Running A Cemetery in North America

"Master Park Duanji, Mr. Pu's cause of death is too peculiar, and now we must rely entirely on Mr. Jackson to help us investigate thoroughly. It's better to be polite to him."

Seeing the young man's poor attitude toward Sun Yan, Cui Yuanxi quickly reminded him in the Peninsula language.

"We don't need him. After my second and third uncles heard the news, they are already on their way to North America. Everything that follows will be handled by them. Let these exorcists leave." Park Duanji said unceremoniously, issuing an eviction order to Sun Yan.

Although the KOR Group ranks ninth in asset market value on the Southern Peninsula, it is not solely Mr. Park Guochang's group.

In reality, KOR is a family-owned company, with Park Guochang's second and third brothers also controlling some significant internal business and major projects.

Even if Park Guochang dies unexpectedly, except for the news impacting KOR Group's shares slightly, there won't be any other disturbances.

It's said whoever sits in the position doesn't matter.

Sun Yan gave Park Duanji a meaningful look and politely smiled, "Since that's the case, we'll leave first. Secretary Cui, if there's anything, you can call me."

With that said, Sun Yan took Elise and left the villa.

"Are we still going to help this family investigate Mr. Park Guochang's cause of death?" Elise asked curiously.

"Of course not, unless someone is going to pay me for it. Why would I enthusiastically do it? Our cemetery is not a charity organization."

Sun Yan shook his head, laughing, "This time we earned 500,000 US Dollars. I'll find a chance to take you out for a trip, anywhere in East Asia, Northern Europe, Africa, you name it. I'll cover the expenses."

Even in this day and age, 500,000 US Dollars is not a small amount, enough for Sun Yan to take two cemetery members for a nice leisure trip.

"Father Jackson."

At this moment, the previously absent Joles suddenly rushed over and walked to Sun Yan's side, saying seriously, "Please answer the phone. Lady Hermione wants to talk to you."

"Lady Hermione? Who?"

"That's Mr. Pu's current wife, the biological mother of the child."

Sun Yan politely greeted on the phone, "Hello, I'm Jackson."

On the other end, a graceful and intelligent voice slowly sounded, "Father Jackson, I already know about the situation in Los Angeles, and I'm grateful you saved my child.

But now a more dangerous situation has occurred. Can I commission you for another task, 100,000 US Dollars."

Sun Yan glanced at Joles, as expected from a wealthy wife, casually offering 100,000 US Dollars in no time.

"Lady Hermione, could you first tell me about the task? I'll decide whether to accept it based on the situation."

"Very simple, help me send my child to Fengka Town. However, you might encounter people trying to assassinate you along the way, and I can't guarantee how dangerous it might be."

Sun Yan immediately said speechlessly, "Oh shit, Lady Hermione, this kind of task is more suitable for your house guards to handle."

"Mr. Jackson, your pursuers are not mere armed opponents but individuals with dangerous capabilities similar to your exorcism ability. If it were just ordinary foes, I wouldn't think of troubling you,

my husband's death was not a common accident but an inside setup. The bodyguards alone cannot safely escort my child to Fengka Town, and now I can only trust you, alas..."

Lady Hermione sighed, making Sun Yan curious.

Apparently, the previous news about her vacationing in Hawaii was a smoke screen and not true.

She should currently be in this Fengka Town, but as to why she's there, Sun Yan does not know.

Yet, even unable to return for her child's possession, Lady Hermione must be handling something big in Fengka Town.

At that moment, Sun Yan's notebook in his pocket suddenly vibrated lightly.

A new task has arrived!

——

Timed Task[Escape Journey]23:59:57

Task difficulty: ★★ (Perilous)

Task Overview: On the way to Fengka Town, countless dangers lurk, and a group of mysterious power wielders are secretly plotting an evil plan. This is not only an adventure but an exploration.

Task Requirements: Escort the Park family 'infant' safely to Fengka Town and hand the child over to Franka Hermione.

Task Reward: Tomb Guardian

——

"Whoa... fuck..."

Sun Yan couldn't help but utter a prolonged curse, having waited so long and completed numerous tasks; finally, the Tomb Guardian reward appeared again.

Among all the tasks completed by Sun Yan, the Tomb Guardian reward was the hardest to come by.

It means his graveyard will gain an Immortal statue and some handy assistance divine powers.

Regarding assistance divine powers, that's something belonging solely to Sun Yan.

Even if someone stole all his magical artifacts, they couldn't take the assistance divine powers.

No matter what Tomb Guardian he draws at that time, regardless of status or background, even if it's just a small god from the Underworld, it would certainly be useful.

"Lady Hermione, I accept your commission."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Sun Yan resolutely agreed to the commission.

The 100,000 US Dollars reward is not the most important; it's all about the Tomb Guardian.

"Great, I'll let Joles and a few people escort you to Fengka Town. If anyone intercepts you on the way, it's all up to you then."

After hanging up, Sun Yan returned the phone to Joles.

Looking at Joles, who brought the opportunity for Sun Yan to converse with Lady Hermione, Sun Yan smiled, "It seems you're not serving Park Guochang. You have another loyalty, Joles."

Joles nodded apologetically, "Sorry, Father Jackson, I didn't tell you the truth; actually... "

"Hey, bring the child out. We can talk on the road, as this place is not private," Sun Yan interrupted his explanation, gesturing.

It seems the whole ordeal of Joles pulling him from the graveyard to Los Angeles connected Sun Yan to a hidden web.

Park Guochang, Park Duanji, Franka Hermione, and the Ikegawa Family, the peculiar Sacred Statue of the Kami Izaehira—all are part of this web.

As for their true purpose and the conflicts arising, and now one is dead.

The answers seem possible only after reaching Fengka Town.

Before that, his task is to safely escort the infant to Fengka Town, even if the journey is perilous.

"Alright."

Joles nodded and returned to the villa, then came out with eight bodyguards.

He held a baby carrier containing Mr. Park Guochang's child.

The bodyguards pulled out a Range Rover, a Lincoln Navigator, and an Audi RS6 from the garage, and Sun Yan and Elise directly joined Joles and the child in the Range Rover.

Swiftly drove out of the villa and headed rapidly outside of Los Angeles City.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the villa, Park Duanji stood behind the bedroom window, staring coldly at the departing convoy.

He pulled out a phone from his pocket and made a call.

"They've already taken the child, start the action. They're likely heading to see Hermione, that woman. Since Park Guochang shared the secret of that item and settled in Los Angeles,

there's no way he could continue controlling it; it must have fallen into the hands of those Americans. Hermione is the key to finding that item.

Follow them and snatch the child back. Only when he's in our hands can we threaten the woman to disclose the location of that item.

Don't worry, Mr. Ikegawa. You helped me dispose of my biased father. Now the KOR Group will soon be in my control. Our partnership will become unbreakable.

Good things will surely be shared together, and the feud between the Park Family and Ikegawa Family will turn into a peace treaty in our generation... Happy cooperation!"
