The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 192: The Vest is Really Coming Off_1
[@ilovebeingskinny: Boss, you skipped dinner to log on so early?]
[Diana: Boss, you’ve been logging on quite frequently these days.]
[Emma Gabehart: It’s not just frequently, it’s extremely frequent!]
Nathalie Quinlan wasn’t in the mood to chat with them, leaning against the wall with her beautiful legs bent.
Her fingers tapped rapidly across the phone screen.
[SUN: Any news on the thing I wanted?]
@ilovebeingskinny quickly replied to the message.
[@ilovebeingskinny: The other party has gone missing again, ┭┮﹏┭┮]
[Diana: Useless! @ilovebeingskinny]
[Emma Gabehart: Useless! @ilovebeingskinny]
[@ilovebeingskinny: 凸(艹皿艹), easy for you to say when you’re not the one dealing with it. That person is sick, you know, you’d get the same results, they never respond, or if they do, it’s just to ask for more money. I’m starting to think they’re robbing a bank.]
Nathalie Quinlan watched his complaints as messages kept flashing on the screen.
She typed only a single character with her fingertip.
[SUN: Add.]
[SUN: Give him as much as he wants, as long as he can get me the item quickly. Offer him ten times more.]
[@ilovebeingskinny: If I remember correctly, we’ve already raised the offer to nine figures, ten times that?]
[SUN: I just want the item.]
Just as she finished replying to the message, Lowie Wilmar’s phone call came through.
Nathalie Quinlan was not in a good mood, she initially didn’t want to answer, but seeing his persistent calls, she answered the phone with a furrow of annoyance.
"Hello," she said, her voice incredibly hoarse.
"Got a cold?"
After Lowie Wilmar asked, Nathalie Quinlan changed her posture to stand, leaning her elbow against the wall, and answered with irritation, "I didn’t. What’s up?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to tell you, that person you asked me to find for you? They just replied. They said they accept all your requests. If you want the materials, they can provide them, and the money can always be increased. But they have one condition: you must see their patient immediately."
Immediately?
Nathalie Quinlan pressed her lips together. What could possibly be more urgent to her now than Edric’s leg?
But she needed the rare materials.
The poor kid already had a congenital leg deformity on his left, and now with a fractured leg bone, the surgery was going to be even more complicated and difficult.
Without the item, even if she had miraculous abilities, she couldn’t save him.
It took her only a moment to relent, "...Alright."
But the condition was to treat Edric’s leg first.
"When can I get the item?"
The man on the other end of the phone sounded suspicious, "You’re very keen today, why’s that?"
"I’ll send you his contact details, you negotiate with him directly. He seems quite eager too, so he’ll probably be happy to make the trade as soon as possible."
"Okay."
Nathalie Quinlan hung up the phone.
She then received a text message from Lowie Wilmar.
At the same time, a message from [@ilovebeingskinny] arrived.
[@ilovebeingskinny: Boss, the other party doesn’t want money, they’re asking us to find a doctor for them in McKinney. As long as we find the person, they’re willing to give us the item for free.]
What’s going on today? Everyone’s acting so strange.
The boss suddenly wants to raise the nine-figure sum to a staggering ten figures.
Someone would forego a ten-figure sum in favor of finding a doctor.
Has the world become so frightening, or is it just him that hasn’t woken up yet?
Nathalie Quinlan, upon seeing the message, squinted her eyes, feeling something wasn’t quite right, but Edric’s condition was too pressing to wait.
She didn’t reply to @ilovebeingskinny’s message, instead she directly called the phone number Lowie Wilmar had given her.
The phone was picked up almost instantly after the dial tone.
Since she was going to meet to get the item, Nathalie Quinlan didn’t use a voice changer, "Hello."
"I’m the person you’re looking for. When can I get the material you mentioned? I need it urgently."
The person on the other end stayed silent for a few seconds.
She thought there was no signal, pulled away the phone to check, and saw full bars.
Doubts flickered in her eyes, tinged with annoyance, "Hello, can you hear me?"
