Ever since Nina was imprisoned here, she hadn't seen any men around. Just as the girl was about to say something, the door to their room suddenly opened. Mrs. Quintana stood in the doorway and looked directly at Nina. "You, come with me."

Nina frowned but got up. The girl watched Nina's departing figure with a heavy heart. She had been thinking that Nina's status was unusual, and now Mrs. Quintana had personally come to take her away. Was this the start of Nina's punishment?

The girl's expression was calm, but her eyes were cold. She clenched her fists tightly. If she were to die, she would at least take Mrs. Quintana with her. Otherwise, all her suffering would be in vain. Following Mrs. Quintana, Nina remained alert. They walked a short distance before Mrs. Quintana brought her to a man. Nina immediately recognized him. It was the same man who had saved her from Mrs. Quintana earlier, known as Mr. Joker.

"I've brought her here. I'll be leaving now," Mrs. Quintana said hurriedly, turning to leave with surprising speed. The kick from Mr. Joker still ached, and her old bones felt like they were about to fall apart. She didn't dare linger here any longer.

Now, it was just Nina and Mr. Joker in the room. He handed her a black card threaded with a black string. "Wear this, and no one will dare harm you. You can move freely within the confines of this place." Holding the card, Nina asked sharply, "What's Micah's game here?"

She knew Micah was aware she had been captured. Predicting the danger she would face, he had sent Mr. Joker to protect her, giving her something that symbolized status and allowed her some freedom. But he still left her here. Nina couldn't understand his motives.
