Poverty makes me capable of anything.

“No, no, no.” Dawn smiled slightly. “I’m not threatening you. I’m just reminding you that your sister is about to become mine. As for you, we’ll play around with you slowly.”

"That's really a classic villain's line," An Ran mocked.

"Thank you for the compliment. You should worry about your sister instead. Haha, see you again sometime."

Dawn cut off all communication.

He didn't call through a normal phone; the phone had other communication devices installed, so Dawn wasn't worried about being tracked at all.

The conversation yielded nothing useful; all they learned was that the other party wanted to use Ella to threaten them.

Threaten her with Ella, emmm...

"You still don't want to say anything?"

An Ran bent down and stared at the middle-aged man.

"Heh." The middle-aged man glared back at An Ran with his swollen cheeks. "Give up on that idea. I will never betray the organization."

"Oh."

An Ran nodded, but did not act immediately. She gagged the middle-aged man and dragged him directly to the previous conference room.

The men who had been tied up were terrified when they saw An Ran leading the battered middle-aged man in, and they began to struggle violently.

An Ran removed the gag from one of the people's mouths and asked bluntly, "Which alien force are you trying to connect with through Morning Star?"

"I...I don't know what you're talking about." The man immediately shook his head, his body still trembling.

An Ran pulled out her mechanical spring knife: "I don't have time to waste here with you guys."

After saying that, she stabbed another person in the thigh with a knife.

"Waaaaah..."

The person who was stabbed cried out in pain, blood seeped out, and large beads of sweat rolled down their forehead.

I felt both afraid and angry.

Damn it, it's his fault for not telling me, not mine. Why are you stabbing me?

"To tell or not to tell."

The back of the knife slid gently across his neck, and the person who had been so defiant just moments before immediately cowered.

"I'll talk, I'll talk," he shouted.

you!

The middle-aged man glared angrily.

"Actually, I'm not really sure either," the man said.

"..."

"Hehe, then you're useless."

An Ran, who had been filled with anticipation, suddenly became furious. "How dare you mock me? Then go to hell!"

"Wait, wait, although I don't know, I do know who does."

Speaking in a tongue twister-like manner, the man quickly shook his head, fearing that An Ran would stab him to death.

"Who?"

"Besides Young Master Sven, the head of the branch family also knows about our family split. Oh, and the eldest young master is also aware of it."

“Okay.” An Ran nodded. “Write down their identification information.”

There were paper and pens on the conference table, and Anran helped him loosen the rope.

Having already witnessed An Ran's strength, this person dared not resist and obediently wrote down all the information.

"Waaah, waaah..."

The middle-aged man rolled around angrily, but since he could neither speak nor was he bound, this was the only way he could vent his anger.

"puff--"

With one stab, the middle-aged man immediately fell silent.

It's annoying to look at, and since it won't say anything anyway, I might as well just die.

After asking the remaining people one by one, An Ran, who was in a hurry, also gave them a ride.

"Click-click-click—"

"Hula-"

An Ran stood on the deck and suddenly remembered a question.

There was no one alive on the ship except her. The person who posted the mission on the dark web was also on the ship. If he hadn't jumped overboard and escaped, then hadn't he also been accidentally killed by her?

Never mind, it's not a very important thing.

Sven has been confirmed dead. The prize money has already been deposited into the dark web backend. The money will eventually be transferred to his account through the dark web, but the process will be a little slower.

We should hurry and go find Ella.

Although Ella is very strong, it would be bad if something unexpected happened to her.

An Ran was still quite worried.

He stuffed his things into his waterproof backpack, including his sandals, and jumped safely off the deck.

……

The watermelon, which wasn't very tolerant of C, finally died under Ella's torment.

The watermelon rind developed irregular cracks.

While moving it, Ella lost her grip and with a crack, the watermelon split open.

Ella stared blankly at the watermelon she was holding in her hands.

Its green outer skin reveals a crimson heart inside.

Butler No. 1 held up the umbrella. He was just a low-intelligence robot. Butler No. 1 couldn't understand what Ella was doing. He didn't even think about it. He just followed the instruction to hold up the umbrella for Ella.

The beach did not calm down.

The Aldington family's guards were mostly wiped out by the outsiders.

This incident caused a stir throughout the entire South Island.

Emergency response measures were quickly implemented.

Police were hunting down the foreigner who had committed the crime, but more and more strangers were rushing toward the shore.

"That's the one, isn't it?" Seven players were standing behind a few rocks.

【Santiago the Judge】, 【Santiago the Guru】, 【Santiago the Inspector】.

Besides the three mentioned above, the other players are from the guilds 【Space Dive】 and 【Radiance of Divine Wings】.

The one leading the way is the Holy Judge.

A blond-haired young man from A-mei's show.

He had a slicked-back hairstyle and a scruffy beard, giving him a somewhat decadent and melancholic handsomeness.

As a renowned expert player in the [San Diego] guild, he was also in charge of the kidnapping of Ella.

Anran and Ella's locations were exposed due to two videos.

Upon hearing the news of the assassination mission, the players immediately became eager to participate.

However, they have also come to realize An Ran's strength. A few people have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so they must take a roundabout approach. The first step is to kidnap An Ran's sister, Ella.

The Holy Judgment and his men were the ones who kidnapped the team.

The position of Special Operations Chief must belong to our San Diego Guild!

The judge nodded: "That's right, the little girl holding the watermelon is Anran's younger sister, Ella."

gururu said, "He even brought his sister along when he went out on a mission. I really don't know what this NPC was thinking."

"Who cares what she thinks? This is convenient for us too."

"That robot is terrifying, everyone must be careful," the Holy Judge warned.

"Don't worry, I'm very good at using a shield to pull monsters."

"Don't let your guard down. After we hold off the robots and the police, we'll take Ella away immediately."

"No problem, you'll follow my instructions."

The divine judge waved his hand.

These seven people who came were not newbies; they were all skilled players who had honed their skills in multiple games.

There are gunmen, superhumans, and engineers!

The average level is 13, and the highest level, Holy Judgment, is 15.

It ranks 16th on the 1886th ranking list.

A renowned swordsman.

Oops.

The orange juice-flavored candy quickly shrank back.

She leaned against a rock, with the guns she had just stolen placed at her feet.

She was originally here to take stock of her profits and think about how to dispose of the stolen goods, but she never expected to hear such shocking news.

Kidnapping NPCs? I can't believe these people would do something like that.

Then she looked and realized that the NPC they were going to kidnap was the little girl who had bought watermelons from her before.

Emmm...

There's nothing we can do but hope for the best.

Orange Juice Flavor felt there was nothing it could do.

Even if she could do something, she didn't want to meddle.
