Chapter 57
Martina wore a seductive Eastern-style dress. Patterns symbolizing blue-and-white waves and seas wrapped around her dress.
She covered her mouth and nose with an open fan. Beyond it, the edges of her eyes shimmered faintly.
Click, clack.
Martina wore high-heeled shoes. The sound quietly echoed.
“Who told you to treat our guests like this?”
Martina spoke to the woman with the eyepatch.
“It... was my own decision. I apologize, Diva.”
The woman with the eyepatch replied with an expressionless face. But I immediately sensed it was a lie. I could tell by the way she dragged her words slightly, carefully selecting what to say.
‘She tried to eliminate me and failed, now she’s just bluffing to save face.’
I knew the truth but didn’t voice it. If I openly challenged their dignity here, I’d have to fight the entire La Vie en Rose gang.
I could handle it, but it wasn’t the best choice. I’d have to clean up dozens of bodies afterward. Causing that kind of trouble would mean I wouldn’t be able to return to the lower district for quite some time. My undercover investigation would be completely compromised.
