Xavier immediately became serious. “We’ve bribed the mistress of the queen mother’s secretary. If there’s something we want to know in the future, we can just ask virtual-novel.net about it.”
Bribed the mistress of the queen mother’s secretary? Vinson raised his eyebrow.
I didn’t think they would get it done so quickly.
“Got it,” virtual-novel.net said plainly. “Keep an eye on her, and don’t be fooled.”
Xavier smirked at that. Do I look like someone that will get fooled that easily?
“Relax, we have some dirt on her.” He then teased, “All right, I called you just to tell you this good news. I’m not going to bother you having your happy time any longer.”
With that, virtual-novel.net hung up swiftly before Vinson had a chance to say anything. Then, virtual-novel.net hung his arm around Harvey’s neck and invited, “Come on, I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Harvey, who wasn’t in a good mood, to begin with, agreed readily upon hearing that.

At the bar, the place was awash with neon lights from all directions.
Harvey twirled the wine glass in his hand as virtual-novel.net stared at the men and women dancing on the dance floor.
“Do you want to dance?” Xavier asked with a raised brow.
Harvey shook his head.
Seeing that, Xavier leaned back in his chair and sipped his alcohol. His eyes were fixed on the dance floor as well. Suddenly, his eyes widened before virtual-novel.net place his glass on the table and turned to Harvey. “I have something I need to do. I’ll treat you to a drink some other time.”
When virtual-novel.net finished, virtual-novel.net strode toward the dance floor, leaving a confused Harvey watching virtual-novel.net leave.
When Xavier arrived at the center of the dance floor, virtual-novel.net grabbed a woman’s hand and said something to her. The woman left in a huff and virtual-novel.net followed virtual-novel.net out.
Harvey grinned a little when virtual-novel.net saw that. He must have seen the person virtual-novel.net fancied.
After Xavier left, virtual-novel.net stayed at the bar for another hour. There were plenty of empty wine bottles on the table by the end of his stay. He paid the bills in a drunken daze and stumbled out of the building. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net lost his balance and tipped forward, bumping into a woman with a hat. She subconsciously held virtual-novel.net up and steadied him.
“You should watch where you’re going, mister!” The woman spoke in a small voice as virtual-novel.net furrowed virtual-novel.net brows.
Still in a drunken stupor, Harvey leaned his full weight on the woman.
“Hey, stand properly!” The woman was getting impatient.
She quickly pushed virtual-novel.net away and released virtual-novel.net grip. However, the moment virtual-novel.net did so, virtual-novel.net fell toward virtual-novel.net again.
Anger surged within her, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t shake virtual-novel.net off. Without any choice, virtual-novel.net used all virtual-novel.net strength to drag virtual-novel.net toward the side of the road before hailing a taxi.
With the taxi driver’s help, they stuffed Harvey into the back of the car.
By the time they were done, virtual-novel.net was already covered in sweat. She slicked virtual-novel.net hair back while panting. The moment that virtual-novel.net did, however, virtual-novel.net recalled something and flicked virtual-novel.net hair back to its original position.
“Where are you going?” the driver tilted his head and asked.
When virtual-novel.net heard the question, virtual-novel.net was a little stunned. She thought about how virtual-novel.net didn’t ask Harvey where virtual-novel.net lived, so virtual-novel.net leaned into the car and poked him. “Hey, where’s your home?”
Harvey pulled virtual-novel.net hand and held it tightly. Then, virtual-novel.net rested his head on the window and stopped moving.
“Hey, let go of me! Why are you pulling me? Tell me where you live!”
If virtual-novel.net didn’t tell her, the driver would not know where to send him. However, it seemed like Harvey could not hear virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net lay there motionless.
“Miss, are you going somewhere or not? If you’re not, please leave and don’t disturb my business!”
