Chapter 836

“That's good to hear.” From Joseph's tone, one could tell that he was relieved. “When you disappeared after we got

the news that the underground base of Blaze in Dellmoor had been blown up, Mr. Nine thought you had sacrificed

yourself.”

“I'm fine... but not really. I'm severely wounded. The estimated time that I would need to recover is more than half

a month.”

Even though Benjamin had not conversed with a doctor about his condition, he could feel several fractures in

different parts of his body.

With his worries gone, Joseph replied excitedly, “Rest well. You deserve huge credit for blowing up Blaze's

underground base. I will suggest to Mr. Nine to reward you once you return to Loang.”

“Joseph, it wasn't me who blew up Blaze's underground base.”

“Eh?” Joseph was taken aback. “If it wasn't you, who did it?”

“A woman.”

Benjamin remembered very clearly the image of Natalie pressing down on a button before the explosion.

If she had not prepared the explosives beforehand, he would have died under Gale's firearm that day.

“Someone from Loang?” Joseph asked tentatively.

“No, someone from Chanaea.” After a few seconds of pondering, Benjamin settled on a description of Natalie. “A

very unique yet brilliant woman.”

“What's her name?”

“N—”

Before Benjamin could reveal Natalie's name, the footsteps of the doctors doing rounds came from the door.

Afraid that his identity would be revealed, Benjamin swiftly hung up with a quick “talk to you later.”

Meanwhile, far away in a majestic palace in Loang, Joseph recounted the phone call to Bastien as the latter was

working on a scale model.

Bastien was about to plant a small flag onto the model when Joseph reached the part where a woman was the one

responsible for the explosion. His movements obviously slowed as he blinked in surprise. “Benjamin said it was a

woman who blew up the underground base of Blaze?”

“That's correct.” Joseph nodded confidently.

“Unbelievable,” commented Bastien.

Yet, at the same time, an image of a woman floated to the back of his mind. It was someone he had crossed paths

with during his time in Chanaea.

Due to some changes in the political scene of Loang, Bastien had no choice but to leave Chanaea. Because of that,

he had lost contact with the woman.

If it was possible, Bastien would want to see the sly woman again.

Naturally, Natalie was oblivious to all of that.

She was busy doing what she had promised Samuel—eating well and resting.

On the other hand, Samuel was completely rid of the poison, so he moved all his work to the hospital ward. That

way, he could accompany Natalie while he worked.

During that period of time, Luna came and visited Samuel.

Whenever she visited, Steven would magically appear just on time.

Being people with sharp minds, it took Samuel and Natalie no time to figure out Steven's true intentions for showing

up.

After checking Samuel's pulse, Luna announced, “There shouldn't be anything wrong with your health anymore, Mr.

Samuel. You should be fully recovered after a few more days of rest. I would then formally bid old Mr. Bowers

farewell and depart for Greenview.”

Samuel hummed in acknowledgment before turning to Steven. “I want to stay with Nat. Steven, help me send Luna

off.”

“On it, Sam.”

Steven nodded profusely.

After Steven left to catch up to Luna, Samuel continued to peel an orange for Natalie.

The peeled orange was round and juicy. Removing a wedge, Samuel fed it to Natalie.

Natalie chewed absent-mindedly before asking the question that had been haunting her for a while. “Tell me the

truth. Between you and Ms. Garcia, is there a betrothal of a sort?”

Samuel plucked off another wedge from the orange. “Yep.”

“There really is a betrothal?” Natalie was shocked by his answer and began to stammer, “T-Then... you... she... Are

you not going to take responsibility for her?”

“It's just a betrothal. I doubt it's anything serious. It was just a casual proposal made by our grandfathers after they

had a couple of drinks.”

“But it's still a betrothal.” Remembering Luna's raised guard around herself, Natalie suddenly understood the

reason behind her reaction. “That's not really fair to Ms. Garcia, is it? Perhaps she has been waiting to marry you,

only to find out I have been dating you.”
