Chapter 558: Chapter 559: Not the First

Paul’s phone vibrated, and as he took out his phone to see the caller ID, he squinted slightly.

"Qian Xueying?"

"That duke’s daughter?" Jessica frowned. "What does she want?"

Paul shook his head gently and reached out to answer the call, "Miss Xueying?"

"It’s me." Over the phone was indeed Qian Xueying’s voice. "I just received news that the Duke has issued an order, a city-wide manhunt for Mr. Moses, even saying... to shoot to kill without discussion."

"Is that so?" Paul smiled, "But that... seems unlikely, right?"

"I don’t mean to probe into your secrets; I just want to give you a heads-up. If... if you need help, or I... perhaps I can think of a way to help you?"

Paul’s tone remained relaxed, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I think this might just be a misunderstanding."

He certainly didn’t believe that Qian Xueying would casually disclose the whereabouts of their group to her.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Qian Xueying spoke, "Anyway... please relay to your superior that if you need anything, I... I’m willing to serve him at any time. Good luck to you all!"

"I will thank you for your kindness on his behalf," Paul said as he hung up the call.

"What did she say?" asked Jessica.

"She said she’s willing to help us and told me to convey to the gentleman that she’s ready to serve him at any time."

Jessica smiled suggestively, "She’s willing to betray her own country. It seems this Qian Xueying has fallen for our gentleman, hasn’t she?"

Paul too smiled, "She’s not the first."

With Moses’s charisma, it was natural for numerous women to pursue him; Qian Xueying was neither the first nor the last, and Paul was not surprised at all.

"Ah!" Jessica sighed deeply, "What a pity, among all these women, he just cares about the one who loves someone else. That damn Cupid had better not cross my path, or else, I’ll surely cut off his arrow-shooting hands."

Paul was amused by her, "Luckily, we don’t have that kind of trouble."

"Exactly!" Jessica leapt to the side of the ship, "If I ever happen to fall for any man, I’ll definitely kill him with one stroke, to avoid future troubles."

Paul laughed, "Just be careful that when the time comes, you won’t be able to let him go."

"Then you’ll help me," Jessica nudged him with her elbow, "It’s a deal."

"I can’t help you with that," Paul rested his arms on the ship’s rail, "I don’t want to be chopped in half if you start to regret it."

Jessica smiled and, noticing Moses standing on a nearby terrace, her smile faded gradually.

"Same with Gaia, why come back at all after leaving!"

Paul followed her gaze, watching Moses’s silhouette.

"If only she would really come back!"

...

...

On the other side of the sea, in the Duke Residence of the Capital, Locke.

Qian Xueying paced the study with her hands behind her back and stopped with a smile.

"Excellent, it seems that even God is on my side this time."

Xiuyi brought her a cup of hot tea, "Now their conflict has intensified to a great extent; when tomorrow’s news breaks out, Gan Yuan will certainly believe it’s Moses’s retaliation and will doubt you even less."

"Exactly!" Qian Xueying took the cup and sipped lightly," When they’re both battered from their fight, we’ll step in to clean up the mess. Then, I will personally tell Gan Yuan the truth and watch her wallow in regret so intense she won’t want to go on living. Ha..."
