Demon Pig Bar

Although Stiller was somewhat puzzled by Lin Yu's behavior, he still accepted the "vacation" arrangement.

After telling Lin Yu the remaining precautions he could think of, Stiller left.

He really wanted to go back and take a look.

Since the Despair Train explosion, Stiller knew very well that he should be listed as "missing" at Truth Company, and many people, including President Paris, probably thought he was dead.

Considering that he would eventually leave this world, Stiller hadn't yet decided whether to tell his former superiors and colleagues that he wasn't dead, but...

Even if I have to hide my identity, I still need to go back and check.

So after thanking Lin Yu, Stiller left directly.

He headed towards the Inner City.

Lin Yu watched Stiller leave, naturally without any reason to worry.

This is Stiller's hometown; he certainly won't encounter any misfortune here.

As for Stiller not wanting to come back... that's not something Stiller can decide for himself.

It wasn't even Lin Yu's decision.

Releasing an NPC that has become a "Summoned Creature" is quite troublesome, especially for someone like Stiller who was created through a [Collar] bug.

Stiller was certainly aware of this himself.

"Alright, let him take a break. We need to get back to work!"

Lin Yu watched Stiller leave, then summoned two more Summoned Creature and began walking in the direction Stiller had pointed out.

Hannah and Old Zheng appeared as two pendants on Lin Yu's shoulder.

"Quack! This is... the City That Never Sleeps!"

"Wow, you've come to Stiller's hometown... Hey, where's little Stieler?"

Old Zheng's questioning voice rang out, and Lin Yu shrugged.

"We've given him a leave of absence so he can visit his family."

Old Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "You're letting him go? He's a local bigwig. In this place, isn't Stiller's influence far greater than ours?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "But he's also a big target. Stiller is a high-ranking executive at a major company, and he just disappeared. Taking him along would be too conspicuous—I'm going to be on an assassination mission."

"Moreover, given my current level as recognized by the system, the person I'm tasked with assassinating must be an extremely important figure... There are only Three Great Corporations and Five Great Noble Families in the City That Never Sleeps. If they're related to Stiller in any way, it'll be a troublesome matter to deal with them."

Old Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement. "I didn't expect you to be so considerate of Xiao Shi's feelings, afraid of making things difficult for him, right!"

After all, given their strong subordinate relationship, Stiller could not possibly disobey Lin Yu.

Hannah was delighted. "Quack! Of course, the Director is someone worth following! He's so considerate!"

Lin Yu curled his lip.

"I'm not that noble. I just made a 'weighing' decision. If I want Stiller, who is a very useful assistant to me, to continue to serve me wholeheartedly in other [Instance], then I have to bribe him to some extent in this [Instance]."

Although Hannah and Old Zheng were also his Summoned Creature, Lin Yu spoke of this without any hesitation.

Despite his awakened "Profession" being a "Fraudster," Lin Yu is generally quite honest in his interactions with people.

Only in special circumstances would he choose to tell a white lie out of politeness.

Lin Yu walked along the damp, dark Street and soon found a set of stairs leading down, just as Stiller had told him.

Below the steps was a tightly closed iron gate, in front of which hung a rusty sign. The sign's outline was a pig's head with a pipe in its mouth and wearing a top hat, with the words "Demon Pig Bar" spelled out in LED strips.

But the light strip didn't light up—it looked less like it wasn't on and more like it was broken and would never light up again.

This made Lin Yu wonder if the place had closed down, or if Stiller hadn't been there in a long time and didn't know this.

However, after Lin Yu descended the steps, he could faintly hear the noise coming from the crack in the door.

"Knock knock!"

Lin Yu knocked on the door, and the tightly closed iron door opened a crack a few seconds later.

A Muscular Man looked fierce, strong, and dark-skinned spoke coldly, "Do you have a membership?"

"No, but I know some members here," Lin Yu said calmly. "I need to see 'Shark,' Shark Shock, George Cresso."

As Lin Yu spoke, the Muscular Man frowned.

"Shark Shock" is the bouncer here; quite a few people know his name.

However, not many people know that Shark Shock's True Name "George Cresso".

This was naturally told to Lin Yu by Stiller.

So the dark-skinned man with exaggeratedly large muscles hesitated for a moment, then opened the door.

"Come in, kid. I'll take you to see Boss Shock."

As he spoke, he opened the door.

Lin Yu darted in, the loud and jarring music like a stampede of cattle crashing into his eardrums, and the flashing Rainbowlight almost made him faint.

Although the "bar" part of the Demon Pig Bar is only a business on the surface, it seems that this business is making a considerable profit!

Dangerous individuals danced wildly and drank heavily in the dance floor and booths, indulging in their own luxury.

A dark-skinned, Muscular Man wearing a white vest, with two large-caliber handguns strapped to his waist, led Lin Yu through the corridor next to the dance floor.

He led Lin Yu up the stairs to the luxurious private room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

Before anyone could answer, the Muscular Man pushed the door open.

Inside, a bald man in a red suit was lying on the sofa, and on the table was a half-eaten bowl of tomato and seafood Huimian.

It seems like they're... taking a nap after a big meal?

Lin Yu was somewhat impressed by the other person's ability to fall asleep in such an environment.

Judging from the shark tattoos on his neck and wrists, this person is clearly Shark Shock.

The Muscular Man walked over and shook the sleeping man.

"Boss Shock, we have a guest. He specifically asked to see you and gave your True Name."

Shark Shock opened his eyes sleepily and said, "Who the hell is it?"

He looked at Lin Yu, who was standing casually at the door of the private room, shook his head, and got up from the sofa.

Who are you?

Lin Yu looked Shark Shock as it went into shock and spoke.

"I can't reveal who the referrer is, but I heard you have work available here, and it's a big job that you can't find anyone to do."

Lin Yu spoke calmly, displaying the demeanor of a master.

Sure enough, the Shark Shock.

He stood up and looked Lin Yu up and down again.

Are you referring to the C-35, A-06, or C-77?

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the other party's probing tone.

There really is a C-77.

He was taking a gamble—betting that the task the system assigned him wouldn't be particularly easy.

However, there's no rush to accept the commission.

"Since there are three orders, let's talk about them all."
