In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

At the same time, Carroll Lockwood screamed as he was thrown backward.

"Pfft!"

Carol Lockwood fell sprawled on the ground, blood trickling from his shoulder.

The specially made bullet, originally intended to kill Damon, was blown back and hit her instead.

The sudden turn of events startled everyone.

A black robe adorned with fiery clouds appeared in everyone's sight.

Kakuzu stood beside Damon, muttered a contemptuous curse under his breath, and then nodded slightly in greeting towards the Su family.

Finally, he looked at Carol Lockwood, who was being helped to his feet: "I'm sorry, you can't kill him yet. I've taken on a mission to help him break the seal on the tomb, so he can't die yet."

"The crystal that was originally used to open the tomb's seal is destroyed. Do you still have a way to open the seal?" Damon, who had been in despair, suddenly looked up at Kakuzu.

Kakuzu sneered, "If you can get a god to help, you can enter the tomb right now."

Just as Damon, whose hopes had been rekindled, was about to look at Su Shi, Kakuzu poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "It's a pity you can't! You should be glad I accepted the mission first, otherwise I wouldn't have taken on such a troublesome mission at all, it's too much of a waste of time."

"In other words, you have other ways!!!"

Without denying it, Damon, having regained hope, instantly got up, fully revitalized.

"You can't do this!" Liz couldn't help but shout, looking at Sue: "Sue, you can't let him do this! Once the seal on the tomb is broken, the town will be in danger!"

Sue looked at Liz calmly: "Will you interfere in everything Caroline does?"

Liz paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, she...she has the freedom to make her own choices. Even if I care about her, I can't control everything she does."

"Me too!"

"I train ninjas and pass on ninjutsu so that ninjutsu can flourish in this world and gain a place."

"The purpose is to give those who are dissatisfied with the status quo but lack the ability a chance to change their fate."

"The goal is to have more people stand up to face danger and save and protect more humanity when the world is about to be destroyed!"

While refusing, Su took the opportunity to promote his own ideas and stance.

His stance has never strayed from the right path. If a truly apocalyptic crisis were to occur, he would definitely fight on the side of humanity. For example, in the Apocalyptic War between the Wen brothers and Lucifer, he would definitely fight the Wen brothers.

Simply put, details can be based on personal preference, but the overall approach must be human-centered.

First of all, he is human. Secondly, his super-rich system relies on a normal and orderly human society. If money loses its original meaning one day, his system will inevitably be affected.

"To you, a few dozen vampires might be the end of the world for your town, but in the grand scheme of things, a few dozen vampires are nothing more than fleas that can be wiped out with a wave of the hand. They are nothing at all."

"When the Revelation arrives, the clarion call of doomsday sounds, and the war between light and darkness begins..."

"you……"

Su gave a half-smile and then fell silent.

At that moment, whether it was the ninjas from the Su family, Damon, or Carol Lockwood, their emotions inexplicably sank.

What has always been the label associated with the Su family?

A wealthy tycoon, the god of ninjas!

Although they are very strong and have a high status, their usual behavior and personality do not make them feel too much awe or a sense of distance.

For them, the Su family seemed more like they were playing around in life than carrying a heavy sense of mission.

But now they discover that beneath this carefree attitude lies a hidden ambition.

"When the Revelation arrives, the clarion call of doomsday sounds, and the war between light and darkness begins..."

This statement is somewhat heavy, especially when combined with his previous statements on principles and stances; it seems to be implying something.

It was as if some unknown apocalyptic crisis was about to occur in the near future.

"Ahem..." Just as everyone felt the atmosphere was becoming tense, Kakuzu suddenly coughed and looked at Liz and Carol Lockwood.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. My mission is just to open the seal on the tomb, so my previous suggestion still stands. I can help you eliminate the vampires in the tomb, and all you have to pay is a small amount of money."

……

P.S.: Here are some recommendations for my completed older books: *Marvel: The King Arrives*, *Zombie Contract: The Strongest Grim Reaper*, *Marvel: The Door-Door Fruit*, *American Comics: The Strongest Villain*, *KO One: The Strongest God of War*, and *I Have a Dimensional Street in Marvel*.

Chapter 430 The host and guest have changed; your victory or defeat depends on me, not you!

Kakuzu's words drew everyone's attention back. Although he was the one who was to break the seal and eliminate the vampires in the tomb, once people accepted that he had no personal stance on this matter and was driven solely by money, it didn't seem so hard to accept!

Two things, two tasks, there is indeed no conflict!

"Fifty million US dollars, and once the seal is broken, you can't harm the vampires inside. Are you in?"

Damon reacted very quickly. Since Kakuzu's goal was simply to make more money from this, whose money isn't money?

In any case, he had no stance or demands of his own on this matter; the key point was whose task he accepted first!

As long as Kakuzu accepts his own mission, once the seal on the tomb is broken, there's no need to worry about Kakuzu accepting other people's missions and harming Catherine.

"Give me the money within a week, along with the 50 million you already owe me. If I don't see the money, or if the money isn't enough, you're dead!" Kakuzu said coldly.

"and many more!"

Realizing what had happened, Carol Lockwood disregarded the past grudge caused by Kakuzu and hurriedly shouted, "Fifty million, a day! I can give you that in a day!"

"I hope you can wipe out all the vampires in the tomb!"

Kakuzu was somewhat tempted.

"One hundred million! One hundred million US dollars!" Damon hurriedly raised the price, doubling it immediately.

Carroll Lockwood hesitated.

Damon said smugly, "You should just give up. You can only raise money by selling your houses and land, while I only need to wink at a rich person, and no matter how much you offer, I can get more than you!"

Carole Lockwood took a deep breath and turned to look at the Su family, who had been watching the show: "Do you still stand by what you said before? I can assure you that I can definitely come up with assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if we Lockwoods don't have enough, there are other families in the town, and the entire Mysterious Falls!"

Ms. Su smiled and nodded.

Carol Lockwood looked at Kakuzu and said firmly, "You heard it too, the Su family is willing to lend me cash, one hundred million US dollars, I can give it to you very soon!"

"Your only goal is money, $150 million. Even if Damon can hypnotize rich people, how many can produce $150 million in cash within a week?"

"If he can't come up with the money or something unexpected happens, your money will be wasted."

"I'm different. I can get this money safely and quickly!"

It must be said that Carole Lockwood's ability to support her family, the committee, and even the town of Mysterious Falls after her husband's death is enough to prove her capabilities.

They discovered their strengths so quickly and made good use of them!

"I'll take your mission!" Kakuzu made his choice decisively.

Damon hesitated, wanting to try again, but he couldn't come up with the money in a short time. Besides, the Su family supported Carol Lockwood, which put him at a disadvantage.

"Forget it, we can only wait until the seal is broken before we can think of a solution. At worst, we'll risk our lives to get Catherine out of Mystic Falls and try to escape Kakuzu's pursuit."

As Damon was thinking this, he saw Sue take out her checkbook, write a check, and hand it to Richie.

After receiving the check, Ricky Neller walked over to Kakuzu and handed it to him. Kakuzu took the check, chuckled with satisfaction, and carefully put the check away from his body.

"That's all for today. I'll try my best to break the seal so we can complete your mission as soon as possible."

Kakuzu glanced at Damon, then turned and disappeared into the darkness with him.

The remaining people, Elena and Caroline took the frightened Bonnie home, Liz and the other police officers took Carol Lockwood to the hospital, and Sue also teleported back home with her people.

Night passed quietly.

For the rest of the town, this night was no different from any other night.

But for some, this night was one of sleepless nights!

Damon's emotions went through a rollercoaster ride, from hope to despair, and then back to renewed hope.

After leaving, Kakuzu parted ways with him, reminding him to raise the money as soon as possible before leaving.

For Carole Lockwood, it was another sleepless night. Her injuries weren't serious, but the $100 million debt left her with no desire to sleep.

She was taking stock of the family's assets, the town's available resources, and so on, trying her best to fill the $100 million in assets.

In a daze, she couldn't help but wonder why things had turned out this way.

How did a war between the committee and the vampires inexplicably turn into a 'money war'?

I didn't sleep all night, and what I was thinking about wasn't how to deal with the vampires, but how to raise money. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

· ····Requesting flowers·· ······

The reason is actually quite simple!

The committee, originally represented by Damon and Carole Lockwood, was hostile to each other, but the committee was relatively weak, so they brought in Sue.

They seized the power of the Su family and destroyed Damon.

Damon joined the Akatsuki organization and used its power to fight back.

In this way, the strength and situation of both sides became evenly matched again.

Whoever wants to win has to pay a higher price to appease the ninja faction, which symbolizes 'power'.

Simply put, they were playing well together, but suddenly a powerful guy appeared, and whoever he sided with won!

In this way, the two sides are no longer fighting over each other, but over this powerful guy.

.... 0 .......

Moreover, there's no way to avoid competing.

Because if you don't fight, you will be utterly defeated.

In the end, both sides paid a price far exceeding the original cost to continue the struggle until one side could no longer hold on.

To put it bluntly, the development of events is no longer up to them, but up to this powerful guy. You can't back out even if you want to!

Initially, Carole Lockwood's bounty for capturing Damon was only $300,000, but in just a few days, the reward for the mission has reached over $100 million. Isn't that terrifying?

The only one who made a fortune was Kakuzu!
