Chapter 2

More Than Meets the Eye

"I'll offer treatment for everyone at the community square tomorrow." Then, Aria reminded them, "Remember to take the medicine. Don't stay up late to watch soap operas. They won't end so soon."

"The Tiara" was all the rage in the Elmer district at that time. All the older men and women were hooked on it.

A lot of them looked guilty after Aria said that. "We…We will sleep at 10:00 pm from now on."

In the past, no one could have imagined that this group of people would be so obedient to one person. A lot of them had made great contributions to the country. Even their identities were kept a secret.

Elmer district's community manager, Joel Hayes, had been hoping that Aria would come back sooner. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Carver, I have been keeping an eye on your house. I've not allowed anyone to approach your property."

"Thanks for the hard work." Aria bowed slightly and handed him an apple.

Joel accepted the apple with a smile. "It's no trouble at all. I trust you won't be leaving anytime soon?"

A community manager like him could never keep the neighborhood's residents under control.

"Yeah. I won't be leaving," Aria said as she took the key.

Joel replied joyfully, "That's wonderful! I'll leave you be so you can unpack your stuff. Let me know if you need anything."

Aria nodded.

She inserted the key and opened the door after Joel left. The lock was very old. It didn't seem like there was anything special about it.

But after she undid the first lock, an LCD lock appeared before her.

"Confirmation to proceed with iris scan."

Aria said casually, "Do it."

"Proceeding with iris scan. Please wait."

"Iris scan completed. Welcome home, master."

It was a very classy computerized voice that hadn't been activated for some time.

The metal door opened automatically with a "clack".

The house was instantly illuminated. There was a bookshelf that was about six feet tall which was filled with medical books and containers with herbs in them.

There was a lot of greenery at the door. Most of them were herbs. All of them were labeled.

In the middle of the living room sat a very cool-looking black and red motorcycle. It was the BMW S 1000 RR which was no longer being produced.

Aria walked over to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the fridge. She wanted to drink some water and watch some TV.

Suddenly, the phone that was charging on her desk rang. It was a custom ringtone.

"Richie Carver, wakey wakey, It's time for work! Richie Carver, wakey wakey, It's time for work! Richie—"

Aria took the call when it was about to ring for the third time. "Speak."

"Boss, there's a huge job in Southbury. Should we take it?"

Aria took a sip of the water. "What's it about?"

"The richest man in Janovin is looking for his long-lost granddaughter. They say she's in Southbury. It shouldn't be hard to find her. This job pays a lot."

Aria yawned. "Not interested."

"Hold on! Please wait, boss! There's another one. The type you like! It's also a huge job!"

The person on the other end of the call was very servile.

Aria placed her chin on the palm lazily. "Tell me about it."

"The York family of Janovin is looking for you. They're offering 10 million dollars for you to treat a patient.

"They also said that people who can find you or provide information about you will be rewarded as well. They're so stacked!"

"Why are they so generous?" Aria went into work mode immediately.

She tapped the phone and said, "Send me the details of the job."

"Sure thing!"

The next moment, the floor-to-ceiling windows became a screen, and the job information was projected on it.

The York family had been around for ages. They had protected the country for generations. If Aria's memory served correctly, they even lived in the Guardian Mansion once.

The York family had sent out invitations to quite a few renowned doctors. The invitation was in effect for a week.

The location for the consultation was set at the Caesar Hotel in Southbury. They wanted to get a doctor who would be able to treat the illness of Landon York, who was in charge of the York family operations.

There wasn't much description of Landon's condition. They only mentioned that he had been frail for a long time and that his condition couldn't be revealed to the public.

It seemed like there was more than met the eye.

Aria stretched her legs. "I'll take this job."
