Only then did Durin clearly see the woman's face.
She was around twenty years old, with delicate features that were both proper and charming. Her emerald green eyes sparkled with endless tenderness, and her face was slightly flushed, like white skin with a hint of red.
Below the neckline of her long dress, a hint of snow-white cleavage was visible, making one's imagination run wild.
Durin couldn't help but praise her beauty!
But the problem was, in Piltover, where petty capitalism was rampant, how could such a curvaceous and beautiful woman appear in a small alley?
The answer was definitely no; only ugly people belonged with garbage. Beautiful people naturally received certain inherent privileges compared to ordinary people, no matter which world it was.
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Is it a honey trap?!
Durin, who had read countless news reports about such incidents in his previous life, immediately retracted his hand that was about to extend, vigilantly looked around, and then quickly retreated, maintaining a five-meter distance from the woman.
The woman became even more confused by Durin's actions, completely bewildered.
The more Durin thought about it, the more he felt something was off, and the more he became convinced that this was definitely a trap, a honey trap!
At this thought, his momentary sympathy vanished instantly. He turned around without looking back and ran out of the dark alley.
"Sir, sir! Where are you going? Aren't you going to help me anymore?"
Durin heard the continuous shouts from the woman behind him, and her voice, clearly full of vigor, made him quicken his pace considerably.
Only after he had completely left the alley and could no longer hear the woman's shouts did Durin finally breathe a slight sigh of relief and slowly slacken his pace. Fortunately, he was smart and hadn't fallen for the honey trap. That woman just now was so suspicious; it definitely was a honey trap!
Thinking this, Durin secretly praised himself for his quick wit. After composing himself, he didn't dwell on this little incident and continued looking for the small park to earn those six silver lun coins.
Durin had now reached the end of Vocal Avenue, which bordered Regent Street, an undeveloped area primarily consisting of factories.
Walking along this transitional street, Durin only heard the rustling of the summer wind in the trees on both sides, and occasionally, a few alchemical cars brushed past him.
This place was different from the bustling commercial street he had just left. On weekdays, only the workers from the nearby Regent Street factories could add some life to it.
By night, the area became even more deserted.
Soon, Durin found his destination—the small park on Vocal Avenue. It had many stone benches, and although there were streetlights, the light was much dimmer than on the main streets.
Durin walked into a tree-lined path, beginning his search for the adulterous couple who might be here.
It was already dark, and the only sounds in the small park were the rustling of leaves in the wind and his own breathing. As the summer wind blew, Durin felt the place was quite desolate; he couldn't see a single person.
The park's streetlights seemed to be flickering, illuminating Durin's face on and off, making him appear somewhat indistinct.
"Wuwuwu~"
Hmm?
Why is someone crying again, and it's another woman?
Durin jolted, subconsciously thinking it was the homeless woman catching up, but listening closely, this voice didn't sound like the homeless woman. Instead, it sounded more like… one of his targets for this trip, the cheating woman named Daisy?
Durin's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly followed the sound.
Indeed, it wasn't long before Durin saw a frail woman sitting in a gazebo, and that woman was none other than Daisy.
She was curled up on the chair, her eyelids lowered, her hands tightly clutching her knees. Her head rested weakly on her arm, and tears dripped onto her clothes like a leaky faucet.
Daisy was wearing form-fitting blue jeans paired with a simple white T-shirt, but it was well-tailored, accentuating her slender waist.
However, the muscular black man who was supposed to be with her was nowhere to be seen, and coupled with her crying, Durin wondered if the two of them had turned around and started arguing.
But it didn't matter; he wasn't interested in their affairs. All he had to do was beat her up.
But before he beat her, he had to ask about the situation.
So, Durin approached Daisy and asked, "Hey, Daisy, where's that big black guy who was with you? Did you two have a fight?"
"You, who are you? What does my business with him have to do with you?" Daisy first looked up and glanced at Durin, then continued to lower her tear-streaked face, choking out.
"Me? I'm the thug your husband Allen hired. He offered 6 silver lun coins for me to teach you and that black guy a good lesson, so I'm sorry, but if you tell me where that black guy is, I'll just symbolically do a little something, it won't hurt," Durin said indifferently.
"Him?"
The sobbing Daisy slowly raised her head again, but this time, her face was full of smiles. "He's right behind you."
?
?!
His heart trembled, and his feet went cold. Durin suddenly felt a strong sense of danger, a crisis that made goosebumps instantly rise all over his body.
Swoosh—
Almost simultaneously with Daisy's words, Durin keenly heard the sound of some mechanism being triggered behind him, followed by something shooting through the air!
