I know there has been some robbing spree going on on the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, so maybe they are expanding their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, there are easier ways to rob me. It is not like I can do anything to fight back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon took off the chain and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two deliverymen carrying a bed-sized box, and it looked heavy, but they were still carrying it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon couldn’t see it, but there were four gang members sprawled on the ground, bleeding out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like they picked a fight with the deliverymen, but they picked a fight with the wrong people, as these deliverymen weren’t someone to fuck with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They brought the large box inside and looked for anywhere to place it, which wasn’t easy in such a cramped apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They eventually pushed the table aside and placed it right in the middle of the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The delivery also came with a letter. It comes with Braille paper, so you can read it even with your impaired vision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deliveryman said with a smile, and they then gave their farewells as they headed out, but they didn’t forget to clean up the gang members outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With Braille paper? Someone who ordered this knows about my blindness. Is it from Anna? But why would she buy this for me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon wondered with a frown, and he grabbed the letter, tracing his fingers across the dots on the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Braille was a tactile writing system that used raised dots arranged in patterns to represent letters, numbers, and symbols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he could actually read the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Hello, Fang Raon.

What if your syndrome can be healed? What if you can be whole again?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Black Online is your cure.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’From, your admirer.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon sat down to sponge the information on the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a prank. It must be.

It was just a blank white void.
