Poverty makes me capable of anything.

The agent stood at the backstage door and waved to Cornelia.

She was relieved that at least the riot did not affect Cornelia's personal safety. As long as no one was hurt, there was still room for redemption.

"Okay, I'll be right down."

Cornelia slowly reduced the buoyancy of her clothing, and just as she was about to land on the ground, a silver blade reflecting the light suddenly shot out from her side and behind. Before she could react, the blade pierced through her skirt and knocked her to the ground as well.

"Leah!"

The agent screamed, and before she could even take a step forward, she was kicked away by a figure she hadn't seen clearly.

puff--

He hit the wall, choked, and passed out.

"Ss...uh..."

Cornelia tugged at the knife but couldn't pull it out. She watched as her manager was kicked away. She struggled to stand up, but a spray in her face made her faint.

"Take her away, leave this to me."

"Ah."

After the two shadowy figures finished exchanging words, the woman picked up Cornelia and headed towards a dark corner.

Oops.

Upon seeing the manager's terrible condition, the people backstage immediately contacted the security at the entrance. The manager was beaten beyond recognition, and Cornelia had been kidnapped. This was a major incident!

"Minister Zod." The security chief walked up to Zod with a grim expression.

"What's wrong now?"

The person in charge leaned close to Zod and whispered, "..."

"what!?"

Zod's eyes widened. Kidnapping?

Are people still being tied up like this?

Maggie raised an eyebrow: "How many entrances and exits does this stadium have in total?"

"There are only three regular exits," the security manager said.

"Then hurry up and block the doorway."

"We've managed to block them, but we're worried they might just break through the stadium. Plus, there's been an incident with the flight crew, and our manpower..."

It turns out he wanted to ask for help.

Zod brought quite a few people, but she sent them all out to track down the "orcs" who had escaped.

Maggie said, "No need for that. Just have the Time Energy Tower send some people over."

"Thanks……"

The person in charge knew that Maggie was the one in charge, and he was about to thank her, but Zod reached out and stopped him.

Then, with a pained expression, she said to Maggie, "Miss Maggie, this is against the rules. To mobilize the guards of the Time Energy Tower, you need the governor's order. If anything happens there, even 100 Cornelias couldn't afford to pay for it."

"I'm the governor's daughter, does my word have no weight?" Maggie retorted angrily.

“This…” Zod gritted his teeth, “No way.”

You're having a great time transferring people away, but if anything goes wrong, I'll be the one taking the blame.

Unless Night Owl forces him to do it, he would never voluntarily risk doing such a thing.

"Useless!" Maggie cursed angrily.

“He’s trash, he’s trash,” Zod said with a forced smile.

Steamed bun slices!

Let me show you how arrogant you are for once.

If that day ever comes, I'll make you kneel down and call me dad.

"If you guys are useless, then I'll go find it myself."

Maggie snorted and shoved Zod away. Cornelia was one of her favorite singers, and Maggie never hesitated to express her feelings about things she liked.

Steamed bun slices!

Zod didn't dare let Maggie go looking for him alone. He quickly ordered all the people who came with him to follow her and told the people who were searching outside to come over immediately.

By the way, I need to talk to Fitch about this. If anything really happens, he should try to take the blame for something smaller.

"Yes, sir!"

Nodding repeatedly with a respectful expression, Zod felt utterly weak after hanging up the call.

This whole family is trash!

He clenched his fist tightly, but the bracelet vibrated again.

who is it?

One, two, three, stop.

Two seconds later, it was time to stop again, one, two, three.

Zod stopped in his tracks, his body stiffened, and his back felt as if it had been soaked in water.

This is a code.

The signal indicated that the Night Owl's men were nearby.

It’s over.

Zod nearly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Night Owl's men are nearby; they likely know that Maggie is Fitch's daughter. Therefore, the few men he sent are simply not enough to protect Maggie's safety. If Maggie dies here…

He started thinking about how to escape.

Holy shit!

He still has a lot of money and gems stored on Aquamarine Star, and the woman he often meets with, and now it's all gone?

The loss was more than 100 million.

Oh no, this feels like a heart attack!

Mrs. Sun!

But the regular vibrations that started again brought Zod back to his senses; it was a coded invitation to meet him.

Gan!

I'm going all in.

Zod stared at Maggie's departing figure.

Upon closer inspection, Maggie is also okay.

……

An Ran asked Lin Yumo, "How is the situation?"

"The security guards who came down to investigate were all killed by several very strong people. They are currently cracking the crew's combination lock, which is expected to take another 12 minutes."

12 minutes?

This is assuming everything goes smoothly.

After Anran remotely turned on the camera, all she could see was a pile of corpses, but that was enough.

She attached the spare wristband that played the video feed to the spider robot and controlled the robot to bump into the security supervisor's feet.

"You can test your abilities, then leave the rest to me."

An Ran walked against the crowd into the inner area. At this time, the gate was open, and no more identity verification was required to enter or exit.

"Change it."

She casually snatched the mask from a girl of similar height and put her own cat-ear hat on her head.

An Ran never considered herself a good person, but she was not a cold-blooded one either. When their positions differed, she could take out her weapon without hesitation, but she could not bring herself to send 20 innocent people to their deaths along with the Time Energy Tower.

Therefore, she will not help Night Owl until all the audience has left.

The smile on the smiling mask was radiant, and An Ran skillfully squeezed through the crowd.

"Ugh... I can't see."

The girl, whose eyes were covered by the new hat, bumped into someone.

Don't hit me!

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Maggie happened to be passing by and stopped. This was the third time she had seen this hat, and she had always had a vague sense of familiarity with it.

Until the girl pulled her hat up, revealing a completely unfamiliar face, untouched by any cosmetic procedures.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the girl apologized to the person she bumped into.

It seemed there was a mistake. Maggie frowned and walked away, so she didn't hear the girl's explanation.

……

The back of the inner area was anything but "quiet" at this moment.

Bloodstains.

The sound flowed out from the backstage entrance, but no shouts could be heard.

An Ran saw several sneaky players quietly moving towards the backstage area, and she also noticed that Ma Qi was leading a group of people this way.

"Hey!"

Ok?

The three players were taken aback when a young female NPC wearing a smiley mask and a yellow exclamation mark above her head walked over.

How was it possible to quickly determine that it was a woman?
