And then, during the moment when the two were in a silent standoff.

A loud "coo coo coo" sound broke the deadlock.

Two pairs of eyes focused on Ning Qing's stomach.

Ning Qing helplessly raised her hand to touch her stomach. She hadn't eaten a single thing since she arrived here!

It must have been really tough on it!

Qi Shuyun glanced at Ning Qing's stomach with an inscrutable expression.

He spoke softly.

"You can leave now."

Ning Qing gave him a deep look, then turned and walked out of the room.

Walking down the street, I passed a bakery and bought a cake with the last thirty Star Coins in my terminal.

After finishing the cake at the bakery, they continued on their way to their rented room.

Half an hour later, Ning Qing finally reached the dilapidated residential building and climbed to the 5th floor in one go.

When I arrived at the door of the rented house, I saw that the door was wide open.

Ning Qing: Kitten, you didn't close the door yesterday?

System: Yes, there are.

Ning Qing: There are people inside!

At this moment, the people inside the house saw Ning Qing standing at the door.

Several men rushed out, armed with their weapons, and surrounded Ning Qing.

One of the men, who had a scar on his face, glared fiercely at Ning Qing.

"Kid, when are you going to pay back the money you owe?"

Ning Qing: Are these people here to collect debts?

System: Yes, host.

The original owner owed money to an underground casino, which is why he became a young master at the club.

Ning Qing: How much money did the original owner owe them?

System: 2 million Star Coins.

Ning Qing thought back to the small cake she had just bought; if it were on Earth, it would cost about 30 yuan.

If we calculate it that way, then the amount of Star Coins here should be about the same as on Earth!

System: Mm-hmm.

"Hey kid, I'm talking to you, what are you standing there for?"

"Tell me quickly, when are you going to pay me back?"

"Let me tell you, if you don't pay it back for even one day, the interest will accrue for another day. Don't end up not even being able to pay the interest."

One of them struck with ill intent, looking Ning Qing up and down.

"Brother Jin, I think this kid is good-looking. If he can't pay back the money, why don't we just take him back and sell him?"

Upon hearing his underling's suggestion, Scarface's brother Jin looked Ning Qing up and down.

He nodded. "She is indeed quite good-looking."

"Hey kid, if you don't have the money to pay back, come back with us."

"Brother, I guarantee you'll get a good price for it."

Although Alphas don't have the same market value as Omegas, this guy is good-looking. With that kind of appearance, he's sure to fetch a good price!

Ning Qing's expression remained indifferent throughout.

"Give me three more days, and I will definitely return the money to you in three days. Now please leave my house."

The scarred man looked at him with suspicion.

"Are you really going to pay me back in three days?"

Ning Qing: "Yes, three days."

The henchman who had spoken earlier couldn't resist jumping around again.

"Brother Jin, don't trust this kid. He definitely won't be able to pay back the money in three days."

"Why don't we take it back now, so we don't have to make another trip in three days?"

"You'd be better off spending that time playing with a little O."

He even gave a lewd smile as he spoke.

The scarred man already had doubts about Ning Qing's words, and this man's instigation only made things worse.

I think what he said makes sense.

Ning Qing noticed a change in his gaze and knew that he had been persuaded by his subordinates.

So, they preemptively released strong pheromones to suppress the group.
