Not only them, but even Jake Harvey and Amanda didn't realize that after Xu Fu figured out the secret of the stone pot, he threw it to the FBI and told Jake Harvey that the stone pot was very important to the demon Gast and that he would definitely come to steal it. He said that we could use it to test whether Joel Nash was really possessed by the demon. He didn't mention anything like that, but kept it as a trump card.

Jack Harvey was enraged, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He could only shut his nose and admit that he would never know the truth about the Doomsday Mask until he died.

Sam Lane muttered to himself, "Your words are hard to believe."

Xu Fu said casually, "Whether you believe it or not, whether you cooperate or not, it's none of my business. If there's nothing else, please leave. Vanessa is coming soon, and I don't want her to see me entangled with two people over sixty years old."

The two looked at each other, and Rossier muttered to himself.

"We'll contact you again in two hours."

Xu Fu nodded: "I hope you can bring good news."

After seeing them off, Xu changed his clothes and had dinner with Vanessa 657, while Sam Lane and Rozier returned indoors to contact the Senate and the Department of Defense's temporary special operations team.

After repeating the dialogue, everyone in the battle group frowned simultaneously: no one knew whether what they said was true or false. If it was false, that would be fine, but they were afraid it was true.

Joel Nash's presidency was already a headache enough, and now there are two more souls. It doesn't matter if one soul dies, but if the other doesn't die, it can be resurrected. You can't even imagine such power.

If the problems of both souls cannot be solved at the same time, endless troubles will follow. No one can guarantee that the demon Gust will not repeat his old tricks, fixating on the candidate and staging another demon president drama.

"Standarov, are you sure it was Xu Fuxiao who killed the leader of the Serpent Society?"

“At the time, Maeve, Chief Harvey, and I were all present. The two of them struggled and released a very powerful energy wave, exuding the aura of the Swamp Man. But his aura quickly disappeared, and then the aura of the Snake Spirit Leader also disappeared, leaving only Xu Fu-Xiao.”

Rozier picked up the thread: "We discovered that the person in charge is the monster with the wooden body that you mentioned, the one who can manipulate plants."

Standarov frowned slightly, displeased with the word "monster," Maeve replied.

"He's not a monster, he's a human being," Xu Fu-Xiao called him "Professor." "I think he also has a keen eye."

Ignoring the hostility in his words, Rossier continued, "Does Xu Fu-Xiao know about this?"

"Yes"

How did they meet?

"I have no idea"

"Are you able to get in touch with him?"

Maeve shook her head silently: "Before this, Director Harvey ordered us to go to Mori to question the Swampmen about the battle, but he kicked us out and seemed hostile to the FBI."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Rozier's eyes: the swamp man was key evidence; if he agreed to cooperate, the truth could be uncovered, and even more clues could be obtained.

Sam Lane added, “Go back to the swamp forest and tell him what happened. If possible, ask him to come out of the forest and meet us.”

Standalone and Maeve nodded.

"Okay, we'll be right there."

"After they left, the video conference was handed over to their people," an elderly man with glasses said coldly.

"With so much money and billions of dollars in orders, what else does he need?"

Rozier said helplessly, "Xu Fu-Xiao isn't the kind of person who's short of money."

The old man snorted angrily, "The fact that he doesn't want money proves that he wants more."

"Shut up, Karl. If you hadn't wasted time, things wouldn't have gotten this far."

Sam Lane frowned, his eyes deathly serious: "Election day is approaching, and Thomson is too sick to stand up. I don't need to say more about the outcome. Once Joel Nash is re-elected, he will definitely reshuffle the cabinet. At that time, who can stop him? Who can stop the devil who holds the ultimate power?"

One sentence struck a nerve with the crowd, and even the air became oppressive.

“This must not happen. We must expose the demons within Joel Nash before the election is over. Xu Fu-Xiao is the key to the whole affair. Whatever your opinion of him or the Hungarians, you must humbly meet his demands.”

"but..."

Someone tried to speak, but Sam Lane interrupted them without hesitation: "No buts, guys. Think about how you got to this position. He doesn't care about the survival of the country, let alone you. The devil isn't so easy to lick."

Rozier coughed. "The last sentence is redundant."

Sam Ryan sighed deeply, and then

“If that’s the case, I will contact Xu Fu-Xiao. You need to be prepared, time is really running out.”

After the video conference ended, Sam Lane and Rosie went to the hotel lobby, where a dance was being held.

Xu Fu was talking with several young people. Vanessa, who was next to him, was wearing a silver fitted dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. A jade pendant the size of a pigeon egg hung on her snow-white chest. The green and white colors complemented each other, adding a unique charm to her beautiful and intellectual temperament.

At that moment, she was like a princess in a fairy tale.

However, the princess seemed to have found love and was reluctant to part with him, repeatedly refusing suitors' invitations.

The two elderly people exchanged a glance, both seeing admiration in each other's eyes: the young people of today are amazing, having captivated the president's daughter in just a few days.

So-called Casanovas are nothing more than this!

The two stood at the door and waved to Xu Fu, but Xu Fu ignored them and instead led Vanessa around in circles, thoroughly enjoying the ball. Fortunately, Vanessa saw Rossier and, thinking he had something important to do, quickly saw Xu Fu out of the hall.

"Mr. Rossier, what brings you here?"

Rozier coughed awkwardly. "I'd like to discuss something with the person next to you."

Are you looking for Xu Fu?

"Yes"

Vanessa scrutinized the two men's faces with suspicion; she recognized Rossier as someone from the Department of Defense, and the older, naked man beside her gave the impression of being a member of the Senate.

How did they find Xu Fu?

Xu Fu smiled and said, "Go sit for a while, I'll be right there."

Vanessa nodded, glanced at the couple, and turned to leave.

Xu Fu followed them into a conference room on the second floor, closed the door, and whispered...

"If I remember correctly, there are still forty minutes until the agreed time. Can't you at least wait that long?"

Chapter 1108 Rumbling Sound

The conversation lasted a long time. Vanessa didn't see the three leave the meeting room until an hour later. Judging from their expressions, had they reached some kind of agreement?

When the agreement was mentioned, Vanessa suddenly remembered her mother's warning: The man you like is no ordinary person. He is the heir to the world-famous mafia organization Hung Moon. He was released from prison at the age of eleven and went into the underworld. In just a few years, he became the boss of the mafia in Seaside City. His hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. He is a cruel and ruthless person. He must have some purpose in getting close to you.

Recalling those words, Vanessa suddenly felt a chill run through her body.

After spending a few days together, she also felt that Xu Fu didn't have the excitement that young men and women in love showed. He was very casual and carefree, like a balloon drifting in the wind, impossible to grasp.

Vanessa still doesn't know what he's thinking. Maybe, as his mother said, he doesn't like her.

After seeing the two elderly people off, Xu returned to Vanessa and

"This old man's mutterings never end. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"N-nothing...it's nothing!"

Vanessa forced a smile: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back."

Xu Fu watched the ball, which was nearing its end, and nodded.

"That's good too."

Back in her room, Vanessa confided in her best friend, and then Eva told Xu Fu what had happened. Xu Fu sensed the distance emanating from the girl and realized it was time to confront her.

At 10 p.m., after a romantic candlelight dinner, they had an unusually fun afternoon exercise, accompanied by continuous meows under the bright moonlight, which gradually subsided after a while.

In the bedroom, a satisfied Xu Fu held the girl's slender waist and said slowly...

"I must tell you: the meeting at the Red Flame Bar was not accidental, but something I had carefully planned."

Vanessa, who was feverish, tensed up instantly, her eyes filled with shock, and it took her a long time to speak.

"Those three thugs are your men."

"No, I'm just waiting for an opportunity to come to them."

"So, you bravely saved my life to win my favor."

In the darkness, it was difficult to see the expression on her face, but one could imagine her feelings at the time, and

It's true.

"Why...did you come looking for me? Because of my father."

"Yes"

Feeling the corpse trembling in his arms, Xu Fu sighed helplessly.

The girl clenched her fists and screamed, "You are my father's enemy. You want to use me to blackmail President Rice?"

"No, I don't know him at all, and I have no resentment or malice towards him."

"Why then?"

Vanessa's heart shattered into countless pieces as she desperately searched for answers.

Xu Fu was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "If I told you that your father was possessed by a demon, would you believe me?"

"This is impossible!"

"Believe it or not, it's true. The demon parasitizing your father's body is called Gast. In ancient times, he was the ruler of the galaxy. After defeating the Eternals, he was sealed in the Red Pot of Cletus. A few years ago, the seal of the Red Pot was broken, and the demon Gast's soul was able to break free. He chose two hosts, one was the guild master of the Serpent Spirit Guild, and the other was your father."

"The main reason your father, Joel Nash, won the election four years ago with such a low vote share was because the demon Gasta manipulated the whole thing with his magic."
