Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 321 Natasha looked tense standing so close to someone tied to a notorious crime syndicate . " Y - You're not ... actually friends with gangs and stuff , right ? " she whispered . I shook my head at once . Gangs ? Criminal syndicates and secret societies ? I didn't even know anyone from that world back in Astergrad , which made this all the more confusing . " If you're no longer under Sam's employment or command , then why are you still treating me so ... deferentially ? " I asked . Jackie's expression turned grave . " I have a favor to ask of you , sir . " I blinked . " Okay .

Now that makes sense . What is it ? " Jackie said helplessly , " My sister studies at Astergrad U. Lately , she's been harassed by some powerful people . I want to help her myself , but this is my turf. " Sam's influence doesn't reach Astergrad like it does here , but you're different . You're the most powerful man I know . If you can ... I hope you'll help my sister . She's nothing like me , Mr. Grimwald . She's a good girl who follows the law and stays out of trouble . " Please , Mr. Grimwald ! Help an innocent young woman .

If you do , I'll swear my loyalty to you and so will my people in Beauclab . " I finally saw him in a new light . He looked like a thug who'd smash your head against a car hood , but he was also just a brother desperate to protect his sister . And what he offered in return matched exactly what I wanted to accomplish in Beauclab . " All right . I'll help , and I'll even consider this the start of our friendship , " I said . " Send me her information . When I'm back in Astergrad , I'll look for her at the university and learn more . " His face brightened with relief . " Thank you , thank you !

Her name's Julia Cruz . She's a freshman at the School of Nursing . " While Jackie told me more about her , the other thugs finished cleaning . He gave their work a quick glance , then handed me Julia's contact details . " All right , time for us to leave you two alone , Mr. Grimwald . Bye ! " By then , it was noon . After earning that much in commission fees , Natasha insisted on treating me to an expensive lunch . I tried to refuse , but she wouldn't take no for an answer , If you can't beat them , join them , right ? As Natasha stepped onto the freshly cleaned tile , her heel slipped .

She screamed while falling backward . Her head was seconds from hitting the floor when I lunged and caught her just in time . Even so , she winced as if in pain . " What's wrong ? Did you get hurt ? " I asked , worried . " I ... I think I sprained my ankle . And could you maybe loosen your grip ? I can't breathe ... " she groaned , her 1/2 Chapter 321 cheeks tinged pink . +25 Bonus I looked down and realized that my hand was pressed firmly against her chest . Hard enough that those buns were turning into flatbreads . The warmth and softness registered all at once , and my face flamed .

" Aaah ! Sorry , sorry ! " I released her too quickly , and before she could steady herself , she started to fall again . In panic , she grabbed onto me . BIG SALE : 3500 bonus free fou you ADMINJ
