Krystal was taken aback, holding the half-burnt cigarette between her fingers as the smoke rings slowly dissipated.

She carefully scrutinized Lina from head to toe, noting the girl’s disheveled appearance yet sensing a fearless aura

emanating from her being. Like gleaming silver stars, Lina’s eyes shone with resolute determination, reminiscent of

someone familiar to Krystal.

Lost in her thoughts, Krystal failed to realize that her cigarette had burned down, only snapping back to reality

when it scorched her hand, causing her to gasp. She quickly regained composure, adjusting her breathing and

wearing the same confident smile.

“Young lady, don’t you think you have too many questions?” she asked.

“Even if it means my death, I want to die with clarity,” Lina softly replied.

“Heh, nobody’s asking you to die. You two are precious to me,” Krystal replied.

“Valuable enough to sell?” Renee stepped forward, instinctively positioning herself in front of Lina. “We’re well

aware of the business you conduct here.”

“You catch on quickly, little girl.” Krystal smirked. “Truly worthy of being the daughter of the top performer! You’re

quite familiar with this type of situation!”

Renee trembled, looking at Krystal incredulously. It seemed that this woman knew everything about them.

Meanwhile, Lina found herself thinking that this encounter might actually be advantageous. She said, slowly

regaining her composure, “Madame Krys, it appears that you know who we are.”

“Of course.”

“Then, can you answer my question?”

“That’s not possible.” Krystal raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

“Since you know who we are… do you know who stands behind us?”

Krystal froze.

Engaged in less than honorable business throughout the years, Krystal had still been respected by well-known

figures who addressed her as “Madame Krys”. She never anticipated that one day a young girl would confront her

with a question about who stood behind them.

Nevertheless, did the girl realize that asking such a question was a major taboo in the underworld?

Krystal found it both amusing and infuriating. Skillfully, she pulled out a lighter and lit another cigarette, blowing

smoke into the air.

“Heh, young lady, you truly lack manners. Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”

“You—”

“Listen carefully. Never use the people behind you to intimidate those before you.” Krystal approached Lina,

enunciating each word. “Otherwise… before the people behind you can come to your rescue, the ones in front of

you will have already taken your life.”

Lina’s heart clenched, and she instinctively grabbed Renee’s hand, both wanting to shield each other.

Krystal burst into laughter. “Such deep sisterly love! I hope you can continue to take care of each other in the days

to come.

“Now go wash up and change your clothes.” Krystal nonchalantly stretched her body. “Don’t return to that cabin for

now. The room next to mine is vacant. You can stay there.”

Lina persisted, “Madame Krys, could you at least let us know where we’re going?”

“You’ll find out when we reach our destination.” Krystal’s gaze turned sharp. “Until then, stay put and avoid

wandering around.”

The two girls exchanged glances and remained silent, preparing to obediently take a bath and change clothes.

Just then, a heavy thump on the door startled everyone as if someone was about to break it down.

Krystal’s expression instantly turned grim. She signaled her subordinates and one of them went to open the door.

A man stood outside, accompanied by six armed henchmen.

Goosebumps ran through Lina, and her head felt light.

“Well, well, well, what brings you here, Justin?”
