Morning Mist was wearing a thin black overcoat over tight black jeans.

Standing perfectly straight and holding her hands behind her back, she looked at him in sheer fascination.

Kai looked back at her.

He was just too curious about her Charisma'. It wasn't just a face card, true enough, but beauty still remained the greatest factor contributing toward the Attribute.

"Leaflet." Kai threw the word, expressionless.

It was true he had a thing for mature women. It was also true he had complete control over all such urges. Unless there was a benefit in it, he wouldn't even smile at someone.

Morning Mist smiled gently and threw out a paper plane towards Kai.

At a glance, it didn't look like a simple plane as it kept speeding up, flying across the room.

From Kai's side of the room, a dagger flashed and shredded the paper plane. He didn't need any parlor trick to know that he could kill this woman. It wouldn't be as difficult a task as killing Heavy Block, but it wouldn't be as easy as killing a mid-level 3rd-floor Contestant. Anyway, he had the element of surprise, and it would be his choice when to use it.

"Leaflet," Kai demanded again.

There was a finality in his voice, warning the listener that he would tolerate no further prodding.

The red-haired woman reached into her overcoat's pocket and took out a neatly folded leaflet. She threw it at Kai, but this time, he let it come to him.

When Kai unfolded it, there were rows of texts on its blank side, stating Kai's Code Name, her own Code Name, and her Main Mission, which was to act as Assistant to Probationary Captain.

That's it.

That's it had never been enough for the Blood Demon.

"Move... and die," said Kai, walking around the room.

It was a single bedroom, but quite spacious. There was a sofa set, a wardrobe, a TV sitting over a table drawer, and a bathroom. It took Kai 15 minutes to go through every inch of the entire room, searching for anything that might be out of place.

Morning Mist gawked at him all the time, her mouth opening and closing every time Kai paused and double-checked something.

When he was done, Kai returned to his position. "When did you leave this room last time?"

"I was teleported to this room 20 minutes ago," said Morning Mist, still standing straight at her place.

Kai gave the woman a deep look as she gazed at him with open curiosity. "I accept her leaflet," he proclaimed, finding no other fault.

The notification appeared then.
