In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 232

A crisp slap rang out suddenly, and Richard Lockwood was so slapped that he was dizzy and his body flew involuntarily to the side, staggering and falling to the ground.

Jessica, who had already come to Su's side, withdrew her hand upon seeing this. Since it was rare for the boss to want to play around personally, she certainly wouldn't spoil his fun.

Richard Lockwood, lying on the ground, shook his head, somewhat surprised that Su's reaction and movements were so fast and that his strength was so great.

　After a brief moment of surprise, Sanqiqi was overcome with boundless rage. With a powerful push of his hands, Richard Lockwood lunged at Su Shi once again.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out as the hand was raised.

Sue's hand landed precisely on Richard Lockwood's face as he jumped up, slamming him back to the ground.

Richard Lockwood was stunned. He stared blankly at Sue sitting on the sofa.

How can it be?

How could he react so quickly and be so strong?

This is definitely not something an ordinary person could do!

Richard Lockwood's anger was extinguished by Su's two slaps. He stared at Su with eyes as sharp as knives, slowly stood up, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth.

A burning, stinging sensation instantly shot through the corner of his mouth. Richard Lockwood looked down and saw the bright red bloodstains on the back of his hand, which were unusually glaring.

I'm bleeding! I actually got slapped and am bleeding! I got slapped twice and am bleeding!

This humiliation infuriated Richard Lockwood.

Who is he?

The mayor of Mysterious Falls Town is not only the absolute head of the household, but also a werewolf hiding his true identity!

As a result, he was slapped twice by Ms. Su.

People care about their reputation, just as trees need bark, especially Richard Lockwood, who valued his reputation even more.

You could say that he originally just wanted to get rid of the Su family and Jessica, but now... the Su family must die!

Taking a deep breath, Richard Lockwood surprisingly suppressed his anger: "Who exactly are you?!"

"Who am I? Heh..." Su laughed and turned to Jessica: "Tell him who I am!"

"god!"

Jessica replied in a deep voice, "In my heart you are a god, no... not just me, in the hearts of many people you are a god, the great god of ninjas!"

God of Ninjas?

Richard Lockwood paused for a moment, then sneered.

Do you think I don't know what a ninja is?

Those pretentious and mysterious ninja techniques are just self-aggrandizement and tricks to fool people. He admitted that Su's strength was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations, but to say that he was a ninja or a god of ninjas was an understatement.

That would be ridiculous.

Only a fool like Jessica, who has only recently become a vampire, would believe that.

"I can let you stay in Mysterious Falls, but in exchange, you must tell me how you knew my identity, and... you must..."

"Pfft!"

A gust of wind swept through, and a piece of white paper swiftly and precisely sliced ​​across Richard Lockwood's neck. Then, to his astonishment, it folded rapidly, turning itself into a paper flower.

A paper flower that has turned bright red because it was stained with blood.

“You…you actually…” Richard Lockwood covered his neck with both hands, looking incredulously at Sue as she gave the bright red paper flower to Jessica.

He actually killed himself!

How dare he do this?!

I'm the town mayor, and I'm also the head of the committee. If he killed me, wouldn't people find out?

How dare he... how dare he...

"Pfft!"

Richard Lockwood fell heavily to the ground, blood slowly flowing out.

"Although I know this is just a delaying tactic, and you want to find a way to kill me later, threatening me at this point is a bit suicidal. You keep saying you have to do this and that, haha, if you ask me, you deserve to die!"

Sue shook her head and pursed her lips, then teleported Richard Lockwood's body to another dimension, before signaling Jessica to clean up the bloodstains.

"Oh!"

A shadow clone appeared, then transformed into Richard Lockwood and left.

It wasn't surprising that Richard Lockwood would approach Sue. Of the committee members, only Liz had a good relationship with him; the others weren't trustworthy enough to warrant his stay. Even if Liz vouched for him, the others wouldn't agree to him remaining.

Originally, the Su family planned to take things slowly and try to control the committee in a gentle way. After all, the committee was only limited to Mysterious Waterfall Town and was not worth making a big fuss about, so they did not take it too seriously.

But Richard Lockwood's attitude was indeed quite unpleasant, so Sue had no choice but to change her attitude and kill him without hesitation.

how?

I, a mighty tycoon, a god of ninjas, who slays angels above and demons below, have to put up with the arrogance of a werewolf like you?

Do I have to play along with you?

Pretending to be weak to outsmart others is somewhat believable, but pretending to be weak to outsmart others? That's ridiculous!

If the amiable Su family doesn't mind playing role-playing games and showing off to me? Heh, then let's flip the table, anyway, this table is dispensable!

Richard Lockwood, disguised as a shadow clone, swaggered around outside the Su family's house for a long time after leaving, creating numerous eyewitnesses before leaving the town.

Of course, the shadow clones disbanded on their own not long after leaving the town, but to others, Richard Lockwood appeared to have left the town.

As for why he hasn't come back since he left?

Hehe, then that has nothing to do with the Su family.

Not long after the matter with Richard Lockwood was resolved, another guest came to the house.

Has the mayor come looking for you?

Upon entering the house, Liz went straight to the point and asked Sue a question.

"I came, and just left."

"He...what did he say?"

After asking the question, Liz hesitated and said with some guilt, "Yes, I'm sorry, I told them about your situation. Although I was willing to vouch for you, the committee ultimately decided to let you leave."

"You don't need to apologize to me. The committee's decision has nothing to do with you or me," Su said with a light laugh. "You don't actually think I'll leave just because the committee tells me to, do you? Don't be ridiculous. Let's not even talk about the committee not having that authority; even if they did, they'd need the power to do so!"

Su paused slightly, looked at the surprised Liz, and said with a smile, "I don't want to leave, and no one can make me leave!"

Chapter 392 Bonfire Party

Although Sue said the committee's decision had nothing to do with Liz, Liz, as a member of the committee and the police chief, would be the first to be affected if Sue really clashed with the committee!

After all, the committee would need the police force to deal with supernatural forces, and Liz could hardly remain uninvolved.

Leeds is now in a dilemma. The committee's advice has been ineffective! And she has no standing to advise the Su family at all. How can she advise them? Advise them to leave Mysterious Falls?

Just as Su said, on what basis?

Does the committee have this right?

Even if there is.

Does the committee have the capacity to implement its policies?

Finally, Liz asked the mayor about his visit to the Sue family, then took his leave.

For Sue, the mayor's death or the committee's threat meant nothing.

However, he wouldn't just let it go like that.

The mayor has already paid the price, but the committee hasn't.

Since the committee wants to get rid of me, it's only right that I take back what I gave away.

However, the Su family does not intend to take action themselves; there is someone who is very suitable to do it for them.

In the afternoon, after school.

Elena 14, Caroline, and Bonnie, the three sisters, followed Vicky back to the Su family.

Elena behaved as usual, neither low-key nor attention-seeking. Although she wanted to ask Su about Stefan, she did not show it in public.

Caroline, as always, licked and clung to Su, telling her about her experiences at school after the start of the semester.

Bonnie, however, was unusually quiet.

Although Bonnie is usually a quiet and low-key type, her quietness today is unusual; she seems a bit absent-minded.

"Something on your mind?" Mrs. Su asked Bonnie.

"You seemed a bit preoccupied during the day, Bonnie. We're best friends, so if something's bothering you, don't keep it to yourself, just tell us."

Elena took over the conversation and put her arm around Bonnie's. She had noticed Bonnie's unusual behavior before, but hadn't had a good chance to speak up.

Bonnie forced a smile and hesitated before saying, "Do you remember that transfer student named Stefan from today? I... I accidentally bumped into him before, and I felt a very... very dark and scary feeling about him."

"Really? I thought that transfer student seemed pretty cheerful?" Caroline thought back for a moment.

Bonnie shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe it's just my imagination because I didn't get enough rest?"

"Stop talking about me, let's talk about the bonfire party tonight."

At the mention of parties, Caroline perked up immediately and began to enthusiastically describe them. Finally, she asked Su, "Want to join us tonight? You haven't been to a party like this since you came here, have you?"

"Okay."

Ms. Su readily agreed.

This bonfire party is the first plot point, and both Stefan and Damon will appear in the TV series.

Damon, in particular, secretly bit Vicky, which triggered a series of events that ultimately led to Vicky turning into a vampire and dying a tragic death.

So even if Caroline didn't say anything, Sue would still attend the bonfire party that night.
