"Captain Zephyr, we've investigated, but there are no witnesses nearby. Whoever did this is likely a top-tier expert. Could the murderer be a member of the Tiger Faction or one of the Great Four Warrior Clans?" said a member of the law enforcement team. Willa frowned. "I need to find out who this expert is. Go ahead! Look into this!" Just then, someone rushed in with urgent news. "Captain Zephyr, we received an emergency order. The higher-ups want us to report that Donnie was causing trouble in the streets, and our team shot him dead!" Willa's expression changed dramatically. "Again? Last time, with the Ripper incident, the mayor's office ordered us to take credit even though our team didn’t solve the case!" "Maybe your dad is trying to help you get ahead," a subordinate replied awkwardly. "Cut it out!” Willa snapped. “I became Captain Zephyr because of my hard work. It has nothing to do with my dad being mayor!" "Yes, Captain..." Willa frowned as she recalled the man who

Jennifer was well aware that Frederick, who came from a modest background, wasn't familiar with the games played by the wealthy elite. Despite their laid-back appearance, Stan and his friends were worldly and accustomed to high society, having grown up with one-on-one tutoring and luxurious international education. In terms of various skills, they far surpassed the average person. Moreover, betting a million on a game with such poor odds was a sure path to disaster. Jennifer's expression was stern as she said, "You're just a low-wage worker earning a few thousand a month. What will you do if you lose? How will you cover a million-dollar debt? Your family struggled to raise you; don't ruin your life trying to show off." After a moment of shock, Stan and his friends burst into laughter. "Man! We seriously thought you were a wealthy child in disguise; however, you are a poor child earning a pitiful wage." "If you can't afford to play, then scram! This isn't a game for someone

Donovan's complexion changed rapidly at the criticism. Suddenly, a muscular man with an imposing appearance emerged from the crowd. It was Sebastian, Mirage City's top Krav Maga expert. He had beaten several international pros and was considered the closest one could get to being a Savant Grandmaster. "Sebastian, I'm glad you could make it!" Stan said, rushing over. "We've got a troublemaker here who hit me and said everyone was worthless!" Sebastian's temper flared, and he shouted, "Who has the guts to say that? Didn’t he insult me too?!" Stan made things up on the spot, claiming, "I even mentioned your name, but he said you're as insignificant as an ant to him." Sebastian's eyes blazed with anger. He scoffed coldly, "Looks like I haven't killed anyone in a while and some people have forgotten to fear me!" A chilling aura emanated from him, sending shivers down everyone's spines. "This guy's leveled up! He's almost at the level of a Savant Grandmaster!" Sebastian stood

Jennifer narrowed her eyes. "You're letting me go?" Alec responded with a dark grin. "Marrying into my family would be a gift for a woman from a second-rate family like yours! Look after my son during the day and take care of me at night; maybe I'll give you a child! That would be your ticket to the top." Before Alec could finish, Jennifer seized a glass of water from the table and threw it in his face. "That's my answer! Thank you!" Soaked, Alec's smile froze on his face. "How dare you!" The guards’ expressions changed and they surrounded Jennifer swiftly, their presence intimidating. Donovan was equally taken aback. He tried to calm the situation. "Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding! We came here to talk, not to fight!" "I will show some respect to Officer Sanders today. Let her go!" Despite the public embarrassment, Alec laughed rather than showing anger. Having braced herself for a severe fallout, Jennifer was shocked. She turned around and left the room.-

Alec delivered a sharp slap to Jennifer's face. "Jennifer! You brought this on yourself! Strip her!"Instantly, Bianca's consortium and the Tiger Faction's minions rushed forward like a tidal wave, hoisting Jennifer up with ropes.Her clothing was torn to shreds, exposing her pale skin and striking figure. Fragments of her clothes dropped to the ground, with glimpses of her panties visible beneath.Brandishing a whip, Bianca lashed Jennifer across the face without hesitation.Jennifer screamed in agony, her body contorting in pain as the whip left a gruesome mark on her once flawless face.Alec laughed and urged from the sidelines, "Feeling the pain now? Keep whipping her! Harder!"The whip continued to lash at Jennifer, drawing blood and leaving her battered and bruised.Jennifer, now the picture of a tragic damsel in distress, looked around desperately, pleading, "I've been wronged. Please, someone help me!"But the wealthy spectators, who had fawned over Jennifer just moment
