Chapter 227
A peculiar glint flashed past Christopher‘s eyes upon Natalie‘s words.
He knew how merciless Natalie was on herself. Nevertheless, he never thought she would agree to his terms without even knowing what it was.
“Aren‘t you worried that I‘ll ask you to do some heinous crime?”
“Since you‘re willing to tell me the fruit‘s whereabouts before I even fulfill your wish, I reckoned that just proves you have a kind heart.” Natalie grinned mischievously. “Hence, you’re not as bad of a person as you look. There‘s no way you‘re going to ask me to commit a heinous crime.”
“You‘re the first person ever to say that to me.” Christopher paused and changed the subject. “Nonetheless, you will have a hefty consequence to pay should you decide to renege on your words in the future.”
No matter. This is for Yana‘s sake, after all. There‘s no turning back now,was the thought that popped into Natalie‘s mind.
“All right.”
“I will get my subordinate to prepare the message and email it to you by tonight,” Christopher said.
“Christopher.” Natalie‘s eyes curved into a crescent shape as she smiled. “Thank you.”
In response, Christopher looked away and directed his gaze to the scenery outside.
Of course, Natalie didn’t know that Christopher shifted his gaze away because of her mesmerizing smile. She simply thought that her ugly hyper–realistic mask was an eyesore for him. Nevertheless, she wasn‘t the least bit affected by it as she left Christopher‘s office with a bright smile on her face.
OTICE
Yana and Hans will live to a ripe old age once I cure Yana of her illness with the dragonblood fruit.
Back home.
Natalie immediately called Hans to tell him of the good news. She assured him that everything was going to be fine once she gets her hands on The dragonblood fruit.
She could tell that Hans‘ eyes were brimming with tears of joy upon the news through the phone.
