I raised a hand slightly, stopping the reporter before he could push further.
"Checkered Sword Maiden? Personally? I've never met her, but I do know her face. I mean… who here hasn't seen her picture?" I let a small smile slip.
"She's practically everywhere—posters, billboards… She's the poster Seeker of the city. And let's be real—she's not just powerful, she's also easy on the eyes. You would probably trip over a deadly snake just to catch a glimpse of her."
A few chuckles ran through the room, and many nodded in agreement. Even some of the more serious reporters allowed faint smiles.
I leaned slightly on the mic, lowering my voice.
"As for Hai-Min, I know her from the Tower Echo—well, not directly. She was saved by my close friend and associate, Amanda, who runs a training center. Now, she's working there."
