"Matsuno Yoshika was constantly vigilant of her surroundings.
She felt that Shen Yue was placing too much trust in the cook, Fang. He was one of the Snake Empress's men, why didn't Shen Yue impose some restrictions on their collaboration?
Even without Shen Yue's warning, Matsuno Yoshika stayed on alert for the unexpected, including a possible sudden betrayal by the cook, Fang.
Despite her caution, she failed to notice how the man on the stairs appeared out of nowhere.
The staircase was empty.
There wasn't even a shadow, but in just a blink of an eye, a man materialized as if he sprung from thin air. From his manner, he seemed to hold a higher status than the cook, Fang.
Fang whispered, "Third brother, I want to see the Snake Empress."
Was he the Divine Traveler Grand Protector guarding the 66th floor?
The thought flashed across Shen Yue's mind. Unnoticed by Matsuno Yoshika, he realized that the man on the stairs had suddenly come from the top three floors.
