Lin Hui almost burst out laughing as he watched her earnestly promoting "herself".

He waved his hand casually, "Let's talk about it another day. I'll contact you if I need anything."

After saying that, Lin Hui, with Jiang Qingyan in tow, turned and disappeared into the bustling night of Silver Crown City.

Watching Lin Hui's tall, departing figure, Bailey took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back to the locker room inside the trading house, glancing at the time.

"It's time to leave work."

Belle deftly took off the restrictive saleswoman uniform.

It's time to head to the West Street Players Market and get back to my "main job".

That's right, working as a sales associate at the alliance trading firm is just a side job for her; being a broker is still her main job.

......

at the same time.

About three kilometers away from the Alliance Exchange, inside a towering commercial building.

On the 72nd floor, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a young man with a buzz cut and wearing green sunglasses was sitting on the sofa with an air of nonchalance.

He held a crimson drink in his hand, but his gaze swept over the players coming and going from the Alliance Trading Post, his sunglasses lenses flashing with data assessments.

Suddenly, Bailey's image was locked onto the lens.

The young man smiled and drank the liquid in his glass in one gulp.

Then, he abruptly stood up, left the luxurious suite, and silently followed the green coordinates that were flashing on his sunglasses.

......

The sky was completely dark.

Bailey, now dressed in a worn-out gray cloak, pulled the hood down low and hurried through the maze of alleyways toward the West Street Players Market.

Just as she was crossing an intersection, a tall and slender figure suddenly emerged from the shadows and blocked her way.

The other person was tall and slender, dressed in an Alliance Enforcement Officer uniform, wearing black tactical glasses, and had a cold and stern demeanor.

If Lin Hui were here, he would recognize her at a glance as the female law enforcement officer he had met at the East Gate entrance yesterday.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the person, Bailey took a step back like a startled rabbit, her hand under the hood instantly reaching for the dagger at her waist.

But upon seeing the other person's face clearly, she paused slightly, then relaxed: "Sister Evelyn! You scared me to death! What are you doing here?"

Female law enforcement officer Evelyn raised her hand, removed her black tactical goggles, and a smile bloomed on her cool face:

"I left work early today and just happened to be passing by to drop by." Evelyn stepped forward and smoothed out the wrinkles in Belle's cloak. "Come on, let's go have dinner together!"

Bailey shook her head and said:


Evelyn looked at Belle's frail body, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes:

"How can you eat those industrially synthesized nutritional pastes every day? Look at you, you've gotten so thin lately!"

"You don't have to work so hard to earn money!" Evelyn gripped Bailey's shoulders, her voice firm and heavy. "I've said it many times, I will avenge your sister!"

Upon hearing these words...

Bailey, who had been wearing a smile, trembled slightly.

After a long silence, she bit her lip and whispered, "Sister Evelyn... their power is too great, I don't want to drag you into this..."

"Silly girl."

Evelyn gently pulled Bailey into her arms and whispered:

"I just got paid today. Come on, I'll take you to that 'Chinese Restaurant' in the city center for some extraordinary food!"

"I heard their restaurant recently hired a player chef with a 5th-tier 'Chef Specialization' skill. His extraordinary dishes are not only delicious but also nourishing to the soul!"

Evelyn released Bailey, cupped her face in her hands, and said earnestly:

"You're turning eighteen this month. Next month, on the 1st, you'll be forcibly pulled into the ranked dungeon for the first time. You'd better get your body in shape these next few days!"

Without giving Bailey any room to refuse, Evelyn raised her hand, turned on her communication bracelet, and hailed an anti-gravity levitation taxi.

"Let's go! A meal won't take up much of your time! Once you're full and have the energy, you can go to the player market to sell dungeon information later!"

Looking at Evelyn, Bailey felt as if she were seeing her sister.

When she was little, her older sister was just as gentle.

Bailey's eyes reddened slightly, but a smile returned to her face: "Mmm!"

After a while.

The two got into a spacious anti-gravity levitation taxi.

The neon lights outside the car window flashed by.

Eve glanced at the bustling night view outside the window, then turned to Bailey and instructed her:

"Belli, things have been a bit unsettled in Silvercrown City lately, with several players going missing in succession."

Bailey looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in her gray eyes: "Is it related to the city gates being sealed off last night?"

Evelyn shook her head:

"No, it's something else."

"In short, when you go to the player market recently, be careful not to go back too late at night. Be extra careful on the road..."

Bailey nodded obediently, pulling her cloak tighter around herself. "I know, Sister Evelyn, I'll be careful."

The anti-gravity levitating taxi headed towards the bustling eastern district.

And in the shadow of the building diagonally above the alleyway where they had just stopped.

A young man wearing green sunglasses quietly appeared.

He watched the taxi drive away, then stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

"You're lucky to have law enforcement officers protecting you."

He sneered, his figure disappearing back into the darkness. "However, you're not the only lone wolf in Silvercrown City..."

He marked the locations of many players.
