Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Hattie’s eyes were filled with sincerity. 

The eyes of someone like her couldn’t be deceiving, so Melody was relieved. 

Before this, she was hesitating whether she should reveal this to Hattie. She was worried Hattie was also working for Yolanda.. However, from Hattie’s attitude now, Melody could tell Hattie was sincerely kind to her grandmother. Therefore, she was relieved to leave this job to Hattie. 

“It’s just that…” Melody said. “There’s suddenly one person missing at home. How are we going to explain this to Grandma?” 

“Don’t worry about that. Mrs. Maria always felt that this maid was lazy and didn’t like her very much. I’ll tell Mrs. Maria that Ive fired that maid. As for Mrs. Fox… Hattie looked troubled. 

Melody chuckled and said, “You don’t have to worry about Yolanda the most. She’s afraid of being discovered, to begin with, so she usually doesn’t meet this maid. Didn’t you realize that their communication is all on the phone? If I take over this phone, she won’t notice even if this person disappears for a year! 

“Good. So where are we going now?” Hattie asked. 

“Of course, we’re going to buy incense! Aren’t we here to buy incense? Melody blinked slyly. 

She had to put on a full show. Since she said she would buy incense, she would buy it for real. 

However, Hattie went to buy the incense herself, while Melody followed the information on the maid’s phone and found. where Yolanda bought the mercury sulfide. 

When she arrived at the destination, Melody realized it was a market in the suburbs. 

Melody walked around the market several times before finally finding a hidden passageway connected to a black market. 

However, not everyone could enter this black market. 

Melody was about to enter when the guard stopped her. “Do you have a pass?” 

“A pass. Melody hesitated before saying, “I’m sorry, a friend recommended me. This is my first time here, so I don’t know what pass it is. May I know how to get a pass?” 

When he heard that Melody did not have a pass, the guard immediately said with a dark expression, “Go, go, go! What are you doing here, kid? This is not a place you can enter. Hurry up and leave!” 

Melody staggered and almost fell on her face when the guard pushed her. 

At this moment, an old man and a young man walked out. 

The young man said proudly, “We’re so lucky today! I can’t believe we used 100 dollars to buy this priceless ancient coin! Grandpa, do you think we’re lucky today?” 

“Yeah, not bad…“. The old man looked at the ancient coin and put it into his pocket like a treasure. 

Melody quickly glanced around and followed the two of them. 

She called out politely, “Gentlemen… 

Hearing Melody’s voice, the two of them turned around warily. 

The young man asked with an unfriendly expression, “Who are you? What do you want?”

Melody did not beat around, the bush and said, “Coincidentally, saw the ancient coin you got just now. I happen to have done some research on antiques. This ancient coin of yours is take 

Their expressions instantly darkened. 

The young man directly scolded, “What do you know! My grandfather used to be an employee of Pearly Antiques. Even if I were wrong, he wouldn’t be wrong?” 

Pearly Antiques? Isn’t it the antique shop Ken wanted but ended up in Ullric’s hands in my previous life? Melody quickly came back to her senses. She shrugged and said provocatively, “Since you don’t believe me and insist on being scammed. I have no choice… I’m leaving If I had known you would scrild me, I wouldn’t have wasted time reminding you” 

As soon as Melody said this, the two of them immediately wavered. 

The old man took out his presbyopia glasses and examined the coin. 

He looked at it and found traces of it being made old. 

“It’s fake” the old man said. 

“What Grandpa, are you sure?” 

The two of them chattered for a while and finally confirmed that they had been deceiveil 

“Ridiculous! How dare they lie to us? I’m going to settle the scont with them? With that, the young man was about to walk in. 

“Wait. Melody stopped him and said. “I helped you, but you don’t even thank me?” 

The young man stopped and looked at the old man, who remained silent for two seconds before saying slowly. “Young lady, you want to enter but have no pass, right?” 

Melody nodded and said half–truthfully, “I know a little about aniques and have some spare money on me. I want to go in and try my luck to earn some pocket money. I wonder if you can lend me your pas 

“Sure.” The old man was not stingy. He only said, “But you have to return it to me. It’s not easy to buy this pass even if you have money. We spent a lot of effort to get two.” 

“No problem” Melody agreed and entered the black market with the young man. 

Before this, the young man had even given her a mask. 

He said. “Those inside won’t show their true faces. You’d better do the same 

Melody did not know the rules at all. She hurriedly nodded and hanked him. Thank you 

“You’re welcome. I’m just returning the favor. The man shrugged and led the way in. 

After entering, Melody was surprised to discover that this was not just a simple black market, but a very prosperous street. 

There were countless stalls on both sides of the street. The stalls old things that were prohibited from being sold in the market. Some people even set stalls saying people could hire then as assassins. 

At this moment, even Melody, who had lived once, could not help but stand there in shock. 

The young man sneered and said, “What an inexperienced kid! Alright, return the card to me and look for your treasure. By the way, let me give you a suggestion. Don’t reveal your identity to anyone or take off your mask. Otherwise, you won’t have a good ending” 

After saying that, the young man took the pass from her hand and left. 

Melody quickly recovered from her shock and began to look for a stall to buy mercury sulfide. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

However, the stalls selling mercury sulfide were everywhere. 

Just as Melody did not know how to find the stall that Yolanda ofen went to, she heard a familiar female voice. “You’re too black–hearted! The last time I came to buy it, it wasn’t at this price. You’ve increased it by ten times!” 

Melody’s back stiffened 

This voice. She quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a mask talking to the stall owner not far away. 

That woman was none other than Yolanda! 

Although Yolanda was wearing a mask, Melody still recognized her at a glance. 

Coincidentally, Yolanda appeared when Melody was having trouble finding her. 

No wonder Yolanda was not at home. She had come to this black market to “replenish” her stock. 

However, since Melody could recognize Yolanda, Yolanda would recognize her too. Therefore, Melody’s first reaction was to find a hidden place and use the miscellaneous items‘ cover to monitor Yolanda’a’s condition secretly. 

The stall owner smiled and said, “Madam, go to the other stalls and ask. My price increase is very reasonable. The concentration of mercury sulfide you bought in the market is low, and it’s not enough to have an effect. You can’t buy pure mercury sulfide like ours anywhere else. It’s also difficult for us to get goods, so we raised the price.” 

– Yolanda couldn’t bargain and didn’t want to complicate matters for fear of exposing her identity. 

Moreover, she had to go to the shop to buy mercury sulfide on the market and provide identity information to buy a large amount of mercury sulfide, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and spend ten times the usual price to buy the mercury sulfide.
