Chapter 81

Standing in front of Veronica, Xavier couldn’t help pausing for a moment as he studied her pale, delicate face. “So, this is the real you.”

“Is that so? Ha!” 

“You look too thin, though. Come on. Let me take you for a meal.” With that, he grabbed her hand and led her in the direction of the One Piece Restaurant.

Yet, it was the cheapest dish.

The starting price for other dishes like the pigeon stew or pork shoulder was upwards of 600 apiece.
