Crystal was clever. She could tell that Zanya and Sasha knew each other, so she didn’t joke around.
After hearing Crystal’s comment, Zanya pursed her lips and said, “If you’re not familiar with this place,
you shouldn’t have come. Why find a guide? Matthew, this place is not for people like you. Let me give
you a piece of advice—you should leave immediately. The outside world is filled with danger and a
pampered man who lives a luxurious life like you shouldn’t leave the house.”
Zanya’s friends who were standing behind her burst into laughter.
Matthew frowned slightly and just as he was about to speak, the man next to Zanya walked over with a
smile on his face. “Zanya, meeting an acquaintance is fate. Matthew, it just so happens that I have a few
tickets for the opening ceremony. Would you like to join us?”
The man seemed to be talking to Matthew but his eyes kept glancing at Crystal. It was obvious that his
goal was not to invite Matthew, but Crystal. Just as Matthew was about to refuse, Crystal directly agreed
to his offer. “Okay, we’ll see you at the opening ceremony later.” As soon as she finished speaking,
Crystal took Matthew’s arm and left.
Meanwhile, Zanya was relatively upset. “What are you doing? It’s really hard to get a ticket to the
opening ceremony so why did you invite that b*stard? I feel nauseated just by looking at him. Why did
you invite him?”
The man chuckled and said, “Zanya, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your
friends. Young Master Herman’s partner did something wrong so he kicked her out a moment ago. Right
now, he is lonely so you have to consider his happiness. The girl next to that b*stard is quite a beauty
and it would be great to let Young Master Herman have some fun with her for a few days.”
Hearing this, the young man behind him smiled and nodded in satisfaction. Even though Crystal was not
as beautiful as Sasha and Leanna, she was still stunning and gorgeous enough to be the most beautiful
girl in school. This young man already had many thoughts in mind for Crystal.
Zanya instantly curled her lips into a smile. “Oh—I see. In that case, you should’ve told me earlier. No
problem! Even though she’s from the slums, it’ll be fun to play with her. Young Master Herman, I’m
looking forward to your performance tonight.”
With a delighted smile, Young Master Herman replied, “Don’t worry. Luring an innocent girl like her into
my trap will be a piece of cake.”
Crystal had on sportswear that day and looked pure and innocent, which was why they thought that she
was just a little girl who didn’t know the dangers of the world.
Meanwhile, Matthew asked in confusion, “Miss Harrison, why did you accept their invitation? Those
people definitely don’t have good intentions.”
Crystal chuckled. “Matthew, that’s because you don’t know how exciting the opening ceremony is. Big
shots from all over the world will be gathered here and most importantly, some of the rare treasures in
the black market will be displayed in advance. If you’re looking for something, it’s best to look for it at the
opening ceremony. However, the ceremony is really difficult to enter. If my grandfather was here, we’d
definitely be able to get tickets but I myself don’t have that power. Since those fools are willing to give us
an invitation, there’s no reason not to go.”
After hearing this, Matthew finally understood but he quickly frowned and commented, “If I had known
earlier on, I would’ve insisted on coming with your grandfather. Come to think of it, I almost missed this
opening ceremony.”
Crystal chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all. Later, Matthew glanced at her and solemnly said, “You
have to be extra careful tonight. Those men are up to no good.”
Crystal smiled. “Matthew, do you think I’ll be afraid of them when I have you by my side?”
Matthew was immediately rendered speechless as he thought, Crystal really likes to joke around.
Before long, it was time for the opening ceremony and Crystal led Matthew to the only low-rise building in
the market. When they arrived, the place was already crowded as the opening ceremony of the black
market was a great attraction and entrance tickets were hard to come by.
