"Twin Star Bar. This was the place."
Guan Tong looked at the sign in front of him. He had not expected the intermediary, Black Star, to have changed shops again in less than a month.
Two young men stood at the entrance, glancing around. When they saw Guan Tong stop in front of the establishment, they exchanged looks and walked over.
"Are you the client?"
"Yeah. Is Black Star here?"
"He is. Brother Black Star is inside, he—"
Before he could finish, Black Star, who had heard the commotion outside, ran out on his own and greeted Guan Tong in a carefree manner. "Hello, hello! Welcome back, old customer. Please, come in!"
As Black Star spoke, he noticed Guan Tong's nickname and points above his head, and a few doubts rose in his mind.
Guan Tong entered the bar. There were quite a few people in the main hall, all familiar faces. They were the people he had seen when he last met Black Star, likely the latter's bodyguards or something similar.
That was understandable. An outstanding intermediary would inevitably come into contact with all sorts of dangerous clients, so personal security was of utmost importance.
"Please, have a seat!"
Black Star led Guan Tong to an empty table in front of the bar counter and casually asked about Shangyuan Zi.
"The one who came with you last time isn't here today?"
"Yeah. She has something to do."
As Yelena's bodyguard during this period, Guan Tong should not have left her side. However, improving his own strength was equally urgent.
Before coming out this time, he had left Shadow by Yelena's side, sharing Shadow's vision at all times. If danger arose, he could immediately Phase Shift back. With Shangyuan Zi protecting her as well, there would not be any problems.
