NovelStartChapter 1345 Motive
“You really think | wouldn't notice? In fact, | was deliberately trying to confuse you.” Lana smiled smugly and pointed at Xavier.
“You've missed out on something. Even though you've already tried your best to dress up as a Turlenese, you've forgotten
something.”
“And pray tell what | forgot?” Xavier was intrigued.
“You have a tattoo there.” Lana pointed at a spot below Xavier's neck. Although he tried to cover it with his shirt, she still spotted
it.
“What's so weird about having a tattoo? It's not like I'm the only one here with a tattoo,” Xavier said nonchalantly. Throughout the
half a month he had spent with Dillon, he had also seen a tattoo on him. Hence, he wasn’t fazed by the fact that Lana had seen it.
“You're quite a stubborn bloke, aren’t you? Must you forceto say it out loud?” Lana was getting pissed at Xavier's continuous
denial. She scoffed and said, “Your tattoo is something different. It's an eagle. That's the symbol of the international detective
ranking system.”
Xavier's eyes flickered when he heard that. He didn’t expect someone to recognize it. So what? As long as | keep denying it, there's
nothing she can do. He scoffed and answered, “You're quite good at talking crap, aren't you?”
“I'm not talking crap!” Lana continued pridefully, “I've been to countless countries and seen all sorts of people. I've been told by a
friend of mine about that tattoo of yours. He's a detective as well, but he couldn’t make it into the ranking system. His lifelong wish
is to make it there and have a tattoo like yours.”
In truth, Lana was a huge admirer of detectives. She was very fond of them because detectives were capable of solving all sorts of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtproblems. She was getting upset because Xavier didn’t want to admit it.
Despite how she felt, a glint appeared in her eyes. She leaned toward Xavier's ear and whispered, “Don’t deny it. You do know that
the more you try to explain yourself, the more it’s incriminating you, right? No matter what you say, you can’t deny the fact that
you're a foreigner. Do you know what happened to all those foreigners that I've exposed in the past?”
That was the first tXavier had been so near to someone of the opposite sex, and he wasn’t used to it. He took a step back and
said, “I don’t know what you're talking about. Since you're unwilling to letstay here, I'll go somewhere else then.” With that, he
took the ID card off of Lana's hand and turned around to leave.
When Lana saw that Xavier was about to leave the hotel, she shouted, “Hey! Don't leave. Letfinish!” She hurried out of the
front desk and said, “I'll tell you something. In this country, being a foreigner is against the law. If you're exposed, no one’s going
to help you.”
Lana's words got Xavier thinking about his options. If she doesn’t reportto the authorities, no one’s going to find out I'm not
from Turlen. After all, | doubt there's anyone else in Turlen like her, who has been to so many places and knows so much.
With that thought in mind, Xavier said, “Don’t worry about me.” He wanted to leave right after he said that. However, Lana
stopped him again and uttered, “Stay here. Don’t worry. | won't report you.”
Xavier looked at her skeptically. If you're not going to report me, why did you say so much just now then?
“| promise you that | won't report you. Really. So, just stay here,” Lana urged. Deny all you want, but I'm certain you're not from
Turlen.
Xavier raised his brows and questioned, “What's your motive?” He couldn't help but think she had her motives for wanting him to
stay so badly.
Lana snorted angrily in response. Motive? Why would | have one? Obviously, | just want to learn sskills from him as a
detective. Since she had never had a chance to learn any of that, she was rather fascinated.
Wait, doesn’t that mean | do have a motive for getting him to stay? Guilt flashed across Lana's face instantly.
Under Xavier's skeptical eyes, Lana answered guiltily, “I just want to learn your skills as a detective.”
