Lazily Yours.

"The Shen Family?" the man lifted an eyebrow. "Little girl… this information is quite bothersome to acquire."

"Can you give it to me?" this facility was the place where people that needed information would go to. And this would be Lyca's entrance to the black market of Kong City. 

"Of course I can." The man nodded "I can acquire every information on this planet with the right price."

"Wonderful. Now… let's start with the Long Family. This is the formula to the drug that they were selling on the black market." She handed them an envelope from Yi'an. "And this if for the bullet."

"You— "

"I know that you can auction this information off. The bullet is very dangerous and other companies are starting to experiment with things. But because of the peculiarities of the chemicals used to make it, all of them failed."

"You are right. I am indeed planning to auction it off."

"Give me twenty percent."

"Eh?" the man tilted his head towards her as if he didn't hear her previous words. "Did I hear the right thing?"

"Yes," Lyca uttered. "The information about the Shen Family was valuable but… I can always get it from other people. However, the information about the drug and the bullet is something that you can only get from me."

"Hah!" the man beamed. "This was the first time someone would actually ask me something like this." Seeing the confidence in Lyca's eyes, the man couldn't help but wonder if she was someone sent by a powerful family. However, this was none of his business. He was never the type that would care about his client's background. This was one of the reasons why he was considered one of the most trustworthy people on the black market.

"Does that upset you?"

Lyca's question surprised him. He stared at the younger woman before he shook his head. "No." This was also the first time that he met someone so… direct. He couldn't help but wonder if the woman was in a hurry.

"Then… twenty percent."

"Alright. How do I contact you?" the man accepted the envelope.

"Conspiracy. I live in that place." Lyca uttered. "My assistant here will take care of things." The only reason why she personally came here was that this matter involves Shen Qui's maternal family. She felt that it was only right to handle this matter on her own. After all, this was her side of the bargain.

Lyca stood from and gave the man a friendly smile before she left with Yi'an. The two maintained the silence until they arrived in the car. After a few more minutes, Lyca and Yi'an arrived at the club. However, Lyca told Yi'an to find a house where she could stay. Perhaps buy one. 

Lyca wasn't planning to bring Yi'an inside the club as she wanted her to stay in the shadows and support her. She then went inside the club. Right now, the club was already packed with people. The strong scent of alcohol lingered in the air. For a few seconds, Lyca roamed her eyes, observing everyone inside the club.

Santa actually did an excellent job in changing the place. Previously, this club was already clean and elegant. However, after Shen Qui's suggestions in changing the lighting and seating arrangement, the club was now exuding the ambiance of elegance and fun. 

She eyed the two women hanging on the air with nothing but two cloth-like harnesses. Near the women were lights that flickered and seemed to dance along with them. Then her eyes went to the bar where a few men and women were waiting for their drinks while talking and flirting. Near the bar, a small stage was located with a huge piano. 

Previously, the theme of this club was red, but now, everything inside was painted black. Even the velvet couch was all black with gold accents. Even the elegant stairs that swirled towards the second floor was now painted in black.

"You here alone?"

Lyca turned towards the man who approached her. "No," then she dragged her eyes back to the chandelier that sparkled against the red and blue lighting of the dancefloor.

Seeing that Lyca wasn't interested, the man just left while shaking his head. Most people inside are not really here to drink but to mingle with other people their age. Some were just having a good time with their friends while drinking and occasionally dancing on the dance floor.

When Lyca saw that everyone seemed to enjoy the night, she decided to go to the second floor. When Lyca opened the door, the first thing that she saw was the twins, working closely with Shen Qui. And when she said 'closely' it means… it was too close. Lyca hid the flash of irritation in her eyes as she silently walked next to Shen Qui. 

"Hey," Shen Qui uttered, his eyes were on the laptop. 

"Where have you been?" Rue asked. Both Rue and Ronan wasn't aware that Lyca was the real boss in this place. In their eyes, she was but another expert that Shen Qui hired.

"Killing people."

"You should just stay here in case the boss needs you." Rue snorted.

Lyca didn't answer her as she stared at Shen Qui's elbow that was too close to Rue's elbow. The man seemed unaware of the closeness as he stared at the laptop in front of them. Lyca couldn't help but wonder what would make Shen Qui so busy, he didn't even lift his head to look at her.

"If he needs me. He can just find me." Lyca said. Her words were enough to attract Shen Qui's attention. Finally, he removed his eyes from the laptop and stared at Lyca. "If you think… I would hesitate to ruin that thing. Then think again." She can ruin his laptop and just buy him a new one. She started frowning at the intensity of her own irritation. Unable to understand her own emotion, Lyca grabbed one bottle of red wine and walked out of Shen Qui's office.

Was she jealous? She couldn't help but wonder. 

Wait… was she jealous of the laptop?

She stopped walking then decided to go back to the room. Seeing her back, silence once again descended inside as the three people watched her walk towards the laptop and grabbed it from Shen Qui.

Without saying anything, Lyca left with the laptop in her hand. And a bottle of wine on the other. If she was jealous of the laptop then she can just destroy it. Then buy him a new one.
