Chapter 399
“Mr. Fadley, besides exercising every day, there must be other reasons for your healthy body, right?
“Since there’s no one else here today, why not share with us? We also want to be as strong as you, Mr. Fadley.”
Someone started fishing for information.
After all, everyone was somewhat tipsy now.
It was the best time to get information out of him.
“I do have some other opportunities, but this is something you folks can’t learn, Yann replied. He had been fed quite a bit of alcohol by the beautiful women today.
Usually, he would not talk about this topic at all, but his guard was lowered now.
The main reason for his openness was that the drinks given to him by the women contained something else.
It made his defenses drop.
“Oh, Mr. Fadley, I’m sure it’s fascinating to hear about your extraordinary experiences. Even if we don’t have the same opportunities, telling us will broaden our horizons.” A few others chimed in, unwilling to give up.
“That’s right. The others echoed in agreement.
“Mr. Fadley, please share your story with us. I’m curious too.” The beautiful woman sitting next to Yann nestled closer to him.
The intoxicating fragrance from the woman beside Yann made him feel slightly lightheaded.
His thoughts seemed to lose control, and he subconsciously followed her lead and continued speaking.
“Well, I once met a doctor before.”
“His skills were extraordinary. He gave me a medicinal pill to take every month, and not only did all my previous ailments. disappear, but my body has also become stronger and healthier.”
Yann rambled on.
“A doctor? Where did this old doctor come from?” Everyone was curious.
“I’m not quite sure about his background.”
“Even I can’t contact him now.” Yann sighed.
“In that case, does that mean the medicine the doctor has is getting scarce with each use?” Someone raised a question.
“It’s indeed becoming scarce, but I’ve found a way to get more of it.” Yann boasted proudly.
“What is it?” The eyes of the beauty next to Yann sparkled with curiosity.
“I can’t tell you that.” Yann playfully refused with a smile.
“Can’t you tell me? I promise I won’t tell anyone else,” the woman said sweetly.
“Well…” Yann lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms.
He felt like his vision was blurry.
It was hazy, and he could only see her mouth opening and closing.
Each question seemed to tug at his heart.
He simply couldn’t refuse her.
“Then I’ll tell you. Only you…” Yann whispered softly.
“Okay.” The lady immediately leaned in closer.
Yann whispered a few words into her ear.
The others also wanted to hear it clearly.
However, a moment later, Yann collapsed onto the lady’s shoulder.
“Hey, Mr. Fadley, don’t fall asleep! You haven’t told me yet. What solution have you found?” The lady shook Yann anxiously, her expression full of eagerness.
However, Yann had already fallen fast asleep.
“Is Mr. Fadley really sleeping, or is he faking it? How could he fall asleep at such a crucial moment?” The other girls looked disappointed.
Chapter 399
However, no matter whether he was really asleep, he had already carried on the act to this extent. Naturally, they couldn’t press further for answers.
They began to joke and laugh again.
Meanwhile, Marina and Simon also removed their earphones in the next room.
“We didn’t hear the most important part. Simon pursed his lips.
At this moment, a new notification suddenly popped up on Marina’s phone.
Marina opened her phone and stared at the message. A smile instantly appeared on her face.
“Who said we didn’t hear it?”
“What do you mean?” Simon looked at her in confusion.
“Look.” Marina handed the phone in her hand to Simon.
Simon took it and glanced at the contents.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“The Akister Treasure?”
“That’s right,” Marina replied.
At this point, Simon had already figured out everything.
“That young lady is also one of your people,” Simon stated matter–of–factly.
“I made some preparations. I thought Yann might not show up, but luck is on our side.” Marina smiled.
“How can you keep something like this from me?” Simon felt helpless.
“It’s not like I intentionally hid it from you. Now you know, right?”
“By the way, we can be quite certain now that Yann wanted to unlock the Akister Treasure to strengthen his body!” Marina said.
“Not just to strengthen his body, but before this, his health was deteriorating rapidly. He probably wanted to rely on the Akister Treasure to stay alive.” Simon quickly added.
“Is the Akister Treasure capable of that?” Marina looked surprised.
“I’m not entirely sure. So far. I haven’t come across the real Akister Treasure.”
“However, according to the legends, it is indeed omnipotent. It possesses abilities beyond ordinary people’s imaginations.”
“Exactly, various factions are so eager to possess it because of that,” Simon said solemnly.
“If it’s a matter of life and death, Yann probably won’t leave the key anywhere else. He will surely keep it in a place where he can see it at all times. Only then could he feel secure.”
Marina narrowed her eyes, trying to understand Yann’s state of mind.
“So the key should be…” Simon also understood the meaning behind Marina’s words.
“On him!”
“On him!”
The two of them spoke in unison.
“I’ll inform Locke about this right away,” Marina said and sent a message to Locke.
As soon as the message was sent, Locke replied with three exclamation marks.
[It’s on him? Shouldn’t you assign the task to someone else then?]
[You want the, a master thief, to steal from him openly!]
The huge exclamation marks conveyed Locke’s frustration and resentment toward the task assigned to him.
[Why? Is the world’s greatest thief only capable of stealing things left unguarded?]
[What’s the difference? Stealing is stealing. Does it really matter where the item is?]
[Are you not capable of doing it?] Marina replied nonchalantly.
As Locke saw her message, he desperately wanted to tell her he couldn’t do it.
However, his competitive spirit overwhelmed his rationality.
[Who said I can’t? Just you wait!]
[T’ll be waiting.] Marina quickly replied.
Locke read her message and felt he was about to have a heart attack.
He then hit his hand hard in frustration.
“Why can’t I just back down?”
“Why must I uphold my pride?”
“Why can’t I just admit I can’t do it?”
Locke grumbled while holding his phone.
However, since he had already promised Marina, there was no way to take back his words.
He could only reluctantly start formulating a plant
