The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 895

Jean felt so angry and funny at the same time that he wished he could teach her a lesson immediately.

However, he still held himself together, sat her down and dried her hair for her. “Deal with the old guys from the Alliance? What’s the matter with that?” He asked.

Neera nodded. “It’s the President of the Alliance, and some other elders.”

Jean was a little confused. “If they’re from the Alliance, why do you have to deal with them? Did they bully you?”

Neera waved her small, tender hands and explained.

“No, it’s not that. People from the Alliance are generally friendly with me. I’m in debt to them.”

“...Debt?” He didn’t understand what she meant.

She had an abundance of riches, how would she owe them anything?

Neera answered him frankly. “You may not know this, but our medical alliance has a lot of weird rules. If I need to enter the library and study, I need to give up some points. And to earn points, I need to complete the tasks issued by them. There are different levels of tasks, D-level ones being the lowest, and SSS-level ones are the highest and also the hardest. But they are the ones that award the most points.”

Jean was amused by her explanation. “So, the debt that you mentioned are points that you owe from the library?”

“Smart boy.” She held two thumbs up at him.

He chuckled. “Then, have you not accumulated any points? Have you not done any of their tasks?”

“Of course I have! I’ve done a ton of them!”

Neera immediately tried to clear her name. “It was when I first joined the Alliance. I had spent a total of three months in the library. Not only did I use up all my points, I even drew some debt.”

Jean finally understood. He couldn’t help himself but laughed. “Was it a lot of doubt?” He said as he giggled uncontrollably.

She felt a little embarrassed, then she held up one finger. “Yes. I owe them… a little over a million points.”

He had no idea how to make sense of the figure. “That doesn’t seem like much if it was converted into cash. How do you calculate the interest rate in points? How many tasks do you have to complete?”

Neera felt a little guilty. “The highest level tasks are worth one hundred thousand points. So I have to complete about ten SSS-level tasks to clear my debt…”

Ten of the hardest tasks…

Jean was speechless for a while, he didn’t know if he was to laugh or cry.

It seems like this woman was a bookworm back then.

She had been immersed in books all day long, luckily she didn’t become a nerd.

“Then, aren’t you going to be charged for debt when you go there tomorrow?”

Without even thinking about it, Neera complained: “Of course I will! The President of the Alliance is especially stingy!!!”

“If you don’t clear it, then you won’t be able to enter the library?” He continued asking.

As soon as he said that, Neera’s face sank. “That might be a possibility. That’s why I told you that I need to conserve some energy to deal with them tomorrow! The tasks will be difficult!”

Jean wanted to laugh again. “What would happen if you don’t manage to complete them?”

“If I don’t, then I will have to march into the President’s room and cry and beg and make trouble. Then, we’ll see if he’s able to accommodate me. I’m telling you, the President can be persuaded with reason but not be cowed by force.

Jean has never been interested in such gossipy things.

But hearing her talk about this, not only did he not find it boring, he got more and more amused as the conversation went on. He even laughed out several times.

Why is his girlfriend so cute!

The universe had favored him so much that it sent her to his side…

The two chatted for a while longer as her hair dried. Neera felt very sleepy soon after.

Jean laid on the bed with her and continued the conversation.

Not long after, she had fallen into deep sleep.

He did not leave her room that night. He hugged her lightly and fell asleep with her contentedly.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Neera simply packed her luggage and left the house.

Naturally, Zephyr would be the one to follow her on this trip.

However, Jean was worried, so he asked Storm to tag along as well.

The World Medical Alliance headquarters was situated on a private island. People could only get there by taking a designated ferry.

Neera had already made some calls in advance. By the time she got to the pier, the ferry was already docked.

On the whole way to the pier, Jean had been nagging Neera. “When you get there, call me first thing. If it’s convenient, you can send me a text. Contact me immediately if you get into any trouble. Let me know so I don’t worry. Also, please take care of yourself.”

Neera responded like an obedient little child, gave him a kiss, and got on the ferry.

Even though Jean was a little reluctant to let her leave, Jean still let her go and only left after she was out of his sight.
