Ryan asked himself that he was a person with clear public and private affairs. After returning to Closebell, he did not go to see Lisha as soon as possible, but came to the guerrilla association on East Street to report.

When Michelle saw that Ryan had returned on the day of the school opening ceremony, she asked in surprise, "Oh~ Are you getting on the train just after the school opening ceremony? Why are you so slow to get there?"

Ryan shrugged, looked at the empty hall and said, "This is a long story...what else?"

"Estir and Joshua are patrolling outside the city today and are now home from get off work."

"Lin and Aiolia went to St. Ursla Medical University to carry out their mission, so they probably have to spend the night there. Scott and Wincheer are now investigating a task I have entrusted them today. As for Arios..."

Michel shrugged, "That workaholic is rushing back. Now he should be in Altaire. I hope he can take time to accompany him within five days of his anniversary."

"Task?"

Ryan raised his brows and looked at Michelle seriously and asked, "I always feel that I have a bad premonition. What kind of task does the two of them need to investigate in the city together?"

"Hmph~You still feel so keen."

A sharp light flashed in Michelle's eyes, "It's about Rubacher's upcoming Black Auction."

"Black auction?" A flash of light in Ryan's eyes, "is the underground illegal auction that is held every year on the anniversary of the founding? Have you received the exact news this time?"

Michelle shook her head regretfully, "No, but I still want to try to catch some clues. Just right, tomorrow you will investigate separately with Wen Caier and others."

"It's difficult for the police station and the guards to interfere in this matter because the orders from the upper level are too high. It's relatively easy for us to move here. I hope to get some exact clues before the Black Auction begins."

Speaking of the Black Auction, this is a shame among the shame of the Closebell Police Department and the Guards.

This illegal auction is held every year under his nose, but due to the various constraints brought about by the special nature of Crossbell, Dudley looks like he grits his teeth every time he mentions this topic.

The venue was very clear, right in the mansion of Speaker Haltermann in the deepest part of the villa complex of Mithuram.

However, it is impossible for the guards and police stations to conduct a forced search of the dignified speaker's residence. The guerrilla association is also somewhat restricted by its oath of not being involved in politics, which makes this underground auction be held as scheduled every year.

"Oh~" Michelle lamented with her face in her hands, "It would be great if she could get an invitation, so she could enter the auction venue blatantly."

"If those auction items that were illegally smuggled in are exposed, it will be a felony crime, but unfortunately..."

"Invitation letter...?"

Ryan showed a thoughtful expression on his face, "Who will this invitation be posted to? Celebrities from Kezhou and surrounding countries?"

"Well, the upper class people who have contacts with Rubacher in both political and business circles will receive them, and there will be distinguished guests from abroad. In previous years, Deputy Commander Dudley and Sonia tried to get invitations from these people, but they never did what they wanted."

"After all, there are many goods they are interested in at the auction, and Rubacher's smuggled goods have not completely crossed the boundaries, at least it has not been able to endure the level of being untolerable to the guards and police stations."

Michelle gritted his teeth and said, "Malconi's fat pig has become more and more blatant in recent years. He is simply tempting crazy on the edge of danger. I will show him a good look sooner or later!"

Ryan nodded without commenting, "I understand this. I'll try it through my own channels. Maybe... I can really get an invitation."

Michelle's eyes narrowed slightly, and nodded after considering Ryan's identity, "You should pay attention to your own qualities. If you fully expose your identity, it will be inconvenient for your future movement in Kezhou."

"I have a clear idea of ​​this, and I will definitely not directly expose myself to get the invitation."

Ryan lifted his suitcase and said, "I'll go home first. I'll come to the association to report tomorrow morning. Then, let's exchange information with Senior Wen Caier and the others."

After quickly throwing his luggage back to Acacia Village, Ryan took one of the Arcus he had brought back and left the renting house again.

When he came to Long Lao Hotel, Lixia still dined here as usual, and she was talking about something with Sangsang with a smile on her face.

"Huh~"

Ryan sat next to Lixia without seeing her, ordering two side dishes with meat and vegetable dishes under Sangsang's hostile gaze. When the watchmaker turned around and ordered food to her father, who was the chef, Ryan finally found the opportunity to talk to Lixia, who had a slightly red face.

"Lixia, how are you preparing for your performance? You won't be nervous when you officially go on stage tomorrow, right?"

Lixia lowered her head slightly and replied shyly, "Fortunately... After that preview, I have gradually gotten used to dancing under the eyes of everyone, but... I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think of the exposed clothes outside the performance."

Ryan couldn't help but feel a little trance when he thought of Lixia's costumes for Moon Dance. Lixia could tell through his repeated thoughts... Ryan was definitely thinking wrongly.

Lixia's face turned red when she thought of this. After a while, she finally couldn't help but stretch out her finger and poked Ryan under the table. This was already the limit that the gentle Lixia could do...

After being interrupted, Ryan pretended to be calm and embarrassed and said, "Cough... I can't do anything about this. Since you have entered this industry, you can only learn to adapt. Besides, isn't that set of clothes very good?"

"Bang!"

The scene that seemed similar to Ryan was once again present. Sangsang, who was smiling and not smiling, placed a plate of Kung Pao chicken on the table, and his forehead was beating and said, "Customer, can you stop teasing my friends in the store? Don't you want to be blacklisted by your father, right?"

"Forehead……"

Ryan looked at the sharp eyes of Chef Huo, the semi-open kitchen, and could only admit defeat and lower his head to start eating.

Sangsang leaned over Lixia and stared at Ryan tightly, whispering to confirm something in Lixia's ear. After a while, he let out a silver bell-like laugh as gently as Lixia slapped Lixia with her face flushed.

The security conditions in the old city are much worse than those in the two popular residences, East Street and West Street, not to mention the residential areas where upper classes gather.

That night, Ryan slipped into the cheap rented house on the second floor of Lotus Apartment without any effort. At this time, Lixia was still silently confirming the final confirmation to Taiwanese.

Seeing Ryan come in, Lixia looked outside with some guilt, "You haven't been discovered by others when you come in?"

Ryan sat down on the bed where Lixia was tidy and neatly tidy... There was no way, the only chair in this cheap room was being used by Lixia.

Ryan rolled his eyes and said, "Hey... you underestimate me too much. Although you can't compare with you in secret operations, you can't be discovered by ordinary people no matter how hard it is."

"Give it, this is the gift I brought to you from the Empire. I have just made personalized adjustments to suit your attributes and habits through Master Kiyom."

“Huh?”

Lisha curiously took the tactical guide he handed over from Ryan. "Enigma... It seems wrong, is this?"

Ryan held the back of his head with both hands and fell onto her bed under Lixia's slightly complaining gaze.

Ryan explained with a relaxed look on his face, "This is the latest empire tactical guide Arcus jointly developed by Ryan Folt and Epstein Consortium. Although the magic configuration is not as personal as Ainigma,..."
