In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Nidi shook her head: "Aside from feeling nauseous when I drink it, it doesn't seem to have changed anything else."

Su nodded and analyzed, "Perhaps I was too hasty. You've only drunk demon blood for two days, which shouldn't be enough to awaken the dormant demon blood within you."

"Should I continue drinking it?" Nidi hesitated, feeling that drinking demon blood was a bit evil to her.

Su smiled and pointed to Jennifer behind her: "Do you want to be a pretty face like her?"

Jennifer turned her head and said with displeasure, "I heard you!"

Su shrugged dismissively. So what if he heard it? He didn't say anything wrong.

Supernatural powers? Jennifer has none! Professional skills? Jennifer doesn't know any! Unless he trains her to be a ninja, what else does Jennifer have? What's left?

She's just beautiful!

All she has is beauty; what else is she but a pretty face?!

Nidi didn't actually think there was anything wrong with Jennifer's behavior. After all, she had lived in Jennifer's 'shadow' since she was a child, and it would be a lie to say that she wasn't envious of Jennifer's beauty and the life that beauty brought her.

However, she also knew that her future life would inevitably be closely linked to various supernatural events, and that beauty alone would not be enough to protect herself or Jennifer.

The RV was very comfortable, but the speed was a bit slower. If they were driving a Pagani, they could have reached Ohio before dark, but now they didn't arrive at their destination until the afternoon of the second day.

Sue regretted not buying a house here when she and Olivia visited the fallen angel Anna Milton last time.

Although I can't stay here often or for long, at least I'll have a place to stay. Now I can only stay in hotels.

The Su family gave each of the three girls 100,000 yuan as pocket money, allowing them to move around freely, while Su himself sensed Anna Milton's location, preparing for a chance encounter with this fallen angel.

In the library, Anna Milton stood in front of the bookshelf, engrossed in reading a book.

Her long, wine-red hair cascaded down her shoulders. She wore jeans, a white T-shirt, and a light brown-green workwear jacket, which made her look less youthful and more mature and intellectual.

Not far away, Ms. Su, who was observing her, was about to go over and say hello when her phone suddenly rang.

The phone rang unusually loudly in the quiet library. Anna Milton frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a somewhat familiar Su Shi giving an apologetic smile as he turned to answer the call.

"It's him?!"

Anna Milton instantly recalled a day a few months ago when he complimented her hair on the street. Although she had politely declined his advances, she was quite taken with his nonchalant attitude. When he was about to leave, she offered to exchange numbers, but he stingily refused.

"Next time, if we have the chance to meet again."

Anna Milton still remembers that sentence.

Anna Milton initially thought he might be playing hard to get, first rejecting her to leave an impression, and then creating an opportunity to get close to her. However, months passed and he never showed up.

Anna Milton had almost forgotten about it, but she never expected to run into him again in the library. She didn't know if this unexpected encounter was a special kind of fate, but she really wanted to talk to him and had an urge to get to know each other.

A few minutes later, Su put away her phone and walked apologetically towards Anna Milton. "Hi, you should remember me, right?"

Anna Milton smiled sweetly: "Of course I remember, and it's unforgettable. I once thought you were stingy, or that you were trying to get close to me using some kind of trick."

"And now?" Su asked with a smile.

Anna Milton shook her head: "I don't know! But... I think the chances of bumping into each other in the library are very small, and you don't look like you'd be coming to the library."

Ms. Su shrugged, feigning helplessness, and waved her phone: "Can we exchange numbers?"

Anna Milton looked at him with a half-smile: "Is our meeting this time fate?"

"Haven't you heard the saying?" Madam Su said with a light laugh, "As long as you have money, you can be with anyone."

"So, are you trying to show your sincerity? Or are you just showing off your strength?" Anna Milton asked with a light laugh.

“Neither.” Mrs. Su shook her head, looking at Anna Milton with some curiosity. “You really don’t know who I am?”

Anna Milton paused, then asked, "Should I get to know you? I mean, besides that time we hit on each other, is there any other reason why I should get to know you?"

Su shook her head speechlessly: "You should change careers."

……

P.S.: I haven't been feeling too well lately. This chapter took me a whole afternoon to write, and I'm a bit exhausted.

Chapter 240 When did you introduce me to beautiful women?

Before Anna Milton regained her angelic powers, or rather, before she was sent to a mental hospital, she worked in journalism.

If a journalist doesn't recognize himself as a recently famous billionaire, is he just waiting to starve instead of changing careers?

Anna Milton looked at Sue blankly: "Change careers? Do you even know what I do for a living?"

"Journalism, you know," Su chuckled lightly, "I'm starting to doubt if you really remember me."

“Of course I remember,” Anna Milton explained. “There’s no need to lie about something like this, is there?”

Su asked, "What is my name?"

“Your name is…” Anna Milton was suddenly stunned. She really couldn’t remember the other person’s name.

Anna Milton awkwardly tossed her hair, tried hard to recall for a long time, and finally gave up.

"I'm sorry, I forgot your name, but I will definitely remember you!"

Anna Milton sincerely apologized to Mr. Su. Her memories of Mr. Su were mainly of him praising her hair and refusing to exchange numbers. As for his name, she might have remembered it at the time, but it was normal to forget it after several months.

You meet someone on the street who strikes up a conversation with you. Months later, you might remember that such a person existed, remember what they looked like, and remember what they said when they started talking to you, but you'll most likely forget their name. This is because people remember physical appearance more vividly than their name when they first meet someone.

"Do you remember my name?" Anna Milton asked curiously.

“Anna,” Su said with a smile.

Anna Milton shrugged and extended her hand. "Okay, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Anna Milton."

"The Su family."

Ms. Su smiled and grasped it.

Anna Milton blinked: "I definitely won't forget this time, after all, you're a billionaire."

Su chuckled, "Can we exchange numbers now?"

"Of course, my pleasure."

After exchanging numbers with Sue, Anna Milton suggested, "Want to go grab a coffee together?"

Ms. Su was taken aback, then shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have something to do in a bit, so..."

"It's ok."

"I assure you, this isn't a tactic, nor is it playing hard to get. Do you have time tomorrow? Give me a chance to be attentive?"

Anna Milton chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

"See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow."

Sue smiled, waved goodbye to Anna Milton, and turned to leave the library.

Looking around, Su walked into a secluded alley nearby, making a phone call to Bi Yi as she went.

"I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave for a while. I might be back tonight or tomorrow."

After saying that, Ms. Su hung up the phone and disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared on a remote, desolate road.

The surrounding area was a lush forest. Not far away, a car was parked at the edge of the road, with a young girl sitting inside. Upon seeing Su Shi suddenly appear, she hurriedly opened the car door and got out.

"You've arrived!" The young woman greeted Su Shi with delight as she got out of the car.

Who is the girl?

Serena von der Woodson!

The female lead in Gossip Girl, her own ninja, and the manager of 'the most extraordinary residence in the world'.

The phone call I just received at the library was from her.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Su asked Serena.

Serena immediately explained, "I have a friend who went missing last week after coming here to rock climb with her boyfriend. The police have no leads yet. I came here to discuss something related to the film crew, and after we finished, I was passing by this area and thought I'd try to find any clues, but..."

Serena pointed to her car, where a tire had blown out and was wrapped in barbed wire. "This is definitely not an accident; someone deliberately left it on the road."

Are you driving alone?

"Yes what's the matter?"

Ms. Su frowned: "Do you have a driver's license? Besides, why are you driving around like that all by yourself? What if you encounter danger?"

Serena retorted defiantly, "I'm a ninja!"

"A ninja who can't use any ninjutsu except for refining chakra!" Su Shi retorted mercilessly.

Serena pouted and complained softly, "Is it my fault that I don't know ninjutsu? You didn't teach me, how am I supposed to learn? I've run around doing all sorts of things for you, even introduced you to beautiful women, and you didn't even say you'd teach me ninjutsu to thank me."

"You want me to teach you ninjutsu and then expect me to thank you? Dream on!" Su rolled her eyes at Serena. "Besides, when did you ever introduce me to any beautiful women?"

· ····Requesting flowers·· ······

“Amber, one of the female hosts on set, didn’t she contact you?” Serena was a little surprised: “I gave her your contact information.”

Before going to Portland to visit the Green storyline, Sue received a text message from Amber Heard, which included not only photos but also a thank-you invitation. However, Sue neither accepted the invitation nor replied at the time.

"I contacted them, but I ignored them."

Serena looked at Su with surprise: "Although she's not very famous, she's very beautiful and has a great figure. Plus, her age is just right. I know that you Easterners value age and certain things, so I specifically investigated before giving her your contact information. Why... never mind, let's talk about this later."

.. .. ...

Should I thank you for your painstaking efforts and kind intentions? Su rolled her eyes at Serena, looked around, and asked, "Where is this place?"

“It was a remote rural area in Green Rose, West Virginia. This road seemed to be Bear Mountain Road,” Serena recalled.

West Virginia is bordered by Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The entire state is located within the Appalachian Mountains, with no plains and 75% of its land covered by forests, hence its nickname "Mountain State".

The area is vast and sparsely populated, with dense jungles and mountains. Most of it is practically uninhabited. If something happens in such a place, you'll be completely helpless and no one will know even if you die there.

So why would Serena's friends go rock climbing in a place like this, trying to reconnect with nature? No wonder there are so few foreigners here; with people like this, it's no wonder there are so many people.

"Are you alright?" Su asked Serena.
