Chapter 551 Rubbing Harmony's Belly?
It was only after James had left that, after a pause, Everyone present finally made a sound. Mason straightened his collar, composed himself, and asked, "Mr. Soderberg, what reason did the upper management give for releasing James?"
Yosef also looked at Otha unwillingly. This time, they had captured James because of his relationship with Otha.
Indeed, he had sought Otha's help to capture James, not expecting to get revenge immediately, but at least to torture James a bit. Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to torture James, but they were also played by him, which was really frustrating!
Thinking of James' smug face just now made him even more upset.
Otha sighed, "Mr. Percy, Mr. Lewis, you didn't tell me that James is with the National Security Agency. The leader just told me that James killed your sons within the bounds of the law, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"What? Someone from the National Security Agency?" Both Mason and Yosef were astounded, eager to understand when James had become associated with the National Security Agency, especially given that they had received no prior information. Upon reflection, they realized that even the Smith family seemed to have no apparent connection to the National Security Agency.
The National Security Agency was a major organization in Sunlandia, primarily responsible for domestic disputes. Mason and Yosef certainly couldn't have anticipated that James was affiliated with the National Security Agency.
This meant that dealing with James through official channels was no longer realistic.
Mason and Yosef exchanged glances, seeing the gloom and unwillingness in each other's eyes. They reached a consensus through their eye contact.
Mason and Yosef thought That revenge must be taken. If this method didn't work, they would use another.
On James' side, after he came out of the station, a camouflage Land Rover was parked by the roadside, with a tall woman standing next to it. She was wearing a military uniform and sunglasses, her sexy figure attracting a lot of attention.
However, no one dared to make a move on her. Her appearance clearly indicated she was from the military, and ordinary people wouldn't dare provoke her. Even wealthy businessmen would avoid her.
"Your efficiency is quite impressive." James walked over and said with a smile, "Thanks."
The woman in the military uniform was, of course, Clio. She shifted her gaze from James and said indifferently, "You're welcome. Mr. Smith, do you need a ride back?"
"No, I'll take a cab myself." James declined.
Clio didn't insist. She added, "Mr. Smith, you are now our martial arts instructor at the National Security Agency. Mr. Tackett hopes you can find time to give us a class this week."
James paused for a moment, then nodded.
Watching James disappear from sight, Clio got into the car and called Rolf, "Mr. Tackett, James is out. Yes, I told him, and he agreed. Okay."
After hanging up, Clio took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of curious eyes, and murmured to herself, "James, can you really lead us out of this predicament? I hope Mr. Tackett hasn't chosen the wrong person this time. "
The National Security Agency was indeed a highly esteemed organization within Sunlandia, yet beneath its illustrious facade, it concealed significant pressure and underlying crises.
In recent years, the pressure on the National Security Agency had been increasing, and Mr. Tackett, getting older, was no longer at his peak and is struggling more and more.
Without new strength, the National Security Agency wouldn't go far.
James returned to the clinic and saw Jennifer sitting there, lost in thought, looking worried. Several patients were being attended to by the staff.
"Jennifer, I'm back." James walked over and gently patted Jennifer's shoulder. Jennifer immediately trembled, turned around quickly, and upon seeing James, she was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, "Great, you're finally back! Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
Jennifer kept pinching James, afraid he might be hurt.
James felt warm inside, held Jennifer's hand, and said, "I told you, I'm fine."
Once Jennifer confirmed that James was unhurt and everything was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're okay. I was so scared."
Since it was still early, James stayed to see patients. Around noon, Harmony came by. Since James returned from the City of Mysteries, it had been a long time since he had seen Harmony, almost making him forget about her. Seeing Harmony now, he was slightly taken aback.
Harmony came this time to seek medical attention. Earlier today, as she was descending the stairs, she accidentally twisted her ankle, which has now swollen and is causing her considerable pain. Seizing this opportunity, she has come to the Hall of Benevolent Medicine to consult James.
Originally, this task should have been handled by Jennifer, but she was busy with other patients, so she handed it over to James. James had no choice but to take over.
Harmony sat on the bench and took off her shoe. Her right foot was already red and swollen, looking quite painful. James gently lifted her foot and carefully observed it before lightly applying an ice pack to ease her pain. After alleviating her discomfort, he grasped Harmony's foot and, with a sudden twist, accompanied by a faint cracking sound, skillfully set it back into place.
"Alright, just be careful not to run, and apply some ointment for two days, and the swelling will go down," James advised.
"Really? It's that simple?" Harmony said in surprise, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
James rolled his eyes and said, "What did you expect? It's just a twisted ankle, not a big deal."
Harmony acknowledged with a nod and then gazed at James, saying, "James, I've been suffering from some gastrointestinal discomfort lately. I frequently experience stomach pains and a lack of appetite. Could you help me figure out the cause?"
James had already noticed Harmony's symptoms and said, "You've been staying up late a lot recently, haven't you? Additionally, your diet is irregular."
"Well, my stomach hurts right now. Can you rub it for me?" Harmony whimpered pitifully.
She was a special patient, not being treated in the main hall but in Jennifer's office, with the door closed, so no one outside could see the scene inside.
With her request, James said irritably, "Who told you that rubbing your stomach helps with pain? Besides, can't you rub it yourself?"
Harmony replied confidently, "Jennifer told me. When my stomach hurt before, Jennifer would rub it for me, and it felt very comfortable. You're Jennifer's husband, and since Jennifer is busy with other patients, shouldn't you rub my stomach for her?"
