I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 761, Section 2.8, Chapter 10: The Silver Court

The night sky was pitch black, without stars, moon, or clouds.

The colorful neon lights illuminated the entire city, and the glass curtain walls refracted the light, which condensed and flowed into a colorful galaxy.

The wind blows through this bustling and dazzling city, from the gaps between towering buildings, from the slightly rusted fire escape railings, from the calm and still surface of the canal...

Ripples spread across the river's surface, and suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps echoed along the quiet riverbank, accompanied by the clanging of cold metal.

Every household had their doors tightly shut, and even the curtains were drawn, as if something bad would happen if they stayed out all night.

"hurry up!"

"Run faster!"

The sound of orderly footsteps echoed through the previously deserted streets. The dim streetlights flickered, illuminating the passing soldiers. Their silver light armor reflected the light, brightening the dim street slightly, but after they left, it became even more gloomy and indistinct.

Beneath the towering skyscrapers, the constant flow of traffic, like blood flowing endlessly in glowing veins, sustains the vitality and prosperity of the entire city, while also masking the slight discord.

The gilded signboard gleamed dazzlingly, luxury cars pulled up, and waiters respectfully greeted and escorted the distinguished guests inside.

Crystal chandeliers cast diamond-like dappled light onto the champagne tower, a pyramid of thirty tiers of glasses, into which amber-colored liquor was being continuously poured by waiters in white shirts and black vests.

A girl with long, misty gray hair sat at the VIP booth table, her long black dress revealing her fair legs. She crossed her legs, held a glass of champagne in one hand, and smiled slightly at the hostess who was drinking beside her.

Beneath the silver glasses, those gilded eyes were cold and uninteresting.

"Keep drinking."

Her voice blended into the music coming from the stage, and only the hostesses sitting in the booth next to her could hear it.

The girl on the other side of the booth had one hand across her flat chest and the other covering her forehead, obscuring her entire face, as if she couldn't bear to look at the scene before her.

The waiter standing next to the girl nudged her shoulder with his elbow, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Want to give her some advice?"

"Do not."

The waitress was Cang Shi, and next to her was Bertias, who was dressed as a woman. As for Mu Yin, she was the 'girl' who was sitting on the table with her legs crossed, forcing people to drink.

Time goes back half an hour.

Cang Shi invited Mu Yin to go with her as a waiter to find the so-called thief who stole the key. She thought he would agree, but Mu Yin refused without even thinking.

Mu Yin's answer left Cang Shi speechless: "Because I am rebellious by nature."

She then sought help from Bertias, who told Cang Shi that it was actually more convenient to use the identity of a female customer than that of a waitress.

Then the plan began. Mu Yin spent a fortune and chose the most luxurious package, commonly known as the "sucker's package." They went to the largest private room and built a huge champagne tower.

Everything was proceeding according to plan. They gathered all the waiters, as they could choose whomever they wanted for the money they were paid.

But no one expected that there would be troublemakers among the waiters. To be precise, Bertias may have anticipated it, but he said nothing.

At first, Mu Yin ignored the troublemaker, but the troublemaker's words became increasingly outrageous, which angered Mu Yin, and things began to spiral out of control.

The troublemaker was left behind as a matter of course, and Mu Yin began to force him to drink. If he refused, he would force him to drink. Mu Yin even knocked over the champagne tower twice, leaving the ground in a mess.

In the end, even the troublemaker got scared and had no choice but to obey.

And that's how the current scene came about.

The original plan to gather the waiters to find the thief completely failed, and no one even knew where Mu Yin had put it.

Mu Yin is now completely at odds with that troublemaker.

Because nothing was found in those thirty minutes, the banquet hall could not remain closed and had no choice but to continue welcoming guests due to the guests' insistence.

In other words, it's too late for any plan now, because people are moving around, and any thief can slip out, unless they're still in their private room. Since Mu Yin angered them, no one is allowed to leave the room anymore, but those who ordered the most expensive set meal have that privilege of entering.

"Never mind, I've made money anyway, and it's his job to find the things. As long as he's willing," Cang Shi sighed softly.

“Perhaps, that thing is in this private room?” Bertias said casually.

"Um?!"

"Before coming here, I heard that this place only accepts customers who order the most expensive set meal, and almost no one has ever ordered this set meal, since it's a set meal for suckers. If I were a thief, I would definitely come to this private room where no one would ever come in to rest under martial law, because no other place can guarantee absolute safety."

"Can't I use the toilet?"

"The nightclub's restrooms are probably the most crowded places," Bertias sneered.

Cang Shi: "..." Fine, she was just ignorant, but Bell really knows a lot.

"Besides the three of us, there are 19 people in this private room. Who do you think is the one who accidentally snuck in?"

"The waiters' uniforms have numbers, so it's impossible to fake them unless someone is replaced. I'm just a part-time worker, and I don't know most of the waiters here at the club."

"You're so proud."

"That's right, after all, I'm not an intelligence officer."

"I didn't praise you."

Bertias stood up and called out to Mu Yin, "Mu Yin, that's enough. He'll get alcohol poisoning if he drinks any more."

“I think he could have another drink…” Mu Yin glanced at the person who was vomiting and said coldly.

Fear, panic, confusion, and... tension.

What is he nervous about?
I've had at least thirty cups of wine by now, but I can still stay sober.

It was indeed a deliberate attempt to provoke him, but no one expected that he would keep the person there because of it.

If that's interesting, then let's keep drinking, until we die, until we're willing to talk.

As Mu Yin pondered this, he bent down slightly, his slender, white fingers pinching the man's chin and lifting it slightly. Sharp nails pierced the flesh, and beads of scarlet blood stained his fingers.

"Tell me, where's the key? Who gave you permission to steal it? Tell me before I make you drink yourself to death."

"No……"

"Being rich is really something, they don't treat us like human beings..."

Mu Yin grabbed the wine glass on the table and poured the amber-colored wine directly onto his head.

Beneath his silver glasses, his gilded eyes were calm yet bored. He chuckled lightly and casually tossed the wine glass in his hand aside.

The glass shattered on the floor with a 'crash'.

At the same time, the man felt a strong force coming from the back of his head, and his entire face was pressed into the leather booth.

"I'll count to ten. If you don't speak, you'll just die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate in the distance was opened with a 'bang', and a group of people dressed in light armor walked in. The young man at the head of the group had a silver ponytail, a tall and straight posture, and a steady yet elegant gait.

His light silver armor gleamed coldly under the crystal chandelier, a golden sword hung at his waist, and a red cloak draped over his back swayed slightly with his movements. He embodied all the beautiful fantasies and praises that humanity had for knights.

His handsome face held no smile, and his beautiful, ruby-red eyes stared intently at Mu Yin.

A few seconds later, he slowly said, "I am Jafar. This place has been taken over by the Church's Knights. Everyone... is not allowed to move."
