Although Stiller was somewhat puzzled by Lin Yu's actions, he still accepted the "vacation" arrangement.

After telling Lin Yu all the precautions he could think of, Stiller left.

He really did want to go back and take a look.

Ever since the Despair Train explosion last time, Stiller knew very well... that he should be listed as "missing" within Truth Corporation, and many people, including President Paris, probably thought he was dead.

Considering he still had to leave this world eventually, Stiller hadn't decided yet whether to tell his former superiors and colleagues that he was alive, but...

Even if hiding his identity, he still needed to go back and see.

So after thanking Lin Yu, Stiller directly left.

He headed in the direction of the inner city.

Watching Stiller leave, Lin Yu naturally had nothing to worry about.

This was Stiller's hometown; he definitely wouldn't encounter any mishaps here.

As for Stiller not wanting to come back... that wasn't something Stiller could decide for himself.

It wasn't even something Lin Yu could decide.

For NPCs who had become "summons," "releasing" them was quite troublesome, especially ones like Stiller who were obtained by exploiting the Collar bug.

Stiller definitely understood this himself.

"Alright, let him have his vacation, we should get to work too!"

Lin Yu watched Stiller leave, then summoned his other two summons and began walking in the direction Stiller had pointed out to him.

Hannah and Old Zheng, the two accessories, appeared on Lin Yu's shoulders.

"Ribbit! This is... Sleepless City!"

"Whoa, we're at Stiller's hometown... Hey, where's Little Sti?"

Old Zheng's puzzled voice sounded, and Lin Yu shrugged.

"I gave him a vacation, let him go visit relatives."

Old Zheng was astonished, "You can just let him go like that? He's a local snake here! In this place, isn't Stiller much more useful than the two of us?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "But he's also a big target. Stiller is somewhat a high-ranking executive in a major corporation and just went missing—bringing him along is too conspicuous. What I'm about to do next is an assassination mission."

"Moreover, with the level the system currently recognizes me as, the target it wants me to assassinate is definitely someone extraordinary... Sleepless City only has three major corporations and five great noble families. If they happen to be related to Stiller in some way, dealing with it would be troublesome."

Old Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement, "I never thought you'd be so considerate of Little Sti's feelings, afraid he'd be in a difficult position, right?"

After all, due to their strong master-subordinate relationship, Stiller couldn't defy Lin Yu. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hannah was also very happy, "Ribbit! Director is definitely worth following! He's just so considerate!"

Lin Yu pursed his lips.

"I'm not that noble. I just made a 'trade-off.' If I want Stiller, who's a very useful assistant for me, to continue serving me wholeheartedly in other dungeons, then I need to win him over a bit in this dungeon."

Although Hannah and Old Zheng were also his summons, Lin Yu didn't avoid saying these things at all.

Even though his awakened Class was Fraudster, Lin Yu was usually quite straightforward when dealing with people.

Only in special circumstances would he choose to politely tell some white lies.

Lin Yu walked along the damp, dark street and soon, as Stiller had said, found a downward staircase.

Below the staircase was a tightly closed iron door. In front of the iron door hung a rusted, mottled signboard. The outline of the signboard was a pig's head smoking a pipe and wearing a top hat, with light strips spelling out the words "Magic Boar Bar."

But those light strips weren't lit—it looked less like they were turned off and more like they were broken, never to light up again.

This made Lin Yu somewhat doubt whether this place had already closed down, and Stiller didn't know because he hadn't been here for too long.

However, after Lin Yu descended the steps and stood at the door, he could faintly hear noisy sounds leaking through the door crack.

"Knock knock!"

Lin Yu knocked on the door. A few seconds later, the tightly closed iron door opened a crack.

A man who looked very fierce, muscular, and dark-skinned spoke coldly, "Got a membership?"

"No, but I know a member here," Lin Yu said calmly. "I want to see 'Shark,' Shark Shock, George Cresso."

As Lin Yu spoke, the muscular man frowned.

"Shark Shock" was the one who watched over this place; many people knew his nickname.

But those who knew Shark Shock's real name was "George Cresso" were few.

This was naturally told to Lin Yu by Stiller.

So the dark-skinned man with exaggerated muscle mass hesitated for a moment, then opened the door.

"Come in, kid. I'll take you to see Boss Shock."

He said this and opened the door.

Lin Yu slipped inside. The explosive and noisy music hit his eardrums like a stampede of cattle, and the flashing neon lights almost made him dizzy.

Although the "bar" part of Magic Boar Bar was just a front business, it looked like this front business had quite the turnover!

Dangerous elements were dancing wildly and drinking heavily on the dance floor and in the booths, enjoying their own brand of luxury.

The dark-skinned muscular man, wearing a white tank top with two large-caliber pistols holstered at his waist, led Lin Yu through the corridor beside the dance floor.

He took Lin Yu upstairs to a luxurious private room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

Without waiting for a response from inside, the muscular man directly pushed the door open.

Inside, a bald man in a red suit was lying on the sofa. On the table was a half-eaten plate of tomato sausage pasta.

It seemed like... taking a nap after eating?

Lin Yu somewhat admired the other party—being able to sleep in this environment.

Judging from the shark tattoos on his neck and wrist, this was clearly Shark Shock.

The muscular man went over and shook the sleeping man.

"Boss Shock, a guest is here, asking for you by name. He gave your real name."

Shark Shock drowsily opened his eyes and said, "Who the hell is it?"

He looked at Lin Yu standing casually at the private room entrance, shook his head, and climbed up from the sofa.

"Which one are you?"

Lin Yu looked down at Shark Shock and spoke with an air of superiority.

"I can't reveal who introduced me, but I heard you have jobs here, and one of them is a big job you can't find anyone to do."

Lin Yu said this calmly, exuding the demeanor of an expert.

Sure enough, Shark Shock instantly became much more alert.

He stood up and scrutinized Lin Yu again.

"Are you referring to C-35, A-06, or C-77?"

Hearing the other's probing tone, Lin Yu inwardly sighed in relief.

There really was a C-77.

He had gambled on this—betting that the task the system gave him definitely wouldn't be particularly simple.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to accept the commission just yet.

"There are actually three jobs? Then tell me about all of them."
