Chapter 486 Hit the Mark by a Fluke
Kami has said that Plan A had been temporarily put on hold due to the disappearance of Boris Oakley when I last talked to him on the phone.
This was why Xaria was on stand-by inactively now since no other new tasks had been assigned to her.
Kami told her to seize the opportunity to engage with experts in the long-lost traditional medicine of the Empire of Qustia.
If she mastered the long-lost traditional medicine of the Empire of Qustia, it was very crucial to the next move of the Empire of the Setting Sun!
Xaria would have thought that after she gave her business card to Kingsley, he would be captivated by her beauty and approach her.
Little did she expect that there was no news from him at all after so long.
She had every intention of giving up, but she saw Kingsley and Victoria from the back kitchen just a moment ago!
She knew she couldn't let the chance slip, so she hurried out to cotton up to Kingsley.
All thoughts had flashed through Xaria's mind, but the disappointment was still writ large upon her face.
She looks greatly disappointed. "What's going on, Boss Nicholson? What did you do to the woman?" Victoria asked.
Kingsley was speechless for a while.
You should have asked her what she did to me!
It was Xaria who lifted her dress and rode on him that night!
"That day, I was—"
Before Kingsley could finish his words, Xaria was reduced to tears and said, "I saw Dr. Nicholson's superb medical skill the other day, so I wanted him to teach my younger brother who is also a doctor. B-But he kept pushing me away…"
Victoria was somewhat moved by her words when Xaria mentioned her younger brother. She looked at Kingsley and said, "This is a sister's love for her brother! Why don't you agree to help her?"
"Victoria, things are not so simple." Kingsley rubbed his temples and mentioned. "The traditional medicine I learned is long-lost knowledge. I can't simply accept disciples without my godfather's consent." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Xaria's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard Kingsley's address to Victoria.
She thereupon gave a disappointed look and stood up mournfully. "Since Dr. Nicholson still doesn't agree, then let's forget about it."
She turned and headed to the back kitchen after she finished her words.
Xaria came to a middle-aged man wearing a chef's uniform and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Brown, do you know the woman sitting by the entrance?"
Mr. Brown was a local residing in the north of Cleapolis.
His whole family, friends, and relatives all lived in this neighborhood. So, he was well-informed of everything that happened here.
The middle-aged man raised his head to glance through the food hatch and said, "What! You didn't know her? Victoria Jeanne, the boss of the Jeanne Gang. She is the leader of the underworld here!"
"Leader of the underworld?" Xaria looked doubtfully and continued, "She doesn't look like one!"
Mr. Brown laughed heartily and said, "She might look elegant, but I saw her involved in assault attacks a few years ago."
He pointed to a few strong men who had set up their stalls at the restaurant's entrance before saying, "These people are probably from the underworld who came to fight a turf war against Jeanne. Her visit here today serves as a warning to these people!"
Xaria nodded as she listened to Mr. Brown's words.
She had long noticed that a group of strangers had appeared in front of her restaurant.
She secretly breathed a collective sigh of relief…
So, these people are not here for me, but for the underground disputes within the Empire of Qustia...
Mr. Brown's words hit the mark by a fluke and laid Xaria's fears to rest.
At the same time, Victoria said to Kingsley, "Boss Nicholson, I can't believe you are the God of Medicine! I didn't expect you to be so modest."
"Oh, no, you flatter me." Kingsley mocked himself. "I just know a little about acupuncture and moxibustion."
An idea struck Victoria all of a sudden. "My second sister is a doctor too. Do you mind me introducing the two of you to each other? So that both of you can exchange insights and learn from each other."
