Chapter 179: Chapter 177: The Small Village

Luna took another sip of soup before looking at Elliana Lyle, pursing her lips as if struggling to suppress something, then let out a heavy sigh, seemingly reluctant to bring it up.

She first glanced at Hannah Collins, then said to Elliana Lyle, "I’ll tell you after we finish eating."

The meal took an hour, afterward Hannah Collins returned to her room, while Elliana Lyle brought Luna back to her own room.

Luna sat at the edge of the bed, beginning to recount the events from two days prior.

...

―――Two days earlier.

Wyen, Hongjia Town.

The bright moon hung high, occasional chirping of insects could be heard, the small town’s night was gentle and serene.

Luna stood by the street, the streetlight shining on her, stretching her shadow long and thin.

With hands in her pockets, she surveyed the surrounding buildings; the front of the houses was mostly tiled with small white pieces of ceramic, most being four-story buildings with gray rolling shutters.

Behind her was a mahjong parlor without a sign, its rolling shutter tightly closed, yet faint sounds of chaos could be heard from within.

"White Tile."

The rolling shutter opened, and a crowd exited, both men and women, all fashionably dressed middle-aged people.

The person she was waiting for was among them—a bald man wearing a plain white T-shirt worth a few hundred and black sweatpants, even smiling, his face exuded menace.
