"

David nodded: "Yes."

Jess said directly: "I'll wait for him at the tavern and talk to him."

David flattered at the right time: "Boss, do you want to conquer him with charm? He will definitely bow down to..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that the boss's face changed, and the heavy smoky makeup couldn't cover it!
