Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 14 +25 Bonus Chapter 574 Winston agreed at once . " No problem . You don't need to thank me This is something I ought to do . " Then he paused and asked , " Mr. Grimwald , forgive the blunt question . Are you trying to form a connection with the Kingsman Group ? " " I do have that intention , but nothing is confirmed . It all depends on what happens when I meet Naomi . " For some reason , I sensed that Naomi was not a bad person . Winston was about to check the surveillance footage himself when added , " Mr. Hill , even if you find her , bring her to me first .

Don't notify the Kingsman Group . " " Understood . " After Winston left , I waited in the private room with Byleth . Before long , her stomach growled . She looked at me with a pleading expression . " Boss , I'm hungry . There are pastries at the booth downstairs . Can I go eat some ? " I laughed . " Go on . " " You have to come with me . " " Why ? " " I'm worried about hitmen . I promised to stay close to protect you , so I can't leave you . Unless you go to the bathroom . " Her strict tone caught me off guard . I felt torn between helplessness and amusement , yet also touched .

I had not expected my bodyguard to take her duty this seriously . In the end , I gave in and followed her downstairs for pastries while I reviewed the other attendees ' project proposals . Half an hour slipped by . Byleth was still eating with gusto , and I had gone through nearly every proposal . Just as Winston said , nothing stood out . I was about to leave when my phone rang . It was Winston , and his one sounded grim . " Mr. Grimwald , something has happened . My people were late . Mr. Kingsman's men have already captured Naomi . " I frowned . " Where did they take her ?

" " I overheard them . Those tattooed thugs said they were going to find a place to get rid of her . The secret in her hands can't be allowed to spread . Only a dead person can keep it safe , " he replied . His seriousness settled heavily , and my expression hardened . What could Naomi have stolen from the Kingsman Group that wou push them to murder ? And any group that hired street thugs to silence someone was not protecting a corporate secret . They were hiding something far worse .

If the Kingsman Group's capital came from the Youngkin family , then whatever she had stolen might be tied directly to them . The thought clicked into place . Naomi must not die . She might be holding something that could topple Astergrad's Youngkin tamily . " All right . I understand , Mr. Hill Send me the final surveillance footage of them taking her . I'll head out now . " " Of course . If you need manpower , call me anytime . " " Good . " 1/2 Chapter 534 +25 Bonus As soon as the call ended , Byleth and I rushed out . I watched the surveillance clip on my phone .

Naomi had indeed been dragged away by the same thugs from the restroom . She had fought with everything she had , but she was a petite woman . She could not break free from several large men . They had shoved her into the back of a van and sped off . When the video ended , I passed the phone to Byleth in the passenger seat . " They left through the rear entrance of the venue. There is only one main road from there . Follow that route and search every abandoned factory and empty lot along the way .
