Chapter 242: The Sacred Healer Hall

Upon catching sight of the three playing cards, the Orchid Lady displayed a look of astonishment. She seemed incredulous, gazing at me in disbelief. Perhaps she had been puzzled as to how her three cards ended up in my possession. In truth, when she nearly toppled into my embrace, I had discreetly swiped the cards from her.

My assistance in getting her out of a tight spot was not due to any misguided sense of benevolence or attraction; rather, I intended to gain access to the monk. There was a possibility he could facilitate a meeting with my Fourth Uncle.

Just as the Orchid Lady began to speak, the monk interjected, saying, “I do not comprehend the significance of these cards you hold. Apologies, but we must take our leave…” With that, he opened the car door.
