Instead of staying there doing nothing, I might as well go to New York to see Sarah Blake, whom I haven't seen in a long time.
On the one hand, they hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to catch up; on the other hand, the church, cemetery, and manor in Mysterious Falls would need some antique decorations once they were built, and she was an expert in that area.
She selected many of the antique decorations at Green Point Apartments; she certainly has great taste.
After meeting, those who understand will understand.
The next day at noon, the two finally had a proper chat while eating at a restaurant. Sarah Blake asked about Sue's recent situation, and of course, she didn't forget to ask about the big scandal he'd been involved in. Sue didn't deny his relationship with Amber, but simply explained the details.
Afterwards, Sue brought up the matter of building a manor in Mystic Falls and asked Sarah Blake to keep an eye out for suitable antique decorations when she had time.
Sarah Blake readily agreed, jokingly adding that Sue would only think of her when she had such a need.
What could Su say?
No matter what you say, it's wrong!
So after lunch, he simply took Sarah Blake shopping, buying and buying, and casually transferred 100 million US dollars to her card, claiming it was payment for buying antiques and decorations later.
What to do when a woman is angry?
A bag can cure all ills.
If one isn't enough, then two will do!
If two aren't enough, then keep going until you have enough.
Sarah Blake is definitely not the kind of girl who is materialistic or vain, but not being materialistic or vain doesn't mean they don't like shopping or buying things!
Su spent about a week with Sarah Blake in New York before receiving a call from Caroline.
Bonnie and her grandmother Sheila are ready to break the seal on the tomb and hope that Sue can come back just in case.
Su originally wanted to tell Caroline that she would be back soon, but she hesitated and then said that she had something to take care of and was unsure if she could return.
Of course, Su will definitely go back, but she doesn't plan to appear in her true form. After all, in the Mysterious Waterfall Town circle, she is the referee and shouldn't have her own stance, otherwise the Gold Exchange setting will be aborted as soon as it's introduced.
Who would dare trust an underground platform with a political stance?
If Sue were there, she would definitely pay to get Damon out of the tomb, and Bonnie and the others would inevitably follow, turning it into a money-driven dispute.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but right now, whether it's Damon or the others, they've all been squeezed dry. Even when you're harvesting leeks, you have to let them grow back.
After bidding farewell to Sarah Blake, Su returned to Mystic Falls in the form of Kakuzu, while also retrieving Kakuzu's shadow clone to learn about the events that had occurred during that time.
Almost all of them were trivial matters and not important.
Tonight, Damon and Bonnie, Bonnie's grandmother Sheila, Caroline, Liz, and a group of police officers will go to the cemetery to witness the opening of the seal.
Kakuzu will also go, after all, he still has the mission to eliminate the other vampires in the tomb, and it's a mission for two people, one is Carol Lockwood and Liz, and the other is Caroline.
Oh right, there's another condition in Caroline's mission: you have to kill her. That's easy; you can fool her with clones and transformations.

Chapter 453 The seal is broken, and all the vampires are wiped out?
As night fell, a gentle breeze blew, and the sky overhead was appropriately covered with dark clouds, with not a single star in sight.
The church cemetery was surrounded by a high fence due to construction. At this moment, a large hole was dug in the ground, and by the light of a flashlight, it could be vaguely seen that the hole below appeared to be man-made.
The group stood apart near the cave entrance.
Damon stood beside Bonnie and Sheila, who were holding the Magic Diary, with Caroline, Ricky Neller, and Jessica Hanby on either side.
Liz and Carole Lockwood stood nervously to the side with a group of police officers, ready to respond promptly should any situation arise.
Although—it may not be useful.
A ladder was placed at the edge of the cave entrance. Bonnie and Sheila climbed down the ladder, while Damon, Caroline, and the other ninjas jumped down.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
One by one, the prepared torches were lit and placed in special positions. The flickering flames illuminated the cave. The group looked around and soon discovered special symbols carved on the walls.
In the middle of the torchlight, Bonnie and Sheila faced each other, holding hands, heads bowed, eyes closed, and softly chanting incantations.
As the chanting began, the flickering flames suddenly shot upwards, becoming even more intense and scorching.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound rang out.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly searched for the source of the sound. Soon... a wall in a certain place slowly opened, revealing a dark crack.
"It worked?" Bonnie asked in surprise.
“Of course it works!” Hilla said.
Damon stared excitedly at the opening, took a deep breath, and looked around, especially at Bonnie and Sheila, a smile spreading across his face.
Then, he suddenly moved.
A ghostly figure suddenly darted out of the cave entrance, followed by a cry of alarm: Carol Lockwood had been captured by Damon.
"what are you doing?"
"Let her go!"
Damon grabbed Carol Lockwood and chuckled, "She's coming in with me."
"Don't bring her in, or I'll seal the door immediately," Sheila said hastily.
Damon glanced at the struggling Carol Lockwood and said smugly, "You only closed the tomb door if I didn't take her. Do you think I would trust you?"
“Just as I don’t trust you either,” Sheila scoffed.
"The seal has been broken. Aren't you going in?" Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a voice suddenly rang out, and then, Kakuzu, wearing the Akatsuki uniform, appeared in front of them without anyone noticing.
Su glanced at it. In the TV series, Damon took Elena hostage. In the end, Bonnie and Sheila's idea of locking Damon in the tomb failed. However, Damon did not find Catherine in the tomb. Afterwards, he was disheartened and wanted to leave Mystic Falls. So the matter of sealing the tomb can be considered to have come to an end.
Damon is willing to give everything for love, and he is also impulsive and reckless, but that doesn't mean he's brainless. He could see through Sheila's thoughts in the TV series, and he certainly can now.
Of all the people present, the only valuable hostage was Carol Lockwood.
Bonnie and Sheila, needless to say, are tasked with maintaining the seal. As for the ninjas like Caroline, even if Damon could control them, he wouldn't dare to intervene.
The other police officers were useless against those people above. Liz—that's Caroline's mother. Damon arrested her as a confidante, and Caroline would definitely not agree to it.
Therefore, the only hostage candidate is Carroll Lockwood, who has neither power nor backing!
Moreover, Carole Lockwood has been targeting him all along.
Of course, there is another reason, which is that Carol Lockwood owes the Su family and Kakuzu money. So even if Sheila really wants to seal them in the tomb at all costs, Damon doesn't know about the Su family, but given Kakuzu's money-grubbing nature, he will definitely find a way to enter the tomb and rescue Carol Lockwood.
He himself would naturally be saved as a result.
"I've already wasted too much time in this town, and I don't want to linger any longer. I'm going in first." Su walked to the tomb door, pushed it open, and strode inside.
Damon grabbed Carol Lockwood and went inside.
As soon as he entered, he heard clusters of light shining from the dark tomb, and he could vaguely see vampires, like mummies, being burned to death.
Damon immediately panicked: "Wait, don't do anything yet, I need to find Catherine."
With that, Damon released Carol Lockwood and charged forward.
One by one, the vampires were set ablaze and burned to death. The firelight illuminated the tomb, allowing Carol Lockwood and the people outside to see what was happening inside.
Kakuzu has indeed fulfilled the terms of the deal and is currently clearing out the vampires imprisoned in the tomb. However—the key now is Catherine!
Will the Horned City kill Catherine?
If he doesn't kill him, will Damon take revenge on the town after rescuing Catherine?
"Do not……"
Just as everyone was speculating and worrying, Damon's piercing scream came from the tomb. From the sound alone, one could tell how sad and angry Damon was.
Catherine!
Kakuzu killed Catherine?!
Inside the tomb, Damon slumped to the ground, staring in despair at the burning corpse before him.
Even though he had turned into a dried-up corpse, and even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Damon still recognized her—it was Catherine!
Kakuzu killed Catherine!
In that instant, Damon felt the whole world turn gray. He had tried everything he could to save her, but he could only watch helplessly as she burned to death before his very eyes.
hatred!
He hates!
Dark smoky makeup appeared around his eyes, and sharp fangs bared. At this moment, he no longer cared whether Kakuzu was an 'ally' of the Akatsuki or how strong Kakuzu was.
He had only one thought: to kill Kakuzu and avenge Catherine!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Sue appeared and grabbed Damon by the neck as he rushed towards her, slamming her hand against the wall with force: "You, are you going to kill me?"
"I'm going to kill you!!!" Damon struggled ferociously.
Su clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Normally, the Akatsuki organization does not allow attacks on its own members, but since you attacked first, I can kill you!"
"Come on, kill me! If you have the guts, kill me!!!" Damon had already disregarded life and death; he didn't care at all.
"Tch—want to die? That won't do, you still owe me money!" Su shook her head and casually tossed Damon into the depths of the tomb.
"Is my mission complete?" Su asked as he approached Carol Lockwood.
Carole Lockwood nodded blankly: "Okay."
The vampires in the tomb have all been killed, and even the people the same organization was trying to save have been killed. If this doesn't count as completing the mission, what does?
To be honest, Carole Lockwood was a little scared.
Kakuzu had saved Damon before, and they were even in the same organization. It was thought that Kakuzu would let Catherine go because of these things, but it turns out that Kakuzu is ruthless and even killed Catherine in order to complete the mission.
This Kakuzu—he's really obsessed with money!
