Class E evolved beings were nearly indistinguishable from ordinary people, possibly only possessing slightly better physical condition.
However, their genes had indeed undergone evolution, thus classifying them among evolved beings.
âBe cautious of the Supernatural Management Bureau. You andââ the manâs voice paused, lightly adding, âhave been targeted for assassination many times. â
Upon hearing his hesitation, Yuejian tightened her grip, âUnderstood.â
After finishing her wine, she stood up and approached a young man, âSir, I wish to go to this place. Could you please show me the way?â
Mesmerized by her smile, the young manâs gaze grew vacant, âI would be honored to serve you, madam.â
Meanwhile, outside the clubhouse, amidst towering buildings and deserted streets maintained by numerous security personnel, unseen figures lurked atop several high-rises.
They were Zeroâs investigation officers.
âCommander, weâve found not only firearms but also some prohibited gray items,â a young man reported from his vantage point, peering through binoculars. âTheyâre conducting transactions with businessmen from the Western Continent, making a substantial profit.â
âSmuggling of gray items?â the commanderâs gaze darkened. âTianle Media is bold indeed.â
A mere entertainment company acting so daringly as to involve itself with prohibited gray items?
âCommander, do we move in now?â the young officer asked. âWe canât let them move these items.â
âWait,â the commander instructed. âWe canât act without the Chiefâs orders.â
The young man was puzzled, âThe Chief?â
Was stopping a gray market transaction not straightforward enough that it required the Chiefs command?
âGo down and gather more information,â the commander mused. âThere are many people here today; we must avoid harming innocent civilians.â
The young man quickly prepared his climbing gear and descended the building, soon reaching the back of the clubhouse where several trucks were parked, likely containing the traded items.
Tightening his focus, he was about to take photos when a hand landed on his shoulder, âWhat are you doing?â
Startled, the young man spun around, hand reaching for his gun, only to freeze upon seeing who it was.
A woman.
Strikingly beautiful, her allure overwhelming.
âLittle brother, this matter is under my jurisdiction,â Yuejian chuckled softly.
âBe a good boy and donât compete with me, okay?â Dumbfounded, the young man instinctively agreed, ââ¦Okay.â
Yuejian snapped her fingers, âGood boy.â
She then left for the elevator, heading upstairs.
Three minutes after Yuejian departed, the young man finally snapped back to reality, drenched in cold sweat.
âHey?! What happened? Respond if you hear me!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCommander!â the young man regained his composure . âI⦠I donât know what just happened. She, sheâ¦â
He described the womanâs appearance and behavior.
The commander gasped, âWitch of the Night! Sheâs here in person?!â T18âs three leaders were shrouded in mystery, with Zero only knowing they consisted of one man and two women.
The young manâs expression shifted, âWitch of the Night?!â
âIt must be her, no mistake. We must report this to the Chief,â the commanderâs voice shook. âWitch of the Night taking action personally means this has escalated!â
Despite the fantastical title, no one underestimated Witch of the Night.
Skilled in disguise and close combat, her abilities were formidable.
From multiple encounters with Zero, it was clear she was a powerful evolved being, though her specific powers remained unknown, likely related to telepathy or mind control, indicating at least a Class A level.
Now, her presence at a criminal transaction site signaled serious implications.
The last encounter with Witch of the Night was four years ago, and her current strength was unknown.
However, she remained a formidable opponent.
The commander steadied himself and dialed a number, âHello, yes, itâs me, outside. I have an urgent report for the Chief.â
Inside the clubhouseâs first-floor hall, the ball continued as usual, but the real focus of the banquet was upstairs, where all auction items, including prohibited ones, were ready.
In the largest suite, a screen displayed the auction list.
âWhatâs going on, why hasnât the person arrived?â Hilton tapped the sofa, growing impatient. âIf this is your efficiency, I see no need for collaboration. You donât really think these auction items are enough for my support, do you?
What couldnât he obtain in the Western Continent?
Hearing this, the presidentâs expression changed, and he immediately turned to Manager Luo, his voice serious, âWhere is the person?â
âShould be on the way, thereâs traffic in the city center,â Manager Luo wiped sweat from his brow. âThe person is unconscious, there wonât be any mistakes, president, look, these are the photos taken after the capture.â
âThen use your brain. If Jiang Changning hasnât arrived, send Si Fuqing first,â the president scolded. âIsnât she at the banquet? She wonât escape.â
Manager Luo hurriedly contacted the staff at the ball, trying to get Si Fuqing into the elevator.
Once she entered the elevator, she would be at their mercy.
The president offered a placating smile, âMr. Hilton, my apologies for my employeeâs incompetence. I met a Countess downstairs; is she an acquaintance of yours?â
âA Countess?â Hiltonâs interest was piqued. âI know many; which one are you referring to?â
âA beautiful lady,â the president recalled, shivering slightly. âHer husband wasnât with her.â
âOh?â Hiltonâs interest grew. âAfter the auction, take me to see her.â
âOf course,â the president poured a drink. âMr. Hilton, this wine is specially from Sijiu, said to be reserved for the royal court in the past. Please, have a taste.â
After a few drinks, Hiltonâs spirits rose: âHas the person not arrived yet?â Manager Luo hesitated, âThe staff below said they havenât seenââ
âBang!â
His words were cut off by the sound of the door being kicked open..
