Chapter 472 - A PEACE OFFERING (2/2)
Frank wondered if Hu Lei had guessed that his other eyes were taken by his boss. However, he dismissed the idea. No one would think so far ahead after a few casual words. She probably meant that serving the man led him to lose his eyes.
”You know I like my thrills. But that man also saved me. Perhaps he did not rescue me like a hero, but he still saved me. He gave me a chance at a better and more exciting life. If I lose a few eyes in the course of living, so be it.” He responded.
”You are a loyal one.” Hu Lei said. ”I do still want to meet this man.”
Frank became a little guarded and tense at the insistence. He knew he could not speak about his master. The man's very existence was a dangerous secret. Therefore, if push came to shove, he would fight Hu Lei.
Hu Lei sensed Frank putting his guard up. She did not mind it, so she did not react with hostility.
”I am not asking for you to betray your master. I am asking for a chance.” She decided to gamble on her uniqueness. ”Call him and let him know that I am interested in meeting him. Let him make the decision. You do not have to lie. You can talk about everything that occurred.”
His master had expressed some interest in Hu Lei from a long time before. Frank also knew that she was one of the genetically modified people from those labs. Her survival, strength and resilience fascinated that man, so he might not be averse to meeting the woman.
Moreover, if his master liked the gift, he might forgive him for letting things with the former board members of the International Health Alliance get so far. It could be considered a peace offering. He decided to plunge in.
”Very well. I will help you.” He said magnanimously.
Hu Lei was satisfied. ”Go on then. Ask if I can meet him.”
”Right now?”
”No time like the present.”
Frank thought about his master. The man tended to sleep during the day and work at night. All things considered, it was better to call at this hour instead of the morning when he was sleepy and irritable.
As he stepped away to make a call, two black vehicles drove from the property through the driveway. The one in the front drove out directly while the other stopped on the road near Hu Lei. She looked in and saw Zhong Feng alone driving.
”How is it?” Zhong Feng asked.
Hu Lei made the 'ok' sigh with a wide smile. The happiness made Zhong Feng dissatisfied. He did not want to see his wife smiling because of another man.
Frank turned and walked back to the pavement. He had a serious expression after talking to the demon king.
”How is it?” Hu Lei asked nervously.
Frank waited for a long moment before making the same 'ok' symbol as Hu Lei and smiling. The sight made Zhong Feng even more dissatisfied. Frank noticed his dark expression and waved at him twiddling fingers.
”Pick me up at Sugar Ray Pancakes tomorrow, and I will take you to him. Pack warm clothes.” Frank said before swaggering away, his rifle on his shoulder.
”Thank you.” Hu Lei said.
The man reached his motorcycle, got on it and rode off like a cool guy.
