Moreover, sooner or later, Kingsley knew he would have to take action to eliminate Stork and the group of spies behind Victoria. By then, there was no guarantee that there would not be any remaining forces using her to threaten him. Even worse, they might harm her directly to avenge his comrades. Kingsley was determined to prevent such a thing from happening.
"Boss Nicholson, you are quite an enigma!" Victoria laughed, saying, "You call me 'sister' and have helped me a lot, but you always seem to keep your distance like an ice block!"
Kingsley didn't know how to respond to her words, so he could only force a few dry laughs.
"Alright, let me get straight to the point," Victoria said, "Boss Nicholson, do you remember a person named Xaria who asked you to go and diagnose Old Mr. Kean at Jeanne D'Arc last time?"
Upon hearing the name "Xaria," Kingsley's expression suddenly stiffened. Stork! What is she trying to pull off now?
"I remember. Didn't you say she was your new friend?" he said in a low voice, "So, what's the matter? Does she have another friend who's sick?"
Victoria exclaimed, "You guessed it right on the mark! She just came to me and said that her friend is sick. So, she wants you to help again."
A hint of coldness flashed in Kingsley's eyes. "Alright, give me the address. I'll go."
At this point, Stork still didn't know that he was military personnel. She was clinging to Victoria to learn about the lost traditional medicine. If he pretended to have a good relationship with her and allowed her to contact him directly, she wouldn't have to bother Victoria anymore. The spies from the Empire of the Setting Sun wouldn't waste their time on an irrelevant person. This way, he could ensure Victoria's safety.
Upon hearing Kingsley's immediate agreement, Victoria smiled and said, "Boss Nicholson, you're really doing me a huge favor. Let me check with Xaria and send you the address."
After hanging up the phone, Kingsley's expression grew colder. He was curious to see what kind of trick Stork was up to this time.
As Kenny and Cassius saw that Kingsley's expression was off, they exchanged glances and asked, "Boss, is something wrong? Should I call all the brothers over?"
