Chapter 467: To Visit Someone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to the upcoming perfume advertisement shoot, Ning Xi needed to stay for a while in Los Angeles .

Riding on this opportunity, she had something very important to do . . .

She wanted to visit someone .

Ning Xi traveled to St . Bernard City, nearby Los Angeles .

No one would recognize her in such an area so she did not bother to disguise herself or even put on any makeup . She simply changed into a plain and comfortable white t-shirt and jeans .

St . Bernard City had been named the most dangerous city of Country M for five years in a row now, where low-income groups gathered and the city was the main path of smugglers; it was deemed the most violent area in the entire country .

Ning Xi had to pay double the usual fare before the driver was willing to go there . In fact, he only drove till the border of both cities and dared not continue forward . He waited for Ning Xi to get down from the car, then immediately sped off .

Abandoned ruins proliferated the city, where most of the place was filled with short, dilapidated buildings and abandoned landfills . In the dim alleyways, black market dealings were a common sight . . .

However, the entertainment industry there was booming . Even though it was already late at night, it was still very lively, and everywhere were the sights and sounds of drinking, games, and gambling .

The pedestrians on the pavements were mostly muscled men with ferocious-looking tattoos, and they looked viciously at anyone who walked past them . The women, on the other hand, wore as little as possible to display their lithe, sexy bodies, their faces heavily lined with smoky gothic makeup .

When Ning Xi walked into St . Bernard's late at night dressed as innocently as a schoolgirl, she was practically a little white bunny walking among a pack of bloodthirsty wolves .

By the road side, a pair of watchful eyes evaluated this stranger who had suddenly walked into their territory .

In Ning Xi's mouth was a lollipop and she had her earphones on . She walked through the alleys nonchalantly as if she was walking on a normal, safe pavement .

Because of how carefree she looked, she looked like she belonged to the neighbourhood . The eyes that watched her were merely evaluating and no one actually went up to her to find fault .

After all, if she dared appear so late at night like this in St . Bernard, even if she was really just a child, she would definitely not be someone normal . She probably had a lot of strength behind her, and the tiniest of conflicts would turn deadly for whoever took her on .

She walked through a maze of complicated slums, then her view of the area surrounding her started to expand . She was not far from the town center, and the nearer she approached the central region, the more modern it was .

That was where St . Bernard's most respected figure lived .

With only a year apart since she last went there, the changes were not terribly significant . Based on her memory, Ning Xi soon reached a building that stood independently of the others .

This building was surrounded by a thickset jungle, it looks dark, as if it was the witch's palace in a fairytale world .

The building was dark with no lights turned on . Could they be sleeping? Or was the owner not around?

Ning Xi pushed the courtyard gate open to reach the building door and she rang the doorbell . The ringing in the still night was extremely abrupt .

She waited for a while but there was no response at all .

She rang another two times but it was quiet inside and no one opened the door .

Ning Xi scratched her head, then looked at the flower pots under the windows and counted the third pot . Then, she felt for the keys from beneath the third pot .

Haih . . . this standard of hiding the keys . . . really never changed . . .

When she retrieved the keys, Ning Xi unlocked the door to enter .

She found the house lights to switch them on, then walked up and down the entire house to look; indeed, he was not home .

Ning Xi looked at the time on her phone, then sat down on the sofa in the living room . She decided to just wait there until the owner returned .
