Towards The Beguiled City (3)

A blacklist was mentioned... hence even if the woman felt so conflicted and unwilling to let the man go, she couldn't say or do anything due to his obvious threats.

What else could she do? If even the non-host, him, could take down people under a Level 6 Host's nose, what more of his true backer? What if this time, he summons that unknown higher-ranking host to show her where her proper place was?

It was really hateful. And it was even more hateful because she had to watch Gio Albarez walked away from the first floor's lobby in an untroubled and nonchalant manner like his blood-stained loose white robe was not something to give a damn for.

She didn't know if it was only due to his confidence that even if someone sees him in the streets, no harm or police would come to him since at most, he would only be mistaken for a vengeful and wandering male ghost.

After all, it was a very unholy hour and most people were asleep.
