Hearing Gabriel's name, Alice at first wanted to ask how she knew it, but then she realized that ever since he joined the Adventurer Guild and later left, his name had been everywhere. People were bound to recognize it.

Skills could be seen. Levels could be compared. But information, especially truthful information, was something that could decide life and death long before blades ever crossed.
Alice stared at Lin Xueyi for a long moment.
The warehouse was quiet, unnaturally so. Lin Xueyi held her gaze without flinching, clearly prepared for either outcome.
