Chapter 456:
Joanna comforted Susanna, who was feeling scared. Joanna herself remained serene, showing no signs of fear.
Norah remembered a day from the past. She had just left the Carters’ and Joanna had picked her up for their
Glamour Club outing when they ran into a bit of chaos. Back then, Joanna had trembled as someone battered the
door, but now, she was fearless.
Joanna had grown stronger and more resilient thanks to the training. Duncan, her coach, had really helped. She
reassured Susanna with a gentle pat on the shoulder.
“The Glamour Club’s doors are very strong. There’s no need to worry.”
Norah and Alice, on the other hand, were completely relaxed, enjoying their drinks.
The crowd at the door had thinned, yet a few persisted, guarding the entrance and pleading for it to be opened.
Susanna, still naive to the ways of wicked people, occasionally felt tempted to let them in.
“There aren’t many out there. Just open the door. My bodyguards are still outside; it will be fine.”
Joanna shook her head with a sigh.

“Susanna, you can't afford to be soft when you're out in the future. It could get you killed.”
She pointed to her own unhealed wound.

“Look, I'm still injured. Don’t trust people so easily.”
Joanna had learned her lesson the hard way. She wouldn't make the smistake twice.
“Don’t cany closer. Don’t kill me. Please, no...”
“Oh, God..."
“Please, don't kill...”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
By the private room door, a man with a crew cut and a gun fired three rapid shots, silencing the pleading voices
instantly. The victims’ eyes widened in disbelief as they fell.
“The people in that private room are so cruel,” the crew-cut man remarked, his voice dripping with disdain. He
toyed with the pistol in his hand, a vivid green dragon tattoo writhing on his arm as he spoke.
“Just three folks left outside, and they can’t even be bothered to let them in. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such selfish people
deserve to die, don’t you think?”
He turned to question the one-eyed man standing behind him, his gaze intense.
“Tonight, we revel one last time. We need to pull more into the abyss with us. Here in the Glamour Club, we hold
the reins of fate.”
A dark presence seemed to radiate from the one-eyed man. His sole eye sparkled ominously as he stared at the
closed door of the private room and strode forward.
“It's a waste of time,” he muttered.
The crew-cut man chuckled at his companion’s grim determination.
“They hold their lives dear, so let's snatch that away from them. Isn't it delightful to watch them perish in
despair?”

His words sparked a glint of interest in the one-eyed man’s expression. Pausing, he commanded, “Blast that lock
off.”
After three gunshots shattered the silence and the begging and pounding on the door ceased abruptly, the
occupants of the private room must have realized what had happened outside.
Then, unexpectedly, two more gunshots rang out. The door to the private room flew open, revealing two figures
silhouetted against the backlight.
“Look at all these beautiful girls! What a treat,” exclaimed one intruder.
The crew-cut man’s eyes widened as he surveyed the room. The first woman he noticed approached the door;
her beauty was stunning, capturing his attention completely. Her delicate features, curly eyelashes, and red lips
seemed to pull all the light toward her.
Opposite her stood a blonde foreigner with striking blue eyes, her pretty face causing him to catch his breath. He
hadn’t yet had the pleasure of such company.
Alongside her sat two other women—one exuding a sweet, cute aura, and the other radiating a sunny, cheerful
energy. Each of them had her own unique charm, but it was the adorable one who truly stood out. She seemed
almost like a living doll, her innocent allure tempting anyone who saw her to reach out and embrace her.
