Harvest Tavern.

Rachel carefully wiped every glass.

Though it no longer had the bustle of Qin Ran's last visit, Qin Ran preferred the current atmosphere.

Of course, as the proprietress, Rachel certainly would not like it.

Without even turning her head, Rachel spoke coldly.

With the system's request to enter the room, Rachel naturally knew who had arrived.

"Good afternoon, Rachel."

Even when he saw Qin Ran approaching, he merely waved weakly.

"I'm Hans!"

"We met here last time!"

However, Qin Ran still needed Lawless to explain the details of the job.

"Because you, 2567, discovered the Assassin Organization, every player who knows about it has become nervous. Just look at Rachel's punishment
