Ryan and Hailin arrived early at the agreed place, waiting for the person's arrival. According to Renault, an information dealer named Richard is about to bring something to them and wants them to accept it.

In a corner of the underground called the Black Market, on a deserted roadside, Ryan stood alone. Helene hid carefully, just in case.

"Hey, you are on time." Ryan turned to the source of the sound and saw a tired man approaching. He knew what the collar around the man's neck was. This man was carrying a girl wearing a dirty black rope.

"Are you Richard?" Ryan called him, and the man replied: "That's right." Ryan felt that this man was very suspicious.

"Reno said he sent a messenger, but he didn't expect it to be the 'Thunder Emperor' himself. What is Reno's identity?"

Ryan didn't answer Richard's question. Instead, he looked at the girl and asked, "Where's she?"

Richard said, "That's right," and handed the girl to Ryan.

"Are you the buyer of 'gifts'?" the girl said.

Ryan nodded and narrowed his eyes: "There will be transactions in the future. I want to know your name. I am Ryan."

After Ryan finished speaking, the girl took off her hat and revealed her true face. A girl about 15 years old, with brown twin tails, fair complexion, and obvious freckles on her nose: "I am Liza Luthien."

Ryan was a little surprised: "Is this true?"

"What's the meaning?"

Ryan responded and glared at Richard: "We are considering whether you will prepare some fake and shoddy products."

The girl who called herself Lize lowered her head helplessly and took out something from the rope pocket. It was a slender glass container with a needle at the top, and the liquid inside was an unsettling black color.

"Want to try it out?"

Ryan shook his head. He felt that no matter how much money was given to him, he would not try it.

Bored, he shrugged, Renault's words echoing in his mind: "If this guy really brought the real Liz -"

Ryan glared at Richard unceremoniously again, his target was the collar: "Can you take off that collar for me?"

Richard tilted his head: "How is it possible to take it off?"

"Forget it, move it away and show me your neck."

"Why is this-"

"Can't do it?"

Ryan's words made Richard sigh, just as he was about to move the collar...

In an instant, the blade was unsheathed, and Ryan pulled out a sword that appeared on his back. At the same time, he stepped closer and pointed the sword at Richard's location.

The sword blade passed by Liza's face and penetrated where Richard was. Although he split the air, Ryan only looked behind him with his eyes: "You really reacted very quickly, Phantom."

Facing Ryan's words full of firm determination, the corners of Richard's mouth twisted, and Lizzie took a step back in surprise.

"How did you know?" Richard had to ask.

"It's not that I know, Renault saw it from the beginning." Ryan said, recalling the conversation with Renault.

"That guy named Richard is the Phantom." Renault said this after Ryan met Richard in the hotel room.

"Is it your ability?"

"Well, that's right."

"So, can I fight him?"

"This judgment is left to you. However, if that guy really brings the real Lize, just protect her."

Ryan hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Got it."

Ryan drew another sword from his back and was ready to point it at Richard. Richard impatiently held the collar and took it off: "So you didn't intend to trade from the beginning?"

There was nothing on Richard's neck, but a bandage appeared there the next moment: "What a meaningless little move."

Richard opened his arms. Then, a colorful and textured cane appears on the right hand, and a clown mask appears on the left hand. Then the clothes changed into a yellow gown, and a silk hat appeared in the air, stopping beautifully on the face.

"So, what are you going to do?" With that said, Richard put on his mask.

The two looked at each other.

However, in such an environment, there was one person whose eyes were trembling slightly and full of surprise.

"Reno...?" Lize's voice made Ryan's eyes move slightly behind him.

"Reno Foer, you should know, right?"

Confused, Lize murmured softly: "Brother..." and then cautiously took a step back. Ryan had an ominous premonition, and Liz suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Hey, wait!" The uneasy premonition came true. Ryan was about to turn around, but he used his sword to deflect the sudden electric current.

"To be distracted under such circumstances is really underestimating me."

Ryan sighed and stared at Richard: "It's really abominable to interrupt others when they are talking."

"You were actually tricked by a girl, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Electricity crackled between the two.

In Lize's mind, which was running as fast as she could, her thoughts were very confused.

This was a series of events of unknown significance that should have been a normal transaction. With buyers, the "gift" should be spread to more people.

But the man was a liar, and the liar actually named the dead Renault. Additionally, Richard's identity as a black market tipster is revealed.

"Why......!"

All of this is unbelievable, but the focus of the confusion is only one: "Is Big Brother...still alive?"

There is still a possibility of survival for the person who was thought to be dead. Although I was happy, my confusion was stronger than this.

Is that blond boy Ryan worthy of belief?

Ryan had no reason to lie to Liz.

On the contrary, there was no reason to tell her the truth.

Actions could have been taken to prove whether Lane was lying, but she chose to avoid it.

why?

Even if you look for the reason, you can't find the answer.

Liz slowed down when she saw a crowded street. Now that we're here, it shouldn't be noticeable. When Li Ze stopped thinking about this, she felt the blade on her neck.

"Don't move, I don't want to do anything to you." Hailin put the knife on Lize's neck from behind and bound her back hand with her left hand. Lize let out a weird sound in her throat because of Hailin's strong murderous aura. Grunting.

"I was entrusted by Renault to protect you."

Here we go again...someone mentioned my eldest brother's name again.

"Who are you?" Liz's question contained fear.

"We are Renault's 'partners'." In order to appease Liz, Hailin said in a heavy voice.

"Partner?" Lize repeated Hailin's words. Suddenly, her eyes suddenly turned angry.

"Don't say stupid things." Lize grabbed Hailin's knife with her right hand.

"What?" Hailin was frightened by the blood that Lize shed. Hailin was distracted for a moment, and Lize turned around and kicked Hailin away hard.

"Do you know the weight of those words?" Hailin was stunned by Lize's sudden change.

"What is a partner! What a despicable person says easily is not worth mentioning!!"

"You, what are you doing?" Lize threw something, and Hailin reacted and pushed it away.

It was a glass container with a needle on it and a thick, dark red liquid inside.

"You mentioned big brother's name. So get ready, asshole."

Hailin turned her gaze back to Lize and saw two glass containers stuck on her body. The black liquid inside was entering her body, and Hailin's eyes widened in surprise.
