Poverty makes me capable of anything.

A mysterious smile.

As the law enforcement team girl walked to the corner, she automatically changed her clothes and quickly transformed back into An Ran.

An NPC that appears in the middle of the road with an exclamation mark above its head and automatically issues story quests—it's so conspicuous, it would be foolish not to go up and grab it to ask.

However, dressing up as a member of the law enforcement team is just An Ran's perverse sense of humor.

“This matter involves outsiders and multiple forces vying for the imperial throne.” An Ran summarized the general information.

However, there is no evidence to prove that this was done by the same force.

"Visa also has unusual relationships with strangers. Could there be a connection between them?"

“The planning official was on the Third Prince’s side, the energy ministry commissioner who died in the second bombing was also the Third Prince’s subordinate, and Visa was on the Second Prince’s side,” Zhou Jieyu reported, sharing the information she had gathered online.

That's rare.

Looking at Zhou Jieyu, who was standing next to An Ran discussing things, he was deeply moved by her leading the charge.

I always felt like this was a fake younger sister.

It's unbelievable that my sister would seriously consider a question that goes through so many twists and turns!

"Could it be that Vesa was actually behind this case, with the aim of undermining the Third Prince's power?" Li Zhuying speculated.

"Isn't this a bit too rough?" Lin Yumo muttered.

If politics degenerates into a reign of terror, wouldn't things fall into complete chaos, with no one willing to compromise?

"I also think that's unlikely," the leader of the charge said.

"Ah."

Anran nodded.

This task has many steps; it's not something they could guess so easily.

The important thing now is to complete that specific, Visa-related task.

How about this...

An Ran began assigning tasks to the four players who were with her.

"Lead the charge to check on Richie's situation. If we can get anything out of him, great. If not, we'll see what happens."

“I don’t feel comfortable letting the three of you act alone. You can try to investigate the people who were with Richie at the time, and see if you can get any information about the stranger who contacted Vesa. Remember to keep your identities hidden.”

"I know, don't underestimate me, I'm much better than my brother."

ha?

Leading the charge, he looked at Zhou Jieyu in surprise. "Little sister, when did you get so arrogant?"

"Then what are you and Ella going to do, Anran?"

“We,” An Ran thought for a moment, “are going to investigate some private matters.”

They split into three teams to carry out the operation.

The target of the charge was Richie.

The first step was to locate Richie, but thanks to smooth media coverage, he quickly found Richie's location.

In a hospital on the ground.

The fact that the Minister of Industry's son was beaten up by a stranger and hospitalized is a news story worth following.

"Going straight up to gather information would be too reckless. So we'll have to broaden our thinking and use... okay, you're the one, money!"

Anyway, Enron's ability to use its financial power to lead the charge was quite effective and worth learning from.

"Hey bro, can I ask you for a favor?"

Leading the charge, they stopped the players loitering near the hospital.

Leading the charge utilized financial resources.

Money -2.

He led the charge and successfully charmed three players.

Three players became the minions leading the charge.

After taking a break following the initial charge, the three players launched the next round of action.

As soon as Richie stepped out of the room after applying the medicine, he saw three players walking towards him, and his face immediately darkened.

Random player.

He recalled how another random player had once put a bag over his head and beaten him up without saying a word.

A sense of unease welled up inside me, first a little fear, then anger.

Damn it, these strangers are inhuman.

My territory, my rules!

Anger arises from the heart, and evil thoughts spring from the gall.

Richie immediately called out a group of thugs who beat the three players, who were walking with an air of utter indifference, half to death.

"Damn it, I'll never let Vesa get away with this!" Richie shouted angrily.

When he saw the three players he had hired again while leading the charge, he understood the true meaning of tragedy.

"I'm all bloodied and battered, it's so damn awful..."

They also learned how to pronounce the character "惨" (miserable).

"Terrible, terrible, terrible..."

"Add more money, add more money, I'll add more, okay?" the leader of the charge said.

"Brother, you really understand people!"

The three players smiled with relief and told Richie the only useful sentence they had collected.

After leading the charge and discussing the situation, he said, "These three level 60 players were all half-dead. Luckily, I was smart enough not to go into battle myself, otherwise, with my level 52 stats, I probably would have been killed outright."

The three players who received the money had no more worries.

They immediately ran into the street, shouting, "Breaking news! Breaking news! The second son of the Minister of Industry is taking his anger out on innocent passersby because he was beaten. Is this a sign of moral decay or a distortion of human nature...?"

"No, no..."

Both real reporters and robot reporters who came along to get the news were immediately surrounded.

"Everyone, don't rush, don't rush. The front row is only so wide, no matter how much you squeeze in, it won't make a difference. Anyone who pays can turn the back row into the front row, and get exclusive photos!"

"..."

Leading the charge, he was completely bewildered.

……

The so-called investigation into private matters was actually an investigation into information related to Eresh.

However, before that, Anran decided to see if she could track Vesa down and get some information about the mission from him.

However, an unexpected incident occurred while attempting to track them down.

"You want to inquire about Visa?"

One player stared intently into An Ran's eyes.

He thought to himself, "Although there are two pretty young girls in front of me, I'm not someone who can be easily charmed. Clinging to the coattails of the character who seems to be the main character is the priority!"

"Is there a problem? If you feel the compensation isn't right, I can..."

and many more.

An Ran's hand stopped.

"Ella, be careful," Anran warned Ella over the radio.

Not right.

This player is acting very strangely.

In fact, it seemed very strange that he had been wandering around Visa's residence for so long.

She was preoccupied with Ereshki's problem at the time and didn't pay much attention to this matter.

"What's wrong?" player Yue Ruhuo asked.

“I can pay more!” An Ran added.

"Well, about this issue..." Yue Ruhuo wanted to say something more, but when he suddenly saw the person appearing behind An Ran, he immediately stopped talking.

"who are you?"

An Ran turned around as if she were a ghost.

The NPC who had raised his hand was immediately startled.

"Uh……"

What a quick turn!

It was so abrupt that it felt as if An Ran had been staring at him the whole time.

This seems a bit unexpected.

The NPC in front of me is level 72 and a sorcerer.

"..."

This can be considered an unconventional profession.

Especially among NPCs, normal NPCs will not practice magic, because if they are exposed for learning it, they will be hated by everyone.

For Yue Ruhuo, Anran, Ella, and this NPC he knew were all beings whose levels he couldn't fathom.

Upon closer reflection, these two NPCs must be quite extraordinary.

Either he has a big hidden secret, or he is of a very high level!

"Who are you?" An Ran asked in a rougher tone.
