Krystal was taken aback, holding the half-burnt cigarette between her fingers as the smoke rings slowly dissipated. She carefully scrutinized Lina from head to toe, noting the girl’s disheveled appearance yet sensing a fearless aura emanating from her being. Like gleaming silver stars, Lina’s eyes shone with resolute determination, reminiscent of someone familiar to Krystal.

Lost in her thoughts, Krystal failed to realize that her cigarette had burned down, only snapping back to reality when it scorched her hand, causing her to gasp. She quickly regained composure, adjusting her breathing and wearing the same confident smile.

“Young lady, don’t you think you have too many questions?” she asked.

“Heh, nobody’s asking you to die. You two are precious to me,” Krystal replied.

“You catch on quickly, little girl.” Krystal smirked. “Truly worthy of being the daughter of the top performer! You’re quite familiar with this type of situation!”

Renee trembled, looking at Krystal incredulously. It seemed that this woman knew everything about them.

Meanwhile, Lina found herself thinking that this encounter might actually be advantageous. She said, slowly regaining her composure, “Madame Krys, it appears that you know who we are.”

“Of course.”
