I'm in the Ark, a player.

Fiameta, reminded by Mostima, also became somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, only cars!"

She murmured to herself,

Then her eyes widened suddenly.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Fiameta rushed downstairs.

Qin Tianling and Mostima exchanged a glance and followed.

By the time they got off, Fiameta had already crawled under the SUV.

A moment later, she slid out from under the car with a composite of multiple detonators covered in wires and gauges, her face grim.

"It's a car bomb."

She reached out and waved the bomb in her hand.

"If we carelessly start the engine, we'll probably be blown to pieces by this thing, right?"

It seems someone commissioned this guy to sneak over and plant the bomb, and then after planting it, he tried to sneak some things away... which is how we found him.

"Those guys from the Ironclad Society are really bold..."

This gangster-style method of revenge immediately led Fiameta to identify his suspected target.

—Don't they know which gang they've messed with recently?

"No, it really is me..."

Qin Tianling, who was standing to the side, tried to struggle a bit more, but Fiamet waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Alright, that's enough."

I know you're worried that it might be dangerous for me to go find Tie on my own.

I appreciate your kind gesture.

But this grudge... this grudge that took away my possibility of having a normal codename, I must avenge!

Even the Lord of Lateran couldn't stop me, I said it!

Fiammetta is furious!

Chapter 42, Tie Yi Hui, it's this world that's ruined you! (Bonus Chapter)

Tie Yi Hui, Jin Hong Casino

The casino, which had been vandalized by Penguin Logistics just yesterday, was naturally not open for business. The roller shutter door was half-closed, the neon light above the entrance was half-broken, and there were several dried bloodstains and drag marks left by the people who were dragged away yesterday on the dusty steps.

There aren't many people left in the casino. Most of them are either dead or in the hospital's intensive care unit. Only a few clever ones were knocked out and then lay on the ground pretending to be dead, only losing a few teeth.

The gang members cleaning up the mess in the casino now are all transferred from other territories.

In the corner, two henchmen were leaning against the wall, slacking off.

"Hey bro! Look what great finds I've gotten lately?"

One of the thugs spoke mysteriously to the other, while pulling a brightly colored videotape from his small crossbody bag. It looked a bit old, but it was brand new and unopened.

What is this?

Another person leaned closer, squinting as they looked.

"You wouldn't know this, would you?"

Rare, out-of-print videotapes of old movies!

The thug brandished the videotape in his hand with a show of bravado.

"Many years ago, this film company invested heavily in a new director...the one who's now famous for making bad movies, the one who always adds a giant monster at the end of his films!"

As a result, the director lived up to expectations and made a terrible film, causing the entire company to lose money and go bankrupt.

This has led to their movies being almost impossible to find on the market now!

To my surprise, I found this when I went to the secondhand market this morning!

I wonder who's so clueless as to sell this indiscriminately.

"They actually let me buy it for only 300 Lungmen Dollars—"

"boom!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, an explosion rang out.

The wall was blasted apart, with bricks, concrete debris, and dust exploding inwards!

The thug who had just been showing off was blasted away by the blast wave, tumbling twice in the air as the videotape slipped from his hand and landed on the ground.

At the same time, fragments of the shattered wall rained down on the ground, one of which landed squarely on the videotape lying on the floor.

"Click".

The sound of shattering plastic was insignificant in the aftershocks of the explosion, yet eerily clear.

The videotape was only half intact; the plastic casing was smashed, and the black tape was spilling out from the break.

At the cave entrance, the smoke of battle had not yet dissipated. Fiameta, holding a crossbow in one hand and a grenade launcher in the other, slowly walked in.

Her gaze swept across the room.

Tables and chairs lay scattered about, playing cards were strewn about, chips were broken all over the floor, and several gang members lay on the ground after being blown away.

Finally, her gaze fell on the videotape on the ground, which was now only half-eaten.

My heart felt like it stopped for a second.

"The Iron One Meeting is absolutely ridiculous!"

Fiameta's mouth was as sweet as honey as she uttered the curses in perfect, clear voice.

"It was you guys who did this!"

The Iron Gang's territory includes more than just the Jin Hong Casino, so why did they still target this casino?

Because Fiamet is a nobody from out of town, he doesn't know where the other Iron One outposts are.

Needless to say, Mostima, who's always on the go, is even more of a problem.

So she went to the place with the highest probability.

This casino, which they had vandalized once,

—Maybe it was someone from this casino doing this for revenge?

Fiameta had originally planned to try and see if she could use physical means to find out where her items were among the Iron One members.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, I encountered the culprit and the evidence...

What's even more hateful is!

They didn't even properly preserve the videotape!

Seeing that the videotape was only half full, Fiameta's anger flared up instantly.

Damn it, Iron One!

Seeing that the videotape was only half intact, Fiameta's anger flared up instantly.

She stared at the pile of plastic shards on the ground, her fingers gripping the crossbow handle tightly until her knuckles turned white.

That was a rare, out-of-print videotape that she had finally managed to find!

That was her only hope of escaping the strange code name!

Now everything is gone.

Only half left,

Damn it, Iron One!

With such a commotion, the gang members in the casino naturally couldn't ignore it. They flocked here from all corners, carrying weapons, and some even had crossbows that they had found out from who-knows-where.

"You bastard, you're asking for it! Kora!"

"You're asking for it, Kora!"

"You're asking for it, Kora!"

"You're asking for it, Kora!"

The thugs rushed forward.

"I think you're the ones who're asking for it, Kora!"

Give me back my videotape!

Give me back my chance to get rid of this weird codename!!!

Fiameta cursed,

Anger erupted along with the gunfire!

She pulled the trigger of the crossbow all the way down, and the chamber of the grenade launcher spun continuously.

The sounds of explosions, impacts, and screams were all mixed together.

"Wow...should we go up and help?"

Following behind Fiameta, Qin Tianling, who had entered through the cave, asked Mostima, who was standing to the side.

"No... let her vent."

We can just provide some support here.

"is it?"

Qin Tianling nodded, just as he was about to think about how to complete the task, when a task notification popped up.

[Task Completed]

[Reward Distribution]

[Helper (Secondary Pistol)]

[From Apex Legends/Titanfall]

[Description: A pistol manufactured by Blockhard Industries, using sniper ammunition, with a base magazine capacity of 5 rounds and a rate of fire of 2.6.]

20 rounds of ammunition are automatically generated and stored in the backpack every day.

Women might lie to you, but your little helper won't. If you don't win, you don't win.

Qin Tianling stared at the reward box and blinked.

How did it get done so quickly?

So the people we really need to catch aren't the ones who actually stole the stuff.

Instead, the Phoenix people believe that whoever steals something should be arrested.

No, what NPC thinks that whoever stole something is the thief?

Tie Yi is a thief!

I, Qin Tianling, am so upright, how could I possibly do something like stealing from others!

Tie Yi Hui, it's not that I ruined you, it's that this world ruined you!

The boss's office is on the second floor of the casino.
