Chapter 73: In the private room on the top floor, the manager had gone further, ordering another round of cleaning and making sure everything was prepared to perfection.
With a delicious feast adorning the table and fireworks beginning to light up the night sky, he dismissed the waiters and bowed deeply to Allison.
Boss, your visit took me by surprise.
I haven't had time to prepare everything.
I hope it's not too basic, he said, practically drenched in sweat.
Who would have predicted that two fools would dare to cut the line before the restaurant manager.
Relax, you've done a fantastic job.
No need to sweat, Allison responded with her usual calm.
You've been running Jasmine Restaurant like a well-oiled machine.
But now, I need you to revoke Colton's membership.
Rebecca, sitting next to him, clicked her tongue and added: Exactly.
They should be banned for life.
They lack any sense of decency and are like a pair of madmen who don't even understand human language.
The director nodded fervently.
You can count on it: this won't happen again! Actually, he didn't need anyone to remind him: after Colton's blunder today, he was already on the blacklist.
Allison waved her hand dismissively.
You can go now.
Make sure no one else bothers us.
Yes, boss.
Once they were alone, Allison served Rebecca a slice of abalone, her favorite delicacy.
On Monday I'm going to the Lloyd family house to teach Kellan's niece.
Allison's brow furrowed as she spoke.
Dealing with a girl will be easy, but my mother's whereabouts are entangled with Kinslee's, and that's the real puzzle.
Kinslee has Alzheimer's and barely remembers anything.
Plus, he's in a nursing home that no one can pinpoint.
I'm sure it's heavily guarded.
I'll have to replace a way to sneak in without them noticing.
It's going to be a tough nut to crack for you.
Rebecca wasn't worried in the slightest, offering Allison a piece of white truffle in exchange.
With your talent, why not dive back into the hacker world.
You could easily connect with top-notch medical experts.
Once you launch a reward and contact brain specialists, you can delve into the Lloyd family archives and uncover all the inside information you need.
Allison considered this as she savored her plate.
True, but it's not that easy.
She had thought about that route, but resurrecting the hacker world would take as much time as a fortune, and she would need to assemble a team.
She would need fifteen million dollars just to get the global systems up and running.
And that's the easy part.
What really worries me is the possibility of my former enemies replaceing out.
If all the assassin-for-hire organizations in the world knock on the door at once, things will get out of hand.
Right now, I just want a moment of peace.
I'm tired of the constant assassination attempts.
However, reactivating the hacker world was inevitable.
After all, it was her master's last wish.
Rebecca shrugged.
You don't have to break a sweat.
I can cover it, and you can use it however you want.
Forget fifteen million; Even a billion is a walk in the park.
You may be willing to give it to me, but I can't accept it.
If your dad replaces out, he'll probably have a heart attack, Allison joked, laughing.
And really, money is just a drop in the ocean.
I'm going to be a tutor for the Lloyd family, right? A tutor of my caliber comes with a high price tag.
Allison shrugged.
Might as well get some money out of Kellan.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But you're sure you can easily get fifteen million out of him.
Rebecca chuckled.
Don't worry; The money will flow my way, Allison said, winking.
That's fine, Rebecca scoffed, without pressing further details.
He'd never cared much about money anyway.
Allison, let's get to the point.
If murderers are going to chase you, what can I do to help you? When the time comes, I will need your family's muscle to clean up any trace of me abroad.
I'll trust you to tie up the loose ends.
I may be in the country, but I can't cover every angle.
Your family has the influence to do that.
Hearing that she could be of help, Rebecca raised her glass enthusiastically.
Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is spotless! If you ever need anything else, just say so.
I'm just afraid I won't be able to help enough.
They clinked glasses, laughing, and Rebecca couldn't help but remember.
When we first crossed paths, you weren't so fearless.
You were like a prickly hedgehog: sharp and distant, fierce and difficult to approach.
Fate had a hand in her, after all.
That prickly version of Allison hadn't hesitated to save her life.
From that moment on, Rebecca had been by her side.
Allison felt a wave of nostalgia as she reflected on her journey.
She truly was a wild child, adrift and without a compass.
If it hadn't been for my master, I probably would have rotted on that desert island.
Sensing the change in mood, Rebecca turned around quickly with a smile.
By the way, you have always been attracted to extreme sports.
The international parkour competition, held every five years, is approaching.
Maybe you should throw yourself into the ring and clarify your ideas.
Good idea.
“I’ll look at it,” Allison replies.
She hadn't really trained in ages, and the thought of the challenge excited her.
For some reason, Kellan, the man who pretended to be handicapped, always sitting in his wheelchair, came to mind.
When they had faced assassins at Athton, he had given off the same dangerous aura.
But instead of intimidating her, he intrigued her, like an extreme sport.
Allison found it fascinating.
Or maybe it was that subtle feeling of mutual attraction between two kindred spirits.
