At first, it was just testing the waters, but soon they got into the flow.

Initially, he thought she would be cold, but unexpectedly, he tasted her passion.

This reminded Zhou Mo Sen of a movie, perhaps with Weng Hong and Da Hua; it was so long ago, but it seemed like it started with a struggle, then turned proactive.

Even moving on her own... Cough cough... What am I thinking?

Indeed, I shouldn't be thinking of that movie, but just because I did.

It got interrupted.

They suddenly separated, and it was unclear who initiated the separation more, but it seemed useless to dwell on it.

The key was their gaze met after parting.

Both looked surprisingly startled in their eyes.

Was this their first kiss?

For a moment, they couldn't recall, but at least, such an engrossing kiss must have been the first.

So what was this situation?

It was too strange, wasn't it?

And next... Right, the key is what's next.

Would the two of them continue, or not?

Uchida was genuinely startled by this encounter; she never expected it to feel so right.

Yes, this feeling really scared her.

Should it be?

It seemed... it seemed it should be.

But.

Next, Uchida thought of many things, especially if there really was something between her and Zhou Mo Sen.

What about the status?

This so-called status, not complicated, just meant.

Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?

Clearly, they shouldn't be.

Zhou Mo Sen wasn't the type to decide on such a relationship just after a close connection.

Plus, this is the United States, things can't be so simple.

So, for now, it should be...

"You're too much! I demand a raise!"

"Huh?"

Zhou Mo Sen never expected Uchida would say such a thing.

In fact, just now, Dr. Zhou also found it very feeling.

And this feeling.

Isn't it also strange?

If they were to... Hmm, Zhou Mo Sen also thought about it.

Could they establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?

It seems impossible!

Yes, this is the United States.

A single effective connection can't confirm this boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

After all, Zhou Mo Sen still has five major disciples, and there are two more outside, plus...

Cough, cough, looking at it this way, have I, Zhou Mo Sen, already built a large harem?

No, no, this isn't really a harem.

After all, their relationship hasn't reached the level of boyfriend and girlfriend.

This is how it is in America.

Zhou Mo Sen, at most, is a bit special, a bit more.

Moreover... never mind, stop here.

But what is the current situation?

She wants a raise?

Is she planning to use the kiss as leverage?

No, she shouldn't be.

Zhou Mo Sen quickly understood, and silently praised Uchida for being a smart girl.

"Alright, a raise it is."

Dr. Zhou said so, and Uchida smiled upon hearing it.

But in her heart, there was a bit of bitterness.

Actually, Uchida, being a woman, also had hopes for love, and indeed, she harbored feelings for Zhou Mo Sen.

Although his response was what Uchida wanted.

Because this could resolve the current situation.

But she is, after all, a woman and craves for love.

She also dreamed that if Zhou Mo Sen sweet-talked her, she might just indulge.

And have an utterly open-hearted... encounter with Zhou Mo Sen.

Ah, never mind.

"Then it's settled!"

As she said this, she got up, along with her black stockings, and walked out of the office.

Zhou Mo Sen felt a wave of relief, yet also had a sense of unexplainable regret.

Not that he regretted it much, but what if he pulled her back and pressed her onto the sofa?

But what next?

Right, their relationship has already grown quite strange, better to keep it this way for now.

So, that's how it was, they remained in a superior-subordinate relationship.

...

San Francisco.

"Bastard! Truly a bastard!"

Saint Master Bishop took off the mask, unable to stop himself from cursing.

No idea who he's cursing.

Actually, this time going on stage, was what he previously referred to as 'taking the stage.'

However, this wasn't an ordinary taking the stage.

It was true that it supported the Democratic Party, but it was also a fight with Kobrand from a distance!

Both were considered 'clergy,' and Kobrand has made quite the earnings over the years.

While Bishop was on the rise.

If he won this time, meaning the Democratic candidate would sweep through the election.

Then his Bishop and the Descent Sect he led could further expand!

Currently, the Descent Sect mainly focused on California.

Although California was already quite powerful, independently, it's one of the world's leading economic entities.

However, who wouldn't want great expansion, maybe even spread across the United States?

Such an idea was great, and the plan was indeed not bad.

For this opportunity, Bishop used considerable resources.

Funding was one thing, but he also built good relations with many Democratic Party bigwigs.

Of course, the main tactics were all those doomsday, devil-descending scams.

But he succeeded in appearing on this crucial pre-election gathering.

However... it was only half-successful.

Who will actually win the future election?

Bishop had an inexplicable feeling of panic.

Maybe it was due to all the scandals before, or plainly, it was Purdue Company's issue.

Or maybe something else.

Bishop didn't know why, but he feared he might lose.

And if he lost... wouldn't that mean losing to Kobrand?

This was absolutely unacceptable!

It wasn't just about face; it was about the impact on the expansion of the Descent Sect.

Bastard, truly a bastard!

As Bishop cursed, his heart grew... no, this couldn't happen!

So decisively, he dismissed everyone and went to a very private room.

This room was arranged in a highly strange way.

Basically, one could say bizarre shapes, with various demon or peculiar animal statues or pictures.

But amidst all this, there was a huge transparent glass tank.

This???

What was this thing?

Quack! Quack!

Bishop rushed over and fiercely grabbed at it, until a smile appeared on his face.

Then he retracted his hand and started licking his hand like a pervert.

After licking, Bishop's eyes displayed an odd look of one up, one down.

His whole body seemed like mush, lying on the ground.

Or rather, he seemed to be enjoying it.

Like those 'zombies' on the street.

At last, the election arrived!

...

November second was the voting day for this year's election.

Actually, in the United States, elections work like this.

The voting day is the first Tuesday in November.

And this year, it happened to be the 2nd, which was a Tuesday.

Interestingly, the first was Halloween.

Both are holidays, very favorable for the election.

Perhaps because the day before was Halloween, both parties invited some rather peculiar clergy.

Let's not bother with it, everyone go vote!

Regrettably, not everyone would show up, especially this time, reportedly, the number of Americans willing to vote hit a historical low.

But forget it, there's no changing it.

On the first day, some state results might come out, as some states vote early, some late, and states vary in size.

The first state to release results, well, that also holds importance.

An auspicious start, right?

So, what was this year's outcome?

By evening, results came out!

Xiaobu won the first round!

Won a narrow victory over Long Face!

...

When Bishop woke up, he took a look...

What?

The election result wasn't fully determined yet, but this Saint Master Bishop was already dripping with sweat!
