Chapter 1451

Since Dean was busted by Briar and Norman, he should not have time to care about Hesper. However, to be on the safe side, Hesper told Kenji to leave first before leaving with Rickard.They avoided making contact with anyone and left the room as soon as possible. After Hesper confirmed that they were safe, she heaved a sigh of relief.It seemed to them that nobody learned of their identity, and Hesper felt relieved while walking among the crowd. They could not go to the shop directly, as it might raise suspicion if someone saw them. Therefore, they walked along the rooms while browsing through a few shops.This process was relatively relaxing. Hesper almost felt like they were no different from an ordinary couple. Occasionally, they would buy a few small items. Even though they had done the same thing the day before, it somehow felt different.Kenji felt like a third wheel following behind them, but there was nothing he could do. He could not just walk away and leave them alone to f

Lucian had likely experienced similar situations before, but Hesper could tell that he seemed to be somewhat protective of the other girl. Sure enough, the next moment, Lucian spoke up."It's not because we know each other that she's allowed to buy that medication first, but rather because this person is our business partner. In theory, she does have priority purchasing rights. My staff didn't explain this properly, and I'm truly sorry about that. I hope you can understand," Lucian explained.Although Joanna refused to let go, she accepted the Lucian's explanation. She stared at the woman for a while before leaving. Hesper raised an eyebrow. Lucian seemed different. He appeared somewhat pitiable and fragile last time, but the young man before her now seemed to be very decisive. He even stepped forward to manage the chaotic scene.As Hesper was lost in thought for a moment, Rickard suddenly came from behind and tapped her on the head. She looked up in a daze and noticed that Lucian

"Isn't this a bit inconvenient?" Hesper asked. "Apart from the black market, is there no other way to contact you? Our demand for this medication is quite substantial. We've heard about it for a while, but it's not easy to come by."Chelsea remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering her options. Eventually, she said, "I can't supply that much right now. Whatever I can produce will be sold at each black market. If you want it, please come early."After that, Chelsea did not hesitate and left the shop. Hesper raised an eyebrow. Chelsea was much more cautious than Fenix. It was not easy to gain her trust with just a few casual words. Nonetheless, today's encounter had been somewhat unexpected, so it was not a complete loss."I'm sure you didn't come here just to run into that girl," Lucian said after Chelsea had left. "You must have come to find me, and you probably already know my identity. Am I right, Mr. Chronos? And I haven't gotten to know your name yet, Miss."Rickard d

After all, Hesper found it difficult to trust them, be it Lucian or the owner of the black market. The owner of the black market was unpredictable, and Hesper did not believe they were his trump card. Whether it was Lucian or the mysterious owner of the black market, Hesper did not doubt that they had their own agendas.Sensing Hesper's hesitation, Lucian knew that his words alone were not enough to convince her. He said, "I understand you don't trust me, and I don't need to make extravagant claims. I can't influence the owner's thoughts, but I can guarantee my commitment."As a trusted confidant of the black market owner, his words carried significant weight within the black market."You can ask for any proof you want, as long as it helps you trust me," Lucian added, sincerity evident in his eyes. Hesper fell silent and contemplated. If Lucian was telling the truth, he would be a great ally. Even though she remained cautious from a rational perspective, a voice inside her told

Lucian nodded in approval and said, "You seem to know much more than I anticipated, Miss. You're truly as formidable as I imagined."Hesper did not take this as a compliment. However, she was eager to know more. She leaned in and asked, "So, what about Pierette? We have complete control over her whereabouts now.""Really? I don't think so," Lucian replied. Hesper turned to look at Rickard, who seemed unfazed as if he already knew about this. In the next second, Lucian continued, "Pierette is also in the black market now."Hesper was taken aback.They had been monitoring her position, which perfectly matched Pierette's movement patterns. They had not suspected a thing. However, it turned out that somewhere along the way, they had been fooled. Hesper's face fell. They only managed to plant the tracking device on Pierette, but now it seemed their efforts might have been in vain, as she had somehow discovered and removed it."We could trace her in the first few days, but then she no

"Alright," Lucian said readily, showing his trust in Hesper. Hesper felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she was unsure if her plan would succeed, yet she had already gotten such a big help from Lucian.She was known for her ability to spin tales, so this time, she had no reason to be apprehensive. Obtaining this information was a significant advantage for them.Cooperating with Lucian seemed to have more benefits than drawbacks. After leaving the shop, Hesper had a clearer picture of the situation. The fact that Rickard did not object indicated that their decision to cooperate with Lucian was good. However, she still had some questions in her mind."Why didn't you give me any advice?"She was confused because while Rickard trusted her, he usually had some input. When they were inside, Hesper did not ask him anything. She worried that she might accidentally expose his plan. Rickard replied, "Lucian doesn't know your identity yet. If I were to intervene too much, he might suspect so

The two of them walked over, and when Hesper saw the situation before her, she sighed. The person in the middle of this commotion was none other than Joanna, whom she had just been thinking about. She acknowledged that she was already quite experienced in causing trouble, but Joanna seemed even better than her. In the short time she had been in the black market, she had already stirred up two commotions.In the black market, disputes were usually settled privately. However, Joanna was different. She disregarded the black market's rules against quarreling and fighting. It could be considered a display of confidence."Let's see what's going on," Hesper said. Both of them were standing at a distance where they could clearly hear what the people inside were saying but not so close as to attract others' attention. It was an ideal spot for watching the commotion.However, Joanna's expression was nothing like what Hesper had imagined. Instead of having the upper hand, she appeared somewh

Perhaps no one could have anticipated that someone would suddenly stand up for Joanna. When Hesper removed her mask and hood, Joanna looked at her confusedly. "Hestia?" They had only met once, and their encounter was far from pleasing. Joanna did not understand why Hesper had suddenly stepped forward to speak for her.Without saying anything, Hesper approached Xyla and sized her up. Previously, she did not carry the surname Fogerty, and she only assumed the surname after her mother married Irvin."Don't you have a sharp tongue? Why are you suddenly silent when you're getting bullied?" Hesper asked as she raised an eyebrow, her tone sarcastic. Joanna opened her mouth but could not say anything.After all, her father was her biggest weakness, but it was not because of affection. It was because she cared too much over the years. Now, someone else had taken her place, and sometimes Joanna would wonder how things had turned out this way. Why had she been abandoned? Was it because she w

After all, she was too beautiful.Rickard noticed the man's gaze, and he looked at him. When the man met Rickard's calm and unwavering eyes, he was instantly startled, causing his admiration for Hesper to vanish completely. Hesper could not fathom how someone she had just scolded would take an interest in her, so she did not notice the changes in the man's gaze. Meanwhile, as the man did not attempt to defend Xyla, she could only cry and apologize."I'm sorry, Joanna. I shouldn't have said that. I didn't know it was something I shouldn't say. I'm really sorry. I apologize to you. Please don't let your friend scold me and Mr. Anderson again."'Mr. Anderson?' Hesper was stunned. Others observing the commotion from the sidelines started to distance themselves upon hearing this name, as getting involved with the Andersons was not something they wanted. The man had not expected that Xyla would reveal his identity and could not help cursing her as a fool in his heart. Everyone had hea

Hesper frowned. There were three Andersons here, which she had thought was quite a lot. However, it seemed there were even more members like Earl here. 'Could the Andersons' objective this time be to get all of Chelsea's medicines? It's not just that, is it? They may even have their sights set on Chelsea herself,' Hesper thought. Taking a deep breath, Hesper suppressed her curiosity. They were still outside, and there were a lot of people here. It was not a good time to ask Rickard anything. The commotion had completely died down. Joanna was different from what Hesper had imagined. She had chosen to bear the humiliation today silently, and Hesper did not want to add any more to it by saying anything else to her.Her feelings toward Joanna were somewhat complicated. She did not want to wade into this mess, but unexpectedly, the Andersons had been dragged into it. With this unexpected turn of events, she could not avoid it anymore.With everything that had happened, Hesper no longe
