Chapter: 16

“Yes, Mr. Kason Hayes," Joanna responded, her tone steady and assured.

Since the four major families in Glophia were evenly matched in power, she didn't feel the need to flatter anyone.

Kason took a moment to survey the chamber's occupants silently.

Joanna wore a pink strapless dress, her hair tied up, accentuating her graceful neck.

Sitting beside Joanna, Norah donned a similar silver-white dress, her form elegantly displayed. She casually sipped her drink, her gaze lowered, and her hair draped softly across her chest. The soft overhead lighting lent her an additional hint of mystique.

Kason signaled for his bodyguards to remain by the door and sat across from the two women.

“You've asked for me. Do you have news on the Supernatural Doctor?"

Kason sat straight, locking eyes with Joanna. “I trust you're not playing tricks on me."

His tone was even yet devoid of any warmth. His words carried a chill that seemed almost threatening.

Norah and Joanna were unfazed by Kason's intimidating tone. Having faced life-threatening situations from a young age, Norah chuckled lightly and asked, "Mr. Hayes, how exactly do you intend to convince the Supernatural Doctor to assist you?"

Kason was to the point, stating, "With money."

"And how much would that be?"

Kason turned his attention to Norah, replying, "I don't see the need to discuss specifics with you."

He turned his attention to Joanna. "Where can I find the Supernatural Doctor?"

Joanna glanced at Norah, seeking guidance. With Norah remaining silent, Joanna was at a loss for words.

Raising her glass to Kason, Norah said, “Mr. Hayes, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Supernatural Doctor, the very one you're looking for."

Kason frowned in disbelief as he heard this. It was hard for him to imagine that the lovely girl before him was the famed Supernatural Doctor. Kason found it hard to believe that such a young woman possessed the ability to save lives.

Kason scrutinized Norah with skepticism. Silence enveloped the room, punctuated only by their breathing.

"Are you truly the Supernatural Doctor?" Kason broke the silence, his voice laced with doubt.

"Yes, I am." Norah grinned, her presence illuminated by the neon lights, giving her an air of mystery and authority as if she were the ruler of the night.

“Mr. Hayes, perhaps you'd Like to share how you plan to persuade me to offer my assistance?" Norah's cold words caught Kason off guard.

“If you are really the Supernatural Doctor, I'll pay twenty million for your services. Would that suffice?" Kason scrutinized the youthful and stunning Norah. Initially, he assumed she was merely a companion tagging along with Joanna and didn't give her much thought.

However, now that her true identity surfaced, he couldn't help but regard her seriously.

Kason noticed her beauty wasn't just surface deep, unlike the typical high-society women of Glophia. Norah exuded a distinct charm. Kason thought of her as a night-blooming rose, captivating yet perilous; a solitary flower on a cliff's edge, dignified and proud; a lotus in a pond, unmatched in her grace.
