"Hello, are you Miss Alice?"
The man took a moment to confirm. The name "Alice" had only started circulating in the city's elite circles over the past year, but by now, it was practically legendary.
There were different levels of invitations, and the one he held in his hand was undoubtedly the highest tier. As far as he knew, only two had been sent out.
One went to the city's top legitimate businessman, and the other to Alice.
Businessmen are driven by profit, and the means of obtaining that profit often don't matter much to them. This is why their dealings with certain people in the underworld tend to be quite close.
This wasn't Gotham, where gangs like the Riddler's and Joker's clashed. In this city's underworld, Alice was the undisputed queen.
The girl standing before him looked exactly as people had described—elegant, refined, and strikingly beautiful. Especially her eyes, which seemed to freeze anyone who dared to meet her gaze.
