After Cherry took Bella out of the bookstore, she was still in a trance.
Their first meeting after three years ended just like that.
Although it was a little short and hurried, she was still satisfied. This incident allowed her to reconnect with Boss Lin. If things continued to develop, she would have a closer cooperation with the bookstore.
Not only would she cooperate with Lin Jie or give him gifts, but she would also form an inseparable relationship with other people who also had a special relationship with the bookstore.
Only in this way could she always keep in touch with Boss Lin, because the interests between them would become the strongest bond to keep them together.
There were no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests.
That was what the past three years had taught her.
Although Cherry had always had feelings for Lin Jie and believed that he wouldn't forget his customers, she knew that to Lin Jie, she was just a customer.
A customer who wasn't irreplaceable.
If she was just a customer, she could get enough benefits from Boss Lin. However, Cherry was ambitious. She wanted more. At least, she wanted to make Boss Lin remember that he had a customer named Cherry one day.
Bella couldn't help but lower her head, saying in a low voice, "Master, Mr. Lin could be …" com
Cherry pulled herself together and said sadly, "I know. You want to say that he could be a long-lived species. He and I don't belong to the same world. My delusion won't come true."
Bella didn't expect that her master, who seemed to be obsessed with love, was actually so rational. She suddenly felt upset, "Master …"
Cherry didn't care. She raised her head and smiled at Bella, "Mr. Lin is much gentler than before."
Bella nodded to agree, but then she shook her head.
"Mr. Lin does look more easy-going and real than three years ago. He doesn't have that oppressive and cold feeling that made people breathless. But in fact, he seems to be more terrifying."
Bella still remembered the first time she met Mr. Lin. It was in this dilapidated and dark bookstore. The owner, who looked young, was stuffed with a book while the bookstore owner slowly talked about how to use language to achieve his goal without bloodshed.
Even after so many years, she still couldn't forget the young man who had raised his head to look at her when he noticed the commotion. His curious gaze seemed to have isolated an entire world of coldness.
And the smiling shadow behind him …
Cherry cocked her head. "Scary?"
She smirked. "Of course not. He has always been a very gentle and kind person."
Sure enough, this master wasn't clear-headed at all. This was a complete display of lust blinding one's mind.
"Mr. Lin was angry just now …"
Bella could only tell Lin Sanjiu what she had just felt. She sincerely said, "I hope no one will offend Mr. Lin at this time."
Cherry clasped her hands behind her back and said carelessly, "Under the current situation, only those idiots who are scheming something can mess with Mr. Lin."
"Especially Congreve, he almost brought the entire Oak Tree Chamber of Commerce into the pit. Not only did he intercept the goods, but he also led the guests into illegal transactions. I really don't know how many stupid things he has done."
Bella said in a low voice, "I'll immediately send someone to investigate the ambush at the rendezvous point. With the cooperation of the people from the Secret Ritual Tower, we'll be able to make Congreve live in pain and regret for the rest of his life as long as we find evidence."
At this moment.
The two of them suddenly stopped, looking not far away.
At the end of the street, a blonde young man with blue eyes was walking towards them. His appearance was flawless, and he had a contagious smile on his face. People couldn't help but lower their vigilance when they saw him.
However, this smile was too perfect. Every minute and every centimeter seemed to have been measured. Moreover, he always maintained this expression, which made him look like a perfect statue, strange and uncoordinated.
However, besides that, they didn't feel any hostility from this young man. On the contrary, he didn't look at them. He just glanced at them from the corner of his eyes and then walked forward.
Cherry and Bella remained vigilant, brushing past the young man.
He was walking towards the bookstore. Was he a customer of the bookstore?
This thought popped up in Cherry's mind.
Then, she saw that the young man walking towards the bookstore was carrying a red cross on his back, which was as red as blood.

Lin Jie's eyes fell on the pale stone heart.
He stood up and reached out to move the box to the front. Looking at the pale stone that filled the box, he suddenly felt a little troubled.
It was such a big object. Where should he put it?
It wasn't a problem to put some small things like gargoyles and roses on the cabinet as decorations. However, if he put a half-meter square stone on the counter, it would block his line of sight.
How could he run a business like this?
Moreover, it didn't fit with the overall decoration of his bookstore. If his store was bigger, he could change the layout and make a wall like those antique shops. He could directly put the stone in the glass and display it. It would be very cool.
The only problem was that such an eye-catching object would be stolen. This shabby bookstore didn't have any effective anti-theft measures.
Last time, Hood's group had broken in. It wouldn't be strange if a thief stole the stone again.
After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only keep it as a private collection. It would be silly to show it off to his customers …
"Just keep it as a private collection. Anyway, I have a stone. It's an achievement. I hope that Nuo Jin doesn't have the rule of handing it over to the Central District."
Lin Jie complained. Then, he tried to take the stone out of the box. However, when his hand touched the heart, an accident happened.
The pale heart shattered!
"Wait! What kind of scam is this? I just touched it! "
However, the stone obviously couldn't hear Lin Jie's stunned inner cries.
The stone shell cracked open, and a faint white brilliance bloomed from it. As it shrank and shrank, there was a sound that sounded like a heartbeat.
"Thump! Thump! "
The pale stone shell peeled off one after another. A heart that was transparent like glass was beating non-stop.
“？？？”
Wait, this is … resurrection?!
Lin Jie blinked. He vaguely felt that the heart in his chest was resonating with it and jumping with joy.
What he saw in Kandra's memories were all things that happened in the Second Epoch. Although he knew that some extraordinary species like the elves existed in this alternate world, he didn't know that there were others.
Since this ancient dragon heart came from a complete dragon skeleton, it meant that there was something wrong with the dragon skeleton.
Could it be that the dinosaurs in this world were real dragons?
