Viare felt frustrated at missing an opportunity to get closer to the truth, but also relieved. Even for a skilled knight like Tonyo, taking down someone from an assassination organization alone would be dangerous.
“I’m sorry, Lady.”
“It’s not your fault, Tonyo.”
Reassuring Tonyo, who was blaming himself, Viare suddenly looked around, puzzled, and asked, “Tonyo, do you know where we are?”
Realizing their location, Tonyo looked at a brightly lit area and responded, “It seems we are in the casino district.”
‘Maybe he went in there.’
Viare followed his gaze to a building, a towering casino in a secluded area.
“The man earlier had a unique grassy scent on him.”
“Then he might be involved with forbidden drugs.”
Nodding at Tonyo’s words, Viare gazed at the glittering casino sign. Working at Cheylo Trading Company, she had talked with traders who detailed unfamiliar cultures to her.
‘I never thought that knowledge would be helpful…’
“You’re trained, Tonyo. Can you find him?”
“Yes, I’ll definitely find him.”
The casino interior was as splendid as a duke’s mansion, filled with opulent gold moldings and chandeliers. Searching for someone by scent alone was not easy, so Viare had been visiting the casino for several days.
Finding someone by scent alone was a challenging task, so Viare had been visiting the casino for several days.
The man with the cufflink, who seemed involved with prohibited drugs, could have been reported to the military police. However, if he were to be apprehended before a conversation, it would all be for naught.
Viare, to avoid suspicion from others, joined their poker games while wearing a mask. She never imagined she’d end up playing poker in a casino.
Throughout the game, unable to detect any distinctive grassy scent, she bit her lip in frustration. Then, Tonyo approached her, looking somewhat surprised at the chips she had won in the poker game.
“Your skills seem to be improving.”
“I didn’t know I had such talent.”
While saying this, Viare whispered to Tonyo, “So, any suspects?”
Tonyo gestured towards the direction of the suspect he found.
“The man at nine o’clock.”
Although finding someone by smell was difficult, trained Tonyo could have his own methods.
Elated, Viare smiled satisfyingly and said, “Let’s go check it out.”
Approaching the man at the Hold’em table, Viare felt increasingly confident as she got closer. The man was deeply imbued with a unique grassy scent.
Smiling, Viare offered him a game. “How about a game of Hold’em with me?”
“The odds are fifty-fifty, so it should be fair.”
Hold’em, while involving high strategy, also required some luck.
“Why should I play a game with a young nobody?”
The man, with bleary eyes, looked at Viare, seemingly intoxicated.
Viare pointed to the chips Tonyo was holding and said to the man, “If you win, I’ll give you all these chips.”
“All of them?” the man asked.
“You seemed to have lost a lot in the previous game.”
“Shut up, what do you know about it?”
“That’s why you should play with me.”
Unknowingly, the man was stepping into a viper’s nest.

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
