Seeing Robins angry expression , Kelsey immediately apologized , Im sorry , sir .
I got carried away and said things I shouldnt have .
I shouldnt have shared my familys misfortune .
It was very rude of me .
Robin looked at Kelseys apologetic look .
He sensed that she was a beautiful , sincere young woman with good manners .
Are you a native ? Have you ever left the island ? he asked .
Kelsey shyly nodded , No , Ive always lived here with my parents .
Our family makes a living by selling food at the night market .
I remember when I was very young , my father said our business was doing well , and he wanted to save up a lot of money to send me to school .
But that good life was shattered five years ago .
During one of the major market inspections , my parents passed away , and our family was fined a large amount of money .
The money we had saved was taken away , and I was left alone at home .
Luckily , I finished high school here on the island , and just as I was looking for a job , Duskhaven Hotel was hiring .
The hotel chose me .
I found a job here and can support myself .
Compared to many other native residents on the island , Im lucky .
All of this is because of the money my parents earned earlier , which allowed me to study.
Robin noticed a lingering sadness beneath Kelseys bright expression .
He sighed , realizing that every life carries its own joys and sorrows .
Kelsey , do you know the stall owner from Elodies Lasagna ? Kelsey nodded .
Yes , we live near each other .
Years ago , they and my parents used to run stalls together .
Robin suddenly stopped in his tracks .
Oh , what a coincidence ! Kelsey , noticing Robins surprised expression , asked , Sir , do you know Ambrose and the others ? Robin nodded but then shook his head , No , its not me Its someone I knew from the past who knows them .
1/4 15:18 Thu , Jan 30 of o Kelsey knew what he was looking for and pointed ahead , Sir , the stall is at the far end of the food street .
Youll need to walk to the southern part of Coral Street to see it .
Three years ago , our stalls were right next to theirs .

Crash ! Suddenly , a chaotic clatter echoed through the air .
A wave of panic swept through the market , disrupting the otherwise warm and harmonious atmosphere .
The scene unfolding before them stunned the shoppers .
Stall owners frantically pushed their carts , fleeing in all directions .
Some hadnt even managed to push their carts away before a pair of fierce looking enforcers wielding iron rods overturned them .
The Enforcement Team had mobilized in full force .
Armed and organized , they stormed the night market in a surprise raid .
Seeing this , Robin froze .
This was all too familiar .
How was it that no matter where he went , he kept running into these kinds of problems ? It was truly bizarre ! Kelsey , pulling at Robins sleeve , whispered nervously , Sir , this is very unfortunate .
We should leave quickly .
Some big shot might have arrived on the island , and the Market Regulation Department is likely preparing for a large scale crackdown on the night market .
Robin looked around at the scattered food and overturned stalls , shaking his head .
The Enforcement Teams motorcycle squad screeched toward them .
Dozens of officers , wielding electric batons , chased after the fleeing stall owners .
In less than ten minutes the night market was in ruins 2/4 15:18 Thu , Jan 30 Robin , still eyeing the ruined food street , looked at the distant end , trying to spot Elodies Lasagna stall.
I want to see Elodies Lasagna .
Oh , you only told me half the story where is Elodie now ? he asked .
Kelsey stiffened .
Elodie , she passed away two years ago Robin froze .
Shes gone ? Was it from an illness ? No , Kelsey replied , gazing at the scattered food ingredients on the ground .
It wasntan illness .
I it was ….
She faltered , unable to continue .
Fear flashed in her eyes as she looked toward the enforcement officers who were still smashing and looting .
Sir ! Kelseys eyes were filled with tears .
I I dont know Robin , seeing the terror in her eyes , pointed at the officers , Did her death have something to do with them ? Kelsey nodded slightly .
I only heard my parents talk about it .
Elodies death is connected to the daughter of the director of the Market Regulation Department .
Robins face darkened , his voice icy as he commanded , Tell me everything you know ! Kelsey jumped , hesitating for a long moment before speaking in a lowered voice .
Ambrose and Dahlia met a benefactor once , someone who seems to be from Draconia .
This Draconian gave Elodie a pair of Emberleaf Fans , which are worth a fortune .
One day , by chance , Cuthberts daughter saw the fans , and thats when … So what happened ?! Robin barked , his voice full of fury .
Kelsey , terrified , dropped to the ground .
Anton quickly stepped forward to help her up .
Kelsey , tears streaming down her face , sobbed , Sir , did I say something wrong ? Robin realized he had lost control and scared her .
Anton apologized , Im sorry , Ms.
Kelsey .
He wasnt frustrated with you , but with the situation regarding Elodie .
Can you take us to their house ? Kelsey glanced at Robin , her face still tense with fear , then pointed to a nearby row of stalls .
