King's Back novel Chapter 38

After a while, Jackson went back to the office with empty hands. Then Dolcie asked,

“Where is my noodles? Did you finish them all within only a while? Are you that starving?”

Dolcie felt a bit incredible.

“I didn’t eat it. I just disposed of the junk food into the trash bin.”

“Into the trash bin? You...”

Dolcie clenched her fists and said with grievance, “That’s my dinner! How dare you throw them away?”

Jackson said in a serious tone, “It is just a bowl of instant noodles! Am I not even qualified enough to dispose of such junk food? Am I that abject?”

Dolcie went mad when she saw Jackson’s indifferent expression.

But she could do nothing about it but want to make him leave first. And Dolcie needed to stay here for a whole night to finish the rest of her work.

“Well, just continue with your work. I have something else to deal with outside. I will be right back.”

Before Dolcie could manage to get him out, Jackson took the initiative to leave. As if he had seen through her mind.

Dolcie then rubbed her own temples on both side with fingers to relax herself. She continued with her work.

Jackson walked out of the building and went to the alley behind. He came to the stand named BBQ Beauty, which he just came at noon.

At the thought that Dolcie was not in a good health condition, Jackson decided to get her some light food as dinner. As for the instant noodles, just forgot about it.

Though it was almost 21:00, the BBQ stand had been overwhelmed with all kinds of guests. A lot of people started to enjoy barbecue and bottles of beer they just ordered.

Madeline mainly sold street snacks on her stand in the daytime and barbecue in the evening. She could earn rather considerable profit each day.

“Are you busy? May I have a bowl of wonton noodles, please? Oh by the way, just pack it for takeaway.”

Jackson said to Madeline.

Madeline was reckoning the money. Then she heard such a familiar voice, when she looked up, she saw Jackson.

Suddenly, she said with delight, “Well it is so late. You just got off work? Where is your girlfriend?”

Jackson paused for a while, then he realized that the girlfriend Madeline just mentioned should be Dolcie she met in the police station in the daytime.

But Jackson did not explain. He knew that Dolcie hated him when he announced their relationship in front of others.

“What? You even want to extract money from my girlfriend?”

Madeline rolled her eyes at him, “Everyone want to earn more, right? And this is just a little stand I run. I will be quite satisfied as long as I could manage to make profit.”

Jackson just smiled. Madeline then took out a bottle of beer in front of Jackson after she told the cook to prepare a bowl of wonton noodles as Jackson required.

It had been a clear night with bright moon hanging on the sky.

With night wind breezing on his face and ice old beer running down his throat, Jackson couldn’t help recalling the old days when he still fought for the Dragon Palace.

He took out a piece of picture, which he had been carrying for reminiscence.

In the picture, he sat on the noblest throne in the Dragon Palace. With a golden dragon shaped statue above the throne. Even the eyes of the dragon statue were all made of luxurious gem.

Besides him on the both side sat the four Blazing Angels, then followed by the twelve Seraphs.

Each of them was powerful and phenomenal person in the world, but they were all willing to serve Jackson as his disciples from the bottom of their hearts.

Madeline was a bit stunned. Unlike other men who would turn lustful when they saw her at the first sight, she could tell Jackson’s eyes was as calm as what he used to be at noon.

His eyes always remained calm, which upset her a bit. Madeline was wondering if she really failed to attract this man.

She was quite confident in her own beauty. Otherwise, how could she name her own stand as BBQ Beauty.

“Hey, do you want to make flirting as a kind of reward for me? But I don’t think it is enough? ”

Jackson smiled evilly.

Madeline was rendered a bit surprised by his words, and she felt her face turning a bit more blushed.

“Ma’am, the wonton noodles is ready,” at that time, the cook put the noodles on the counter.

“Well...Umm, the noodle is ready, let me get it for you.”

Madeline did not expect that what she thought seemed to be seen through by Jackson. She felt so awkward that she hurried up to the counter.

Jackson walked toward her. When Madeline was about to turn around, she felt a strong scent of man came surround her.

Then Jackson reached out his hand to take the noodles.

“Hey, I got something else to do. I can’t stay long for chat. See you next time.”

With a smile, Jackson turned around and left.

When Madeline came back to sense, Jackson had disappeared from her sight.

Madeline was a bit upset that she thumped on the ground hard. She planned to tease this boy, but she did not expect that it was she herself who was teased.
