"Mask? I have to wear a mask just to go to a crummy bar?" Cheyenne's lip twitched slightly. If this turned out to be a gimmick, she would've wasted her 5, 000 dollars.
Regardless, she decided to go check it out.
Just as she was about to close her laptop, she suddenly noticed a small red headline on the right side of the ad page.
"The Dark League offers a reward of five hundred million for Mr. X."
She hurriedly closed the page and laughed at herself inwardly. She didn't expect her life to be worth so much.
Iker hadn't noticed her unusual mood and looked at Cheyenne with concern. "Are you really going to that place?"
She picked up her laptop, nodded, and licked her tender lips coquettishly. "Hmm, it seems interesting, doesn't it?"
"I'll go with you," Iker declared in a deep voice.
Cheyenne's gaze shifted down to his knee as she hesitated. "It's better if you don't. You still need at least another half month for your foot to heal. I can go alone."
If Omari were here, she could ask him to accompany her. She wondered if he was doing well in Onistead.
Tanner was staying to take care of Iker. Their grandfather was getting old, and the rowdy and chaotic atmosphere of a bar wouldn't be suitable for him.
"How can I feel at ease if you go alone? I can go with you. My leg is fine... I can already walk a few hundred steps."
Before Iker could finishi, Cheyenne interrupted him, "You should focus on recovering. By the way, I left my phone at home. I'll bring this old one with me, so don't worry. If anything happens, I'll call you right away."
Seeing her stubbornness, Iker knew he couldn't persuade her and could only agree.
He suggested bringing Tanner along, but she refused because it would cost an additional 5, 000 bucks!
Tanner felt wronged. "I can pay that 5, 000 myself..."
...
At 7 PM, at Waiting Café in the southern part of the city.
This is a coffee shop with an Iostranan romantic vibe that has been open for many years without ever closing down.
Funny enough, she used to come here with Kate when they were young.
They never discovered the hidden secrets of this cafe's underground.
The owner was a genuine Iostranan man, a bit overweight, with blond hair and blue eyes. He's standing behind the counter, leaning with one hand while dozing off.
Coffee shops mostly do business in the morning and late afternoon, and it's already 7 o'clock, so they're about to close.
Two attractive foreign guys were wiping the tables and chairs with towels. They glanced at the silver figure at the entrance without even lifting their heads and say, "Sorry, but the café is already closing. Please come back tomorrow."
A woman's clear and melodious voice sounded sweetly at the entrance, refreshing everyone's senses. "Oh? Is that so? But twilight came, and life is just beginning, right?"
The sleepy overweight owner suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked intently at the woman.
The warm yellow light in the shop shone on her. She was wearing a silver sequined tight-fitting halter neck short skirt that went just above her knees, with a high slit on the right side.
Her figure was perfect, dazzling to the eye. Her chestnut wavy hair fell down to her waist, accentuating her slender waist, her legs slim and fair, perfectly straight, stepping in a pair of lace-up high-heeled sandals, making her truly captivating.
