Chapter 897


    Chapter 897 A Failed Bribery


    After Jean read her text in his house, he couldn’t help but burst intoughter and sent another message


    to


    tease her.


    “You think one million, nine hundred ny–nine thousand and nine hundred is just a little over one


    million?”


    Neera: “…”


    She just shut herself down.


    She then replied angrily: “Don’t you worry about matters of pretty girls!!”


    Then, she took out arge–sized facial mask and put it on.


    Her already small face was suddenly half–covered


    She took a selfie with her phone and found her appearance to be quite satisfying. Only then, she


    walked into the library.


    Compared to its exterior, the interior of the library was just as astonishing.


    As soon as anyone enters the door, they’ll be able to see endless rows of bookshelves.


    The staircase went upward floor by floor, and millions of medical books were stacked up all the way to


    the top of the building.


    In the middle of the library, there were two fully transparent elevators that people could ride on.


    Every person in the library had to first swipe their badges at the front desk.


    The badge was also their entry pass, and also their points card.


    One card for multiple purposes.


    Neera entered the door with much anxiety.


    The administrative staff at the front door was an old man. When he sensed someone approaching, he


    didn’t even raise his head, and said coldly: “Card.”


    She quicklyplied and held out her gold badge.


    Her voice was calm, just like everyone else. “Credit for 100,000 points.”


    In the Alliance, gold and purple–gold badges can be used for credit.


    The gold card is worth 100,000 credits at a time, while the purple–gold card is worth 300,000 credits at


    a time.


    The old man didn’t think about it too much, swiped the card, and gave it back to her.


    Then, just as she was about to walk in, the old man suddenly yelled: “No, wait!”


    Neera had her back facing him, her skin went numb.


    Oh no, did he manage to clock her?


    Sure enough, the next second, the old man stopped her in her tracks, stared at her face carefully, and


    suddenly


    widened his eyes.


    “Ms. Garcia, is that you? It must be you! Don’t think I wouldn’t recognize you just because you’re


    wearing alrge face mask!”


    Afraid that his shouting voice would attract the attention of many, Neera quickly lowered her head and


    admitted in a low voice. “Yes yes, it’s me. Can you lower down your voice, Grandpa Dirk…”


    The old man who was just referred to as Grandpa Dirk suddenlyughed,pletely different from the


    coldness he possessed earlier,


    “So it is you! I’m telling you, I’m never wrong. The voice I heard sounded exactly like you! You little girl,


    after. leaving for so long, you’ve finally decided toe back, huh?”


    Neera had a headache and wanted tough at the same time. “Yes, I’ve misseding back to study


    here. I’ve missed you too, of course.”


    Grandpa Dirk blew his beard as he didn’t buy it. “Stop pulling my leg! In the Alliance, you don’t miss


    anyone else except for your medical books, don’t think I don’t know that!”


    Neera immediately denied it. “Who said so! I missed you so much that I even brought you the finest


    tea! Do you actually miss me too? If not, then forget about it.”


    She had done her homework beforeing to the ind. She had thought of every way she could to


    sneak in.


    Sure enough, when Grandpa Dirk heard this, his eyes lit up.


    “You even brought me a gift? Of course I want it! Let me see it!”


    Neera raised her eyebrows with pleasure, and passed him the gift box in her hands.


    Speaking of which, she had be acquainted with this old man because of tea.


    He was addicted to tea, and happened to know a thing or two about tea culture. It was through this that


    they became friends.


    “Grandpa Dirk, I had specifically selected the finest tea brick for you. I’ve brought it specially from my


    country. It’s very valuable and the quality is superb.”


    Grandpa Dirk took a look inside the gift box, already feeling greedy, and epted it wholeheartedly.


    “I guess you really did miss me.”


    “Of course, you’ve treated me so well, I definitely missed you a lot.”


    Neera was trying her best to tter him in the most subtle way, coaxed him and made a few jokes.


    “Please drink this tea slowly, Grandpa Dirk, and remember to help me keep count! I have some urgent


    matters, I’ll head in first.”


    She was prepared to sneak in.


    But just as she was about to take a step, she was stopped yet again.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Grandpa Dirk held the tea in one hand, and stopped her with the other, his expression changed again.


    “You cannot go in!”


    Neera felt another headacheing along. “Why? Why can the others go in, but I can’t?”


    Grandpa Dirk pursed his lips. “It’s not that I don’t want to let you in, but the President had already made


    a strict order to not let you im any more credits. If you really want to, you have to clear your


    outstanding debts first.”


    Neera was dumbfounded. “Really? Are you for real?”
