Chapter 655 Her Royal Highness

On the open diary, Joan only wrote a short sentence.

"your Highness?"

Audrey frowned slightly after seeing it, picked up a pen and answered under the question: Don't say it, it will be very troublesome.

Joan nodded knowingly, tore off the page, used a "magic trick" to ignite it, and finally threw the ashes into the wastebasket.

In the following time, Audrey still chatted with Joan through pen and paper. Both of them deliberately avoided sensitive topics, and they got along fairly well. Unknowingly, it was getting late, and when it was almost dinner time, Holden leisurely returned to the apartment.

Audrey saw her younger brother through the window, quickly patted Joan on the shoulder, and then pointed to her own throat.

Qiao An nodded understandingly: "That's the end of today's experiment, thank you."

Audrey responded with a friendly smile, raised her hand and lightly touched her throat, and cast the "Paladin" signature professional ability "Lay on Hands", a silver radiance containing life energy bloomed from her fingertips.

The brilliance inspired by lay on hands is actually similar to the energy invoked by healing divine spells, called "life energy" or "positive energy", which is completely opposite to the nature of "negative energy" invoked by necromantic spells such as "aphasia" , the utility is exactly opposite.

"Negative energy" brings pain and even death to living things, turning the dead into undead; "positive energy" can heal the living and bring the undead back to sleep.

The "aphasia", which was ineffective by ordinary medical methods, was instantly relieved under the infiltration of the holy light, and the negative energy that had eroded Audrey's vocal cords was swept away, and the ability to speak was quickly restored.

Audrey coughed twice, and tried to sing a set of scales. The tone was round and pleasant, and there was no abnormality in her voice at all.

"Fortunately, there are no sequelae." Audrey patted her plump and straight chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What sequelae?" Holden appeared at the stairs, looking at his sister and Joan curiously, "Have you been together all day?"

"What's the matter, do we have a problem together?" Audrey scolded her younger brother angrily, "Didn't you ask me to help Joan study the 'aphasia technique'?"

Holden timidly avoided his sister's glaring gaze, walked around Joan against the wall, and asked him in a low voice, "My sister didn't bully you, did she?"

Joan shook her head quickly: "Audrey helped me a lot."

"I can rest assured that."

In front of his sister, Holden didn't dare to joke around, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Joan, I was shopping in the dock area today, guess who I met?"

"Since you ask that, it must be someone we all know."

"That's right!"

Joan rubbed his chin in thought. In the past few days when he came to Midgard City, he hardly ever went out, while Holden often went out to participate in social activities, but the new friends he met were unlikely to be his old acquaintances who "squat at home". Most of the "acquaintances" are friends they met before they entered the city. Who could it be?

Qiao An's heart moved slightly, and a girl's face flashed in her mind.

"Let me give you some hints." Audrey couldn't help interjecting, "The person Holden met this morning is a young and beautiful girl. She doesn't seem to have much interest in Holden, but keeps asking him Inquiring about Qiao An's recent situation, it seems that she cares about you very much."

After hearing what Audrey said, Joan became more sure of her guess, and asked Holden, "Have you met Hyrule Green?"

"You guessed right, it's 'Miss Cai Fan'!" Holden nodded with a smile, "I was wandering in a big business store in the dock area in the morning, and I accidentally saw Sister Cai Fan standing inside the counter, arranging the shelves. At first I thought I thought she was working part-time in a commercial company to earn tuition fees, but after inquiring in the past, I found out that she is the little proprietress of the commercial company, and her words are more effective than the manager!"

Joan once heard from Hailaer that some relatives were doing business in the city, and she would go to the store to help out on weekends. The firm that Holden mentioned was presumably run by Hailaer's relatives. Although the encounter on the street was a coincidence, it was not worth making a fuss about.

However, Holden's next words made him feel that the world is really small and there are too many coincidences!

"I have inquired about it. The Gulf Trading Company is one of the top ten largest trading companies in Midgard. Hailar holds a lot of shares in this trading company. She is definitely a rich little rich woman, but she is still so greedy for money. Don't let it go, I really don't understand it!"

Holden snorted resentfully, and suddenly snickered again.

"Today I ruthlessly slaughtered Miss Cai Mi, and this is not over. Under my strong request, Miss Cai Mi was forced to agree to invite you, me, and my sister to the most luxurious restaurant in the city for dinner at noon tomorrow. I Let me just say it first, when the time comes, don't be polite to her, what kind of food is more expensive, let this money fan bleed hard!"

"I thought that you wanted to pursue that girl, and for a long time you were slaughtering her as a 'fat sheep'. No wonder that girl got so angry when she saw you, and called you a 'little rascal'." Audrey tilted her head. The younger brother glanced at him, "If you want me to say, Miss Green really saw you right."

"Sister! I beg you, don't say a few sarcastic remarks without causing internal injuries... Will you go to eat the big family tomorrow?"

"Of course I'm going! I also want to meet that 'Sister Cai Fan', maybe we can become good friends!" The girl's laughter was filled with youthful vigor, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Joan: "Hairal Green Is it your girlfriend?"

Joan didn't expect that she would ask such a blunt question in person. She was stunned for a moment, and then she answered cautiously: "We are very good friends, just like Holden and I."

A relieved smile appeared on the corners of Audrey's lips: "That's good, otherwise Holden and I won't be able to have dinner together."

Joan heard what she meant, and couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn. However, without thinking about it right now, he urgently asked Holden, "Did you just mention Gulf Commercial?"

"That's right, Miss Cai Mi is the proprietress of that firm, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's a coincidence that I happen to have something to pay a visit to Gulf Commercial Bank."

Holden doesn't know the inside story of "Gulf Trading Company", but Joan knows that this trading company is actually the "liaison station" of the "Sons of Liberty" association in the Midgard area.

Hailaer appeared in the Gulf Trading Company, and her status in the trading company is not low. Does this mean that she also knows the inside story of the "Gulf Trading Company", and may even be a high-level member of the "Sons of Liberty"?

It was inconvenient for him to express these doubts in front of the Zion siblings, so he decided to find an opportunity to ask her in private after seeing Hailaer tomorrow.

"Joan, don't just talk about 'Sister Cai Mi', how are you and my sister doing today?"
