The silver Bentley entered the bustling city of Los Angeles and reduced its speed.
Pedestrians on the roadside were attracted by the latest model of sports car. Even though this was Los Angeles, not many people could afford such a good car.
It was just like how most of the world's money was concentrated in the hands of a small number of people!
Mo Luo in the car didn't pay attention to the gazes of the pedestrians outside. He picked up the flip phone on the side and dialed a number.
Speaking of which, the timeline of this world was a bit blurry. Because of his years of demon hunting, Mo Luo had seen people who didn't even know about mobile phones, and he had also experienced the technologically advanced metropolis of New York. The contrast made Mo Luo feel a little confused about time at first.
The ringtone Gimme More, a popular song now, rang a few times before the call was answered. A low, magnetic male voice followed.
“Hey, Mo Luo, are you here yet?”
“I’m already in downtown Los Angeles. Where are you now? Give me a location.”
The voice on the other side of the phone paused for a few seconds before ringing again.
“I’m at Beverly Hills. Just drive over here.”
At that moment, a slightly lazy, charming female voice also came from the phone.
“Honey, who are you talking to?”
“Oh, dear Shakira, it’s my cousin. I need him for something.”
Inside the luxurious two-story villa, John Constantine lay on a messy big bed, hugging the glamorous female singer in his arms. She was completely naked.
The female singer Shakira simply nodded and continued to lie down to sleep.
After all, the craziness from last night really made her lack the energy to organize a welcome ceremony.
Mo Luo in the South Zone listened to their conversation, twitched the corner of his mouth, replied to John that he understood, and then hung up the phone.
Mo Luo was sincerely impressed by John's pickup skills. After all, a guy who was poor as a church mouse, relying only on his mouth and his face to seduce a female singer, was really skilled.
…………
Mo Luo put down his phone and drove for over an hour before arriving at Beverly Hills. As soon as he got out of the car, Mo Luo saw several luxury cars whose prices were no less than his Bentley. But that was expected, after all, this was the dreamland in the hearts of rich people all over the world.
It was the place that those “two-legged dogs” (dogs with two legs) that he used to know had always yearned for in their fantasies!
Mo Luo only took a few glances before striding towards the mansion area. The detached villas here were not too close to each other, but there were quite a few of them.
However, as Mo Luo walked along, he saw that many of the villas were actually empty. But being empty was actually correct. After all, true wealthy families didn’t care for these villas, and those who wanted to live in these villas rarely had the means to do so.
After passing by several more villas, Mo Luo finally reached his destination.
Looking at the villa with its Colombian style, Mo Luo didn't hesitate and walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, it rang a few times.
The white double wooden doors were pushed open, and Mo Luo saw John, with his clothes in disarray, walking out with a toothbrush in his mouth.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Mo Luo also raised an eyebrow and asked.
“You consumed quite a bit last night, didn’t you? I wonder if you have the energy to find your friend's daughter today.”
“You little rascal, you dare tease me? Your brother is only 32 years old this year, in the prime of his life! Don’t think that just because it’s one girl, even if a bunch of succubi came, I could still take them down!”
John boasted with an air of mysterious confidence.
If Mo Luo hadn’t seen the other party holding his waist with one hand, he almost believed his lies.
Indeed, men spend their entire lives trying to prove their strength in this area!
After a few jabs at each other, they entered the villa.
After entering, Mo Luo sat down on the sofa without any hesitation, with one leg on the table in front of him. He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then exhaled a smoke ring before looking at John who was fixing his clothes in the mirror.
“I said, John, how’s the investigation into my parents' matter going?”
John paused his action of fixing his hair when he heard Mo Luo's words, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his handsome face.
Seeing this, Mo Luo was sure that the matter was not simple.
Mo Luo knew it would be like this. After all, in his memory, his mother, Mary Constantine, was a witch with power close to the fifth tier. Even if a plane crashed, it wouldn’t be able to hurt her.
After all, those who reached the third tier had already transcended the concept of ordinary people, completing a leap in life.
Powerful fourth-tier individuals could easily withstand a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades. Those even more powerful fifth-tier beings could withstand an intercontinental ballistic missile and destroy a city with their strength alone.
…………
After a long silence, John finally spoke with a heavy voice about the facts he knew.
“Actually, I already investigated before you told me about this. At that time, I wasn’t sure, but these years of experience have made me understand a lot.”
John looked at Mo Luo seriously and asked.
“Little brother, do you believe in the existence of gods?”
“What nonsense! If there weren’t any gods, how would those church people fight demons?”
Mo Luo rolled his eyes and looked at John with a “you’re an idiot” expression.
Being looked at like that, John scratched his head awkwardly and continued, no longer beating around the bush.
“You should know whose territory this land used to be, right?”
Before Mo Luo could answer, John continued, “Based on my years of investigation, I’ve discovered a terrifying secret. The gods of this world are awakening.
I don’t know how they fell asleep or how their power disappeared, but now they’ve begun to awaken. I think you’ve also felt the energy in the world surging and increasing?”
Mo Luo nodded. He naturally knew the history, but he still asked incomprehensibly.
“But what does this have to do with my parents’ death?”
John smiled at the corners of his mouth, putting on a mysterious expression, and said.
“Kid, you’re still too young. The connection between the two is huge!
Based on my years of investigation, I’ve discovered that after the Anglo-Saxons came to this land, they began to slaughter the Native Americans.
However, one of the seventh-tier grand priests among the Native Americans, after hundreds of thousands of his people died, used his own life and soul to cast a vicious curse.
Any outsider on this land would be harvested for life and soul by their Death God.
It was this vicious curse and the soul of that grand priest that awakened the sleeping Death God, Ah Puch, ahead of schedule!
This guy is one of the Nine Associated Gods in the Mayan pantheon. Although his power has not fully recovered, it’s still something that ordinary people can’t reach.
Moreover, with him harvesting the lives of those of non-Native American blood in various states of America over the years, his power has returned to the level of a demigod.
If you want to kill him, you have to do it before the gods fully recover, otherwise, once he recovers, your chances will be slim. After all, once he recovers, his strength will be that of a true middle-tier god.”
Hearing this, Mo Luo was silent for a while. Although he himself had once reached the level of a demigod, with his current strength, he couldn’t possibly fight a demigod.
But what would happen in the future was uncertain. After all, he was no longer the naive fool he used to be, and with a two-in-one cheat, even if it was a god, he was confident that he could crush them.
Then, Mo Luo looked at John with a determined look and a smile at the corners of his mouth, filled with confidence.
“I understand. I’ll handle this myself. After all, I’m quite confident in myself.”
As he said this, he laughed lightly, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Seeing that his younger brother was not discouraged, John let out a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that this matter would damage Mo Luo’s confidence. That’s why he only told Mo Luo about this after all these years.
Then, John came to Mo Luo’s side, patted him on the shoulder.
“Kid, just have confidence. Anyway, there will be so many gods awakening at that time. In the worst case scenario, we can just bring in a few gods who are against Ah Puch to gang up on him!”
Listening to John’s comforting words, Mo Luo felt a little touched, but he couldn’t help but laugh, because this guy’s comforting skills were really bad. But that was in line with Constantine’s personality.
“Never mind that, you said you wanted to find a friend’s daughter today, right? Aren’t we going now?”
Mo Luo pointed to the wall clock on the wall, which clearly showed the ten-thirty mark.
John looked up and his mood wasn’t good, and he started swearing.
“Shit, we have to go quickly. Maybe that guy’s daughter is really in danger!”
