Chapter 220
As Marina made her escape from the venue, she couldn’t help but glance back.
Seeing that the little chatterbox hadn’t caught up with her, Marina relaxed a little.
She had never encountered such a talkative boy before
Marina let out a sigh of resignation
She didn’t think about going back anytime soon.
The annual party wasn’t going to start right away
Thus, she decided to step outside and refresh herself before it started.
Marina sought out a quiet corner and indulged herself in playing games,
Upon logging into the game, Marina immediately received an invitation from Tyler.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Marina decided to accept the invitation.
“Captain, aren’t you busy today?” Tyler’s voice resonated with excitement.
He had been online nearly every day, patiently waiting for Marina, but to no avail,
He had started to believe that Marina would never log into the game again.
But today, to his great surprise, the actually came online.
“Yup, I’m feeling a bit bored today. Just trying to kill some time,” Marina replied in a curt tone,
“Alright, let’s form a team, I’ll bring in a few more players,” Tyler swiftly extended invitations to additional players upon hearing Marina’s response.
Marina didn’t decline the proposal.
Each one of them was a professional player.
And Marina was a legend.
They were invincible in the game.
They had been winning consistently throughout the way.
The game progressed so smoothly that Marina eventually grew tired of it.
With her hands tucked nonchalantly in her pockets, Marina quietly followed behind Tyler.
She appeared like a retired old lady, leisurely strolling along
Tyler and his crew were renowned within the game. They had a lot of followers.
So when Tyler and his team showed up in the game, a swarm of fans flocked to watch him.
Many of them planned an ambush.
“Captain, if you are free, come visit us. We all miss you like hell” Tyler trailed closely behind Marina.
As he spoke, he glanced around, keeping an eye out for any potential threats.

When enemies appeared, Tyler would swiftly eliminate them
He didn’t know when Marina would log in again, so he cherished every moment they had together in the game.
He was determined to make sure that no one would ruin her enjoyment of the game.
“Maybe later,” Marina declined the proposal.
She got a lot of things to handle lately.
She needed a thorough investigation of the mysterious organization.
Therefore, she preferred to maintain a certain distance from everyone.
She didn’t want any other people to get involved.
Tyler understood that Marina rejected his proposal
Despite this, he remained elated.
But he couldn’t help feeling a sense of joy that Marina was back in the game and that he had the opportunity to play alongside her again,
Marina didn’t enjoy the game very much. Outside the game, she was kind of sleepy.
Marina’s ears perked up as she caught a faint, familiar voice speaking in hushed tones
“Are you sure you’ve put the thing in?” This female voice sounded a little familiar
Marina halted her actions of switching screens, her focus fully captured by the nearby conversation,
The character in the game, dressed in a set of hot bikini, froze in her movements as well.
Tyler, sensing Marina’s sudden change in focus, stopped his actions in the game as well.
Tyler couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to her outside the game.
“Yeah, everything’s set!” the person confirmed, and then added, “After what I’ve done to the Hernandez family, I can’t stick around in Janeborough anymore. So, don’t you dare break your word!”
Marina had initially intended to remain indifferent, but when she overheard them mentioning the Hernandez family, an involuntary surge of concern prompted her to stand up.
She walked towards the corridor ahead.
“No worries, check it, I have already transferred 1 million dollars to you. You won’t need to worry about money for the rest of your life,” Hannah said, smile at the waiter standing before her.
The boy glanced at his phone
Seeing that he had received the money, the waiter left joyfully.
As a waiter, he would never earn 1 million dollars working in this hotel.
But now he could go back home, purchase a house, and build a family.
Furthermore, he believed that the woman who had placed the order was attractive and that her actions would not cause any harm to Simon.
Therefore, he actually did Simon a favor.
Having that in mind, he left without much guilt.

Marina, leaning against the wall, recognized the woman.
It was Hannah.
She was the goddaughter of Simon’s stepmother.
Marina wondered, “What happened to Simon?
“Did she use drugs on him?”
After the waiter departed, Hannah retrieved cosmetics from her bag.
She meticulously applied her makeup, ensuring it was flawless,
Then, she pulled down her collar.
Her big breasted was revealed.
Marina was speechless.
Now, she was completely convinced that this woman had conspired something against Simon.
As Hannah finished her makeup and readied herself to leave, Marina silently emerged behind her.
Marina knocked her back neck with her palm, causing Hannah’s body to go limp instantly.
Marina caught her falling body and dragged her to a corner.
Marina quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Simon’s number.
However, the moment she picked up her phone, she remembered that she was still in the game.
Tyler was still there waiting for her.
“I must leave now, something has come up,” Marina informed Tyler before logging off.
Before logging off, Marina swiftly raised her hand and fired at the distant tower.
A player with the username “Brilliant” got shot in the head.
Without delay, Tyler turned his gaze back toward the tower’s direction.
A strange look flashed across his eyes.
He did not even notice the person on it.
Turning around, he noticed Marina was no longer there.
A faint glimmer of light flickered in Tyler’s eyes.
Previously, he had believed that the gap between him and Marina had considerably diminished.
Now it seemed it was not the case.
It seemed likely that surpassing her was impossible.
Marina immediately called Simon after finishing the game.
But Simon didn’t answer the call.
Marina furrowed her brows, pondering, “Has he been ensnared in the trap?

She thought that since Hannah was there, Simon must be in the hotel too.
It shouldn’t be hard to could find where he was at the moment.
Marina ended the call abruptly and swiftly tapped her phone screen with her slender fingers a few times.
A moment later.
Marina found Simon’s room number.
Without delay, she headed towards the elevator.
Simon’s room was on the uppermost floor.
Marina stood by the door and rang the doorbell.
However, no one came to open the door.
Marina found it weird. Thus she decided not to waste any time.
Using a data cable, she connected her phone to the door’s password lock.
After a brief moment, she heard a cracking sound.
The door was opened.
