Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 601 - Bab 610

"Fine, I understand."I let out a muted laugh. I had not expected to find a trace of flustered charm beneath Anna's icy exterior."Hmph. That's more like it." She narrowed her eyes in annoyance and turned to leave.I stopped her. "Wait.""What now?""Your face is healed, but I need to figure out what caused the issue in the first place."Treating the problem was one thing. Identifying the cause mattered just as much. If this started happening to others, I could not massage everyone who showed up."How would I know why my face got ruined? It happened after I used your product. That's the only reason." Anna looked just as confused. "I didn't change any of my other skincare or makeup. My routine has stayed the same. I haven't even stayed up late." I shook my head. "There has to be another reason. You saw my medical friend's skill. She made the paste and the medicine you took. She told me clearly that nothing in those formulas would damage your skin. Think again."Anna frowned at

When I returned to the front of the pharmacy, Winston brightened the moment he saw that the issue had been resolved."Mr. Grimwald, you always have a way. I really admire you! If it had not been for you, this wouldn't have ended with a simple apology. You saved me again!"Compliments spilled from him as if they cost nothing.I acted as if none of it mattered and gave a light nod. "Mr. Hill, no need to flatter me. If there is nothing else, I'll head out.""Ah, Mr. Grimwald. Shall we have dinner tonight?"He hurried after me and tried to persuade me, but I did not agree. "No."I left with Emin. On the way, I called Naomi."Hello? What is it? I'm busy!" Her voice sounded tired yet excited."How is the progress on your side?" I asked.Judging from her tone, things were going well."You even need to ask?" Naomi sounded even more energized. "With my skills and your money and resources, taking down the Kingsman Group is easy. Breaking your Youngkin enemies will be just as simple."

Emin checked the caller ID and his face changed at once. He hurried to answer."Hello? Honey, what happened at home?"It was his wife. His expression told me something was very wrong. I frowned.A moment later, his face drained of color. His voice shook. "Honey, I'm coming home right now. Don't be scared. I'm on my way. Put those people on the phone. They shouldn't bully a woman."He hung up, stunned as if struck by lightning."What happened to your family?" I asked while already opening the ride-hailing app.His eyes reddened. "I borrowed money for my wife's treatment. They said the due date was still far off, but now they sent underground collectors. They're inside my house. My wife is alone. And I…."His voice cracked.I understood enough. I grabbed his arm and rushed with him toward the car that had just pulled up. "Come on. I'm going with you. Tell me your address.""T-Thank you, Mr. Grimwald!"-With his directions, we reached the old run-down neighborhood where he liv

"Cut the nonsense. You borrowed money, and now I'm here to collect. I say the amount and you pay the amount. If you refuse, there will always be times when you're not home. Your wife stays here alone. No one knows if something happens to her."The threat stood in plain sight. Drake understood Emin well. Honest man, sick wife, no chance to fight back. Drake saw a seemingly wealthy sucker step in and decided to bleed us dry.That line struck Emin's last nerve. Rage shot through him. He grabbed Drake's collar with trembling fists. His eyes turned bloodshot. "You touch my wife and I'll fight you to the death."Drake smirked with open mockery and lifted both hands as if he invited a beating. "Oh? You think you have guts? You dare lay a hand on me? Go ahead. I will not resist. Every punch costs 2,000 dollars. Hit me if you can afford it.""Why you..." Emin shook with fury. Drake had him trapped. Emin could not afford 2,000 dollars per punch. He could not even pay the original amount now.

"No." Sebastian smiled and shook his head, half amused and half dismissive."Why not?" Drake and his two lackeys were already weak in the knees, their faces twisted with dread."There's still compensation for emotional distress. We spent energy beating you, so you should at least cover some nutrition fees." Sebastian raised his fingers and counted with slow precision. "And work-time losses, psychological damages…"Drake could hardly believe it. "You mean we got beaten and still need to pay you for it?"Compared to Sebastian, he felt unqualified to call himself a debt collector.…I lifted a brow in challenge. "Exactly. Not convinced? I can beat you up again." "No, no, no, we're convinced. We'll pay. Please just tell us how much."All three hovered on the edge of tears."A total of 20,000 dollars. Pay up and get lost.""20,000 dollars?!" Drake and his underlings sucked in a sharp breath.Sebastian had handed them 16,000 dollars earlier, and they had already paid back 2,000 d
