“Yes, yes, that’s right!” Nicholas heard it and ran to them. “See, Linda? I told you Cordelia’s the most sensible and understanding! Heh!”

“When did you say that?” Linda looked at him with a disdainful frown.

“Uh… just now!” Nicholas grinned obsequiously and hugged Linda. “Sweetheart, I know you’re reluctant to part with your best friend. I am, too. Why don’t you leave your job? Let’s move to Centrolis too!”

“What are you going to do there?” Linda chuckled. “Build your gang there? The ones in Centrolis will gobble you up!”

“It’s actually a good idea.” Zephyr eyed Nicholas, and both of them went off to one side. Zephyr lowered his voice to tell him, “Part of your businesses can be transferred to Centrolis and transformed into legal ones. I’ve informed the relevant people in Centrolis. You can come at any time you want.”

“Really?” Nicholas’ eyes shone.

Zephyr nodded with a smile.

“But it can’t be hurried. The procedures are a lot. You have to do it step by step. Ask Frederic if you don’t understand something. He’s a lawyer, so he’ll be able to give you the most appropriate solution.”

“Mm!” Nicholas shot him a grateful look.

Although they were often shooting jabs at each other, none of them slacked when it came to doing something for each other at critical times.

Zephyr smiled and told him in a whisper, “Hide some personal cash if you can when your businesses all turn legal.”

“Hmm?” Nicholas furrowed his brows.

Zephyr patted him and spoke wisely. “So you will have the money for a pack of cigarettes!”

Nicholas’ face fell. That matter was not going to be forgotten, was it!?
