Debra interrupted Erica and Randy''s bickering. "Alright, guys. I''m just thinking. If the opponent has been nning this for a while, these artists in their pocket will be serving some enterprise after they gain fame, right? But we know all the entertainmentpanies in Seamar City. Are there any upstarts?" Randy shook his head. "Nope, at least I haven''t found any. But that''s the weird part. Suddenly, there are all these new arcades and casinos, and even the entertainment industry is flooded with new faces. Whoever is behind this can''t stay invisible." Debra thought for a moment. "I''ll find a chance to check it out."


    "Think twice," Randy cautioned. "That ce is a mixed bag. It''s fine if Drake is behind this. If not..."


    That would mean another force was at y.


    As evening fell, Debra changed into casual clothes and blended into the crowd, making her way to a newly opened arcade.


    The arcade was on the second floor of a mall, surrounded by old residential areas. Despite the location, the ce was bustling.


    As Debra approached the entrance, a strong smell of cigarette smoke hit her. The room was filled with a thick haze, making it hard to see. Patrons with cigarettes dangling from their mouths were intensely ying games, apanied by shouts and curses. Debra held her breath and stepped inside. The smoke was overpowering, and theck of venttion made her feel dizzy.


    Suddenly, a familiar voice caught her attention. "Come on. Let me get it."


    Turning to her side, she saw a man


    in casual clothes, a cap, and sunsses frantically ying a w


    machine. He stood out in the nearly empty section of the arcadenovelbin


    Her interest piqued, she walked over and tapped his shoulder. The man jumped and swallowed when he saw her.


    "Gand?" Debra raised an eyebrow.

    "Not Gand. Wrong person," he stammered, trying to back away.


    But Debra pulled off his sunsses, revealing his face.


    Gand quickly covered his face with his hands. "Wrong person, Mrs. Houston."


    "If we''ve never met before," Debra pointed out, "how do you know who I am?"


    Gand dropped his hands, nervously gesturing. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Houston. I''m Fermin, and Gand is my brother. We look alike, and he talked to me about you."


    "Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Donald Duck when you''re lying?"


    "Why Donald Duck?"


    "Because you quack a lot when you''re panicking."
