Chapter 1178
Chapter 1178 Simr Voice
Crystal’s POV:
After learning that Rufus and I were from the imperial pce, the two clowns struggled with all their
might. I was caught off-guard, and almost failed to subdue them. Fortunately, Rufus acted quickly and
knocked them unconscious. He then grabbed a chain lying nearby and locked them inside a closet. He
also made a call and dispatched his men to take these two back to the pce for interrogation.
“This is a significant lead,” Rufus reassured me. “We should be able to find Arron soon, don’t worry.”
He then took a clown costume from the racks and handed it to me. “Here, put this on. Let s try to catch
up with the group that just left.”
“Right!” I took the brightly-colored clothes and hurriedly put them on, as well as the mask that came
with the set.
From what I could tell, there were very few she-wolves in the gang. To avoid stirring any suspicions, I
plucked a makeup kit and a wig from the dresser. I was nning to darken whatever patch of skin I had
exposed. Luckily, the room had all kinds of cosmetics and paints, and with some effort, I finally looked
like amonborer who had been ving away in the sun.
To wrap things up, Rufus donned the hat that one of the clowns had been wearing before putting the
other one on my head. “Let’s go.”
He made to lead me out of the dressing room, but we stopped short as we heard frantic footsteps from
outside, followed by a loud banging at the door.
We exchanged a nce and immediately got into a fighting stance.
“Is everything okay? Why are you taking so long? Can’t you even do something so simple, huh? We’ve
been waiting for you all this time!”
It sounded like the she-wolf in the pink mask, whom I had already pegged as the most arrogant of the
group. She yelled and pounded on the door.
“Where are they? And why is the damn door even locked?”
We soon heard the jangling of the keys, and one was inserted into the door knob.
I grabbed Rufus’ arm in panic. “We can’t let her in, or she’ll definitely see through our disguises.”
As luck would have it, the two clowns we had locked away seemed to have woken up at this point.
They had no doubt heard the she-wolf, too, judging by all the racket they were making from inside the
closet.

If the she-wolf came inside, a fight would inevitably ensue, and while we could certainly defeat her, we
don’t have a third person to take her ce. Her absence would surely be noted by herrades.
Rufus gestured at me to be quiet and gave me a reassuring nod.
I returned it and loosened my grip on him. I watched as he held his hand over his mouth and lightly
coughed, and then he spoke in a voice that sounded uncannily simr to one of the clowns we had
captured.
“We’ll be right there. You should go downstairs and wait for a little longer.”
“Hurry up, you bastards!” The she-wolf kicked the door impatiently, but no longer tried to open it, thank
the Moon Goddess.
“The car is sitting behind the four yellow trash cans near the back door.”
“Got it,” Rufus replied, sessfully fooling the she-wolf.
We waited until everything was quiet again, and then we moved. The two clowns in the closet were still
making some noise. Rufus strode over and flung its door open, and the clowns fell out while holding on
to each other.
Rufus made quick work of knocking them out again before stashing them back inside. He had just
finished scribbling a note for his men to let them know where to look when the she-wolf returned.
Rufus’ expression tensed, and his eyes shed at the door. My chest tightened as well. I could almost
taste my fear on my tongue.
A couple of knocks came at the door, and then the she-wolf yelled, “Don’t forget to bring the red box
down! The boss needs it!” I swiveled around and found the said box in one corner. I shuffled over and
opened it to find a pile of protective suits inside.
“Yes, of course, we’ll bring it with us!” Rufus called out.
Atst, the she-wolf left, and everything was silent again.
