Chapter 705 - 266: When You See Miss Xu, Show Respect and Filial Piety

Xiao Qiao only understood the surface, not knowing what truly happened to that child.

Dongfang Chujiu is a person with a very strong will. The simple disappearance of a child wouldn’t drive her crazy; it’s likely something else happened to the child that pushed her over the edge.

clearly has a story, but Huo Wen’an didn’t expect her story to tug at the heart so intensely.

"She’s been in the Toy Pool for so many years, hasn’t that man ever thought of redeeming her?"

"How should I know that?"

Xiao Qiao was only redeemed by an uncle of his family after awakening his superpower. Although he is now a free person, he still doesn’t have access to the higher circles.

What he knows is all through that bar on Bai Ze Island. "When she wakes up, kindly guide her again."

Fallen Demon Street was unusually lively today. Whether they loved a good crowd or preferred staying home, the sinners all came to the street-side tavern to hear about last night’s events at the Hell Palace.

Tickets for Hell Palace are absurdly expensive, and only a very few people can afford to buy them for the privilege of a holographic tour broadcast.

The members of Hell Palace are also wealthy and powerful Super Power Users.

For the sinners on Bai Ze Island, survival is hard enough without having the money or energy to witness a real-life escape at Hell Palace.

Thus, coming to the tavern for a drink of cheap, industrially processed beer and listening to others brag about what they saw and heard last night is the choice for most sinners.

Ting-ting-tang-tang.

A door chime made of shattered bottle shards outside the tavern clinked as someone nudged it.

Hearing this, people inside the tavern casually glanced towards the entrance.

At this glance, their eyes froze.

They saw a young woman in a short motorcycle leather jacket and dark gray pencil pants, with her head bowed, walk into the bustling tavern.

Her slightly curly, black long hair was fastened at the back with a black metal hairpin, and her face was covered by a mysterious and strange mask.

Of her entire body, only a slender neck and hands were visible.

The exposed skin was whiter than snow.

Although her appearance was unclear, the woman’s good figure and her undeniable aura captured the attention of all the patrons.

The Bartender’s eyes flickered upon seeing her.

This person...

Is new.

The woman approached the bar counter, tapping on the marble surface with her fingers, a layer of colorful light cascading on her luminous fingertips under the shimmering lights. "I heard you can get the latest computers here?"

Listening to her ancient and elegant aristocratic tone, the Bartender squinted at her for a moment before replying with a smile, "Pre-orders are slightly cheaper. There’s only one in stock, which is a bit more expensive."

"I want the one in stock."

The Bartender said, "The latest Loki brand handheld computer, a new favorite product of the Hacker Alliance, is 300,000 silver coins in stock." While the market pre-order price is only 220,000 silver coins per unit.

Xu Xingguang directly revealed the Emperor Black Card with the portrait of the Divine Hidden Emperor, "Swipe the card."

Every Emperor Black Card comes with an unlimited sub-card. Only the highest-ranking individuals in the Divine Hidden Alliance are eligible to receive such a card, with less than five issued across the Divine Hidden Continent.

The Bartender immediately recognized it as an Emperor’s Sub-card, and the sub-card holds the same privileges as the black card.

Evidently, the person behind this woman is one of the pinnacle power holders of the Divine Hidden Continent.

The reason the Bartender knew about this was because his boss had mentioned it a few times. His boss was Ming Lan, who was always thinking about the Emperor’s Sub-card that his grandfather hadn’t yet given away.

Ming Lan didn’t know that the Emperor’s Sub-card he dreamt of possessing, yet never could, was already in Xu Xingguang’s possession.

The Bartender’s eyelid twitched as he spoke, "Wait a moment, I’ll go check the inventory."

Xu Xingguang nodded.

The Bartender mixed a blueberry-colored fruit wine right in front of Xu Xingguang, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "This drink is on me, please wait a moment, miss."

He then turned and went into the tavern’s back lounge.

Quickly, he opened the Intelligent Brain Terminal and dialed his boss Ming Lan.

The call was answered quickly, sounding like he hadn’t slept all night.

"Boss, I have something to report to you."

Ming Lan interrupted him, "If it’s about the destruction of Hell Palace, there’s no need to report it." He already knew.

"No." The Bartender said, "I saw the Emperor Black Card. The holder is a young woman, probably new here."
