He thought she was just embarrassed to use the indoor bathroom in their room, but he did not mention it. It was not something to overthink on a night out.

However, when the clock hit zero, and the arena fog started clearing up, she was still not back. Inei frowned as he looked at the revelation. The entire arena turned into a series of three replicated rooms with a person in the middle.

Inei hesitated for a moment as he looked at his screen and the open arena. The shouts from the crowd were loud as the contestants were revealed. Inei wanted to see the beginning of the show, but he was really worried about Emi.

He took a longing look at the arena before leaving the room.

He knew his sister could handle herself. She was, after all, someone from Martial Island. Her strength was high and could beat almost anyone. Even the most experienced guards in Anarkh might not be able to beat her.

Unfortunately, on a night such as this, it was better to err on the cautious side. There were a lot of powerful people from the financial, political and criminal worlds. If she crossed paths with a dangerous person, she might end up in danger.

Therefore, he could not leave her outside in case she got into trouble.

Inei took another glance before he left the room. He would deal with Emi for making him miss the beginning of the event to find her. If she did not insist on leaving, they would be screaming along with the rest of the people.

.....

Moments after he left the room, he found himself looking at a familiar face.

“Shi!” he exclaimed.

“Inei,” The young man walking from the opposite direction said calmly.

The two of them were familiar with each other. While Yuan Haoran was the true owner of Anarkh and its related enterprises, the local businesses in Tokyo were handled by Shi. Therefore, Shi and Inei often met during their meetings.

Their initial meeting was set up by Yuan Haoran because he wanted to reward the Shio family for their loyalty to Jiang Yinuo. However, he could not attend to the business in person, so he left the matters to Shi.

“Excuse me!” Inei said immediately because he did not want to waste time. “I have to find my sister.”

In another situation, he would have spent some time talking to Shi. After all, he wanted to continue doing business with Anarkh and the other businesses linked to Yuan Haoran in Japan. However, he wanted to find his sister more.

In addition, he did not want to miss the games.

However, he could not rush from the hallway. Shi caught his upper arm and stopped him from walking away. Inei turned to look at him with some confusion. Shi’s cold eyes did not give away his thoughts despite his abrupt actions.

“You do not need to worry about Emi. She is alright.” Shi spoke up.

Inei frowned. “How do you know about my sister?”

He was suspicious because he never spoke about his family to outsiders. The precaution had nothing to do with the exposure of Martial Island and the accusation against the Shio family for betraying their roots. He avoided talking about them because of the general danger.

As a fixer, he worked with a lot of bad characters. Yes, most of his work involved normal businesses with a few unsavoury things to handle. However, he often worked with some politicians with secrets and criminals with life in the underworld.

Such people valued anonymity, and they would do anything to remain in the dark. Unfortunately, Inei’s work involved knowing the dark secrets they wanted to keep from the public, even from their colleagues and families.

How could he fix what he did not know?

But, these people did not want Inei to have something hanging over their heads. If he knew something about them, he might turn against them later and blackmail them. So, they always tried to gather as much information as possible about Inei.

Fortunately, they got nothing because Martial Island had a tight lock on their residents’ information. And Inei knew better than to talk about his personal affairs to his dangerous clients. He was a little less cautious when dealing with Yuan Haoran.

If the Demon King wanted to destroy someone, he would just kill them before they knew what was happening. Plus, Yuan Haoran already knew everything about him.

Still, he did not believe that Shi had access to the information from the man.

Inei never wanted to endanger his family because of his job, especially when they were persona non grata with the Martial Island people. Therefore, he felt afraid of the possibility that his sister’s details were out there.

Shi did not have any reaction to the question. “As I said, she is fine. She just met a friend and got caught up in the moment.”

Inei narrowed his gorgeous eyes as he looked at the younger man with suspicion. “How do you know that?”

“I am the CEO of this casino resort.” Shi released the arm in his grip. “I can assure you that your sister is safe. If she is not back in five minutes, you can continue to panic.”

“I was not panicking,” Inei said with annoyance.

“Alright. Please enjoy the show.” Shi said flatly.

Inei was frozen for a moment, and before he realised it, Shi was walking away. He felt inexplicably annoyed by the man. When they worked together, he was always cold and robotic. He was as efficient as an automated program and just as interesting.

If Shi were replaced by a robot, no one would know the difference.

But Inei felt it was a bit suspicious for Shi to stop him from going to look for his sister. The cold man was not kind, and he was not interested in making anyone’s life easier. But… Shi never lied or pretended.

If he guaranteed Emi would be back, she would be back.

So, Inei returned to the private room in time to see the dramatic beginning of The Great Escape!
