Danny was pleased. “Yes, do you know her? Where does she usually hang out in this game? What does she do?”Evelyn Moore said jealously, “So you’ve fallen for another woman.”Danny paused for a moment before continuing. “No, I really have something important to tell her. People’s lives are at stake, Mrs. Gu. I need to find Camille because only she can help with the situation. If you know where she is, please tell me.”Evelyn Moore played with her sexy curls. “You want to know where she is? Fine. You have to kiss me for three minutes.”“Okay!” Danny didn’t care if this Ms. Gu turned out to be a bad person in real life.Given the eight families' wealth, she’d be well-maintained regardless of her genetics.Three minutes later, their kiss ended, shifting the atmosphere. He couldn’t deny that he was deeply impressed by Mrs. Gu’s skills. “Alright, can you tell me now where Camille is?”Evelyn Moore stroked Danny’s face contentedly. “Handsome, you’re too shy. Not at all like what the rumors c

Camille stared at Danny without blinking, her eyes wide and shimmering with a storm of shock and raw vulnerability. A twist of fear and hope flickered within her gaze; she had never imagined that someone she had met only twice in the virtual game realm could so effortlessly unravel the secrets of her heart."How did you do that?" Camille whispered, awestruck.For as long as she could remember, a knot of anxiety formed in her chest at the thought of sharing her true feelings. She yearned for someone who could sense her unspoken pain—for someone to see past her quietness, to understand the hidden loneliness that weighed heavily inside her, without her having to break her silence.Danny smiled. Since elementary school, he had studied psychology. Naturally, this allowed him to see right through this little girl.From a psychological standpoint, someone who chose to play video games rather than spend time in the real world was often unhappy in the real world. They could only find solace in

Right now, in a building taller than the one Park Chan-young is in, Danny is wielding a futuristic high-tech rifle owned by only eight major families.He’s aiming at Park Yi-an’s legs. “Park Yi-an, you bastard. I just left South Korea and you kidnapped my mother-in-law from the capital. How dare you lay a finger on my family? How can I possibly let you get away with this?!"Danny is aiming directly at Park Yi-an. He had promised Camille that he wouldn’t kill Park Yi-an, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t hurt him at all.After all, for the Park family, with their highly advanced medical capabilities, getting shot is like getting punched. It’s no big deal.Danny had shot Park Yi-an just two days ago, and he was already walking as if nothing had happened. It annoyed him. Park Yi-an hadn’t suffered enough.Therefore, Danny aimed at Park Yi-an’s leg again and fired another shot.Whizz! The bullet sliced through the air and pierced Park Yi-an’s leg cleanly.“Ah!” Park Yi-an, who was sitting

Park Yi-an believed that Danny must have discovered some secret weakness of Camille’s to force her to help him. If he knew about Camille’s secret, too, his chances of winning her heart would be much higher.“No, Danny didn’t force me. He… he was willing to help me. That’s why I agreed. I’m sorry…”Park Yi-an was curious. “Agreed to help you? Help you with what? Camille, what kind of help do you need? Tell me right now!”Park Yi-an blamed herself. When she had chatted with Camille in the past, she had already realized that she was a little lonely. Yet she had never asked her if she needed help. And now, Danny had beaten her to it.Camille paused for a moment before saying, “Danny promised to take me away from my family and from Monaco before my coming-of-age ceremony.”Park Yi-an was shocked to hear that.She asked in surprise, “You want to leave your family? Why? Why do you have to leave before your 18th coming-of-age ceremony? Isn’t your coming-of-age ceremony supposed to be a happy

“How could this have happened?” Park Yi-an exclaimed, his nerves fraying.He had handpicked the two operatives himself, selecting them from thousands. For an ordinary family, it should have been effortless.Despite the Gastaud family's secrecy, they shouldn’t have failed so swiftly. Worse, the two operatives were missing—likely dead.Was the Gastaud family truly that merciless? It wasn’t just Park Yi-an’s men—Danny’s agents suffered the same fate.Park Yi-an said to Danny, “Camille Castle is peculiar! Suddenly, the cool breeze feels ominous. The lake looks sinister, as if something lurks beneath.”At that moment, a chill swept through. Although the air wasn’t freezing, even Danny felt a penetrating cold.Despite his experience, Danny had never confronted anything like this.Danny paused, wary. With two men lost, caution was essential. He glanced upward—no stars, the moon concealed.Ripple… Ripple… The lake’s surface quivered as the chill wind intensified.Danny looked at Park Yi-an. “
