The engine of the business hovercar hummed softly.

Kuang Xin raised his wine glass and lightly tapped it against the window.

"Do you know how I felt the first time I rode in a hovercar? The pinnacle of technology roared beneath me, like a delicate doll from the news, making your desire for conquest overflow..."

He smiled, as if flirting with a married woman engrossed in her work.

[Name: Kuang Xin]

[Affiliation: Tiebang Logistics]

[Prosthetic: Dazzling High-Frequency Railgun (Experimental), Neural Sensors, etc.]

[File: Tiebang Logistics Market Relations Director, Messiah Company's Commercial Spy from the European Branch (Special Affairs Bureau file), second son of the Longsheng Pharmaceutical Group's controlling family (undisclosed records)...]

"Has your fetish extended to metal now?"

John immediately asked.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

"John, come on, the hovercar is mine. Didn't you see Tiebang Logistics's logo when you got on?"

Kuang Xin was outwardly a high executive at Tiebang Logistics but was secretly a commercial spy.

He had close ties with a certain Asian corporation and was one of Oulos's most important connections in Eden City.

"There's a lot of familiar big shots at Vito's retirement party; they need to see me there to have fun. Ah, the feeling of being trusted is truly both troubling and blissful."

Kuang Xin also knew the banquet was dangerous.

But he was someone who dared to shoot himself in the crotch; the opportunities far outweighed the risks.

This business hovercar was of high specification.

Dignitaries and celebrities attending important occasions indeed needed a vehicle to match their status, and manufacturers excelled at enhancing its appeal and utility—with luxury sofas and red carpet champagne flutes as standard.

Oulos closed her eyes and relaxed, doing her hair with her built-in grooming tools.

John's attention was somewhat scattered; compared to the opulence of the upper class, the tension and seriousness of the mission occupied more of his thoughts.

He looked out the window through the glass,

This was his first time climbing from the exterior of a building to the top of the Bolago Club.

Only from a bird's-eye view could the full scope of this massive complex be seen.

The Eden City West District commercial center seemed lit up by lights.

Woosh—

The side door of the hovercar suddenly opened.

The gale that pierced through the cabin made John's muscles tense up, caught off guard by the deafening sound and scorching airflow.

His tie danced wildly in front of his chest.

The voice channel of the hovercar resounded with Kuang Xin's wild laughter.

[Wipe that scowl off your face, John, look the hell outside! The city is under your feet! Take this chance, say something!]

The gusts rushing into his nose and mouth gave a slight feeling of suffocation.

John adapted for a moment then stuck his head out again to look at Eden City—originally this city was dark blue in the sky, burning with neon in the dark, dazzling flowing lights coursing between every grand building.

A gigantic holographic projection spun at the top of the members' club.

The emblem of the Black Gold Gang slowly rotated in the high sky, and at this moment, standing on any street in Eden City looking up, one could see the splendid light haze enveloping the city's edge and beams of light shooting continuously skyward.

[F—cking calamari!]

[Is that it? Hahaha, you should have...]

Bam!

The hovercar door closed once more.

Data streams flashed in Oulos's eyes as she maintained the motion of snapping fingers, locking the cabin door and turning off the music.

Her hair was blown into disarray, and she lost one of the earrings she was preparing to wear.

Kuang Xin's smile gradually weakened.

"Ahem, my apologies..."

The final apology was barely audible.

Kuang Xin was someone very skilled at setting the mood.

John readjusted his breathing and set his tie right once more, and the inexplicable excitement from before had released all the accumulated pressure.

[Bolago Club - Connection Zone (Banquet Floor)]

The hovercar quickly departed after landing.

John and Kuang Xin walked behind Oulos stepping off the docking area.

Billowing clouds swirled beneath their feet.

Four European-style sculptures gushed waterfalls that looked like flowing lights; the sound of water roared, but upon careful observation, one would find—the luxurious statues outside the buildings, the torch street lamps illuminating the path, were all holographic projections and light strips.

The churning clouds were used to conceal flaws.

The Bolago Club was originally a massive old-style mega shopping mall, with a high-rise circular shopping center below where the Tipsy Bikini store was located.

Behind it was a high-rise hotel and office tower.

This area belonged to Bolago members.

Inside there were clubs, high-end medical facilities, top-tier boxing arenas...

And various extravagant dens of opulence beloved by the elite; the top-floor office area was truly the headquarters of the Black Gold Gang.

It even witnessed Eden City's independence and two gang wars.

By the years, it was a building with a rich history.

John activated his scan to observe closely.

At the end of the passage was scaffolding not yet removed, with building materials and employee break rooms set in those locked rooms.

But the areas within the lights were extravagant to the extreme.

This concerned the face of the West District.

Oulos's high heels clicked on the floor.

[Bolago Club - Rooftop Garden (Banquet Floor)]

The black-bottomed floor extended to the end of the banquet hall, with dividers made of different materials in each area; the seams were of dark gold color, and upon close inspection, the stone surface bore relief sculptures.

John gradually raised his gaze.

The relief patterns on the floor combined to form a massive emblem of the Black Gold Gang.

Their location afforded a perfect view of the whole pattern, and the brightly lit banquet hall lay just ahead.

Two strapping bodyguards stood in the forehall.
