Shi Man looked at him strangely and said, “Who told you that 1 was going to barge in?”

Sean was stunned for a moment before asking, “Boss, aren’t you planning to rush up and fight to the death?”

Looking at Shi Man’s dignified appearance, it was difficult for Sean not to suspect that Shi Man was planning to go up and fight someone first before capturing a few people to torture them.

Shi Man glared at him and rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry, that’s too troublesome. 1 have an easier way.”

Sean was speechless for a moment, but also a little curious.

Boss only said that it was very troublesome to do that, but she did not say that she could not do that. It seemed that Boss really did not take the Netherworld Pavilion seriously!

The Immaculate stronghold was only in G City and M City. When they arrived in the capital, their power had been greatly weakened. Everything had to develop from scratch.

However, Shi Man still did not care.

Indeed, Boss’s thinking was not something they could compare to!

As soon as Shi Man led Sean and the others into the hall of the Netherworld Pavilion, someone immediately came to welcome them with a smile.

“Sir, Miss, hello. Welcome to the Netherworld Pavilion. I low can I help you?”

Shi Man glanced at the staff indifferently and said, “Store something.”

“Alright, please follow me.” The attendant respectfully gestured for her to follow him. Then, he turned around and walked in front, leading her to the innermost room.

This place was transparent. People were sitting on the sofa in the middle, but they could see the people moving in the black market outside.

The room was only separated from the outside by a few pieces of transparent glass, but Shi Man could still tell at a glance that the glass material was different.

These pieces of glass did not seem to have any confidentiality, but they were actually heavily processed anti-explosive glass. Not only that, but they also had quite good anti-peeking functions.

The person sitting in the room could clearly see the outside, but the people outside could not see the situation inside at all.

Just like the essence of the Netherworld Pavilion, the people outside knew what was going on inside, but they could not pry into all the secrets hidden here.

Perhaps the reason why the Netherworld Pavilion chose to use this material glass when it was established was to tell the guests that they could safely hide their secrets in the pavilion.

Shi Man knew what to do. After glancing at it, she retracted her gaze.

Soon, the attendant brought over the supervisor in charge of receiving guests in the Netherworld Pavilion.

It was a middle-aged man who had already gained weight, but the fierce flesh on his face did not make people feel disgusted. Instead, he had a disturbing shrewdness.

The supervisor walked in and took the initiative to extend a hand to Shi Man. “Hello, Miss. I’m Supervisor Xiao, who’s in charge of receiving you. May I know what valuable items you need to store?”

Ordinary people would undergo layers of encryption when they came to the Netherworld Pavilion to store things. Carrying a safe was already the most ordinary thing. Some people would even hire a mover to carry a large wooden box in.

Last time, a group of people carried in a wooden box that could fit one person. He arranged for it to be in Room 1502 on the top floor of Building C. Until now, no one had come to take it away.

However, it was really rare for someone like Shi Man to say that she wanted to save something empty-handed.

Even the knowledgeable supervisor was a little curious about what she wanted to store.

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Man slowly raised her hand, took off a bracelet from her wrist, and gently placed it on the coffee table in front of her. “This is it. Help me store it. I’ll come and take it away when 1 need it.”

Supervisor Xiao was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Alright, Miss. However, we charge according to the time. If you want to settle the bill in the end, you have to pay a certain amount of security first.”

After saying that, he looked down at the bracelet and said hesitantly, “This item looks like an antique. It should be quite old. If you want to store it, you have to pay 500,000 first. But don’t worry, if your final settlement doesn’t exceed 500,000, we will refund you the excess money and definitely won’t charge you a single cent more.”

Sean was dumbfounded.

What bracelet was so expensive to store! Wasn’t the Netherworld Pavilion asking for a sky-high price just because their boss was young?

However, when Shi Man heard this number, she only raised her eyebrows slightly. Without any hesitation, she took out a bank card from her other pocket and placed it on the table with the bracelet. “Alright, swipe the card. I’ll come back to take it back myself when the time comes.”

“Alright, let’s sign the contract now.” Supervisor Xiao did not expect this young lady to be so generous. His attitude immediately became even more solicitous as he took the contract that had been prepared in advance from the tray of the waiter beside him.

Shi Man hurriedly glanced at it and lowered her head to sign.

This time, she didn’t put on airs. After returning the contract, she took the initiative to shake hands with Supervisor Xiao.

Her fingertips gently touched Supervisor Xiao’s sleeve. Then, she retracted her finger in the blink of an eye without attracting anyone’s attention.

On this trip to the Netherworld Pavilion, they did not find anything. Instead, they spent 500,000. Sean followed behind Shi Man and sighed..
