Class E evolved beings were nearly indistinguishable from ordinary people, possibly only possessing slightly better physical condition.
However, their genes had indeed undergone evolution, thus classifying them among evolved beings.
“Be cautious of the Supernatural Management Bureau. You and—” the man’s voice paused, lightly adding, “have been targeted for assassination many times. ”
Upon hearing his hesitation, Yuejian tightened her grip, “Understood.”
After finishing her wine, she stood up and approached a young man, “Sir, I wish to go to this place. Could you please show me the way?”
Mesmerized by her smile, the young man’s gaze grew vacant, “I would be honored to serve you, madam.”
Meanwhile, outside the clubhouse, amidst towering buildings and deserted streets maintained by numerous security personnel, unseen figures lurked atop several high-rises.
They were Zero’s investigation officers.
“Commander, we’ve found not only firearms but also some prohibited gray items,” a young man reported from his vantage point, peering through binoculars. “They’re conducting transactions with businessmen from the Western Continent, making a substantial profit.”
“Smuggling of gray items?” the commander’s gaze darkened. “Tianle Media is bold indeed.”
A mere entertainment company acting so daringly as to involve itself with prohibited gray items?
“Commander, do we move in now?” the young officer asked. “We can’t let them move these items.”
“Wait,” the commander instructed. “We can’t act without the Chief’s orders.”
The young man was puzzled, “The Chief?”
Was stopping a gray market transaction not straightforward enough that it required the Chiefs command?
“Go down and gather more information,” the commander mused. “There are many people here today; we must avoid harming innocent civilians.”
The young man quickly prepared his climbing gear and descended the building, soon reaching the back of the clubhouse where several trucks were parked, likely containing the traded items.
Tightening his focus, he was about to take photos when a hand landed on his shoulder, “What are you doing?”
Startled, the young man spun around, hand reaching for his gun, only to freeze upon seeing who it was.
A woman.
Strikingly beautiful, her allure overwhelming.
“Little brother, this matter is under my jurisdiction,” Yuejian chuckled softly.
“Be a good boy and don’t compete with me, okay?” Dumbfounded, the young man instinctively agreed, “…Okay.”
Yuejian snapped her fingers, ‘Good boy.”
She then left for the elevator, heading upstairs.
Three minutes after Yuejian departed, the young man finally snapped back to reality, drenched in cold sweat.
“Hey?! What happened? Respond if you hear me!”
“Commander!” the young man regained his composure . “I… I don’t know what just happened. She, she…”
He described the woman’s appearance and behavior.
The commander gasped, “Witch of the Night! She’s here in person?!” T18’s three leaders were shrouded in mystery, with Zero only knowing they consisted of one man and two women.
The young man’s expression shifted, “Witch of the Night?!”
“It must be her, no mistake. We must report this to the Chief,” the commander’s voice shook. “Witch of the Night taking action personally means this has escalated!”
Despite the fantastical title, no one underestimated Witch of the Night.
Skilled in disguise and close combat, her abilities were formidable.
From multiple encounters with Zero, it was clear she was a powerful evolved being, though her specific powers remained unknown, likely related to telepathy or mind control, indicating at least a Class A level.
Now, her presence at a criminal transaction site signaled serious implications.
The last encounter with Witch of the Night was four years ago, and her current strength was unknown.
However, she remained a formidable opponent.
The commander steadied himself and dialed a number, “Hello, yes, it’s me, outside. I have an urgent report for the Chief.”
Inside the clubhouse’s first-floor hall, the ball continued as usual, but the real focus of the banquet was upstairs, where all auction items, including prohibited ones, were ready.
In the largest suite, a screen displayed the auction list.
“What’s going on, why hasn’t the person arrived?” Hilton tapped the sofa, growing impatient. “If this is your efficiency, I see no need for collaboration. You don’t really think these auction items are enough for my support, do you?
What couldn’t he obtain in the Western Continent?
Hearing this, the president’s expression changed, and he immediately turned to Manager Luo, his voice serious, “Where is the person?”
“Should be on the way, there’s traffic in the city center,” Manager Luo wiped sweat from his brow. “The person is unconscious, there won’t be any mistakes, president, look, these are the photos taken after the capture.”
“Then use your brain. If Jiang Changning hasn’t arrived, send Si Fuqing first,” the president scolded. “Isn’t she at the banquet? She won’t escape.”
Manager Luo hurriedly contacted the staff at the ball, trying to get Si Fuqing into the elevator.
Once she entered the elevator, she would be at their mercy.
The president offered a placating smile, “Mr. Hilton, my apologies for my employee’s incompetence. I met a Countess downstairs; is she an acquaintance of yours?”
“A Countess?” Hilton’s interest was piqued. “I know many; which one are you referring to?”
“A beautiful lady,” the president recalled, shivering slightly. “Her husband wasn’t with her.”
“Oh?” Hilton’s interest grew. “After the auction, take me to see her.”
“Of course,” the president poured a drink. “Mr. Hilton, this wine is specially from Sijiu, said to be reserved for the royal court in the past. Please, have a taste.”
After a few drinks, Hilton’s spirits rose: “Has the person not arrived yet?” Manager Luo hesitated, “The staff below said they haven’t seen—”
“Bang!”
His words were cut off by the sound of the door being kicked open..
