Chapter 261 – So It Was Like This Pt 1

As soon as he slipped into the crowd, Suo Jia untied Nicole’s bindings The next part was simple; in this kind of environment, Nicole didn’t need Suo Jia’s help at all Once she was free to move, she’d be ten ti her would be an ier return to the hotel, so Suo Jia and Nicole agreed tooutside fro them out was completely impossible; both Suo Jia and Nicole were stealth experts

Their journeys went s by the tied destination to meet up with Nicole The two didn’t dare to stop, and rushed along their route all through the night, before finally stopping the next afternoon to rest and eat Suo Jia no longer dared to consuth and spirit, so he’d die of exhaustion without rest

The two silently ate their dry rations without saying a word It wasn’t that Suo Jia was unwilling to speak, but that he had nothing to say Nicole also didn’t knohat to say; Suo Jia had saved her life Hoas she supposed to thank him?

Money, well, Nicole was absolutely certain that Suo Jia was extremely well off, and could be classified as an extremely wealthy and powerful person The amount of lance at it Aside fro this for a long ti she could do was accoh the Greater Trade Routes Unfortunately, she had so extremely important that she needed to do, and was unable to leave at the o with Suo Jia

Nicole finally raised her head and said in a low voice, “City Lord Suo Jia, I’ me But please understand, despite this, I still cannot accompany you to the Greater Trade Routes I still need to do so that’s even more important than my life”

Suo Jia furrowed his brows and asked curiously, “Although I can’t say I know you that well, but you don’t look like you’re really the type of person infatuated with money At the very least, you aren’t a slave for money In that case, why do you need so much of it?”

Faced with Suo Jia’s question, Nicole fell silent onceher conflicted expression, Suo Jia could only sigh and say, “As your friend, I’m just concerned for you I only wish to be able to help you I hope that you can tellthat concerns you Then, I won’t just watch froaze deeply at Suo Jia, but she soon lowered her head once rateful for your kindness, but you can’t help me The areat aht…” Suo Jia nodded and cal as you tellyou, then I’ll definitely come up with a way to help you Trust me, I can do it”
