The town of Sali is not big.

In fact, to say it is a town is to say it is too big, because the population of Shali Town is far less than the rural population outside the suburbs of third-tier cities in the East.

But this is normal.

The federation.

There are too many people seeking death, and over time, the number of people will naturally decrease.

However, there are advantages to having fewer people.

Few people means no secrets.

Like now.

Less than five minutes after Luke entered the town, the police officer arrived. By the time the police officer took Luke to the only Tesco supermarket in the town, beautiful Heather Miller had already learned from her colleagues. At the same time, he received news that a young-looking acting director of the FBI was on his way to find him.

soon.

When Luke opened the door of the police car and stepped out, Heather Miller, who had put on a smoky make-up today, also opened the door and walked out of the supermarket.

Eyes facing each other.

The moment Heather captured Luke's figure, a look of surprise flashed on her face.

The next second.

This expression was quickly hidden by Heather.

Heather pursed her lips. Under Luke's gaze, she came to Luke with a calm expression as if nothing was wrong. Then, she raised her chin slightly and looked at Luke, who was a head taller than her.

"How did you come."

"miss you."

Luke, who has always liked to go straight to the point and be simple and rude, made no exception this time. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Heather in front of him with a smile: "Besides, I think you need me now."

Heather laughed.

"I don't need you."

"Yeah?"

When Lu Ke heard this, he shrugged, turned around and left: "Then I'll go."

Heather raised her eyebrows and grabbed Luke: "Don't leave."

Luke stopped, turned around again, and looked at Heather with a smile.

"Okay, if you say you won't leave, I won't leave."

"..."

Heather looked at Luke with a smirk on his face and opened his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, he noticed the glances coming from all around.

Turn around and look.

Colleagues in the supermarket, at this moment, are like curious babies, wanting to put their ears against the supermarket glass.

Heather came back to her senses and looked at Luke again.

"Wait me a moment."

"good."

Luke smiled and nodded, watching Heather turn around and run into the supermarket again like Feng'er. Then, with a smile on his face, he nodded to the town residents who were watching here without any stage fright, ignoring the town residents. He looked at himself.

Because sizing up is mutual.

While the residents of the town were sizing him up, he was also sizing up the residents of the town.

The power of the golden soul made the depths of Luke's eyes shrouded in gold. Looking around, except for the mediocre police officers in the town next to him, there were one after another. It can be said that the residents of this small town of Shali, The top one can be regarded as Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

After a while, after changing clothes and asking for leave from the supermarket manager in the name of her boyfriend's arrival, Heather walked out of the supermarket with her bag on her back. Then, under the watchful eyes of the town residents, she took Lu Ke, just walking towards home in a swaggering manner.

ten minutes later.

Heather took Luke to his home, where the Millers lived.

The moment Luke entered the room, he locked his eyes on a middle-aged, somewhat stout, sloppy man lying on the sofa with his belly open, drinking Lone Star beer.

This should be Mr. Miller.

And sitting aside, staring at the middle-aged woman with blond wavy hair, there is no doubt that she is Mrs. Miller.

When the Millers saw Luke coming in behind Heather, their expressions did not show any surprise. They seemed to have known about Luke's arrival.

Again.

There are few people in the town and there are no secrets.

But Zhigui knew that the Millers were not very enthusiastic about Luke's arrival. They didn't even lift their buttocks from the sofa. They just glanced at Luke and then withdrew their gaze.

Even after Heather introduced each other, the Millers remained the same, focusing on one, a rebellious resident of the Lone Star State.

Heather opened her mouth, said something to Luke, indicating that she would go up and get the things, let Luke sit for a while, and then ran upstairs slowly.

After Heather went upstairs, Luke withdrew his gaze, and then his eyes fell on a Jesus cross ornament on the fireplace in the living room.

He looked at it very seriously, and it could even be said that he was in a trance.

Mr. Miller, who was lying on the sofa, looked at Heather, who seemed to be a rebellious character since she went upstairs, completely ignoring them. Luke, who was looking at the furnishings in the home, and Miller, who was sitting aside with his head buried in a sweater. The ladies looked at each other.

Mrs. Miller received the signal, put down the sweater in her hand, coughed, and stood up to ask Luke.

"Would you like some tea?"

"No, is there any wine?"

Luke withdrew his gaze from the cross ornament, turned around, looked at Mrs. Miller who spoke out, and responded with a smile.

"beer?"

"Can."

Lu Ke welcomes anyone, and as long as there is no bourbon, any alcohol will do.

Mrs. Miller smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the restaurant, preparing to take out a glass of frozen Lone Star beer from the refrigerator for Luke.

Mr. Miller, who was lying on the sofa, still maintained his free and easy attitude, looking at what Luke was wearing: "So, rich people."

Luke smiled slightly, walked to the coffee table in front of the sofa, stretched out his hand to pull out a seat, and after sitting down, he looked at Mr. Miller on the sofa: "It's not rich, but, help Heather pay the inheritance tax." There is still money.”

Since Daniel Whitehorse's estate took over, Earl and Debbie's drastic reforms have barely succeeded in allowing these assets to form a certain income cycle.

In addition to Luke's salary at the FBI and some extra money, Luke's cash flow barely exceeded 10 million last month.

Of course.

After receiving the ten million, the first thing Lu Ke did was to pay back the New Year's money he borrowed from Lorna.

After hearing what Luke said, Mr. Miller chuckled, flattened the empty beer bottle in his hand, and then got up from the sofa: "So, you are here specifically to help Heather pay the inheritance tax. So that she can inherit the legacy of the demon family."

In the Federation, inheritance does not mean that you can inherit it if you want to.

There is something to say.

Only death and taxes are inevitable.

If you want to inherit an inheritance, you will also need a large amount of tax.

And the more you inherit, the more inheritance tax you pay.

Another point.

Each federal state has different inheritance tax regulations, but most of them require you to pay the tax before you are eligible to receive the inheritance.

What?

No money to pay taxes.

Then I'm sorry, you haven't paid taxes, so what inheritance will you inherit?

Of course.

In this process, in order to obtain tax revenue, the IRS usually turns a blind eye and allows tax payment and inheritance to proceed simultaneously.

The premise is that the people will not take action!

But the Millers were obviously not such people. After a lawyer came to Heather and told her that she could inherit the estate left by her grandmother in Silent Hill, the Millers made a phone call to the IRS and told someone Plan to inherit an inheritance before paying inheritance tax.

IRS agents arrived on the scene quickly.

When the lawyer saw this, he was helpless.

Heather was even more helpless. After a big fight with the Millers, when talking to Luke on the phone, Heather complained that she didn’t understand why the Millers had hidden it from her all these years. She also had a grandmother, and even Currently trying to prevent her from inheriting the inheritance.

Of course.

Heather did not ask Luke to borrow money on the phone, nor did Luke take the initiative to mention it.

The reason why he came here was not only because he missed Heather, but also because he missed Heather.

There is no second reason.

Um.

The most important thing.

Heather could take it, but he couldn't deny it.

Luke looked calm and looked at Mr. Miller sitting on the sofa opposite with a smile: "She is my woman."

He has always been very generous towards his women.

As everyone knows.

No matter what they want, as long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, Luke will always try his best to satisfy them.

This time is no exception.

After hearing Luke's very calm words, Mr. Miller changed his indifference and lowered his voice, as if his voice was squeezed out from the crack of the door that was about to close: "She is still my daughter, an outsider. "

Lu Ke smiled when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, there were footsteps from the stairs.

Turn around and look.

Heather had already walked down the stairs carrying a travel bag and came to the living room. She looked at Mr. Miller with some complicated and incomprehensible eyes: "I don't understand why you are still hiding it now." I, I just want to know where I come from and who I am."

Mr. Miller glanced at Heather and said nothing.

Mrs. Miller fetched two bottles of Lone Star beer in cans. After listening to Heather's words, she looked at Heather and said, "We are the ones who raised you. It's enough for you to know this."

Heather was a little crazy.

She felt that this conversation seemed familiar.

correct.

Just the day after she saw the lawyer, such a conversation seemed to have happened once.

Heather was a little confused, glanced at Luke, and then looked at the Millers: "I want to listen to the truth, otherwise, I will inherit the inheritance now. You should know that my boyfriend is here, and there is nothing you can do." Preventing me from inheriting the inheritance.”

Luke, who was sitting on a chair and had just taken the Lone Star beer from Mrs. Miller, listened to Heather's words, then looked at Heather's gaze, smiled, and said nothing.

Again.

He never gets involved in other people's family affairs unless absolutely necessary.

Mr. Miller, who was sitting on the sofa and opened a bottle of beer again, listened to the ultimatum from Heather and looked at Heather expressionlessly.

"What truth can I tell you?"

"Tell you, are your original family members a group of demons from hell?"
