“Veritas Medical?” The name sounded familiar to Daniel.
The young thug reminded him, “It’s that massage parlor we went to before.”
Rosalind raised an eyebrow. “What a coincidence. You’re a former customer.”
Daniel was stunned. “But wasn’t it an old lady doing foot massages there?”
Rosalind’s expression didn’t change. “That’s right, that’s my grandmother. It used to be a foot massage place, but starting tomorrow, it’s a medical clinic. It’s pretty amusing that you’d come to intimidate us without even investigating your clients.”
Daniel’s face flushed. “We’re just trying to make a living. But don’t you worry, we won’t do it again.”
Rosalind picked up a black bag from the side, her brow arching slightly. “Call me Boss.”
Daniel didn’t get it. “Huh?”
The white-haired boy, though his eyesight was poor, was quick on the uptake. “Boss.”
“Report for duty on time tomorrow.” Rosalind waved her hand in satisfaction. “You can go now. Don’t let anyone see you.”
However, Rosalind spoke too late.
Mrs. Zade was just about to leave for her night shift on her bike when she saw the group of hulking men, and her hands trembled in fear.
“R-Rosalind, you… why are you still out so late? Why haven’t you gone home?” Mrs. Zade sidled closer to Rosalind, mustering the courage to glance at Daniel. “If your grandmother doesn’t see you soon, she’s going to call the police!”
She was clearly trying to scare off the “thugs.”
But Rosalind just smiled. “It’s nothing, Mrs. Zade. I’m just chatting with my friends.”
Mrs. Zade swallowed hard. “Friends?”
The people Rosalind had been meeting lately were getting stranger and stranger.
Rosalind watched with indifference.
But Warner, who had been standing by and witnessed the whole thing, couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle. His deep, watery eyes shimmered with a faint light, his beauty truly breathtaking.
Once everyone was gone,
Warner finally spoke, his voice pleasant. “Cure-Master, you’re quite the smooth talker. A community volunteer?”
Rosalind wasn’t bothered. “Desperate times call for desperate measures. It wouldn’t do to frighten Mrs. Zade.”
Warner’s fingertips grazed his bracelet. “You know that white-haired boy from before?”
Rosalind’s gaze drifted to the side as if she were thinking of something else, and she answered vaguely, “He was in the same dumpster as Galeno.”
Warner’s eyes darkened slightly. What did she mean, in the same dumpster?
