american horror story

"Is this a wooden house?"

Roy noticed that the emblem on the mercenary looked very much like a log cabin.

Is this some kind of organization?

Just as he was wondering, Roy heard footsteps again.

This definitely wasn't FEA. They wouldn't be this fast. It's most likely reinforcements for these mercenaries.

So, Roy resorted to his old trick, lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, but actually squinting to observe the situation.

However, the newcomer was very cautious and directly threw out a round object to scout ahead.

Roy didn't dare risk whether this thing was a flashbang or not, so he quickly covered himself with the two mercenary corpses beside him.

This judgment was correct. The round object was indeed a fragmentation grenade. The two mercenary corpses covering him were instantly blown to bits.

Immediately after, a familiar figure holding a gun walked in.

It was Sully\!

This guy was definitely trouble\!

Roy suddenly threw off the bodies on top of him and rushed towards Sully, startling him. But this guy seemed to have received professional training as well and pulled the trigger on Roy in time.

Roy wasn't afraid of just a gun. As long as it didn't hit a vulnerable spot like the eyes, he'd be mostly fine.

However, Roy didn't expect that Sully wasn't holding an ordinary pistol, but a taser.

Zap\!

Caught off guard, Roy was hit by the taser and got a taste of electrotherapy.

But his physique of 45 allowed Roy to withstand the high-voltage current that could stun an adult, and he continued to charge towards Sully with undiminished momentum.

A look of fear appeared on Sully's face, but he didn't have time to dodge and was hit hard in the stomach by an uppercut.

Instantly, Sully felt like his internal organs had shifted. He completely lost control of his stomach's contractions, and his mouth opened to throw up.

Having increasingly rich combat experience, Roy had anticipated the consequences of his punch. He dodged in time, grabbed Sully's hair, and slammed his head into the corridor wall.

Bang\!

Sully, who was halfway through vomiting, was forced to swallow his vomit by the impact. Anyone who has experienced vomiting knows how particularly unpleasant that is.

Sully was tormented to the point of near-death before Roy grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Who the hell are you?\!"

Sully's face was almost purple, but he refused to say a word.

Roy realized that this guy had probably received anti-interrogation training, and torture might not be effective.

So, Roy activated his Fear Shadow ability.

"Scumbag, look into my eyes\!"

Roy's pupils turned golden, and Sully instantly fell into a terrifying illusion.

"I can't say\!"

Sully's will was quite strong. Roy released his Fear Shadow for several minutes but couldn't make him yield.

So Roy increased the output of his Fear Shadow, and then he saw Sully start to bleed from his nose and foam at the mouth.

"Speak\! Who do you work for?\!"

"Wood... House..."

Roy was a little surprised. He thought the wooden house emblem on the mercenary was just some kind of marking, but he didn't expect the organization to actually be called Wooden House.

"What is Wooden House?"

"A secret organization... specifically researching... supernatural existences..."

There's actually such an organization?

"Where is Wooden House?"

"In... in..."

Just as Sully was about to give the answer, his will could no longer hold on, and he fell unconscious under the pressure of fear.

"Fuck\! He actually passed out at the crucial moment\!"

Roy was a bit speechless, but at this moment, footsteps came again.

"FEAR First Response Assault Recon Team\! Drop your weapons immediately\!"

This time it really was FEAR. Roy was about to raise his hands when he heard a familiar voice.

"Wait, everyone lower your weapons. I know this boy."

Sultana was here too?

Wearing plain clothes, Sultana walked past the FEAR team and approached Roy.

"Roy, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but the others might not be."

Seeing the corpses lying scattered all over the place and the unconscious person, it was clear that a battle had taken place.

Sultana said something to a middle-aged black man in a suit beside her.

"Gerald, I want to talk to Roy."

Wasn't this Gerald Olin, the manager of the Dolphin Hotel?

So this guy was also with FEA\!

Does that mean the Dolphin Hotel is also a FEA property?

Thinking about it, it seemed somewhat reasonable. Room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel was a notorious haunted room. More than one person had died inside. FEA couldn't possibly ignore this room.

So FEA simply took over the Dolphin Hotel and kept watch over room 1408?

"Suit yourself. Anyway, he'll have to come to the station with me later."

"I know the rules at the station. Roy, come with me\!"

"I have two friends inside. Can I ask them to come out?"

Sultana glanced at Roy.

"Male or female?"

Roy chuckled awkwardly and didn't answer.

No answer was the best answer. The clever Sultana instantly understood what Roy meant and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"You're really something\! I'll wait for you outside."

With that, Sultana gracefully walked out of the movie theater.

After Roy called Heather and Penny out, he immediately went outside the movie theater to find Sultana.

"Sister Sultana, have you been reinstated?"

"Not yet. I just happened to be in Los Angeles recently to relax, and it just so happens you're here too."

Hearing this, Roy's expression became a little strange. He remembered mentioning to Sultana that he was coming to Los Angeles before he left.

"You... you wouldn't have been waiting for me in Los Angeles on purpose, would you?"

This made Sultana blush a little. She couldn't help but pat Roy's arm.

"I told you it was just a coincidence. Don't overthink it\!"

He didn't expect this older sister to be so easily embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence\!"

Sultana quickly calmed down and then looked into Roy's eyes.

"Roy, have you made any new discoveries?"

Sultana knew most of Roy's secrets, including his identity as the son of a demon, so Roy had nothing to hide.

"I just interrogated a man named Sully. He claims to be from an organization called Wooden House."

"Wooden House?\!"

Judging by Sultana's expression, she seemed to know this organization.

"Sister Sultana, do you know this organization?"

Sultana nodded.

"It's a non-profit organization that researches supernatural powers. It has many ties to the government and has always been quite radical in its methods."

Well, another non-profit organization.

As everyone knows, America's non-profit organizations are the most powerful, such as the NCAA, animal protection organizations, and the Federal Reserve.

It once made Roy suspect that "non-profit organization" was an abbreviation for "very profitable organization."

"Is it troublesome?"

"Very troublesome. They might even have people within FEA\! But don't worry, I'll help you cover up this incident. Gerald and I have a good relationship."

Roy felt like he had inexplicably gotten caught up in another vortex.

"Sister Sultana, thank you\!"

He hugged Sultana, and she gave him a sweet smile.

Just as Sultana said, Gerald didn't make things difficult for Roy and the two girls. After recording what happened in the movie theater, he let them return to the hotel.

Anyway, the Dolphin Hotel was under FEA's control, and Roy couldn't run anywhere.

It was Bretchett and the others who were a bit unlucky. First, they were hit by tranquilizer darts, and then they were affected by the fragmentation grenade. Several of them were injured while unconscious.

On the other hand, the berserk middle-aged man who fell at the door was only tranquilized and had no other issues.

It was already past midnight when they returned to the Dolphin Hotel. Roy, Heather, and Penny had lost their interest in pre-sleep exercises. After washing up, they went to bed to rest.

The next day, Roy was woken up.

Opening his eyes, he didn't see Heather and Penny, but the quilt was bulging, as if someone was hiding inside.

"Oops, sorry, I'm still not very skilled. Penny is teaching me."

Penny was indeed more experienced in this regard. She often took the lead in guiding Heather.

"It's okay, take your time to learn."

Roy patted Heather's head to encourage her.

Who wouldn't love such a studious student?

"Oh, that's how it is\!"

After some interaction, Roy was fully awake and lifted the quilt, ready for some morning exercise.

But at this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Roy frowned, picked up the phone, and pressed down on Heather.

"Don't stop\! The sea of learning is boundless, you must not give up halfway\!"

He didn't know if Heather understood the meaning of "the sea of learning is boundless," but she certainly hadn't stopped making progress.

Roy glanced at his phone screen. The phone number displayed was Alan Berg's.

"Hello, Mr. Berg, is there something I can help you with?"

"Nothing much. It's just that the Santa Monica Cup qualifiers we talked about yesterday have already started today. Would you like to prepare?"

"Hiss\! Prepare? Do I even need to prepare for the qualifiers?"

"Mr. Black, it's like this. The qualifiers don't have any breaks. You can play all three matches in one day, or one match each day for three days. I'd like to know your plan."

Roy barely managed to concentrate on Alan's words.

"Phew\! So that's what you meant. Of course, I'm planning to play all three matches in one day\!"

"Then you need to prepare in advance. The Santa Monica Cup matches are usually in the evening. How about you come to UCLA in the afternoon?"

"Hmm... I... I need to check my schedule for today\!"

Roy's voice became muffled, as if he was suppressing something, which made Alan feel a little strange.

"Mr. Black, are you feeling unwell?"

"No\! My body is very healthy\! Anyway, I'll go to UCLA to find you by evening at the latest\!"

"Okay, then it's settled\!"

Alan hung up the phone, and Roy quickly threw his phone to the side.

"Heather, Penny, you two actually took advantage of me while I was on the phone\! I'm going to punish you properly\!"

"Ah\!"

It turned out that these two girls had just suddenly used a pincer attack, almost causing Roy to collapse.

Fortunately, Roy finally withstood the offensive, and now it was time for him to counterattack.

After a morning workout, it was already noon. The hungry Roy and the girls went to the Dolphin Hotel's restaurant for a meal.

The Dolphin Hotel's restaurant had a direct view of Santa Monica Beach, and the scenery was very beautiful.

During the meal, Heather and Penny were attracted by Santa Monica Beach and made a plan with Roy to go swimming in the sea in the afternoon.

"Mr. Black, sorry to interrupt your meal, but can we have a chat?"

Just as they finished their meal and were feeling full, Gerald suddenly appeared and greeted Roy.

Roy had a pretty good impression of Gerald, this black man, so he didn't refuse and followed him to the restaurant's large balcony.

"Mr. Olin, is there something I can help you with?"

"It's about the Wooden House agent we caught last night."

Wooden House agent, did he mean Sully?

"That Wooden House agent went completely crazy after waking up this morning. Can you tell me what happened?"

Hearing this, Roy felt a little awkward. This must have been because his Fear Shadow was too powerful, driving Sully insane.

But this wasn't easy to explain. It was enough for Sultana to know about Roy's abilities; the others in FEA didn't need to know.

"Um... maybe the guy's conscience was bothering him, so he drove himself crazy, or maybe he's just pretending to be crazy."

Gerald looked deeply at Roy, knowing that the other party didn't want to talk and was just making up excuses.

"Mr. Black, everyone has their secrets, and I can understand that. However, I hope that next time you encounter such important figures, you can be a little more lenient so that I can also extract some information."

Judging by his tone, Gerald didn't seem to be making things difficult for Roy, probably out of respect for Sultana.

"Ahem, I'll try my best\!"

"Here's my contact information. If anything comes up, you can contact me directly."

Gerald handed over a business card and then turned to leave.

Trying to poach Sultana's man? This guy probably doesn't know about his relationship with Sultana, does he?

Roy scoffed, put away the business card, and returned to the restaurant to leave with Heather and Penny.

After resting for a while, the three of them arrived at the beach in front of the Dolphin Hotel. Their appearance instantly attracted the attention of most people there.

Roy's figure was as perfect as Hercules, full of masculine hormones, and his face was as handsome as Apollo, making women unable to take their eyes off him.

And Heather and Penny by his side were no less impressive.

Heather herself was a petite woman with large breasts. Wearing a bikini, she bounced with every step, which was quite a sight.

As for Penny, her figure wasn't as exaggerated as Heather's, but her curves were also very perfect. Combined with her face that made people feel pity for her, she was also the center of attention.

"Ha\! Even though I grew up in Los Angeles, I rarely get to come to Santa Monica Beach to play\!"

The west and north of Los Angeles have always been places where wealthy people and tourists gather. In Heather's past, she only came here when she had to work.

But now Heather was also financially free. As long as she didn't make high-risk investments like some second-generation rich kids, she would definitely have no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life.

"So, what are your thoughts now?"

Penny looked at Heather and quietly squatted down on the beach.

"It feels... like a dream\! I'm really worried that I'll open my eyes and find myself still lying in that old apartment."

Roy patted Heather's rear.

"If it's a dream, then why not just keep dreaming?"

"Roy, you're right\!"

At this moment, Penny suddenly grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Heather before turning around and running.

"Ah\! Penny, you actually ambushed me\!"

"Hahaha\! Come and catch me\!"

The two girls chased each other on the beach, causing quite a commotion.
