Pure Gold Trophy (Continued)

But for the people of Siracusa, the most mysterious aspect of this legend is not that the two girls are heirs to two major Siracusa families.

Rather... their teacher.

That Night Watcher leader, who only exists in legends and has never been confirmed...

As a core member of the family, the man naturally knew that the so-called leader of the Night Watcher was not a fabrication; she was real... it's just that not many people were qualified to meet her.

I thought that once I arrived in Dossoles, I would never have any contact with them again...

And just now... Lappland and Texas showed Maria such respect...

"Gurgle~"

"You're as unlikeable as ever."

Maria spoke calmly, her tone completely flat, yet it confirmed one thing for the man...

It's true...

This woman...

This woman in front of me!

It's her!

The legendary Night Watcher!

His mind went through a lightning-fast flash, and immense fear surged through him.

After a moment of silence, his eyes widened instantly, and he started running away into the distance without looking back!

Run! The thing I need to do right now is run!

As long as you run fast enough, as long as you run far enough...

No matter what, as long as he runs away and doesn't sign anything, the casino bar will still belong to the Losoloya Family, and he will still have room to maneuver!

Those present were stunned for a moment by his escape.

Then, Lin Yuhsia, who was the calmest, looked at Maria with some curiosity.

Aren't you going to pursue her?

"..."

Maria didn't answer the three, but Lappland, who was standing nearby, did.

"Mrs. Maria, please wait a moment!"

After saying that, she ran out.

She didn't know exactly what had happened, but she could vaguely sense that Maria didn't want the other person to escape.

As Maria's most loyal hunter, she certainly wouldn't let the other party go, and a moment later, she decisively gave chase.

Texas followed closely behind.

FrostNova, standing to the side, hesitated for a few moments before silently placing the watermelon where it was.

"I won't take things from others for nothing."

After saying that, she turned and chased after them.

Lin Yuhsia was left standing there, blinking.

Then he laughed.

"You seem to be highly respected by them?"

"They are all very outstanding girls."

Maria didn't say much, she just looked at the pink-haired mouse in front of her, blinked, and prepared to leave.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuhsia called out to Maria.

How about you sell this place to me?

"Um?"

"Although I don't plan to stay here long-term, but... I doubt that guy will give up this place so easily. Sell it to me, and I'll take care of those problems for you."

Lin Yuhsia smiled, but her slightly lowered eyes told Maria that what this girl wanted was not so simple.

Only...

"Sorry, I also need this, but I can't buy it right now... Perhaps we'll have a chance to trade later."

"Really? That's a bit of a shame."

Although Lin Yuhsia said that, her expression didn't change much.

Maria and the others left quickly.

Lin Yuhsia stood there with her eyes slightly lowered, looking thoughtful.

"That Texas, I think he was from Penguin Logistics..."

Is it her?

As she murmured, Lin Yuhsia's lips slowly curved into a smile.

Before she could think for long, a woman wagging her tail walked over.

"You did this?"

As soon as Ch'en Hui-chieh arrived, she saw Lin Yuhsia standing among them.

Considering their identities, Ch'en Hui-chieh felt she had reason to believe that the current chaos was caused by the other party.

But Lin Yuhsia just pursed her lips.

"Oh, you're finally awake?"

"... Um."

"I didn't set this up... Don't look at me like that. I was just planning to buy this place... but it seems that plan has failed now."

As Lin Yuhsia spoke, she walked towards Ch'en Hui-chieh, then walked around her.

"Now... let's go participate in the competition."

"And here..."

"Leave this to us."

Ernesto scratched his head.

This handsome, sunny guy was genuinely tired at this moment.

With so much trouble happening here, someone needs to stay and report to the guards who will arrive later.

This job was the obvious choice for him, given that he already worked in Dossoles.

But he couldn't possibly let his two important guests wait for him here, so he took on the responsibility and forced a smile as he looked at the two girls in front of him.

"If you two don't mind, you could participate in the Summer Grand Prix... Lady Candela would actually really like you to have a good experience."

"But..."

"We understand."

Lin Yuhsia didn't let Ch'en Hui-chieh continue reporting the chaotic response. She simply waved her hand, took the other woman's hand, and forcefully pulled the Little Dragon Girl away from the scene.

The sensation of those slender fingers gently brushing against his palm made Chen's eyes widen slowly.

Is there anything I can help you with?

After leaving the casino bar, Ch'en Hui-chieh cautiously looked around for a long time to make sure no one was following them before carefully speaking and asking Lin Yuhsia a curious question.

Both of them are now grown up and no longer do many of the things they did when they were young, but the scratch and the look in her eyes just now made her realize that Lin Yuhsia might have noticed something.

So after confirming that the surroundings were safe, she immediately asked the girl a question.

Lin Yuhsia just rolled her eyes at her and didn't say anything more. After buying herself a new watermelon, she looked at it and couldn't help but sigh as she saw that it was not as round as before.

"Not as good as before..."

"Um?"

"It's nothing." Lin Yuhsia sighed, tied another rope to hang the watermelon on herself, and then looked helplessly at Ch'en Hui-chieh beside her.

Seeing the other person's furrowed brows and anxious expression, she decided not to hide it any longer.

"There's something wrong with Ernesto."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Ch'en Hui-chieh was taken aback, and then her expression immediately turned serious.

"What's wrong?"

"Have no idea..."

"Um?!"

"Don't assume everyone is as evidence-conscious as you are. Here, sometimes all you need to confirm something is a gut feeling." Lin Yuhsia glanced at Ch'en Hui-chieh, then led the other woman away.

"He seemed to be just helping us explore the area, but actually, many of his actions were intentionally or unintentionally determining our location..."

As Lin Yuhsia spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly.

She recalled that she had just left home that morning when she happened to run into Ernesto's situation, and she also remembered that Ernesto was trying to probe Ch'en Hui-chieh's movements through her.

At that time, I deliberately lied and said that Ch'en Hui-chieh had gone out to play by herself.

Ernesto even excitedly said he would send people to protect Ch'en Hui-chieh.

But when the two of them went on their trip afterwards, he never mentioned these things.

If he truly cared, he wouldn't have refrained from asking further questions.

In other words...

"There were people of his watching us in the hotel...that's why he didn't press me further; he knew I had just lied."

"But I've checked the room, there aren't any surveillance cameras."

Are you stupid?

Lin Yuhsia rolled her eyes at Ch'en Hui-chieh, somewhat helplessly.

"Why make surveillance so complicated? Just have a few people watch the windows and door, and we'll know if anyone's left... Are we supposed to dig a hole in the second floor of the hotel to get out?"

"This..."

After being mocked by Lin Yuhsia, Ch'en Hui-chieh realized the seriousness of the situation, and after a moment, she frowned.

"You mean there's something he doesn't want us to know?"

"It's hard to say, but... I think it might be related to the bombing you want to investigate."

"Um?"

"That's the only possibility. He was sent by Candela, her so-called confidant... and the only thing that could be connected to us is the bombing case you've been trying to investigate."

Lin Yuhsia frowned... Although she said she didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, she had no choice but to go along when she saw that Ch'en Hui-chieh insisted on investigating.

"That..."

"Then there's only one thing we need to do now..." Lin Yuhsia didn't give Ch'en Hui-chieh a chance to continue, but instead frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "That Summer Grand Prix that Candela keeps mentioning... we're going to go have some fun..."

"Maria's Hunter?"

FrostNova kicked away several burly men who tried to attack her, then turned her head with a puzzled look.

She looked closely at Lappland beside her, her expression somewhat puzzled.

She remembered this girl... She had seen this girl when she fought against Talulah... Back then, only these two girls could unleash their full power.

To be honest, she could sense that the two of them hadn't yet unleashed their deepest power, but even so, with their combined strength, they could easily hold their own against an Inner Guards.

But what truly puzzled her now was what Lappland had just said to her.

"Yes, the hunter that Lady Maria and I trust most!"
