  Chapter 34 Departure

   "Victor, why are you here James?"

  Ms. Elizabeth said tremblingly, she didn't know whether it was because the weather was getting colder, the cold wind from the rainy night was blowing in from the open balcony, or she was just scared.

  Victor did not speak, he stood there, in the dark night, only the occasional flashes of lightning could illuminate his figure. Mrs. Elizabeth was even more frightened. She grabbed the bed sheet in a panic and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to shout, but she was afraid of angering Victor.

   "What's the relationship between James and me?" Finally, Victor's deep voice sounded, and the sound of the rain outside seemed to be quieter.

   "You, what are you talking about, what is Victor going to do!"

  Victor took two steps and got closer, almost touching the edge of the bed.

  Boom! There was another muffled thunder, rumbling brewing in the clouds, and Victor's voice became even more terrifying: "What's the relationship between James and me?"

   Kaka!

  Lightning strikes, illuminating Victor's face, the rough and deep facial features are very similar to—

   "Thomas!"

  Ms. Elizabeth screamed, she scratched her hair hysterically, and yelled Thomas Logan's name.

  Victor yelled again and asked, "What's the relationship between James and me!"

"James, James, don't hurt him! Thomas, don't hurt James! He's your son, you can't hurt him!" Elizabeth was completely crazy, she was tearing her hair desperately, she was yelling with vacant eyes, her words became more and more blurred , and finally turned into a meaningless scream and roar.

  Victor stayed for a moment, as if the torrential rainy night and the crazy woman had nothing to do with him, as if they were not in a different world.

  He had already guessed in his heart, but he wanted a definite answer.

  Victor jumped into the rainy night and disappeared.

"Have you found everything?" James asked Jack. Victor was missing, and no one saw where he went. The family rider captain, Jack Pete, gathered in the surrounding towns and woods with all the manpower he could use. Searched for many days.

   "I searched all the places within 30 miles around, and I didn't find any strange deaths or injuries of nearby residents." Jack said a little tiredly.

  James nodded, said something hard, and urged Jack to go to rest. The torrential rain the night before made him gain nothing even with his special sense of smell. If there is no one near Edmond, then Victor must have gone to the United States.

  What he was most worried about at the beginning was that Victor was influenced by Adam, so he asked people to pay attention to searching the surrounding residents. As a result, there was no tragedy of people being attacked and killed by similar wild animals, which reassured James a lot. He thought Victor might be eager to return to the battlefield, so he left without saying goodbye. While having a headache, she thought of her mother Elizabeth's old problem again these days, and it was especially serious, so she couldn't help but sighed deeply.

   "O'Hara, how many boxes do you have?" James watched O'Hara chattering and directing the servants to pile the suitcases into the carriage box, and asked helplessly.

"That's all!" O'Hara narrowed her eyes with a smile, her eyelashes were long, and her bright red eyebrows couldn't hide her joy. She took her beige pearl handbag, lifted her skirt, and leaned into the carriage. . James has always been opposed to the tunic skirts worn by women in the current era, which are cumbersome, uncomfortable and harmful to the body, so O'Hara has been wearing comfortable and convenient long skirts or trousers for many years.

   "Hey hey hey, this is the first time I've traveled so far, and I'll meet Mr. and Mrs. President, so why don't you prepare more!"

"The war is not over yet. We will often go to the United States in the future, and we may even move there." James untied his cufflinks, took out the cigar box habitually, and put it back on second thought, O'Hara Didn't like the smell of cigars or cigarettes.

O'Hara happily asked about moving to the United States. Canada is too vast and sparsely populated. Although the natural scenery around the manor is excellent, growing up here has long lost the novelty. She also yearns for the bustling city and the crowd.

On this trip to Washington, on the one hand, we need to meet Mr. President, many matters related to the war, and all kinds of troublesome things to discuss about the distribution of benefits after the war. In addition, the search for Adam, the ancestor of vampires, cannot be relaxed, even though he is currently dormant in a very weak state. , but letting such a terrifying undead creature go, after all, there will be endless troubles.

   And the most important thing is to find Victor.

In September 1863, the Northern Union Army captured Chattanooga, and the occupation of Hudson Harbor in July split the Confederate Army into two parts. From a strategic and tactical point of view, there was no suspense about the Union's victory. .

"Mr. Howlett, Ma'am, this way please." The waiter of the White House respectfully led James and O'Hara into the banquet hall. President Lincoln repeatedly stated that the war was not yet completely over, and it was too early to hold a banquet at this moment, but he finally let go under the enthusiasm and pressure from all sides.

  O'Hara was very satisfied with the title of the young waiter, and gave him a bright smile. While holding James' hand, he walked into the hall with a nervous and stiff expression on his face.

   "James! James!" President Lincoln waved and shouted enthusiastically after seeing James. He apologized to the people around him, and hurriedly took his wife Mary's hand to greet him.

   "You're here!" Mr. President looked at James with a questioning look in his eyes, as if to confirm whether he was all right.

  James nodded slightly, with a smile, and introduced O'Hara easily.

Mrs. Mary took O'Hara's hand intimately, and said softly: "No wonder Mr. Howlett was not moved by how Abel and I introduced the excellent lady to Mr. Howlett. It turned out that he had known such a beautiful girl a long time ago. "

  President Lincoln also patted James on the chest teasingly, happily took them to the center of the banquet, and introduced the two of them to tycoons, government officials, and members of Congress in the fields of northern industry and manufacturing.

The name of the Howlett family has been familiar to the ears of the upper class in the United States over the years, and even some people with great powers and many sources of information in the military are not familiar with this seemingly young and excessive emerging industry. Predators also have an extraordinary sense of awe.
