Chapter 1375: Noroid

The main reason why a small restaurant could keep going was the cook’s skill, it was far more important than location and target audience.

The small restaurant near the rehabilitation center was precisely that, even its reheated food tasted delicious.

Especially the steamed braised meat, it was soft and tender when chewed; thus, it caused Kieran to squint his eyes in delight.

Kieran took in a mouthful of rice and the rice with braised meat perfectly complemented, producing a rich flavor.

“The ingredients are top-notch, the meat just melts in my mouth,” Kieran said with a smile.

“It’s really nice,” Lyn Amie mimicked Kieran’s way of eating and also showed a smile.

Meanwhile, Eckart was talking non-stop to his phone.

5 minutes later, the director heaved a sigh of relief and placed his phone done. He then gave Kieran a big ‘OK’ sign.

“I found a house that has four stories, just like you requested.”

“There are three stories above the ground, with the highest being the balcony. The underground was originally a wine cellar, it can be modified to what you wanted within a day,” Eckart said while he picked up his chopsticks.

But before Eckart could eat anything, the door of the small restaurant was pushed open.

Mei Huasheng walked in with a cold face and stopped in front of the three of them.

“Officer Mei, I’ve bought this restaurant out, and you aren’t invited, so please leave.”

Eckart placed his chopsticks down and growled.

With his position solidified, Eckart, who was already dissatisfied with Mei Huasheng, ignored courtesy.

“I want an explanation. Why, as the consultant of the show, did I not get notified?” Mei Huasheng said coldly.

Eckart jolted. He never thought Mei Huasheng would be asking about that.

He initially thought she was here because the three of them made a move without informing the police.

Eckart, however, was prepared for this question.

Firstly, there were many reporters at the scene back then, and if they contacted the police, a chain reaction would go off, thus raising the Bomber’s alarm, hence eventually ruining the whole plan.

Secondly, although Eckart didn’t tell the police at the scene, he contacted Mei Huasheng and Lin An’s superior beforehand.

So, Eckart wasn’t worried about Mei Huasheng asking the question, but it seemed like Mei Huasheng came prepared, or instead, she was tipped off?

Thoughts bloomed in Eckart’s mind, but he maintained his expression.

“You will soon be removed from the position, we will pick another consultant,” Eckart said slowly.

“But, I am still the consultant now.”

“According to the contract that we signed, I, as the consultant, must be at the scene whenever the show is shooting.”

“Once the contract terms are violated, the contents will not get aired.”

“If you did, you must remove the content and hold a press conference to clarify things, saying that it is forged!”

Mei Huasheng stood in front of the table, lowered her head slightly to look at Eckart.

Under the female officer’s glare, the director adjusted his posture uncomfortably, but after he heard what she said, Eckart, who was evasive just now, stood up.

His nose was almost in front of Mei Huasheng’s, he glared at her angrily, making the director looked like an angry bull.

“You are threatening me? I tell you, I will not accept threats quietly, no matter who stands behind you!” Eckart emphasized each and every word.

Eckart wasn’t a subtle person who would take hits quietly without retaliating, after being set up by his enemies continuously, Eckart already knew how to counterattack.

Now with Mei Huasheng before him, he didn’t mind putting Mei Huasheng under the crosshairs to test the waters.

Correct! Eckart already treated Mei Huasheng as a pawn, his enemies sent for testing him.

Otherwise, given Mei Huasheng’s personality, she wouldn’t have voiced such threats.

As for the contract?

Even if it was real, so what?

Eckart has always held the rights and initiative. He had never given up or changed anything.

However, Mei Huasheng didn’t care about the angry Eckart, she turned around and looked at Kieran. She walked past Eckart and went straight to Kieran shortly after that.

“Let me stay.” Mei Huasheng said.

“With what?” Kieran asked without looking at her.

“I want to find the lair of Noroid Church.”

“Noroid?”

The stranger term caused Kieran to raise his head.

“The Bomber you caught just now comes from Noroid Church, his tattoo is the insignia of Noroid.”

“I and my comrade-in-arms once fought these people before, but all of them died, and only I survived,” Mei Huasheng’s voice turned gloomy.

“So, you want revenge? What does it have to do with me?” Kieran raised a brow.

“Because you ruined their plan! They will find you, and I can help you!” Mei Huasheng’s tone softened. Her voice wasn’t that cold anymore, but it still didn’t change Kieran’s mind.

“No, thanks.” Kieran rejected. He wasn’t used to working with the likes of Mei Huasheng.

This particular point had never changed.

If he could shoo her away, he will not mind at all, even if she had abilities better than commoners.

Kieran didn’t want her help, he was used to fighting alone.

Therefore, Kieran threw a sign at Eckart, who was about to say something, stopping Eckart from his further actions. Then, Kieran looked at Mei Huasheng plainly.

The female officer stood there and hesitated for a few seconds before leaving the restaurant.

She knew she had nothing to move Kieran, and also knew what Kieran thought of her.

So, leaving was the best choice for her at the moment.

But leaving didn’t equate to give up.

“It’s Noroid Church!”

“Damn it! I should have thought about it! Only this crazy church can produce those kinds of lunatics who disregard people’s lives!”

“They claim to be cleansing the world, but they are the ones who should be cleansed!”

Eckart’s face turned sour after Mei Huasheng left, he looked at Kieran and said in a heavy tone.

As director of a TV station, Eckart heard about this crazy organization from some secret channels before.

Once he thought about their crazy doings, he shivered.

“2567, I’ll get some bodyguards for you.”

“And the place you’ve stayed before, that place is too secluded, it’s not safe.”

“I’ll choose another place for you.”

“Lyn Amie, you are now tasked with following 2567, 24/7. Report to me if anything goes wrong.”

“Go to my place for the night. It might not be as safe as a safe house, but it will be better than some cheap motel room.”

Lyn Amie nodded blankly as Eckart arranged things.

No doubt, Lyn Amie never heard of this so-called Noroid Church at all, neither did Kieran.

But judging from Eckart’s reaction, Kieran was able to speculate about some things.

After all, all worlds are not lacking in lunatics.

Their crazy existence would surely raise alarms everywhere, but Kieran still couldn’t show interest at the moment, because what interested him appeared.

Kieran looked outside the restaurant.

In the setting sun’s glory, a person that almost merged with the warm light was walking towards the restaurant.
