Lazily Yours.

"Miss, I really don't recommend doing something like this," Cyrus said. "This is too reckless."

"Despite saying that, you have a beautiful smile on your face," Gabi responded. "Tell me… the fact that I am using myself as bait actually excites you, right?"

"Of course not," Cyrus said, the same smile appeared on her face. "Why would I feel excited about fighting people?"

"Did someone tell that you are terrible at lying?"

"Hehehe…" Cyrus didn't say anything. Instead, she picked a dress for Gabi. "This would look good on you."

"Your taste isn't bad," Gabi said. They are currently inside one boutique on the outskirts of the city.

"But isn't this too obvious? I mean… your clothes don't have brands as they are personally tailored for you. Then suddenly, you would come into an unknown boutique to try out clothes."

"If they are dumb, they would know that it's a trap." Gabi shrugged. "This is just a small warning. I am letting them know that I am watching them."

"And if they are dumb?"

"Well… you should already know the answer, right?" Gabi said. "They die."

"You are too confident, I can't take it."

"And you are too casual," Gabi uttered. "People think that you are male. What would they say if a rumor about me being close to my cute bodyguard goes out? My bodyguard even chose a dress for me, ah. Isn't that too romantic? I am sure a lot of ladies would love this."

"…" Cyrus cleared her throat. "That— "

"Relax, I am kidding," Gabi said. "Aden knew that you are like this, so he chose you to follow me around. I hope it's not too much trouble for you."

"Ah? No… not at all."

"It would be too awkward for me to have a tall man following me around all the time, someone who only speaks a few words. I don't like that." After a few minutes, she decided to try on a few cocktail dresses before she bought them.

"Shall we leave now?"

Cyrus nodded at her. A signal that means their people outside already spotted some enemies around this area. "Let's go."

Gabi nodded. "Don't kill everyone. It would be a waste to let go of such beautiful blackmail material."

"…" Cyrus couldn't help but laugh. "Alright. Go to the car."

Gabi nodded. The reason why she was very confident this time is because Aden gave her twenty other guards just for this operation. It was in accordance with their previous deal. This fact alone made her appreciate that man's organization.

It seems that the information that she gave them really attracted their attention or Archy wouldn't have allowed her to use his people in the middle of the day.

Gabi felt the car running slowly. There was no traffic right now, but the driver deliberately did it to identify the two cars that were following behind them.

"It seems that they are going to make it look like you got caught in the crossfire," Cyrus said while holding the earpiece. "Our other people spotted some cars that showed some logo of Lion Gang. Earlier, we were able to confirm that the people following us were from the Nuance Gang. These two gangs were having turf wars every now and then. They have connections to the police, so convecting them is really hard."

"Well… we just need a stronger lawyer to prosecute them, right?"

Cyrus shrugged. "This place… especially the outskirts, had been ruled by gangs for the longest time. I don't think a smart prosecutor would handle that."

Gabi didn't answer this time. If one is smart, one would avoid facing dangerous people like this. However, she isn't looking for someone smart. She is looking for someone so courageous that they would go crazy when they see people like the gang who exploit and abuse other people.

And this is why she visited this place. "I will take care of that. However, I would need you to give me the information of these gangs."

"Eh?"

"You can't do that?"

"It's just that… I don't know if we could ask Sir Aden for something like that."

"Ah… so you are scared of him. Don't worry, I will call him." Gabi smiled. Right now, she was almost a hundred percent sure that Archy already knew about the Gangs even before she got into the car. And if they didn't want her to handle it, then they could easily hide the information about the Gangs from her.

But Cyrus easily revealed everything. It was as if… they wanted her to ask more about the Gangs.

Was this another test? She wondered.

When it comes to a secret society like them, using logic in everything is challenging. Sometimes, you have to use your instinct too.

"Hey, why did you call me?" She heard Aden answered after a few rings.

"I thought you already know why I called you?" she responded with a sly smile on her face.

"I am innocent."

"Whatever. If you want me to deal with them… then you have to give me information about them. Of course, this isn't for free."

"Ah? So… we owe you one?"

"Of course," Gabi answered.

"How sure are you that we needed your help?"

"Because… if you involve yourself too much… people are going to worry. And worried people aren't too good for your business."

"Sly kid."

"Old Fox," she retorted.

"Hey! I am not old!"

"You keep on calling me, kid. I know you don't mind if I called you old."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, that is so."

"Ah… I guess… I should still call you kid."

"…" This man… "Anyway, I am currently in the middle of an assassination attempt. A car is already blocking our car. So… I have to go. Please don't forget to send me that information." This time, she was the one who pressed the end button. She didn't wait for him to say anything.

Ah, that felt good, she thought. Just doing that made her smile. That was, until she turned towards Cyrus. "Why do you look pale?" she asked. "Did something happen?"
