Chapter 81. Lily Gomes

Chapter 81: 81. Lily Gomes

"You have one chance to find the Queen," a girl said while placing three cards on the table.

Tyler White extended his hand and touched her hand, then quickly retracted it. "Sorry, instead of the Queen, I touched the princess," Tyler said.

The girl opposite him blushed. The man behind Tyler nudged him.

"Sorry, habit," Tyler said, about to take the card. The girl moved her feet under the table and nudged Tyler three times. Tyler took the third card. It was the Queen of Hearts.

"Oh, it’s my loss," the girl smiled and gave him 100 Lydia that was placed as a bet.

"It’s alright. The drinks are on me," the man behind Tyler nudged him again.

Tyler coughed and said, "Huh... Actually, I’m here for some information."

The girl quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Follow me into that room."

Tyler and the man followed the girl. The man’s name was Yi-Han, an old disciple and Tyler’s new neighbour. He had brought Tyler to this place to acquire some information.

"I want to know about recovering meridians," Tyler said.

The girl paused for a second and said, "What about the method in the sect?"

"I saw it. Too brutal. Sacrificing mortals and extracting their aptitude. I want alternative methods that are less brutal," Tyler said.

"We don’t have these methods, but we do have information on who might have them. Elder Hai from the Fishing Department," the girl said.

"Everyone knows he went missing in Level 3 fishery," Yi-Han said.

The girl nodded. "True. But you can try asking his descendants. Then there is Lily Gomes."

"Ah... Her?" Yi-Han’s face changed.

The girl smiled and said, "Yeah... But it’s not easy to get it from her. All we can give is just information."

Tyler thanked her and paid the price. The girl slipped a piece of paper with her address into Tyler’s hand.

Yi-Han looked at him with envy. Tyler ignored him and kept the paper slip.

"Let’s ask Elder Hai’s descendants first. Hopefully, you can get it from them," Yi-Han suggested.

"Why are you afraid of Lily Gomes?" Tyler asked in confusion.

"Don’t ask. If you see her, avoid her," Yi-Han advised.

**Half a Day Later...**

"Oh no... Elder Hai’s descendants are too much. They’re asking us to go to the third-level fisheries to find clues about Elder Hai," Yi-Han said, gnashing his teeth.

"So our only option is Lily Gomes," Tyler said.

"Not ours, yours. How about this...? I will guide you to where Lily Gomes is. You deal with her alone," Yi-Han suggested.

"What is wrong with her?" Tyler asked suspiciously.

"You will understand. Lily Gomes works in the Investigation Department, which is under Law Enforcement," Yi-Han said and refused to say more.

Tyler and Yi-Han made their way through the sect, heading towards the area where Lily Gomes was known to reside. Yi-Han’s reluctance to provide more details about Lily only increased Tyler’s apprehension.

Eventually, they reached a nondescript building, somewhat isolated from the rest of the sect’s bustling areas. Yi-Han stopped and pointed. "That’s where you’ll find Lily Gomes. Good luck, Tyler. You’ll need it."

Tyler took a deep breath and approached the building. He knocked on the door, and after a moment, it creaked open. A woman looked at Tyler.

"Lily Gomes?" Tyler asked.

"Huh? What happened? Did that b*tch do something again?" Her response baffled Tyler.

"Huh... No... I’m here to find Lily Gomes for some other things," Tyler explained.

The woman looked at Tyler suspiciously and murmured, "Hmmm... Not some victim... how rare."

"Excuse me?" Tyler asked, even more confused.

"Huh... She always stays in her office. You can find her there," the woman said, handing a card to Tyler. It was a business card for Lily Gomes.

[Lily Gomes,

Consulting D̶e̶f̶e̶c̶t̶i̶v̶e̶ Detective,

32D, Boiler Street]

The card was handwritten. Tyler sighed, wondering if he would regret searching for Lily Gomes.

When Tyler returned, Yi-Han was nowhere to be found. He didn’t worry much, as he knew Yi-Han had other matters to attend to. With a free day ahead of him, Tyler decided to visit Lily at her work and observe her a little.

Tyler reached Pleasure Street, a street that lived up to its name. He saw many beautiful women of different ages wearing makeup and beautiful clothes, standing inside glass displays and showing off their beauty.

He was quite shocked to see many fox-eared and cat-eared girls, complete with tails. Even in his previous world, such beastkins were nearly extinct. But here, they were abundant and incredibly adorable and cute.

Many men were eagerly counting their Lydia just to select one.

Tyler ignored the invitations of the tempting women and walked past the street. He asked some people for directions and they pointed out where Lily Gomes was. He finally found her.

A girl was walking beside the walls with suspicious behaviour. She was wearing a dress that Tyler had never seen before. The dress featured a high collar and was made from brown and beige fabric, with a fitted bodice, a high-waisted skirt with gathered layers, and a matching capelet and deerstalker hat.

Beside her was a young boy with a worried expression.

"My instincts are telling me that there is something wrong with this building," Lily Gomes said.

"But why?" the boy asked.

"That’s the exact question I would ask your mom if they ever told me that you were adopted," Lily replied.

"Wait? I’m adopted?" the boy panicked.

"Nope... No one would choose you, Omar," Lily said. Omar sighed in relief when he heard that he was not adopted. His brain cells automatically ignored the other part of the conversation.

Tyler was amused by their interaction. It seemed Omar was Lily’s assistant.

"Hmm... Let me peek into this hole," Lily said, looking inside a small hole in the wall.

"Oh my Sea God..." Lily backed off in Panic.

"What did you see?" Omar asked.

Lily smiled mischievously inside but kept a serious face outside and said, "Look at yourself."

"Ahhh...." Omar froze in shock.

"Yeah I forgot that you are a virgin and yeah I just saw an whole crack of an a**. I Just don’t wanna suffer alone." She murmured.

Tyler just turned around; he doesn’t want to have any interaction with these people.

Suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder. He tried to shake it off but the grip was so strong.

"You have been stalking me for minutes. Do I know you?" Lily Gomes asked. Behind her Omar is still in a dazed state following her absentmindedly.

"I followed the wrong person, I guess." Tyler tried to explain.

"Oh. You must be one of my fans. Well... I understand, I understand." Lily Gomes nodded her head and then asked, "Can you Help me with something?"

"Anything, other than peeking at that hole." Tyler said.

"Tsk." Lily clicked her tongue.

"Why do you look disappointed? Look, I am not your fan. I am here to ask you about something." Tyler explained.

"Oh... But can you wait till I finish my Job. We can speak later." Lily said.

Tyler nodded. He followed them.

Lily Gomes then dragged the dazed Omar and knocked the door of the house they just peaked.

Two women almost naked opened the room, they looked at Lily, Tyler and Omar then said, "Only girls are allowed inside."

Omar’s eyes even became hollow, ’Did I see them?’

"I am here to investigate a knife." When Lily said that one of the girls flinched for a second while the other stayed calm. Lily noticed that.

"We don’t understand."

"Let us in. I will explain." Lily said.

"Not today." They closed the door with a slam.

"Hehehe.... There is definitely something wrong with these people. Omar stays here and watches them both. Inform me if they do something." She instructed Omar before leaving with Tyler. Omar snapped back to reality when she ordered.

"A man suffered from insane loss of vitality and died. I took the task of investigating it. But these women seem to not be interested in men." She said as she observed Tyler.

"No Aura fluctuation. Certainly a newbie. What is your name?" Lily Asked.

"My name is White."

"Probably a fake name. Because your mouth moved differently before you forcefully said white. But you didn’t even hesitate when saying that which means either you used this name a lot of times before or this is half of your name or probably both. With the style of the name, it is Probably your Surname." Lily analysed and said.

Tyler’s eyes twitched. He looked at her in disbelief. He felt like the girl changed into a different person.

"Oh... Why are you on Pleasure Street? Don’t casually go with those girls. They will suck your soul out." Lily warned. For some reason Tyler felt she turned back into the girl who peeped at the hole.

"Let me guess they are gonna suck out through – ", Tyler said.

"Don’t be ridiculous, Mr. white." She paused for a moment and said "... You have to pay extra for that."
