Chapter 211
After leaving Alchos, Shaun immediately called Loid and reported the situation.
“Station someone at Akhos to keep tabs on Venom. He must be in there somehow,” Loid remarked curtly before hanging up
Shaun stared at his phone and fell into deep thoughts. Daniel looked at him, “What did Loid say?”
“He wants us to monitor Alchos because Venom is surely there” Glancing in the direction of Alchos with furrowed brows, Shaun grumbled, “I looked high and low in Alchos. Venom is definitely not there. What is Loid trying to do?”
After some silence, Daniel slapped the car door when a thought occurred to him. Ah, I recall it now! Hawk of Alchos is a famous makeup artist. She can make someone look entirely different with her exceptional skills”
Rubbing his chin, Shaun mused, “Hm, that reminds me of something. We once requested Hawk’s services to disguise Ken for his safe retum to the country.”
“That’s right! Hawk would definitely be willing to help Venom, who’s one of the Elre Four. Besides, Theard that she’s in town lately,” Daniel agreed excitedly.
“But how can we tell Venom apart if Hawk is skilled in the art of disguise?” Shaun pointed out a concern.
Daniel opined, “A man can take on many faces, but his mannerisms will not change. Venom is in the weapon trade business, and he’s one of the big bosses in Emerald Delta. He has a ferocity within him that’s not seen in ordinary Alchos employees.”
Shaun clapped his hand. “That’s perfect I’ll dispatch some men to keep guard at Alchios. I don’t think Venom can get away this time. I’ll fucking nab this bastard!”
After that, he immediately made calls to set up the arrangements.
The auction hosted by the Weiss family would kick off at the largest hotel in Bridgeport, the Grand Emperor Hotel.
The Weiss family had booked out the hotel Private lounges had been reserved for the auction quests.
The auction would take place at the grand hall on the firstfloor. The ordinary guests would be seated on the first floor while the VIPS would fill the private lounges on the second floor that offered vantage views of the auction.
The auction was scheduled for 9:00 pm, but guests started filing into the hall at 8:00 pm.
Not only were the wealthy in attendance, but some middle–class attendees showed up as well. The Weiss family had poured in efforts to host the auction not just to auction off Redushil but also some antiques. The latter served to attract crowds to the auction.
Loid and Lily arrived at the same time as Joanne, Yolanda, and Nora. As Loid was discussing some arrangements with Daniel, Lily waited for him by the side.
Yolanda sneered at Lily, “What’s the matter? Did Lo bring you here to expand the horizons that you so lack? Well, you’d better take advantage of this opportunity in case he dumps you one day. If that happens, you won’t have such a chance anymore”
Unbothered, Lily slipped a hand into her pocket and stared at Yolanda lazily. She had no intention of wasting her time on a woman like Volanda.
Growing more irritated by Lily’s indifference, Yolanda snapped, “Why the smug attitude? Just because you’re Lo’s fiancée doesn’t mean you can look down on me. Remember, you’re from the countryside a poor match for Lo. Without him, you wouldn’t even be able to set foot in this auction. Know your place.”
Lilly started feeling annoyed by Yolanda. “Are you an attention–seeker?
*I’m just reminding you to stay in your lane,” Yolanda rerouted haughtily.
“Oh.” Lily fixed an emotionless gaze on Yolanda. “Can I only prove my social status if I’m able to enter the auction hall by myself?
“Of course!” Yolanda held her head high “Idare you to enter without Lo.”
Nodding, Uly flashed her a roguish smile. “Of course.”
Then, Lily tumbled in her shoulder bag for an invitation card, which she handed to the security guard. Pointing at Lold, Daniel, and Shaun, she informed the guard. “Those three are my friends.”
