Chapter 938

Gideon's face was serious when he asked, "What’s the condition?"

"To help him find the Arcane jade."

These words startled Gideon as if it surprised him.

With a smirk, Nell said, "Are you surprised as well?"

Gideon nodded.

"From your description, this person doesn’t seem very old, but his status is very high and seemingly beyond this world. It’s reasonable to say that he’s not interested in those immortality rumors. After all, as long as a person has a brain, they should be able to figure out that this rumor’s just a huge lie.

“It’s a bait to lure those who delude themselves into thinking about immortality, when in fact, nothing in this world is eternal. Who can truly live forever? So the reason he’s looking for the Arcane Jade is either a joking remark or the Arcane Jade is not at all like what the outside world says about immortality. Instead, it has another function."

Nell nodded in agreement.

"I think so too. Not only that, but he must be the only one who knows its function. Now, I have a bold guess."

Gideon looked at her and asked, "What is it?"

"I think it's possible that he actually planned and directed the whole thing from start to the end. From the time the Arcane Jade first appeared to him asking Gregory and Vickie to help him find it, as well as those god-awful rumors outside. He spread them out himself."

When Gideon heard this, he became very interested.

"Tell me, why would he do that?”

Smiling, Nell said, "It's simple. Didn't he say so? The Arcane Jane has a total of twelve pieces and only when the twelve pieces are assembled that a tremendous amount of energy will generate and a miracle will occur.

“It’s impossible to think that he didn’t look for the remaining six pieces at all over the years, but he must’ve failed. He didn't manage to find them and lost his patience.

“He’s also in a rush to find the remaining six pieces. And that is why he spread the rumors so that everyone will know that there is such a divine object in the world that can bring back the dead and live forever. That way, many people will focus their attention on this divine object, which means more people will be helping him to find it.

“Because of that, there’ll be more news about this divine object. He’ll then carefully sift through them to find reliable ones. The Arcane Jade is in this world anyway, so as long as news got out, someone will take action sooner or later. By then, won’t it make his job so much easier?"

After Gideon heard her explanation, he smiled approvingly.

"Your analysis is spot on. Perhaps that’s how he got his hands on the pieces that he has now, so he can still use this method to continue looking, right? Why does he need Gregory?"

Nell shook her head.

"I don't know, but I'm sure the fact that he only gave Gregory four months means that he cannot wait any longer. After four months, he must gather these twelve pieces of jade to do something very important to him. With his own means and current methods, he’ll never be able to find them all in four months, which is why he needs Gregory to step in."

Gideon digested this for a moment.

"I think you're right."

With a smile, Nell said, "Right?"

"Well, our Nelly’s the smartest."

The man's sudden sweet talk shocked Nell.

Immediately after, her face turned red.

She stared at him and said, "We’re talking about serious things now, don't spout nonsense."

Gideon laughed as he said, "What? Isn't that what I'm talking about? I’m being serious. It's a fact!"

He said this while he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

Nell leaned on his shoulder, looked at the starry sky overhead, and sighed.

"I think Vickie’s a very nice girl. I really don't want anything to happen to her. I hope they can get something out of this visit."

Gideon, however, was not so optimistic.

"Have you ever thought that even if they get past this hurdle and get the medicine, it's only a temporary suppression? The other party can't continuously give her the medicine she has to take and she can't keep taking it for the rest of her life. Once the other party stops giving it to her and cuts off her supply, she won't be able to live."

When he said that, it made Nell's heart heavy.

She tilted her head up to look at his chin and asked, "Then what should we do? The other party has also said that there’s no cure for this disease at the moment."

Gideon looked at her and smiled lightly.

"There’s indeed no cure, but isn't there already a medicine that can suppress this disease? Look at the rest of the Flinders who have lived their entire lives with this disease. As long as they take their medication on time, they’re just as healthy. Louis has lived to the age of 60, and he still has a long way to go. I haven't seen this disease affect him in any way."

Frowning, Nell said, "What you mean is...”

Gideon sighed lightly and said, "It’s better to teach someone to fish than to fish for them."

With this sentence, Nell suddenly had a realization.

She sat up at once. "Ah, I see! So getting a prescription is the right way to go."

Gideon nodded his head.

"I'll call him now and tell him."

She said while she quickly pulled out her phone to make a call. Standing by the side, Gideon did not know if he should laugh or cry.

He snatched the phone out of her palm all of a sudden and Nell turned to look at him. "What?"

Gideon sighed and said, "Little fool, what's the use of asking now? They haven't found the jade yet. Wouldn't it be much easier to negotiate after they have something to take to the table?"

Nell's eyes lit up.

"Ah, yes! Okay then, we'll talk about it later."

The two of them talked for a while longer until it was late, then they went back to rest in their room together.

Spoiled by the President Chapter 937 Vanished Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 The next day at noon, the flight that Gregory and Vickie took landed at the capital’s airport.

Nell and Gideon did not go to the airport to meet them. Instead, they sent Matthew and Nancy in their stead.

These two were Gideon’s and Nell’s most trusted personnel, hence they represented both of them.

Worried that Gregory and Vickie might not be familiar with China, Matthew introduced them to the scenery along the way.

Though Nancy was already familiar with the couple. After all, when Nell and Gideon went to Lin City last time, she tagged along too.

They were all talking in the car and the atmosphere along the way was harmonious.

Soon, the car was parked outside the Fengqiao Villa.

The four of them got out of the car. Nell had already heard the sound of the car engine from afar, so she immediately came out of the house, and indeed, they were there.
