Seeing Saultana wolfing down her food like that, Roy knew she must have been working all night again. She looked visibly exhausted.
This made Roy feel a bit sorry for her.
"Saultana, if you're really too busy, why don't you take a break?"
Saultana swallowed the food in her mouth and then replied to Roy.
"I was just about to take a break! There's just no way around it, things have been so crazy busy lately. Everyone at the bureau is swamped, so I don't feel right taking a break by myself."
Feeling a bit helpless, Roy couldn't really press her after Saultana said that. He could only look for opportunities to give his big sister more shots.
The shots really help his big sister sleep soundly, and she wakes up feeling really refreshed.
"Oh, by the way, Saultana, did you see this?"
Roy handed Saultana the newspaper headline he had just seen.
Saultana's eyes were immediately drawn to the news, and she was quiet for a moment.
"I heard Marlene mention it yesterday. Apparently, a lot of LAPD officers have died recently, and now the police all over downtown Los Angeles are on edge. Roy, do you think it was that nun who showed up the other night who did it?"
Sure enough...
"It's probably her. She's the only one who could find the people from the Gluttony King's cult so easily."
Saultana looked at the newspaper with a worried frown.
"Why can't this person just find Jack Dell? If she just took care of Jack Dell, I can't even imagine how much of a weight it would lift off my shoulders!"
It seems like the job of finding Jack Dell is about to drive the FEA agents crazy. They've been searching non-stop for five days now and haven't found a single trace of him.
"Roy, where do you think this guy is hiding?"
Saultana helplessly turned to Roy for help, hoping to get some inspiration from him.
Roy rubbed his chin and started to think.
"What places has the FEA searched already?"
"Pretty much everywhere someone could hide: Jack Dell's place, his friends' houses, most of the city..."
But Los Angeles is just so huge, a metropolis with nearly four million people, and who knows how many undocumented immigrants are living here secretly.
Trying to find someone in this city is like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless they put Jack Dell on TV and have the whole city looking for him.
But if they do that, the FEA is worried that Jack Dell might get desperate and do something rash. It's just a really complicated situation.
"Have you guys thought about checking Hollywood?"
Since Jack Dell is a TV host, he's kind of in the entertainment industry. He might even be hiding out at some Hollywood star's place.
And Hollywood has always been a hotbed for cults.
A bunch of rich, bored celebrities with not much education? Could there be an easier group to manipulate?
In reality, besides the well-known Church of Scientology that Tom Cruise belongs to, there's also the cult NXIVM that Allison Mack, who played Superman's girlfriend in the TV series "Smallville," was involved in.
This organization used violence, brainwashing, and other methods to manipulate women, turning them into sex slaves.
Allison Mack even pleaded guilty and went to prison in 2021.
These are just the famous ones. Who knows how many dark secrets are hidden in the shadows? The entertainment industry has always been a place where dirt gets swept under the rug, no matter which country you're talking about.
Saultana gave a wry smile.
"Of course we've thought about it. We've even checked out some of the smaller celebrities, but there's no way to get to the big stars. Their connections are so complicated that even the names of the FEA and FBI don't really carry much weight."
Well, in America, money talks!
And the big stars in Hollywood happen to be pretty loaded. It's impossible to search their homes without a warrant.
After all, these Hollywood big shots probably have some skeletons in their closets, so they definitely wouldn't want the police searching their houses.
As for getting the court to issue that many warrants... you might as well just kill the judge.
"Well, there's nothing we can do then! You guys have been searching for so many days and haven't found Jack Dell. I bet he's hiding out in Hollywood."
Hearing this, Saultana shook her head helplessly.
"Looks like we'll have to think of something else."
Roy gave his "chocolate" big sister a hug.
"Saultana, don't think about it too much. The most important thing for you right now is to get some rest! Why don't you just go rest in my room?"
Saultana shook her head.
"Because there's been so much work lately, Gerald set up a break room in the hotel. I'll just go take a nap in there."
No wonder Saultana was in the dining room.
After Saultana finished eating, she left. Roy and Dahlia sat there for a little while longer, and just as they were about to leave, they saw Penny sneaking over.
"Huh, Penny, didn't you say you were going to sleep in a bit longer? What brings you down here so suddenly?"
Penny grabbed Roy's arm and sat down next to him.
"I snuck down here without Heather knowing! Roy, there's an important day coming up in a few days, do you remember?"
Hmm, if your girlfriend suddenly comes up to you and says there's an important day coming up, it's either her birthday or some kind of anniversary.
Being the smooth operator he was, Roy figured it out instantly.
"It's Heather's birthday, right? Of course I remember!"
Penny nodded happily and then started shaking Roy's arm.
"Roy, should we plan a birthday surprise for Heather?"
Speaking of birthday surprises, Roy immediately thought of the surprise they had prepared for Niddy's birthday last time. That memory wasn't exactly pleasant.
Hopefully this time won't be like that.
But now Penny and Heather are really as close as sisters. It's surprising she wants to do something like this too.
"Hmm, I'll talk to Gerald later about renting out the hotel restaurant on the 21st to give Heather a surprise!"
Just then, Ceci, who was in Dahlia's arms, also spoke up.
"Uncle Roy, if Aunt Heather's having a birthday, does that mean there'll be birthday cake?"
"Definitely!"
"Yay, we get to eat birthday cake!"
Kids are so easily pleased. Ceci was only thinking about eating birthday cake right now.
But Roy was thinking about other things. Without even realizing it, he'd been in Los Angeles for almost twenty days. Time really flies!
A lot of things have happened during these days. It really makes you think!
Dahlia was also quite enthusiastic about helping plan Heather's birthday surprise. After all, they were comrades-in-arms who had played ranked games together.
The two of them started discussing how to decorate the hotel restaurant, and then Ceci joined in too.
"Roy, who should we invite?"
While Roy was lost in thought, Penny called him back to reality.
"Who should we invite? Why don't we just invite us?"
Heather's old group of questionable friends basically all died in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre incident. Now her social circle is pretty clean; it's just the people around her.
But this made Dahlia's expression turn a bit strange.
"Are you talking about Mary, Keller, Molly, Amy, and Saultana?"
When Dahlia said that, Roy realized. Wasn't that just his harem and his potential harem?
"Uh, should we invite Gerald Olin?"
Penny shook her head.
"Nah, let's skip it! It's better if it's just us. If there are strangers around, people won't have as much fun."
Yeah, Heather's already an adult. It's different from students like Niddy.
It's not awkward for classmates to joke around, but if that guy Gerald shows up at the birthday party, the whole atmosphere will probably get really weird.
Gerald: ???
Speaking of which, I don't think I saw Gerald in the dining room today. I wonder if that guy went on another business trip?
Of course Gerald didn't go on a business trip. After all, he's the top person in charge of the FEA's Los Angeles division. There's no way he'd leave Los Angeles every other day.
He just happened to be around for the Slender Man incident before.
At this moment, Gerald was at the FEA's secret base in the suburbs of Los Angeles, meeting with Bartholomew, a representative from Amacham Technology (from the movie "The Canyon").
"Hello, Ms. Bartholomew!"
Gerald reached out and shook Bartholomew's hand.
"Hello, Director Olin!"
Bartholomew was a very refined middle-aged woman in her fifties. Her perfectly styled blonde hair and the barely noticeable makeup on her face showed that.
After they exchanged some pleasantries, they started talking about the collaboration.
"Director Olin, Amacham Technology has always focused on biological technology. The FEA could totally hand over those three aliens to me."
Gerald frowned slightly. This Bartholomew was really pushy, actually trying to snatch the spoils right from under the FEA's nose.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Bartholomew, but these three individuals are important assets of the FEA and cannot leave FEA custody."
Bartholomew didn't seem to mind at all and gave a smile.
"Alright, could you show me those three aliens?"
Gerald nodded.
"Please follow me."
Gerald led Bartholomew to an observation room. Inside, there was something covered with a canvas tarp.
"Why cover it with a canvas? You can't see anything like that."
Bartholomew was a bit puzzled.
"They're very dangerous. Looking directly at them carries some risk, so we have to keep them covered. But if you'd like to see, Ms. Bartholomew, I can show you for a moment."
With that, Gerald pressed a button, and a robotic arm descended from the ceiling of the observation room, lifting the canvas to reveal a beautiful woman inside a crystal coffin.
Even Bartholomew, who was also a woman, was momentarily stunned by the sight, let alone anyone else.
Coming back to her senses, Bartholomew wore a thoughtful expression.
"This woman definitely seems to be trouble! Director Olin, didn't you say there were two others?"
Gerald pressed the button and the canvas quickly covered the coffin again.
"The other two are men, and their condition is similar to this woman's."
Bartholomew nodded.
"The company's biological experts will be here soon. We can start the research tonight."
Gerald turned his head to look at Bartholomew.
"Are they male experts or female experts?"
"Male experts. But they're all very old, so they shouldn't be affected by the woman."
Gerald's brow furrowed.
"Ms. Bartholomew, you need to understand one thing. For the FEA, safety is the top priority. I don't want any accidents!"
Bartholomew smiled.
"Of course. Amacham Technology also prioritizes safety above all else."
Hmm, if Roy were here, he'd definitely have something to say. The Gospel Sanatorium was also an Amacham Technology property, and didn't that have an accident?
Unfortunately, Gerald didn't know that. Seeing Bartholomew's calm and steady demeanor, he believed her.
"Alright, I'll arrange for a pass for your people. But when you conduct the experiments, FEA agents must be present."
"No problem!"
After finalizing the collaboration with Bartholomew, Gerald left the secret base. He'd been busy all night and definitely needed some rest.
Bartholomew also left the secret base afterwards. She was an administrator, only responsible for negotiating the collaboration, not the experiments themselves.
In the afternoon, the researchers from Amacham Technology arrived at the secret base. Most of the dozen or so researchers were elderly.
However, for safety reasons, the FEA still planned to have the researchers study the two male alien creatures first.
These alien creatures' seductive abilities were most effective on the opposite sex. Unless someone had a different sexual orientation, resistance between the same sexes was very strong.
Fortunately, these researchers didn't have any issues with their sexual orientation, so they only paused slightly after seeing the two alien creatures.
"Take them to the lab. We're going to dissect these two."
"The lab has already been prepared."
The FEA agents helped push the two male alien creatures into the lab. After a brief discussion, the researchers split up to begin dissecting the two male creatures.
Just as they started to make the first incision, the two male alien creatures suddenly opened their eyes, grabbed the researchers who were operating on them, and threw them against the wall.
These guys were incredibly strong, grabbing a person as easily as picking up a toy.
The sudden turn of events scared the researchers so badly they almost peed their pants.
Luckily, the FEA agents who were in charge of monitoring reacted very quickly and immediately opened fire on the two male alien creatures.
The bodies of the two male alien creatures were riddled with over a dozen bullet holes, but it didn't seem to affect their actions. These guys were like they couldn't feel pain, and they grabbed the two closest researchers.
The FEA agents had no choice but to use lethal force.
There was no other way. If the Amacham Technology researchers died here, the FEA wouldn't be able to explain it to Bartholomew.
With the press of a button, two automatic machine guns descended from the lab ceiling, locked onto the male alien creatures, and instantly turned them into mincemeat.
With the FEA agents also firing, the two male alien creatures struggled for a moment and then collapsed to the ground, motionless.
The Amacham Technology researchers quickly fled the lab to calm down. Apart from a few of the older guys who were thrown against the wall and sustained some injuries, the other researchers were just covered in some blood and pretty shaken up.
After catching their breath, one of the researchers suddenly thought of a question.
"If these two male alien creatures woke up, does that mean the female alien creature also woke up?"
Everyone froze for a moment and then looked towards the observation room.
