Chapter 174: I Never Taught You to Lie

(The chapter title was wrong, it should be Chapter 173, damn it. The chapter title cannot be changed. Fuck.)

Rewinding time by 48 hours, the location is a still-operational seafood processing factory in the Deep Anchor District of Opportunity City.

The temperature in Opportunity City has risen to 30 degrees these past few days, and the humid, sultry air near the seaside makes one's body slick with sweat.

Bare-chested workers are processing batches of fish and then freezing them with ice blocks for transportation to other cities.

Hainerd, carrying a bag of groceries and water purchased from the supermarket, passed through the workspace of the factory, followed a discreet staircase downward, and arrived at a spacious basement.

In the basement, an old air conditioner hummed, maintaining the temperature at 24 degrees, which was very comfortable.

Before he even opened the green iron door, Hainerd could hear a woman's breathing from inside.
