Chapter 173
The beautiful boss looked at the silent Ryan Roberts, thinking that he was interested.
She immediately swayed her hips and approached him.
Just as her hand was about to touch Ryan’s chest, it was suddenly blocked by a slender hand.
Ryan was slightly startled and looked up to see Marina Bailey standing in front of him.
The attention of the beautiful boss was also drawn to her.
“What’s going on? Is this young man with you?” the beautiful boss raised an eyebrow.
Marina didn’t answer her question but directly took out a small bag from her pocket and threw it into the
arms of the beautiful boss.
The beautiful boss received it with surprise..

Upon opening it, she discovered that it contained shining gold bars.
Her eyes lit up.
“Can you prepare rooms for us now?” Marina’s red lips parted.
“Certainly, I’ll take you to our best rooms right away,” the beautiful boss instantly changed her attitude
and led the way with a very attentive expression.
Everyone looked stunned.
Marina Bailey, along after the boss.
Although the beautiful boss imed to provide them with the best room, the actual environment was
extremely poor.
It was a small suite with two beds and nothing else.
There was nothing else.
It was as basic and shabby as it could be.
“Thank you,” Marina expressed gratitude, despite the disappointing conditions.
“No need to be so polite with me, my dear. I particrly like straightforward and lively women like you.
Those stinky men don’t understand how good! am. Would you like to have a good chat with me, little
sister?” The beautiful boss flirtatiously threw a seductive nce at Marina.
“Remember, I’m not exclusively into men,” the beautiful boss added, trying to catch Marina’s attention.
“Thank you for the offer, but I prefer men,” Marina politely declined with a smile.
“That’s a pity. However, I think you should give it a try. Who knows, after you experience it, you might
find women better than men,” the beautiful boss persisted unwilling to give up.
Marina’s attractive appearance and generous nature were indeed captivating.
“No need, really,” Marina replied firmly.
Seeing her unwavering determination, the beautiful boss had no choice but to give up.
“Well, I won’t disturb your rest then,” the beautiful boss said, turning to leave.
However, when she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and stopped, ncing
back at Marina.
US Mon,
“You, little sister, perfectly fit my taste, so I’ll kindly give you a piece of advice,” she said.
“We’ve had some unruly people here recently. If there’s nothing important, don’t leave your room.
Otherwise, if something happens to you outside the hotel, I won’t take responsibility,” the beautiful boss
warned.
“Understood,” Marina expressed her gratitude and agreed.
“Well, I’m really leaving now, the beautiful boss prepared to depart. However, she couldn’t help but turn
back and look at Marina, still unwilling to let go. “Little sister, if you change your mind and want to give
it a try, remember toe find me.”
“If that dayes, I will look for you,” Marina nodded.
“Sister will be waiting for you,” the beautiful boss smiled and left.
As soon as she left, Marina immediately closed the door.
The atmosphere in the room instantly changed.
“Captain, did you bring us to a shady ce? Is this rundown room worth a bag of gold bars?!” Brendon
finally voiced his thoughts.
“Do you know why those people watching us didn’t follow us here?” Marina disregarded the value of
the gold bars she had given away.
Marina sat leisurely on the bed next to her.
After all, there was not even a chair in the room.
The bed was the only option.
“Why? It can’t be because of thatdy boss, right?” Brendon instinctively asked.
“Correct,” Marina gave him an affirmative answer.
A look of astonishment appeared on Brendon’s face immediately.
The others also found it hard to believe.
After all, the woman they encountered earlier did not seem exceptional, apart from being a bit
frivolous.
Her gait did not resemble that of a martial artist.
“Here, there is no punishment for killing. Every day, you may stumble upon a fresh corpse in some
alley,” Marina spoke calmly.
“And they will emotionlessly dispose of the bodies in the river outside,” she continued.
“It’s not because they hold any reverence for life, but simply because those corpses might encroach
upon their territory,” Marina exined lightly.
Pyan rumpled his brow.
He knew that Meridonid had always been somewhat chaotic, but he hadn’t expected it to reach such a
state.
“Although this ce is filled with violence and danger, it’s also the only refuge for many ouws,”
Marina added.
“No one here will pry into your information, and the outside informationwork cannot trace this
ce,” she continued.
“So, in a sense, this is a very safe stronghold,” Marina concluded.
“Was that innkeeper just now the bass of this ce?” Brendon asked.
“She’s not the boss, but as long as we stay in her inn, the people outside won’ty a hand on us,”
Marina replied.
“Now we need to n carefully on how to rescue Professor Jardine,” Marina said as she took a small
computer from her backpack.

Theputer was only half the size of a regr notebook, but it was custom built by Marina herself,
and there was only one of its kind in the world.
Her fingers swiftly tapped on the keyboard, and after a moment, Marina projected the decrypted
information onto the opposite wall.
Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward it.
It was a map.
“Professor Jardine is currently located here,” Marina pointed at theputer screen and circled an
area.
The map projected on the wall also had a circle drawn on it.
“This is our current location,” Marina pointed at the edge of the map.
“I just hacked into their surveince system, and Professor Jardine’s apartment is under 24–hour
surveince,” she continued.
“As far as i know, at least five parties are monitoring Professor Jardine,” Marina exined.
“The most dangerous among them is the authority of Meridonia, who has deployed their elite special
forces for this task.”
“These are the profiles of some of their team members,” Marina slid her finger lightly on theputer
screen, and the identities of several agents instantly appeared.
Ryan focused on the person at the forefront, his expression changing.
“I know this person. We had a confrontation during a previous mission,” Ryan said, catching Marina
Bailey’s gaze.
“Who won between you two?” Marina inquired.
Ryan creased his brows and replied, “I was injured then, so it was a draw. But if we face each other
now, I’m confident I can defeat him.”
