As the conversation dropped, the few surrounding her paused in bewilderment.
The man in charge also glanced at Mirabella, and it was only then that he realized the young woman had come alone, yet exhibited no fear whatsoever, as if she didn't consider them a threat at all.
Such presence…
“Who exactly are you?” The man in charge didn’t dwell on the meaning behind Mirabella’s words but narrowed his eyes, quickly pondering whether she hailed from any notable families in Riverdale.
Mirabella didn’t respond, her eyes shimmering, casting another glance at the boy in the corner.
Feeling the murderous intent, Cassie’s scalp tightened, and he quickly scrambled up from the ground, “Alright, sis, don’t be mad. I’ll handle this.”
Hearing the boy’s words behind him, the man in charge reflexively turned his head, only to suddenly feel weak, collapsing to the ground shortly after.
Not just him, but the subordinates around Mirabella also fell to the ground, weakened.
Seeing this, the eyes of the man in charge widened in horror, completely at a loss as to how the situation had taken such a sudden turn.
It was only when he saw the boy who had been cowering in the corner approaching with clapping hands did the man in charge seem to come to a realization.
The person who dared to disrupt their operation couldn’t possibly be harmless; they had all been deceived by the boy’s appearance…
Cassie didn’t even glance at the man’s expression, jogging over to Mirabella, trying to please her with a grin, “...Hehe, sis, that medicine you brought back last time really works wonders.”
Mirabella stepped aside with disdain, “Get lost, who’s your sister.”
“It’s you, it’s you, it’s definitely you!” Cassie said earnestly.
Mirabella turned away with a scowl, walking off.
The room was left with just the people on the ground, none of them speaking, nor did any of them reach for a walkie-talkie for backup.
It seemed they were all immersed in the boy’s last words.
**
Mirabella and Cassie exited the room, finding the corridor outside unguarded. The two openly took the elevator down.
A few bouncers were in the lobby downstairs, but upon seeing Mirabella and Cassie, they merely glanced at them without stopping their exit.
In their eyes, these were just two frail individuals, and the only logical explanation was that the matter had already been resolved, and their superiors had released them.
Thus, the two effortlessly walked out of the dark market’s old street.
