Chapter 226
Natalie took a bite of the butter cookie and commented, âSheâs quite pretty, just not very friendly.â
Christopher drummed his finger on the table. âNicholas, please fire Cherry,â he instructed the moment
Nicholas entered the room.
Nicholas stared at him in disbelief. However, he immediately caught on as he turned to face Natalie and
nodded in acknowledgment.
âUnderstood.â
Natalie couldnât be bothered to comment after Nicholas left. She simply stared at Christopher as if he
was crazy.
Heâs crazy, so I shouldnât be too surprised.
She had no desire to know Christopher, nor get herself involved with him.
In fact, she would keep her distance and stay as far away from Christopher as she could the moment
she got her hands on the snakeblood fruit.
Christopher thought Natalie had a really unique character as she glared at him. She would never go
along with the crowd nor ingratiate herself with the rich and powerful. On the contrary, she had a strong
sense of self and was always level headed.
Christopher reached out in an attempt to remove her hyperârealistic mask. It was as if he had been
bewitched by her.
He couldnât forget her real face ever since he saw what she really looks like when she passed out last
time.
However, Natalie stood up before he could even lay a finger on her face.
A redâorange glow outlined her form as the sunâs late evening rays shone on her. âIâve kept my promise
to you. Isnât it time for you to hand the snakeblood fruit you promised over to me?â Natalie said coolly.
Christopher froze in midair. He stared at his hand for a moment, burst into laughter, and put his hand
down.

He then retrieved a wooden box from his drawer before handing it over to Natalie.
Natalie opened the box excitedly. Sure enough, there was a glowing bright red fruit in the box. There was
even a faint scent of herbal wafting from it as she drew closer.
It was the snakeblood fruit.
Moreover, this snakeblood fruit had a stronger medicinal effect than the other three fruits she used on
Yana:
Yana can have more time now. Natalie smiled from the bottom of her heart upon the thought, and her
eyes shone in happiness.
âThank you.â
Natalie closed the wooden box and thanked Christopher.
âIâll be getting out of your way, then.â
Christopher knew Natalie was going to chuck him aside the moment she got her hands on the
snakeblood fruit. However, instead of getting angry, he mentioned something that would pique her
interest.
âBrat, youâre already so happy with one snakeblood fruit. I canât imagine just how much happier you will
be if I gift you the dragonblood fruit.â
Natalie paused when she heard him mention the dragonblood fruit.
âDo you know where it is now?â
âOne of my doctors suggested that I use the dragonblood fruit to manage my pulmonary disease. Hence,
Iâve been looking for it ever since.â Christopher walked over to Natalie. âThe dragonblood fruit is of no
use to me anymore now that Iâve recovered, thanks to you. However, Iâve recently received news of the
whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit...â
âReally? So, where is it?â
Christopher smiled devilishly as he watched Natalieâs eyes lit up. âBrat, I only promised you the
snakeblood fruit. Why should I tell you the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit for no reason?â
Natalie saw this coming. However, she couldnât help but try again for Yanaâs sake.

âThen, tell me what you want me to do in order for you to disclose the whereabouts of the dragonblood
fruit.â
âI donât know.â
âWhat do you mean you donât know? Itâd mean the world to me if I could get my hands on the
dragonblood fruit. The medicinal effect can help cure a good friend of mine.â Natalie narrowed her eyes
and said coldly, âI promised her she would live with her husband to a ripe old age. So, Iâm not in the
mood to joke around with you.â
âIâm not joking around with you either. I just havenât figured out what I want from you.â Christopherâs eyes
lit up. âI can tell you the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit first, but youâll owe me one wish from now
on. I will come to you the moment I figure out what I want. Do you still have the guts to carry on?â
Christopher thought Natalie would need some time to think about it. However, she replied without
missing a beat, âBring it on, Christopher.â
