In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Page 248

Damon is here to steal the magic crystal, or rather, the gem. Sue doesn't intend to stop him. On one hand, it's a matter between him and the committee. On the other hand, even if Damon gets the gem, he might not be able to break the seal on the tomb. So, he can just watch the show and there's no need to get involved.

Before they knew it, it had gotten dark, and melodious music filled the villa as men and women danced relaxed to the music.

Outside the villa, on a bench on the lawn, Su rolled his eyes and drank, chatting casually with Elena about how Elena had seen Stefan and Damon's names on the exhibition's 'guest list'.

This list is from previous family gatherings of the founders, and it includes the names of Stefan and Damon. Elena knew their identities, so she naturally guessed that the names on the list must be them.

In a room on the second floor of the villa, Damon, with the extra, had already obtained the magic crystal and was preparing to leave, all under Damon's watchful eye (by Hao Nuo Zhao).

This was to be expected and within Su's expectations, but what he didn't expect was that in another room, several people were sitting together staring at a pocket watch with its hands spinning.

These people were none other than the committee members led by Carol, including Loganfeld whom they had just met, and Elena's parents.

Looking at it this way, the purpose of this founder's family gathering becomes somewhat clear. Aside from being a regular event in the town, they probably wanted to use this gathering to investigate the vampire Zhu hiding in the town.

Unlike in the TV series, the committee already knows that other vampires have entered the town, and that vampires can appear during the day under special circumstances. This greatly increases the difficulty of identifying the vampires, and a party like the founder's family gathering is indeed a perfect opportunity to investigate vampires!

Chapter 414 Damon's identity has been exposed?

The villa, inside the room.

Carol Lockwood frowned as he looked at the hands of the magic pocket watch spinning back and forth. He then turned to Grayson Gilbert, Elena's father, and asked, "Are you sure this thing is okay? Isn't it supposed to be able to tell where vampires are? Why are the hands moving so much?"

Grayson Gilbert explained, "That's because there's more than one vampire here!"

Carol Lockwood paused for a moment: "You mean our plan succeeded? Besides Jessica by the Sue family's side, there really are other vampires here?"

Grayson Gilbert nodded, while Loganfeld couldn't help but say, "We shouldn't have invited the Su family. If he hadn't come, that vampire with him wouldn't have come either, and we wouldn't be unable to pinpoint the vampire's location now."

Carol Lockwood disagreed: "What if the vampires make a move here if we don't invite the Su family? Can you guarantee you can stop them before they harm anyone? Can you guarantee there won't be any trouble here?"

"Moreover, there isn't just one dangerous vampire, but two! As it stands, one of them is likely the culprit behind the recent cases, and my husband Richard might... might have been killed by him; the other is the vampire that the Su family gave us before, who was rescued, and it's possible that the vampire was responsible."

“If both vampires are here, I can’t take any risks, so I must invite the Su family, and even hope that the Su family will bring his vampires, so that we can ensure our safety and the safety of others.”

"The Su family's ability, which is the same ninjutsu that Elena and Caroline also know, is also a guarantee against vampires."

Yes, Carol knew that Sue knew ninjutsu, and she also knew that Elena was learning ninjutsu. After all, Caroline's mother, Liz, knew, and Elena's parents also knew. Although others hadn't witnessed it firsthand, they didn't doubt that it was a supernatural power capable of dealing with vampires.

Loganfeld scoffed. "So what do we do now? Even if we know the vampires are here, we can't identify them. Isn't it all for nothing?"

Carol shook her head: "No, it wasn't a wasted effort. At least we now know that vampires did infiltrate the party, and Liz will investigate any unfamiliar or suspicious people at the party. Besides, the vampires didn't really come just to the party; they must have other purposes."

"If we keep a close eye on things, we should be able to follow the clues and find the vampire. Also, although we can't determine who the vampire is or when he arrived, we can use the pocket watch to determine when he left."

"This way, we can still determine the vampire's identity. After all, our goal is simply to find out the vampire's identity, not to eliminate him today!"

As soon as Carol finished speaking, the hands of the pocket watch, which had been swaying incessantly, suddenly stopped and pointed motionless in a certain direction.

The change in the hands of the pocket watch instantly excited the committee members. They followed the direction of the hands to the window and looked out. The hands were pointing directly at Jessica, who was coming out of the villa and walking towards Sue and Elena, who were sitting on the lawn bench.

"The pointer is pointing at Jessica, which means... the vampire we're looking for has already left the pocket watch's detection range."

Carroll quickly took out her phone and called Liz to inquire about the situation and see if she had noticed any suspicious targets among the people who had just left.

Liz is certainly capable of becoming the police chief. Moreover, because of Caroline, she knows more about the Sue family and Jessica than others. Simply put, she probably knows more about vampires and is better at identifying hidden vampires.

“There was this suspicious guy named Damon. He was a new face, I don’t remember him. He came with Amber Bradley, and they just left five minutes ago.” Liz finished speaking and asked in return, “Do you remember him? Vampires can’t come in without their master’s invitation. Think back to when he came, was there anything unusual about him?”

Carole thought back and did remember Damon, but with so many people coming and going, she hadn't noticed anything unusual when she invited Damon in.

"The vampire has left. Whether this Damon is the vampire we're looking for or not, we can't be sure now. Let's discuss it again after the party."

"it is good."

Although it's impossible to confirm that Damon is the vampire they're looking for, at least they have a suspect, and confirming it will be easy.

You can ask Amber Bradley to confirm Damon's identity, or try to find out Damon's whereabouts or address. Then you can use the magic pocket watch to determine if Damon is a vampire.

Lawn, benches.

Su rolled her eyes, slowly stood up, and said to Jessica, "Call Vicky, let's go home."

Jessica nodded and sent a message to Vicky. Not long after, Vicky came over, told Elena, and then Sue left with Jessica and Vicky.

As for Elena, she will definitely go home with her parents.

Under the dim night sky, the three members of the Su family, who had walked a distance, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return home. Half an hour later, Su, who had just finished showering and changed into her home clothes, heard a knock on the door and saw Stefan standing outside.

She walked over, opened the door, and Sue didn't invite Stefan in: "Is there something you need?"

Stefan said in a deep voice, "The party just now was a trap. The committee's purpose is to investigate vampires. They have already identified and begun to suspect Damon."

It's normal for Stefan to know about this, after all, his nephew Zach is also a member of the committee and even provides verbena to the committee. If Damon's identity is exposed, Zach will definitely be implicated.

Of course, Zach would be more than happy for Damon's identity to be exposed and for Damon to be killed. After all, Damon is not friendly to him at all. If he finds out that he planted verbena, he will definitely kill him without hesitation.

Although he now has the protection of the Su family, it only protects Zach himself, so Zach definitely wants to deal with Damon.

However, once Damon's identity is exposed, Stefan's identity can no longer be hidden. To Zack, Damon is the devil, while Stefan is family. Therefore, Zack will tell Stefan about this and hopes that Stefan can find a way to deal with Damon and avoid being implicated.

"And then?" Su looked at Stefan: "Why did you come to me after Damon's identity was exposed? It wasn't me who exposed his identity, and he's not one of my people."

Stefan said, "I know, I... I hope you can help me think of a way to get Damon out of here, or... lock him up?"

Chapter 415 Car Wash Festival: Su's Reward?

Stefan's approach of seeking help from the Su family is correct. Whether it's to deal with Damon or to help Damon, the Su family is currently the only one who can easily do so.

Stefan and Damon are two extremes; one likes to talk, and the other likes to act.

Because he doesn't drink human blood, Stefan is no match for Damon and is somewhat helpless against him, so he can only rely on external forces.

Getting Damon out of Mystic Falls or locking him up would be easy for Sue; the question is, why would he do it?

He also wanted to see Damon's reaction when he went through all the trouble of breaking the seal, only to find out he'd been tricked and Catherine hadn't been inside all along.

Besides, he understood the principle of nurturing enemies to enhance his own importance. Only with vampires like Damon around would the committee focus its attention on them. Su was not afraid of the committee causing trouble for him, but there was no need for it. Wouldn't it be better for him to use that energy to drink coffee and bask in the sun?

Stefan couldn't offer anything that would interest him. Did he really expect me to help him with just a few words? I'm not a babysitter.

Most importantly, Stefan and Damon are not the Winston brothers. First of all, they don't have the status of the Winston brothers as chosen ones, nor do they play at a high level. Secondly, they don't have any deep relationship with each other, they can't even be considered friends. So why should they get involved?

If it were Damon Sue who came, perhaps we could consider it, since Damon is ruthless and can be useful in certain situations.

Stefan?

He couldn't kill anyone, even if you asked him to.

"Go back, I won't help you with this." Su refused outright, slamming the door shut and turning to go upstairs to rest after turning off the lights.

Stefan hesitated, then turned and left in frustration.

……

Although small, Mysterious Waterfall Town is complete in every way. Despite its small size, it offers a wide variety of activities.

The founder's family party had just ended, and the school was about to hold a sexy car wash festival. Su received an invitation call from the principal. On the one hand, he was a member of the school's board of directors, and on the other hand, the principal wanted to get closer to him.

Moreover, the car wash festival is a fundraising event, which can enrich students' hands-on skills, unleash their potential, provide a lively event, and raise funds at the same time. Why not do it?

Well, I have to say the teaching methods are indeed different; there are so many extracurricular activities.

Mr. Su will definitely participate in this kind of activity. On the one hand, he does have a car that needs washing, and on the other hand, as a school board member, he should definitely take the lead in supporting the school's activities. As for whether he believes it or not? Hehe, as long as he believes it himself, that's fine.

The weather was perfect; the day of the car wash festival was clear blue skies, sunny and breezy, with lively music playing in the air. A huge homemade banner hung high, displaying the words "Sexy Car Wash Festival" in various colors and fonts.

At first glance, Su felt as if she had entered a water park or a beach. Cars were parked there, and men and women dressed in light clothing were working together to wash them. There were also people responsible for recording and collecting payments next to the cars.

Laughter and playful banter filled the air, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

At the donation counter, Caroline was explaining to Elena: "No discounts, no freebies, no credit. We're not doing charity!"

Elena nodded in agreement: "No, absolutely not!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap, filled the air as a sports car drove into the venue under the watchful eyes of the crowd. As soon as it stopped, several girls rushed up to it.

"The Su family has arrived."

Although the people inside the car hadn't gotten out yet, there was only one person in Mysterious Falls who owned such a sports car, making it difficult to mistake one for another.

The sports car's roof slowly lowered and retracted. Su, wearing a pair of large sunglasses, got out of the car with a smile and waved and nodded to the scantily clad girls around her.

The scene was like a big star being mobbed by fans, making the surrounding boys extremely envious and jealous.

Su waved to Elena, and after Elena came over with her tools, Su tossed her the keys, smiled and looked her over a few times, then walked toward Caroline at the donation counter.

"Is Chairman Su here to inspect the work?" Caroline asked with a smile, making a joke.

Su chuckled and shook her head, looking around as she said, "No, I came to see the beautiful women."

Caroline pouted: "All the most beautiful women are around you, what's so interesting about the others?"

Ms. Su smiled and took out $50,000: "This is for the car wash. The rest can be used as a perk for the event. We'll find a place and have a meal together afterward."

· ····Requesting flowers·· ······

"So much?" Caroline was taken aback for a moment, then carefully put the notes away and shouted loudly to the surroundings, "President Su has sponsored $50,000! After the event, everyone will have a dinner together!"

Caroline's shout caused an uproar, with a cacophony of howls, shouts, cheers, and expressions of gratitude erupting all around.

First of all, the participants in this event are considered volunteers and will not receive any income. Secondly, the Su family is indeed very generous. After all, such fundraising events may not even raise a few thousand US dollars in the end, but the Su family directly put out fifty thousand US dollars for a dinner party. How could they not be excited?

Su gestured with her hand, then laughed and announced loudly, "Don't say I, as an honorary board member, don't support you. The person who washes the most cars after the event will receive a personal reward of ten thousand US dollars in event funds. Ladies, don't you want to treat yourselves to some beautiful clothes and bags? Gentlemen, don't you want to buy yourselves a pair of designer sneakers or a gift for your girlfriends?"

... ......... .......

"miss you!"

The response was resounding and perfectly synchronized.

Mrs. Su laughed heartily: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started washing!"

Caroline stared in astonishment at her classmates who had suddenly become so energetic, exclaiming, "Wow!"

As the organizer, she was well aware that this kind of activity was full of contradictions. Although it was all about washing cars, there were differences between good cars and bad cars, clean cars and dirty cars. Who wouldn't want to wash a good car? Who would want to wash a dirty car?

Now, nobody cares about these anymore, because there are too few cars and too many people. Cleanliness doesn't matter, as long as you can wash as many cars as possible!

Bonnie had just assigned a dirty and dilapidated car to a girl named Titch, and Titch was dissatisfied and even mocked the car owner.
