Chapter 191
“Ahem, ahem.” Eliana drobed on her roffer. “Cameron, when did you get here?”
Cameron glanced at the piece of paper in front of her. It was a list of IP addresses that Eliana had copied down earlier. Eliana quickly put the pap
“I stopped by the library to borrow a dictionary and saw you here, so I thought I’d come say hello. I haven’t been here long.”
“Oh okay”
“I just saw you writing down some addresses. Are you going there!”
Ehana stayed quiet Cameron saw her note anyway. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she dismissed it. “Just some random addresses, nothing important.”
Was Cameron’s eyesight good enough to see what she wrote on the note!
Eliana wanted to handle the black market situation alone, keeping it a secret. She knew if Cameron found out, things would become much more
troublesome.
She would feel anxious if her secret was found out. If too many people knew a secret, it was not a secret anymore.
*Ill be going then. Stella is waiting for me.”
“Okay” Cameron responded softly
Eliana packed her laptop into her bag, got up, and left. After leaving the library, she went straight to the cafeteria, had dinner with Stella, and then left Isonsread University after school.
Back home, Eliana led, saying that she was our for some fun with Thomas. Eliana often went out at night, so Lucy and Sebastian didn’t suspect. They just told her to be back by 10 p.m
She took a taxi to Neon Night, but the bar was tucked away in a maze of alley’s, inaccessible by car. She had to get out and walk the rest of the way
Eliana’s footsteps echoed in the darkness of the old, unlit alley. As the neared the end, a signboard came into view Neon Night.” “Found it.”
The bar’s entrance resembled a vintage nightclub. It looked old and had a cheap aromatherapy smell. Eliana pushed the door open. The interior design evoked a bygone era, reminiscent of a last–century nightclubs, and even the music had a dated, almost faded quality
She glanced around. There were no customers, but belund the bar was a middle–aged man with long hair, a cigarette in his mouth, wiping a glass. “Sorry, we’re closed.”
“But it’s only eight o’clock To be fair, how could a bar close at eight Eliana approached, but the man’s gaze remained fixed on his glass, the cigarette dangling from his lips and bobbing with each word, ash dropping silently.
“We don’t serve guests”
“Why? Can’t you understand me?” The man, visibly irritated, glared at Elsana
Eliana sat on the high stool in front of the bar, her chin resting on one hand. She smiled, saying word by word, 1 understand others. Laust can’t understand you“.
The main was speechless. She meant that he was strange so she couldn’t understand him: Such provocative words made the man put his glass heavily on the table.
Elana said. “Hey, hey, hey, be careful, it would be a pity if such a good hexagram crystal cup breaks.” As she spoke, Eliana looked around, found the stairs leading to the second floor on the right, and asked, “Are they upstairs”
The man stopped abruptly, his disdain for Eliana replaced by scrutiny. His hand discreetly moved towards the alarm button under the table, ready to alert those upstairs if trouble arose. “Who are you?”
“No need to be so nervous.”
Five individuals controlled the vast information network of the black market. They were scattered across the globe, only coming together once every two years.

The information they hold maintained a delicate balance with various forces around the world. They remained separated to avoid being captured all at once. Titre keys granted access tis the information database server.
Every two years, the three keys were rotated among the five key keepers, with each taking turns safeguarding them. Today, they would meet for the key exclunge. This location was shrouded in secrecy, never to be disclosed.
The man thought, Tut this woman? Who is she? She doesn’t look like an ordinary customer here for a drink!
tapped her fingers on the table and said with interest. “Why don’t you guess who I am?
The man was alerted. He had killing intent in his eyes when he looked at Eliana. “I don’t like to guess. Whoever you are, you will soon be dead…
The moment he stopped talking, the man drew a silenced pistol from his waistband and anned it at Eliana. At such close range, he could easily hit
However, Eliana was one step ahead of him. The man froze. Before he could pull the trigger, he felt a chill on his neck. He looked down and sawa. small blade from a utility knife stack in his neck. Excruciating pain suddenly swept through his body
Ellana easily took the gun, twirled it in her hand, and wamed. “Don’t move or try to grab it. You’ll get hurt. You don’t want to make a mess, do you?”
Elana had carefully maneuvered the extremely sharp utility knife, avoiding any areas that would prove faral. However, if he removed it, the situation could turn deadly. Tucking the gun behind her back, she glanced at her watch; time was running out.
Im going upstairs first. I advise you not to pull it out. You will die if you do.” With that, she strode towards the stairs, taking wo steps at a time, and went up to the second floor.
There was only one room on the second floor. She politely knocked on the door first and introduced herself at the door, “Hello everyone, I’m coming in first
No answer was beard. With a “click“, the door opened and Eliana walked in calmly.
Five men were sitting in the room, but there were six glasses on the table. Eliana glanced around and smiled. The five middle–aged men were all panicked when they saw Eliana.
Since only one person was from Fuvrean, Eliana could speak freely, knowing they would all understand Gentlemen, let’s not waste time. I’m six Noir. You’ve been searching for me, haven’t you?”
Nobody replied to her. “What? They looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. How on earth did this woman get upstairs?
Only the man who was from Monoesil understood Eliana’s words. He was shocked. “What do you want?”
“Peaceful coexistence. I want you to cancel the wanted order on the black market.”
“Impossible! You dare to hack into our system, we will never tolerate you.”
Eliana smiled slightly. That’s easy. When I came, I sent the coordinates here to the International Criminal Police. In five minutes, this place will be locked by satellite. Since you don’t choose peace, let the black market disappear.”
