American Comics: BOSS Invasion

In New York, there's almost nothing that money can't accomplish.

The only difference is the amount of money spent and the length of time it takes.

When Qi Shan took action, he only needed to expend a little money, plus a little suggestive language to guide them.

He didn't even directly use illusion magic; the other party had already instantly changed their mind, even thinking they were following their own original intentions.

With $30,000 in hand, no matter how much needed to be taken out, the guidance counselor's share was indispensable, so she was very excited.

After all, opportunities like this to earn extra money are hard to come by.

A few minutes later, Linda, holding a pink teddy bear and carrying a small schoolbag, appeared in front of Qi Shan.

The moment she saw Qi Shan, little Linda, who had been expressionless, widened her eyes and then rushed over with a shout.

"Daddy!"

Qi Shan hugged her tightly, and the little girl burst into tears.

Her small body was like a frightened little animal, curled up entirely in Qi Shan's arms, her body shaking constantly as she cried.

She was so aggrieved that words couldn't even describe it.

Qi Shan's heart was also filled with mixed feelings.

Although he knew that this little girl was just the daughter of this body and had nothing to do with him.

But seeing her wholehearted reliance and trust, even a hard-hearted person like Qi Shan couldn't help but be touched.

A small life is completely dependent on you to live; you have to become strong to protect her.

Is this what it feels like to be a parent?

Qi Shan felt lost in his heart.

Was his life a little too empty?

Every day, he was immersed in developing power, expanding influence, or choosing which plane to adventure in.

Including that girl in the X-Men plane.

Holding this little girl, Qi Shan had the urge to settle down for the first time.

What was going on?

Could it be that this body still retained emotions that were enough to affect him?

No, that's impossible!

Not to mention that this body was already dead; even if he were still alive, after Qi Shan possessed him and used immortal chakra to transform him inside and out, he would already be vastly different from the original skinny body.

Perhaps I…

Qi Shan closed his eyes and buried the thought that had just emerged in his heart.

The little girl cried for a while, and her emotions finally calmed down a bit. She sniffled and began to speak intermittently.

"Daddy, where did you and Mommy go? Why didn't you come to find me? I'm so scared. There are strangers everywhere. They don't let me go out. I can only play with toys for a little while every day and have to read and learn to write.

Teacher Lily's face is so scary. She's really fierce. But Alice is very nice, and Duka is also very nice. We've become good friends.

The cafeteria food is so bad. Why do I have to eat it all clean… Why didn't Mommy come…"

Qi Shan stroked her little head, listening to her speak slower and slower until she fell asleep.

Taking out a handkerchief, he wiped away the tears on the little girl's face, held her in a comfortable position, and Qi Shan nodded to the dean and the guidance counselor, saying earnestly: "Thank you!"

No matter what happens in the future, Qi Shan has now regarded the little girl as his own daughter.

After leaving the orphanage, Qi Shan went to Locke's house.

As he had guessed, after three months without news, the bank had already taken back the house and re-auctioned it.

Now this property has a new owner.

Qi Shan just glanced at it from a distance, then called Lass and drove directly back to Noah's villa.

Now that he had taken over the other party's identity, some trivial matters had to be cleared up.

In the following days, Qi Shan received a high-limit credit card from Noah.

All bills would go directly through the environmental recycling company's account. Although Qi Shan didn't have a penny in his name, it didn't affect his ability to spend money.

In the next few days, Qi Shan went to the police station, found the two policemen who had initially appeared, and briefly explained the current situation.

Although they were still asking if he remembered more things, he brushed them off with a few words.

Using some language guidance, he directly asked where his wife's body was.

Because this case had attracted the attention of the higher-ups, the body had been kept in the police station's morgue and had not been buried to date.

Qi Shan signed a few names and took the body away.

Later, Noah found a funeral company and entrusted them to handle everything.

About a week later, a Catholic-style funeral was held at the central cathedral in the Manhattan area.

Qi Shan checked his connections and family relationships and found that both Frank and Fiona were orphans.

Frank was an only child and had no relatives.

Fiona had an older sister, but she couldn't be contacted at all.

So, besides the service staff and church personnel, the most people who came to the funeral were colleagues from the environmental recycling company.

These people didn't know the truth and thought Fiona had really died in a car accident, and they were somewhat saddened.

The little girl had been very clingy to Qi Shan these days. She couldn't understand what death was and was happy to see her mother.

Knowing that the entire process was over and most of the guests had gradually dispersed, Qi Shan took the little girl's hand and slowly walked to the coffin.

The little girl was wearing a black princess dress, her hair was neatly combed, and she quietly looked at her mother.

"Is she still there? Why can't I feel her?"

Qi Shan said softly, "Her soul has already left; what remains here is just a shell."

"Then why didn't she take her body with her?"

"Because it absorbed too much pain and sorrow; everything experienced in life has left its mark on the flesh."

"What will happen to her body then?"

"Fire will purify all the pain and make her soul go more lightly, like shedding a burden. Our stories are all written in flesh and blood, and all of this will enter heaven with her soul!"

"After the funeral is over, we will bury this box deep in the ground!" Qi Shan put his arm around the little girl's shoulder and said softly, "Say goodbye to Mommy now."

The little girl nodded as if she understood: "Goodbye, Mommy!"

Qi Shan took her little hand and slowly walked out of the church.

The sun shone on their faces, and the wind blew the fallen leaves straight into the sky.

The little girl was staring at the leaves, but Qi Shan's gaze fell on a yellow Chevrolet that was slowly driving by.

Qi Shan narrowed his eyes: Could it be the car I'm thinking of? No, it's impossible…

As he thought to himself, the Chevrolet had slowly parked by the side of the road, and a young man with a very familiar face got out of the car and walked towards the artificial lake opposite the church.

"Sam, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, Qi Shan's lips curled up.

He's jumped out!
