Chapter 144: How About a Game of Gwent?

Henrik rubbed his somewhat numb shoulder; he had dodged Roger's first kick but had failed to avoid the punch that followed.

"How did you investigate the data?"

"She prefers them a bit older, preferably with a beard. She told me herself, and she later chose someone exactly like that."

"What?!"

Henrik's expression resembled that of a gambler who realizes he has won a lottery but then discovers he has lost his ticket.

"Such good luck, too!"

He looked utterly heartbroken.

Roger briefly recounted what had happened.

"That Veronica is strange; she only gave me an address, and the rest was just repetition."

On the drive to the villa district, Henrik made several phone calls in succession.
