"There are many things in this world that may be different from what I think. I know when I saw Melissa turning completely unfamiliar and want to hurt Lisa and me!" Joseph and Jia Huan sat on the balcony, watching the sunlight slowly pull the shadows of the woods into long shadows, and said.

Jia Huan was just drinking tea, he was an audience member.

"So... no matter what appears, I won't find it strange. It's like that huge wolf, and the tiger that is more fierce than a wolf. I know this is your reason, and you can do something that ordinary people cannot do." Joseph glanced at Jia Huan, and he was indifferent.

"Luke decided to do it the way you did. And tomorrow they would hire someone to dig the pool." Joseph told him Luke Prescott's decision, "He decided to pay you double the price."

"He must have made you convince me. If it goes well, you will definitely not be able to use double. If I don't agree, then impress me with double price." Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.

"You speak directly like this, but I like it, so I skipped the first stage and entered the second double-price stage." Joseph also laughed, "Look, some people always make themselves more rational after suffering."

"Lisa called me in the morning and I went to Elizabeth's house." Jia Huan told Joseph about the morning events. He had nothing to say to Joseph, and there were no taboos. "In this world, there are not only werewolfs, but also vampires, just like legends. The reason why legends can become legends is because they always have their roots."

"So... is the world we live in safe?" Joseph's eyes showed a look of worry, "We live in such a bad ecological chain. I always thought that humans were already the top creatures in the ecological chain."

"Of course, people are indeed the top." Jia Huan nodded, "So...humans can always know how to deal with these things. The Tao that people like me practiced was born for this..."

"I know, so... you showed up and saved Lisa and me. Just... Melissa... I don't know how she became that way? Is it related to the vampire family you just mentioned?" Joseph asked.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with Gustin's family. It's Thor Gustin's friend. Three bastards. They forced Melissa's wine in the bar and then took her to the woods to QJ her. One of them bit her and then hid in Laredo Gustin's basement for fifteen years. I've been looking for them for fifteen years. Last night, if it weren't for David Gustin, I might have to wait for a while." Jia Huan nodded, "The three of them are dead. Just last night, I went to Gustin's house and solved all the problems."

Joseph was silent.

"Huan, I want to go to Melissa's grave to take a look." Joseph suddenly said to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan nodded.

Jia Huan and Joseph walked directly over. Because the cemetery was not far away, it was in the woods of Joseph's house. So it took only a while to walk.

Until now, Joseph really understood why Melissa turned out like that back then. He didn't blame Robin Gustin's family, they did not participate in the crime that year. Moreover, the three people who were dead, according to Jia Huan, were already dead, and even fifteen years later, they could have paid the price for what they did.

He could touch the photo on the tombstone with his hand. Joseph placed a clump of wild flowers pulled from the side of the road in front of the tombstone, and then squatted there and watched quietly. He suddenly felt that he had nothing to say to Melissa. For fifteen years, he always felt that he was the biggest victim.

He once blamed Melissa in his heart for showing no mercy to himself and Lisa. Even though he turned into that terrible appearance, did he even change his soul?

But now it seems that Melissa is the biggest victim.

"Lisa doesn't know about this, so...I suggest you better not tell Lisa." Jia Huan said, "She can't accept this result. For more than ten years, you have been using a lie to maintain the image of her mother, so... let the lie continue! This is good for you and Lisa!"

Joseph nodded and remained silent. He stayed quietly in front of Melissa's tombstone for a while before he stood up and said to Jia Huan, "Let's go." He had just taken a few steps, but stopped again and looked at Jia Huan, "Does people really have no soul?"

"Yes, of course there are souls, everyone has them, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see them." Jia Huan nodded.

"Then Melissa... can I see her?" Joseph looked at Jia Huan with hope, but immediately looked gloomy again. He smiled mockingly, shook his head and said, "You said... Melissa is soulless. Because she is a cursed person."

"So you should let go..." Jia Huan didn't persuade him. After saying this, he stopped talking.

Along the way, both of them were a little silent. After a while, Joseph said, "What should I do about Luke's affairs?"

"Let him come here by himself."

Although Jia Huan doesn't like people like Luke Prescott, he doesn't reject helping him. This is originally a kind of practice of Taoism.

Joseph quickly brought the news to Luke Prescott, and the guy came very quickly. When he arrived at Jia Huan's house, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still had to lower his posture: "Mr. Jia, I admit... I made a mistake before. But please forgive me, I am just... a very shallow person."

Jia Huan stopped holding his posture and nodded and said, "First find someone to dig the bottom of the middle of the swimming pool, and then call me and I will go there. You can do this first."

Jia Huan's order, Luke Prescott did not dare to object at all now, so he immediately went out to arrange it. Jia Huan said to Joseph who accompanied Luke Prescott, "How about you go and have a look with me then?"

"Of course, why not!" Joseph also laughed.

He would love to see Luke Prescott's cautious look after he was defeated.

While he was talking, he suddenly saw a Chevrolet off-road vehicle driving in. When Joseph saw it, he said to Jia Huan: "It's Mr. Cotter's car. Why did he come here?"

It was indeed Mr. Cote's car. After arriving, it was Mr. Cote and his wife Sanna who got off the car. The two walked up to Jia Huan's stairs. Seeing Jia Huan stand up, they nodded to him.

"I'm sorry..." Mr. Cotter said in the first sentence, "I originally wanted to call first, but I think it's better to come here in person... Thank you very much for everything you did, Mr. Jia."

"Please sit!" Jia Huan made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Cott and asked them to sit on the balcony. The four of them sat down around the table, and Joseph was about to leave. But Jia Huan pressed his hands and asked him to sit down and wait.

Mr. Cote looked at Joseph and Jia Huan again. He looked calm, so hesitated for a moment and said, "I must come over and say thank you. I don't want to leave here. I have lived here for many years, including my father and they are. The crisis last night was the biggest crisis I have ever encountered in my life..."

"I don't want you to appear in front of people suddenly." Jia Huan nodded and said, "So for the peaceful life in the town, I do this... not all for you and the Gustin family."

"I know, anyway... I'm grateful." Mr. Cotter said, taking out a cash check of $500,000 from his pocket and put it on the table. "We thought about it for a long time and felt that... we shouldn't..."
