The warden who guards the witches

The two of them turned around following the sound and saw a host from a nightclub waving in this direction with a smile on his face.

Aiden's first reaction was that this guy had the wrong person, or he was pretending to be familiar to solicit customers.

But when he saw the other person's face, he felt a little familiar for a moment.

"Oh, after such a long time, I almost didn't recognize you, sir." The other party nodded and bowed in this direction, then glanced at Kyle who was following Aiden, "Are you... bringing friends with you today?"

Aiden thought about it for a moment, and only remembered that he came to Fireworks Alley recently, back in April when he was investigating Veronica's case...

He subconsciously looked up at the nightclub sign behind the man and remembered it all at once.

It was the "Midnight Rose" nightclub. He came here to ask questions when he was looking for clues. It seemed that the guy in front of him was the person who received him at that time.

"It's you, I'm glad you recognized me." Aiden nodded.

It's rare that someone can recognize someone they've met only once after a few months. This person can recognize himself and is quite professional as a receptionist.

"How could I forget you? You are a distinguished guest specially appointed by the boss!" the receptionist said loudly.

Kyle's expression became quite playful: "Warden, you are... very impressive here."

Before Aiden fully understood the situation, the receptionist helped him to show off his face with a "very discerning" voice: "That's natural, this gentleman is a powerful figure in Fireworks Alley!"

The receptionist didn't know the details of the gentleman in front of him, but he still remembered how the boss had warned him not to neglect this man after he left, otherwise... the store might disappear with just a simple move of his fingers.

Kyle's eyes widened slightly. He looked back and forth and found that this nightclub was already a rather prestigious store in Fireworks Alley. To be treated as a VIP by this store... Could it be that the warden was hiding something deep inside? A local snake?

But Aiden was confused at the moment.

When did I become a big shot in Fireworks Alley? I just came over and asked a few questions...

But he quickly realized that it was probably Mayfair's letter of introduction that made the nightclub owner mistakenly think that he had something to do with the succubus.

"Your boss misunderstood, I just borrowed a letter of introduction." Aiden tried to explain.

However, the receptionist didn't listen at all. Based on his many years of reception experience, those who always show off and brag crazily and want to put all their status and connections on their foreheads are often upstarts with little foundation.

On the contrary, it is the bosses who hide their merits and reputations deeply, and those who brush it off as soon as they are praised and insist on making a fortune in silence.

So he nodded with a smile on his face and said "Okay, okay", while welcoming the distinguished guests in front of him into the store with an increasingly enthusiastic attitude: "Would you two come and sit down today? Don't worry, you can sit wherever you want, it's free! We The best girl is available right now..."

"No, we still have business to do." Aiden waved his hand to refuse and walked away.

"That's it. Then be sure to come and sit down when you have time!" The receptionist leaned behind him.

"Warden, I didn't expect you to have such a status in a place like this." Kyle followed Aiden, with awe written all over his face.

"They misunderstood. I was just here to investigate the case..." Aiden tried to explain.

"Oh, 'investigation'!" Kyle nodded with understanding. At the same time, he was thinking about what kind of novel method was this, playing a detective game with the bartender?

Aiden glanced at this guy's expression and immediately realized that the misunderstanding had not been resolved at all. Just when he was about to explain further, Kyle suddenly straightened his face and looked up ahead: "Here he comes!"

Aiden immediately realized that the wanted criminal Kyle mentioned had appeared, and followed his line of sight and looked over: "Which one?"

"The man in the peaked cap." Kyle said in a low voice. Aiden felt that this guy had rarely been serious for a moment since they met.

Aiden fixed his gaze on the person Kyle mentioned, but could not see any clues. The lights in Fireworks Alley were very dim, and it was difficult to see the skin color and face clearly from this distance.

"I can't see clearly," Aiden said.

"It doesn't matter, I'm sure. Just in case, let's keep an eye on him first, and we can catch him later." Kyle grinned.

…

A few minutes later, in a house deep in a narrow alley, a woman with heavy makeup led the guest into the room on the second floor, closed the door behind the guest, and went over to close the curtains.

"Pay first." The woman asked for money.

In autonomous prefectures, the state government allows registered and registered shops to engage in some special entertainment businesses, but these shops not only have to pay relatively high taxes, but also must undergo strict inspections on a regular basis. Therefore, there are many stores and "self-employed operators" in this field who have not reported to the local area and are operating illegally.

Since it is an illegal operation, it is naturally not protected by the law. Therefore, these operators always have to worry about being defaulted by customers, especially for operators who do not have gang protection or spend a lot of money to maintain thugs.

"Don't worry, as long as you let me enjoy it, the tip will be fine." The guest smiled and took out a gold coin from his pocket.

"This..." The woman's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously stared at the gold coins.

The guest raised the gold coin to the height of his face, and the woman's eyes followed the gold coin.

At this time, the guest took the gold coin into his hand, looked into the woman's eyes, and smiled meaningfully.

The woman caught the customer's eye and subconsciously put on a flattering smile when she thought about the considerable income she could get today.

She was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a red light in the customer's eyes.

The woman suddenly felt a tingling sensation passing through her body and her head became dizzy as if it was soaked in warm water.

"Come here," the customer said in a low voice.

The woman felt that she could not resist the other party's charming voice at all and walked towards the customer in a trance.

The customer put his hand on the woman's shoulder, put his face close to the woman's neck, and opened his mouth to reveal his fangs.

A whistle with a hint of teasing suddenly sounded and echoed in the room.

The customer was startled and looked up at the source of the sound. He found that the curtains had been opened again at some point. A young man in a tuxedo and monocle was sitting on the window sill with his legs crossed, staring at this side with interest.

"I know it's rude to disturb others when they're having a meal..." Kyle stared at the guest and raised his hand to push his glasses, "But if you look for something to eat here, it will cause trouble for others."
