Chapter 1222: Chapter 1194: They Look Like Father and Daughter (Monthly Ticket 2200 More) Chapter 1222: Chapter 1194: They Look Like Father and Daughter (Monthly Ticket 2200 More) The face of the man in the green cloak turned the sa color as his clothes, terrifyingly green.
He couldn’t rember at all what he had said or done, but the audio tape was irrefutable. The words had co from his mouth, and if the Green Boa heard it, his family would undoubtedly die a horrific death. With this thought, the green-cloaked man convulsed, spitting out white froth.
This just showed how unscrupulous Yuzo Joel was, even after having obtained the evidence he wanted, he didn’t forget to deal one final blow!
After seeing what Yuzo Joel had done, Mario Yuno’s first reaction was to look at Kiara, who was still pondering over how Yuzo Joel had managed it. Noticing Mario Yuno’s gaze, she felt puzzled.
“What are you looking at?”
“If it weren’t for the age not matching, I would have almost thought you had a twin brother.”
This kind of harsh tactic really seed like sothing his daughter-in-law would do!
It was just too much like his daughter-in-law’s temperant, hypnotizing and those professional things are beyond Camden’s understanding, but he knew that Yuzo Joel’s thod of coercing the man in the green cloak with the audio tape, was exactly like sothing his daughter-in-law would do, unscrupulous and with a relentlessness that wouldn’t stop until she had knocked soone down!
“Yeah… he’s really interesting,” Kiara admitted, thoroughly convinced after watching the scene.
There was always soone better, and it took the ti of eating a piece of cake to witness the power of a world-class authority, which was nothing short of admirable.
Incredible!
By now, she was completely absorbed in Yuzo Joel’s smooth interrogation technique, watching him work felt like eating ice cream on the hottest days of sumr, refreshingly cool right down to every pore.
Yuzo Joel ca out, smiling at Kiara.
“Was it good?”
“Delicious!” Kiara smiled back at him, while Camden silently moved in front of her to shield her from Yuzo Joel, baring his teeth at him.
“It was so delicious!”
“…” who asked you!!!
The Director and others ca in, and upon seeing Yuzo Joel, they eagerly asked.
“Professor Joel, may I ask—”
“I’ve dealt with him already, but he’s having a fit right now. I’ve given him a life-saving pill, so he won’t die. From now on, you can ask him anything you want, I guarantee he will tell you everything he knows.”
Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
After handling such a big case, Yuzo Joel appeared as if nothing had happened, snagging a chair and stealthily stepping on Mario Yuno’s foot before sitting down amiably beside Kiara and asking.
“I wasn’t sure if you would like it. I got it because I like it.”
“I love it. Actually, I also like Napoleon cakes. I always agonize over which one to eat. When Camden is ho, he buys both, so I can have a taste of each.”
Kiara’s response left Yuzo Joel looking pleased, more delighted to hear she liked it than if he’d enjoyed it himself.
Camden grumbled silently on the side, his jealousy bubbling up. Aye, his daughter-in-law had such a calculating eye. After showing off a bit of his skill in front of her, Yuzo Joel had gained her admiration. If only she could show so admiration for him, too—he was well-spoken and skilled, capable on the battlefield and in the kitchen, and could do… that too!
The interrogation inside progressed smoothly, and the Chief of Major Cris was thrilled with how things were unfolding. This ti they were onto sothing big, following a trail that led to vital intelligence!
They had always known that Fire Phoenix had a superior, but their informants couldn’t infiltrate that level, nor obtain more information. However, this green-cloaked man they had caught, even though he ranked lower than Fire Phoenix and didn’t know much, just saying a little bit about the Green Boa was imnsely beneficial for them.
Just when the Chief thought about thanking Kiara and Yuzo Joel, he turned his head and saw Kiara talking happily with Yuzo Joel. Glancing at the almost finished cake on the table and then at Yuzo Joel, the newly transferred Team Leader, still unfamiliar with the situation, exclaid sentintally.
“Your father is really good to you, there aren’t many parent-child pairs in the sa line of work these days. No wonder you’re so outstanding; your father is such an authority!”
The Team Leader had just been transferred in and didn’t even know what Yuzo Joel and Kiara’s last nas were. All he knew was that one was a world-class authority and the other was a top psychologist and wife of the Special Forces Captain. He thought he should quickly complint them so this “father-daughter” pair would often co by to assist.
When he said this, Kiara, Camden, and Yuzo Joel all froze.
“What did you say?” Kiara asked.
“I said your father really adores you,” he said. “Knowing how hard you work here and that One doesn’t have ti to go out and buy you pastries, he brought so over. He’s even worried that you might overwork yourself to the point of ruining your health, so he ca over personally. Where can you find a dad like that, huh!”
As these words ca out, everyone at the scene had a different mindset.
Kiara was embarrassed, “He’s not my dad…”
What kind of eyesight does this Team Leader have!
“Ah? Not your dad? Could he be your uncle then?” The Team Leader said in astonishnt. “I thought he cared so much about you that you two must be related. And you both even look a bit alike from the side.”
“How could that be? He’s just a senior colleague I highly respect. You’re thinking too much,” Kiara clarified.
Yuzo Joel, on the other hand, scrutinized the Team Leader, making him feel uneasy. What’s with that look?
“Young man, how old are you?” Yuzo Joel asked.
“Uh, 34 this year.”
“Good, I could tell you’re soone with potential, and you’ll likely do even better in the future.”
Kiara was amused. She thought Yuzo Joel was trying to defuse the situation to alleviate the awkwardness, not knowing that at this mont, Yuzo Joel genuinely found this Team Leader to be quite appealing.
Only Mario Yuno was sowhat reflective. The Chief of Major Cris’ words provided him with another angle—an approach different from jealousy. If Yuzo Joel’s feelings for Kiara weren’t of a romantic nature, what could they be?
Thanks to Yuzo Joel’s intervention, a problem that would normally take Kiara several days to solve was resolved in minutes. When they left, the Director personally saw them off, expressing his gratitude to Yuzo Joel again and again.
After the Director left, Kiara looked at Yuzo Joel, hesitating to speak.
“What is it?” he asked.
“Did you really co by because it was on your way? I want the truth.”
“No,” he admitted.
“Then why did you co?” she asked.
“What’s your guess?” he teased.
“Um, I guess you took this opportunity to teach ?” she ventured.
“Ah… actually, that’s not it. But if you want to think of it that way, you can,” he said gently. Yuzo Joel had co this way on business—planning to just catch a glimpse of his Kiara. When he learned from the Director that there was an issue, he rushed over, concerned that Kiara might tire herself out from overthinking and also wanting to demonstrate how she should handle such situations in the future.
“I didn’t really understand what I was seeing… Would you be willing to continue teaching ?” Kiara asked a bit sheepishly, “I know these are the secret techniques of your sect and not to be shared, but I’m just too curious.”
To only see half of sothing—how torturous it is.
“I happen to be free right now. How about we find a place to eat and talk?” Yuzo Joel suggested amiably, with Mario Yuno standing by, tilting his neck to watch.
Such an attitude, such a look—it really doesn’t seem like how a man looks at a woman. No wonder the Team Leader would say that; at first glance, they do seem a bit like father and daughter.
