    The bodyguard nodded and took out his phone to make a call.


    Nash furrowed his brows, showing his confusion.

    At a crossroads not far from the Empire Hotel, Gemma hysterically cried while holding Ryan, who was bleeding profusely. "Ryan... Ryan... Open your eyes and look at me. Open your eyes! You promised to protect me forever! You liar, you big liar!"


    Gemma held Ryan tightly in her arms with tears streaming down her face, blurring her vision. Memories shed through her mind.


    It was her first day in Bint City after graduating from high school and leaving her family. In this unfamiliar city, she was alone and quickly spent all her money. Due to overdue fees, she was kicked out of the hotel.


    She wandered the streets untilte at night before finally sitting on a bench in the park as she tried to contact her family and friends. However, her family had issued a ban on helping her. No one was allowed to assist her.


    She sat on a bench in the park and yed a few rounds of Honor of Kings. She yed as a support character and was matched with the same marksman for three consecutive games.


    LittleRyan Valley was Ryan''s gaming alias.


    GreenieGemma was Gemma''s.


    "Green, are you a girl?" Ryan asked over voice chat.

    When they finally stopped, Ryan asked on the chat interface: [Can I get your contact information?] Gemma agreed.


    They chatted for almost half an hour.


    Gemma: [My phone''s about to die!]


    Ryan: [Then charge it quickly!]


    Gemma: [My power bank is out of battery.]


    Ryan: [Use a wall charger, then!]


    Gemma sent a sighing emoji: [To be honest, I''m homeless now!]
