Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

---- Chapter 614 "Looks like your skin's grown thicker. | didn't expect you to show up with these louts and try to beat me into submission," | finished. Jackie felt as though the Ashera's spirit had slapped him through my words. "No! Not at all, no! | would never!" He hurried to explain. "This is all Drake's fault. This dumbass never told me who his so- called enemy was!" Jackie added with a sheepish smile. Setting Sebastian's power aside, this was the man who had helped care for his beloved sister. He was also the sole reason the Goddess of Medicine had agreed to save his life.

Hell, the fact that Ashera and Sebastian were close was reason enough to forbid Jackie from ever laying a hand on him. "You look pretty good. Your recovery must have been quick," | said, waving dismissively with a smile. The misunderstanding did not bother me in the slightest. "What brings you here?" ---- Jackie replied with deference. "Thank you for your concern, sir. My sister told me | was only brought back to life because of a genius doctor. She was incredible. | recovered completely.

No, actually, | feel even better than | did before the treatment." He continued, "Donna Cage saw how well I'd recovered and decided to grant me an extended break. | thought it would be a good chance to bring my sister to Sazaar for a two-day trip." | froze and cringed as the image of a very "open-minded" girl sprang to mind. "You brought her with you? She's here right now? "What? No," he replied, shaking his head. "She's getting her nails done." He would never allow his adorable, well-behaved sister anywhere near underground forces or his less savory contacts. | sighed. "Good.

Please keep the fact that I'm here a secret. And especially don't let Julia know." "Why not? She talks about you all the time. | even told her we'd be dining together." "Just don't reveal it, okay?" | said, clearing my throat and offering no further explanation. How was Jackie supposed to cope if he realized his sister was ---- overly friendly, bold, and far too eager to drag an older man into bed? Jackie smiled. "All right, Mr. Grimwald." My smile faded as | turned to the crowd. "You can handle this, right?" | asked. "Just a reminder, we had an agreement.

They pay Emin 15,000 every time they show up, and this definitely counts." | patted Emin on the shoulder. "And this man right here is my new bodyguard. He's very good at his job." Jackie quickly shook Emin's hand, grinning. "Wow. Nice to meet you!" Emin could only reply blankly, "Y-You too?" He was stunned. This tough guy was acting like a meek gentleman just from seeing Sebastian. Exactly how formidable was his employer? After a brief exchange with Emin, Jackie turned away and began dealing with Drake and his goons. It was an easy task.

They were already so terrified by the sudden tum of events that they could not even muster the courage to fight back. Drake watched Jackie approach with fury etched across his face. His knees shook. "J-Jack! It's me! We're supposed to be ---- friends!"
