Chapter 873 Clear Boundaries


    Kingsley believed Xaria, the leader of Team Nightcrawler, would be cautious enough to protect her


    identity for the sake of her operation in the Empire of Qustia. However, he couldn''t understand why


    she would have a doll with traditional attire that had strong cultural elements from the Empire of the


    Setting Sun on it at home.


    "This doll brings me good luck, so I don''t really care where it was made." Xariaughed it off with a


    smile. She then gazed at Kingsley and asked, "Anyway, I don''t get why you would ask that question,


    Mr. Nicholson. This doll is nothing but a simple item for decoration. Is its ce of origin so important


    to you? It''s just something from the Empire of the Setting Sun that I love. Do you have a problem


    with that?"


    "Of course not." Kingsley remainedposed and responded naturally. "I have no discrimination


    against the Empire of the Setting Sun. In fact, it seems to me that the country possesses some


    unique qualities when ites to manufacturing. It’s just that the doll''s appearance kind of looks


    strange to me, and I didn’t think you’d be daring enough to put it right in the middle of your living


    room." The man then added jokingly, "Anyway, I’m d that I’m a person who doesn’t get scared


    easily. If it was someone else who came here today, he or she would probably get scared out of


    their wits."


    After hearing Kingsley''s words, Xaria began to lighten up a bit. "I''m usually alone because I hardly


    get visitors. So, there''s no need for me to worry about scaring others." She chuckled.

    "Did you just say you hardly get visitors?" Kingsley raised his eyebrows and purposely asked, "Don’t


    you have friends or rtives around Cleapolis, Miss Heart?"


    Xaria shook her head as a gesture of agreement. "No, I don''t need friends or rtives because I''m


    used to my current solitary life anyway." She then changed her tune and added, "However, I would


    be delighted to have a friend like you, Mr. Nicholson."


    She gently rubbed Kingsley''s shoulder with her slender fingers, speaking with a seductive voice.


    "I hope you cane to my ce more often, Mr. Nicholson."


    While a man would likely lose his mind in response to Xaria''s seduction, Kingsley remained steady


    and calm as shown by the conviction in his eyes. After all, it seemed to him that his target, Xaria


    Kelly, who was also known by the codename Stork, had just let down her guard toward him.


    Great! Now, she believes I''m just the God of Medicine with no connections to the military


    whatsoever. This is going to benefit my situation as I lurk in the shadows by her side. Kingsley


    smiled at the thought of that.


    "Of course, Miss Heart. I''d be more than happy to be your friend and a lovelypanion to offer


    you somefort in Cleapolis." Kingsley then let go of Xaria''s hand and reached for his phone.


    "Miss Heart, now that we are friends, you could contact me directly in the future without going


    through Miss Jeanne. This is my phone number. Please kindly save it or jot it down somewhere so


    that you can buzz me. Anytime you need something, just reach out to me. After all, Miss Jeanne


    and I are not exactly close with each other."


    Xaria nced at the phone screen and smiled lightly. "Okay, I have your number now, but I have a


    question, Mr. Nicholson. Haven''t you and Victoria always considered each other something like


    brothers in arms or something?"


    "Miss Jeanne runs Jeanne Gang, and she is undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the


    underworld. Therefore, I''ve been ttering her because I want to secure my ce against the other


    gangs." Kingsley chuckled. "Nevertheless, now that my power and influence have grown stronger, I


    don''t need to rely on her for protection anymore. For that, we could be fighting each other for


    territories in the future. So, do you know why I''m telling you all this now? I don''t want to put you in a


    difficult position."


    Xaria understood what Kingsley said and nodded, covering her mouth while chuckling. "So, you''re


    saying you seduced Victoria to your advantage, aren''t you?" She gazed at Kingsley seductively.


    "Alright then, if I have to choose one of you as my friend, I''d go for you."


    When Xaria seemingly believed his words, Kingsley heaved a sigh of relief, thinking she would


    never bother Victoria again. After that, he quickly shifted the attention away from Victoria by


    changing the subject. "By the way, I thought you mentioned that a friend of yours had fallen sick


    lately. Let''s pay that friend a visit, shall we?"
