Unlike the scene at the beginning of the first chapter of the game, it actually only took Shen Ye seven or eight hours to fly from Germany to a large city on the east coast of the US. He did not stop in Russia like in the game, so he set off in the morning and arrived near dusk.
Because he had contacted Enzo before coming, as soon as he got off the plane, Shen Ye saw Enzo holding a paper sign with his name on it.
In fact, Shen Ye had originally planned to wait two more days before coming to the US, but after notifying Enzo, Enzo strongly asked Shen Ye to go to the US in advance so that he could invite Shen Ye to his home.
"Hey, my friend, you're finally here. I thought the damn plane was delayed again... But why are you sniffing so hard?" Seeing Shen Ye coming, Enzo hurriedly went to meet him, but when he saw Shen Ye breathing hard, he asked with some confusion.
Shen Ye deliberately asked: "Don't you think the air here is very free?"
"I know that the US is a free country, but I have never heard that the air here is also free... But, my friend, please believe me, this kind of freedom is not good. I have to be very careful when sending my children to school now, for fear of encountering a shooting on the road. You know, there are no restrictions on gun possession here." Enzo heard the sarcasm in Shen Ye's tone, but still complained.
"Then why don't you change country?" Shen Ye asked jokingly.
"Ahem... because I occasionally do arms business. You may not know that fully automatic rifles are not allowed here, but I can get them. I can usually sell them at several times the market price. This is a very profitable business." Enzo coughed lightly: "Besides, the nights here are chaotic enough, and I can get a lot of unexpected business... Come with me to the parking lot first."
"Business, what business? To trick the unlucky guys for the devil or to recruit believers for the angels?" Shen Ye glanced at him, followed him and walked towards the parking lot.
Enzo glanced around, slowed down his pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Shen Ye... Well, he was too short, and his head couldn't even reach Shen Ye's shoulders, but he still tried to tiptoe and whispered: "That's a big business, it's hard to do it once, I'm talking about some insignificant small business, for example, there are many guys in this world who worship vampires, I can help them contact some low-level vampires, or get some active vampire blood."
"Sounds like being a pimp?" Shen Ye was not surprised at all that Enzo would mention a vampire. This was a mythological world with demons and gods, so naturally there would be vampires... In other words, this was another plot world that had undergone slight modifications or adjustments.
Hearing the word pimp come out of Shen Ye's mouth, Enzo smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "To put it simply, it should be an intermediary, but this business is not easy to do. Many unlucky people will be directly sucked dry by those hungry vampires, so I often can't collect the final payment. In addition, there are many demon hunters from the church in this city. They hunt vampires and demons everywhere, so active vampire blood is not easy to get. I am ready to give up this business."
As he was talking, Enzo stopped beside a convertible sports car, took out his key and pressed it, then said to Shen Ye: "Get in the car, my friend, my child has prepared a cake, well, I hope you like sweets."
"Generally speaking, I would rate sweets as not sweet, so I hope your children haven't completely adapted to the taste of this country." Shen Ye said to Enzo after getting in the car. When he was in Raccoon City, he had eaten the cake that Jill bought for him, and he would remember the cloyingly sweet taste for the rest of his life.
"That's a shame. Before I left, I asked my daughter to add a few more spoonfuls of sugar." Enzo said with some regret, and then started the sports car.
…
The sports car soon drove into a wealthy area.
This also shows that Enzo's business is indeed very profitable.
The safety factor in the wealthy areas of the US is several times higher than that of other areas. Although the wealthy area where Enzo lives is not the best one, it is not much different, so Enzo parked the sports car directly on the side of the road and took Shen Ye to his residence.
When he reached the door, Enzo rang the doorbell. After a while, a childish voice rang from behind the door: "Dad, is that you?"
"My dear baby Edna, it's me and your Uncle Shen." Enzo smiled kindly.
Click, the door opened, and a little girl rushed out, hugged Enzo's thighs tightly, then raised her head and looked at Shen Ye curiously. Last time, the little girl was only thinking about greeting Jeanne and didn't even look at Shen Ye.
"Hi!" Shen Ye greeted the little girl, took out the gift he had prepared before leaving from behind him, and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl did not take it immediately, but looked up at Enzo. After getting her father's permission, she carefully took it and politely said thank you uncle.
Shen Ye did not correct the little girl's way of addressing him and asked her to call him brother, otherwise it would feel like she was one generation lower than Enzo for no reason.
Looking at his daughter who was holding a gift in one hand and his thigh with the other, Enzo leaned over and held her in his arms, saying, "Is the cake ready, Edna?"
"It's ready. Ed and mom are clearing the table. Mom also made my favorite food." The little girl said crisply.
"It seems we have come at the right time, Shen. Welcome to my home. I hope I can bring you the warmth of home." Enzo said to Shen Ye.
"It's my honor." Shen Ye nodded, then followed Enzo into the house.
When Shen Ye came to the living room, he saw Enzo's wife, a tall and beautiful woman who was bringing a little boy to the table to put food. When she saw Shen Ye and Enzo come in, the beautiful woman stopped what she was doing, walked over and hugged Enzo, then said to Shen Ye: "Welcome, kind-hearted person who helped us. Hey, why are you here alone? Isn't your girlfriend here?"
Shen Ye greeted her and gave the gift to Enzo's son before responding, "She is a teacher and will not be here for a few days."
"That's a pity. I wanted her to taste my cooking." Enzo's wife said regretfully.
At this time, Enzo added: "My wife's craftsmanship is very good. There was once a very hateful woman who praised my wife's craftsmanship."
"Then I have to taste it carefully." Shen Ye said with a smile. At the same time, he also knew who the hateful woman Enzo was talking about was...
One of the only two witches, Bayonetta.
