In the back alley, Joo gets nervous when she hears the conversation captured by their bugging device. She bites her lips and says, "The electronic defense system of their VIP floors can't be hacked in from the outside. Only with your specially-made bug can we receive some signals from there. We have to let the target get in with the bug. What should we do?" 

"Don't let him change his shoes. We have to distract him. I can play some tricks but only on something connected to the internet. "Jacobs pushes up his glasses and sits down calmly. He looks at his laptop screen and asks Joo, "What electronic products do they have around them?"

"Let me see. Their phones?" Joo tries to think of something quickly.

“Jacobs shakes his head, "It can easily leave traces if we hack into their phones."

"If they are in the entrance hall...there should be computers in the reception, central air conditioning system, electronic clock...Right! Time!" Joo's eyes suddenly light up, "They went in a hurry to meet their boss, so time is critical!"

“Okay, leave it to me.” Jacobs types on the keyboard quickly and thinks aloud, "We can't tamper with their time directly, it would be too obvious. Well, the numbers on the clock are in relaxing blue. I know what to do. Let's turn them orange and add a low-frequency flickering effect. It'll be enough to attract their attention but won't arouse their suspicion..."

In front of the VIP-only elevator inside Bubble Gang HQ.

Beaugosse is still irritated by the cat pee on his shoes. K looks at him, knowing he can't do anything about it, he just reminds Beaugosse, "We are going to be late."

"I just want to get a pair of new shoes in the exclusive store on the third floor. It won't take long."

K shrugs his shoulders, "It always takes you at least half an hour to decide which pair of shoes to wear."

"We've only got one minute." K points at one side of the hall where there is an electronic clock showing time with glaring orange numbers.

Beaugosse frowns. He wavers for a few seconds and in the end, flips his hair and reluctantly says, "Okay. We can't let Her Majesty the Queen wait for us." He presses the elevator button and mutters, "The electronic clock in the hall is dazzling today. Tell the maintenance team to fix it next time."

The two of them walk into the elevator.

On the other side of the line, Joo in the back alley and Jacobs on the mountaintop both let out a sigh of relief. Jacobs murmurs, "God bless us. No more glitches, please." 

 The VIP-only elevator opens. Beaugosse walks out while arranging his suit. K follows him, still with a poker face.

The large suite on the top floor has a pair of antique European doors decorated in a luxurious and elegant style. A few people, looking humble, are standing on both sides of the corridor in front of the doors.

One of them looks familiar to Beaugosse so he takes a closer look, "Oh, isn't this the sociology professor who criticized fashion for poisoning teenagers on a talk show only a few days ago?"

Now the professor is wearing a trendy pink collar with the Bubble brand logo inlaid with diamonds, which doesn't match his outdated clothes at all. With a flattering smile on his face, he bows like a servant and salutes the two, opening the doors for them. 

Behind the doors, it's a parlor with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The sunlight floods in but it has been softened by a special filtering layer, providing perfect lighting for the room.

**A tall and slim woman is standing in the center of the parlor.** 

She is wearing a uniquely designed golden dress with huge puff sleeves, gorgeous tiny pink diamonds embellished on the hemline, and purple fluorescent strips on the waist. It would be ridiculous and weird for any supermodel to wear it. 

 But when this woman is in that dress, she'll remind you of both steel and the sun.

Just one first glance, anyone can tell that this woman has a tough character like steel.

While the sun gives energy to all living things to flourish, it can also bring disasters that burn everything into ashes.
