Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Ella simply replied calmly, "I don't know you, and I don't want to talk to you."

"Thump!" Gray felt a punch to his chest.

Why is this child so cold?

He was about to say something more when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Turning around, I saw a face filled with bitterness and resentment.

"Old man, I'm warning you, don't harass Ella!" the stranger said fiercely.

His ID is Naizi Knight.

He was carrying an even cooler greatsword on his back, and a pistol was also tucked into his waistband.

Even swordsmen sometimes have to adapt to the times.

"Who are you?" Gray asked back.

They cannot see the players' IDs; only Anran, this special individual, can.

"Who I am is not important, what matters is that I see you harassing Ella!" The Knight of the Neck drew his sword.

Gray took a step back: "Young man, what are you doing? Your actions are dangerous."

The Knight of the Seas chuckled coldly, "Your actions are far more dangerous. You're a man in your sixties or seventies, yet you dare to flirt with a little girl who looks about ten years old. Bah! Have you no shame? Hey, prepare to die!"

The Knight of Nai raised his greatsword high.

“Young man, don’t you know anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?” Gray was still quite agile. “You’ve misunderstood me, it’s not what you think! Hey, young man, let’s talk this out, don’t fight! Damn it, I’m angry, I’m calling the police.”

"Knight Boss!" Naizi Knight was pulled back by his henchmen after he swung his sword.

This captain is a disgrace. If it weren't for his loyalty, I would be ashamed to be associated with him.

The little follower thought of it.

He was about to pull Naizi Knight back.

My butt was suddenly bumped.

The henchman got angry and shouted, "Why did you bump into my butt?!"

He looked up and saw several people rushing forward with long, thin weapons.

"Damn it, you old pervert, you actually tried to defile Ella!"

"I'm going to take a few parts off your body today!"

I swear to protect my wife with my life!

"Damn it, before my wife was a two-dimensional character and I couldn't protect her, but now all of you NPCs can just die!"

The agile old man, Gray, was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his hands, and only managed to save his life when he got to the research and development center.

That's terrible. Oh well, let Anran take good care of Ella.

His old bones can't take it.

The farce has come to an end.

Anran and Ella left first.

Because the handcart broke, Ella could only set up a stall in the morning, and even then she earned more than a thousand pesos.

Taking advantage of her free time, Anran rented a small house.

In short, you still need a place to stay.

"Anran, who was that woman those people were calling out for just now?"

"Uh……"

An Ran didn't even notice that Ella had dropped the word "sister" when she called her. How should she answer this question?

"Just think of it as a delusion that some people can never achieve."

Anran said.

Are you kidding me? Ella is your wife? Dream on.

If I hadn't transformed, Ella would be my wife.

Anran tidied up the house inside and out. The monthly rent was 500 biru, and it was a one-bedroom apartment with a living room. The environment was not bad.

Ella didn't quite understand what Anran was saying, but she nodded nonetheless.

It's just wishful thinking, and she understands the meaning of the word "wild thinking."

“Anran, actually I recorded the conversation while I was hiding in that little pit.”

Anran, who was making the bed, suddenly heard Ella say this behind her.

"You even have a recording function?"

No, that's not the point.

Can I listen to it?

Perhaps there will be some gains, Anran thought.

"Ah."

When Ella said this, she already had this plan in mind.

Pure and innocent, she hadn't yet learned how to lie from An Ran.

……

"how is the situation?"

Meanwhile, in another part of Twin Moon City, a conversation was also taking place.

Interlude in Chapter 41: Recording

The conversation took place near the back door of a hotel.

Because the roads are narrow and the surrounding area is full of piles of debris, this place is sparsely populated.

Heloise asked the first question.

She was wearing a tight-fitting mini skirt and small glasses, dressed like a female executive at a large company.

Standing opposite Heloise was Sandy, the vice-captain of the guard team who had come with her earlier.

They were also people Heloise brought from up there.

He is a special talent who is proficient in assassination and intelligence investigation.

Sandy replied expressionlessly, "It's been cleaned up, but we haven't found the target yet."

"Cleaned up? What do you mean?" Heloise changed her standing posture, and her long, straight legs looked even more striking in high heels.

“It was just a fire, nothing serious,” Sandy said.

Heloise frowned: "Explain in detail."

“After I parted ways with you, Minister, I went to inquire around the neighborhood and overheard some interesting news. It was said that Colin went to his ex-wife's house. I thought the girl was very likely there, so I went there to investigate last night.”

Sandy shrugged. "Unfortunately, I didn't find the girl. Colin and his wife also seemed unfriendly to Morningstar, so I got angry and set a fire..."

Heloise nodded, crossing her arms. "Anything else?"

Sandy laughed and said, "Minister, you really know me. Although we didn't find the girl, we at least confirmed that there were traces of a girl living in Colin's house, so it's probably her. The other party seems very vigilant; I've been staking out the area for an hour but haven't found the target."

“Oh, right,” Sandy added, “I’ve discovered something very interesting.”

"what's up?"

“That repair shop manager named Colin was a former technical expert at the Twin Moon City Research and Development Center. He used to be a lackey who was responsible for developing weapons for the Imperial puppet government. It was only after recognizing his identity that I couldn’t help but want to teach him a lesson. I didn’t expect his wife to actually take a knife for him. Sigh…” Sandy sighed, “I didn’t originally want to kill them.”

“Oh?” Heloise raised an eyebrow.

She didn't show much emotion, and it's unclear whether she was dissatisfied with or approved of Sandy's actions.

But Sandy didn't care about all that. He quickly put away his feigned sorrow: "What a great love! What a pity! The leader is right, the fate of an imperial lackey is death. He survived last time, but fate will eventually take him to where he is meant to be."

Sandy's tone was flat, as if he had merely crushed two ants, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Let's put aside these trivial matters for now and focus on the important things. Although the mayor of Twin Moon City is dead, the impact won't last long. Our ultimate goal is to try our best to distract Jiu Ge. Once we let our guard down against these guys, there will be no second chance." Heloise's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Although she held the title of branch secretary, as a "soldier" trained by the higher-ups since childhood, her role was definitely not to sit in the back and command the overall situation.

……

Ella's recordings have finished playing.

The room fell silent again.

Although playing the recording from Ella's body seemed eerie, the information revealed in the recording still caused Anran to fall silent.

The murderer was indeed a member of Morning Star's group.

The murderer was also a mentally unstable lunatic.

There's something Anran has always overlooked.

Who has been leaking information about her?

From the night my home was invaded during the Two Moons War until last night.

An Ran only now realized that it was the local bullies in the old city who leaked her information to Chen Xing.

The small restaurant where Zhou Jieyu delivered goods when she first arrived in Shuangyue City.

The shop owner was a hoodlum boss with a gold tooth and a constant grin.

The killer inadvertently revealed this information during his conversation with Colin.

Anran is an extremely vengeful person.

She used to be chased across half the map because of a piece of equipment that dropped in a game.

After that, An Ran, who had been patiently waiting for her return, directly killed the opponent, forcing them to quit the game.

A scoundrel with a terrible reputation, whose intelligence repeatedly puts him in a passive position, even implicating Colin and Eudora.
