Chapter 337: The Glare (1/2)

The young woman watched Leonel's back disappear into the distance, her breathing still hitching. It was only after a long while that she gritted her teeth in rage. If it wasn't for the fact she was still in public, she would have likely found anything she could to throw and bash around.

'How dare he! How dare he! How dare he!'

The young lady ground her teeth in silence.

”Rie? What happened? Who was that guy?”

At that moment, a familiar voice to the young lady stepped forward.

The young woman, Rie, looked up to find exactly who she expected to. It was another young woman of similar age and type. They both had decent looks and cute features. It was truly a case of like people attracting one another. From afar, they even looked quite like sisters even though they weren't.

”Syl… Ugh, I thought you said that this job would be easy?”

Syl giggled, rounding Rie's desk and hooking her arm around her friends.

”You've already had this job for years. Now that you've soaked up all the benefits, you want to come back here and blame me?”

It seemed that Syl had quite the standing. If not, how could she have possibly helped Rie gain such a position?

Syl seemed quite amused by her friends complaining and wanted to ask more, but the teleportation pad suddenly lit once again.

Rie hid her dissatisfaction and politely greeted another client. After some pleasantries, she sent this person on their way and sat back down in a huff.

”Now can you tell me what happened?”

Rie pouted. ”With your connections, you could easily find out. Why make me talk about something that makes me upset? What kind of friend are you?”

Syl giggled. ”Second and third hand information isn't as good as the real thing. Come on, don't hold out on me. Plus, you know that my family doesn't have much jurisdiction over them…”

When she said these words, Syl's playful expression became a tad bit more solemn. But, regardless she still pressed Rie for answers.

Rie sighed and caved in.

”A couple months ago, they briefed all of us attendants on some new information. Apparently they're cracking down on fugitives and escapees. Whenever I see a sign of suspicious activity, I'm supposed to make small talk with the suspect and secretly call for reinforcements. But this bastard actually glared at me like that just because I was doing my job.”

Syl's eyes sparkled. ”A crackdown? Why? Who are they trying to catch? Who would be bold enough to become a fugitive in the eyes of those people?”

Clearly, to Syl, this wasn't a normal case…

Let's just say that becoming a fugitive of a world or even a network of worlds wasn't as bad as becoming a fugitive in the eyes of these people.

”I don't know anything, I just followed their orders.” Rie said with an exasperated sigh.

Syl giggled. ”He only glared at you a bit, is there a need to be so angry?”

Rie gave her own glare at these words. ”You don't get it. I thought I was going to die. A measely Third Dimensional brat actually pressured me, how embarrassing.”

Syl blinked. ”He was in the Third Dimension yet you still called them for him?”

Rie froze for a moment. Then, she blushed profusely. It seemed she realized she had done something wrong.
