The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power

Chapter 872 The Mysterious Porcelain Doll

Moreover, sooner or later, Kingsley knew he would have to take action to eliminate Stork and the group of spies behind Victoria. By then, there was no guarantee that there would not be any remaining forces using her to threaten him. Even worse, they might harm her directly to avenge his comrades. Kingsley was determined to prevent such a thing from happening.

"Boss Nicholson, you are quite an enigma!" Victoria laughed, saying, "You call me 'sister' and have helped me a lot, but you always seem to keep your distance like an ice block!"

Kingsley didn't know how to respond to her words, so he could only force a few dry laughs.

"Alright, let me get straight to the point," Victoria said, "Boss Nicholson, do you remember a person named Xaria who asked you to go and diagnose Old Mr. Kean at Jeanne D'Arc last time?" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Upon hearing the name "Xaria," Kingsley's expression suddenly stiffened. Stork! What is she trying to pull off now?

"I remember. Didn't you say she was your new friend?" he said in a low voice, "So, what's the matter? Does she have another friend who's sick?"

Victoria exclaimed, "You guessed it right on the mark! She just came to me and said that her friend is sick. So, she wants you to help again."

A hint of coldness flashed in Kingsley's eyes. "Alright, give me the address. I'll go."

At this point, Stork still didn't know that he was military personnel. She was clinging to Victoria to learn about the lost traditional medicine. If he pretended to have a good relationship with her and allowed her to contact him directly, she wouldn't have to bother Victoria anymore. The spies from the Empire of the Setting Sun wouldn't waste their time on an irrelevant person. This way, he could ensure Victoria's safety.

Upon hearing Kingsley's immediate agreement, Victoria smiled and said, "Boss Nicholson, you're really doing me a huge favor. Let me check with Xaria and send you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Kingsley's expression grew colder. He was curious to see what kind of trick Stork was up to this time.

As Kenny and Cassius saw that Kingsley's expression was off, they exchanged glances and asked, "Boss, is something wrong? Should I call all the brothers over?"

"No need." Kingsley shook his head. "You guys get ready to go to the Law Family. I have other matters to attend to."

"Yes, Boss Nicholson."

Since Kingsley didn't elaborate, Kenny and Cassius naturally didn't dare to ask more. They knew that when following Boss Nicholson, they only needed to follow his orders.

Kingsley left the Ramada Hotel and drove straight to the address Victoria had sent him—No. 24, Southview Road Garden Villas.

As he parked his car at the entrance of Villa No. 24, Xaria gracefully walked out. She wore a black chiffon dress that exuded an irresistible feminine charm and was incredibly sexy. Based on her appearance alone, no one would have guessed she was the heiress of the Empire of the Setting Sun's Guido Club!

"Mr. Nicholson!" Xaria opened the gate and smiled seductively. "I apologize for the trouble of having you come personally!"

Kingsley exited the car and surveyed the surroundings with a half-smile. "Miss Heart, this house of yours is nice. The Jadeland Heights hotel manager must be paid handsomely."

"Hehe…" Xaria covered her mouth and giggled. "Mr. Nicholson, you forgot I own a Thinking Cup Coffee tea restaurant too. That's where my real profits come from."

As she spoke, she led him into the villa.

As soon as they entered the villa, Kingsley noticed a peculiar antique porcelain doll with distinct characteristics of the Empire of the Setting Sun in the center of the living room. The doll wore a robe with a high bun, known as the Islandada hairdo, famous in the Empire of the Setting Sun. Its face was pale as snow, but a blood-red dot adorned the center of its lips. Overall, it looked eerie and unsettling.

Upon seeing Kingsley continuously staring at the porcelain doll, Xaria's expression subtly changed. "Oh, that... this was a gift from a friend, said to bring good luck. What do you think about it, Mr. Nicholson? Do you like it too?"

"I quite like it." Kingsley withdrew his gaze. "I just didn't expect, Miss Heart, that you would also have interested Empire of the Setting Sun artifacts."
