“Besides, you’re so smart, so shouldn’t you have figured it out by now?” Septimus laughed. “To be honest, I had people follow you a couple of days ago, but you’re quite impressive–you managed to shake off so many of my men.”

Madelyn snorted coldly. I hadn’t even addressed this issue yet, and this man had the audacity to mention it?

“Don’t worry, though. I have no ill intentions toward you. Investigating your identity was just to put my mind at ease.” Septimus added with a smile.

“Is that so?” Madelyn glared at him. “I hope so,”

In truth, she simply didn’t want to get too entangled with the black market to avoid unnecessary trouble.

However, since they already knew her identity, it wasn’t a big deal, especially considering that this man was currently helping her. Madelyn thought about it and decided not to pursue the matter further.

Her mind fixated on one person–Charlie Quinton.

Madelyn had heard of Quinton Group. Although it wasn’t a large corporation, it was still a prominent name in high society.

Madelyn had no personal grudge against Charlie, but since he had a relationship with Eunice and had dared to provide her with illegal drugs, he had to be punished.

Septimus thought for a moment and said hesitantly, “He does come often, but that kid seems to be important to Pigeon. If you want to go after him, it wont be easy.”

Although Pigeon’s actions were infuriating, he was a high–ranking member of the black market with considerable influence. Going after one of his people wouldn’t be simple.

Madelyn, however, was unconcerned. She sneered contemptuously, her eyes resolute. “Whether it’s easy or not is not for you to say. We’ll only know after trying
