“It’s going to be a little tough finding this woman,” Wolf’s Greed replied, “She doesn’t really have a home. She normally spends the night in some rich man’s home.”
“But not to worry, she’ll be attending the Sky Ocean Banquet tomorrow. As long as we turn up there, we’ll be able to find her and get her to clear Hunting Wolf’s name.”
“The Sky Ocean Banquet?” Zeke asked curiously, “The most prestigious social gathering in the whole of Eurasia?”
Wolf’s Greed nodded his head. “That’s right. In fact, the person organizing this event is my student. In a way, he’s sort of your grand disciple.”
“Hmm, that works as well,” Zeke said, “Get in touch with this student of yours. We’ll be the ones holding this event tomorrow.”
“Understood.”
The next day, Zeke and Wolf’s Greed walked up to the Sky Ocean Banquet’s entrance.
The event was being held on a lavish cruise ship.
The Sky Ocean Banquet certainly lived up to its name of the most prestigious event in the whole of Eurasia. Even before it had started, the entrance was already swamped with a large crowd of guests.
Those who were able to enter were the elite of either the business or fashion industry.
A majority of them were B-list and C-list celebrities.
If they could hook up with any one of these big shots, they would instantly be able to rise to the ranks of the A-list celebrities.
So, these people exquisitely dolled up and scantily clad celebrities immediately became the spotlight of the event.
“Zeke.” Wolf’s Greed informed, “My people have told me Lily Rogers has already entered the place. Let’s head in.”
Zeke nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
But just as he took a step forward, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.
It was Lacey and Mia, accompanied by the production crew for the promotional video.
“What are both of them doing here?” Zeke frowned, “Are they here to film the promotional video?”
After much hesitation, Zeke decided against joining them.
This event was filled with the rich and wealthy. For all he knew, people from the four major households could be here.
And if they were to spot him being close to Lacey, she would definitely be dragged into the matter.
Lacey and Mia, on the other hand, marveled at everything they saw in wide-eyed wonder.
“Wow! Mr. Lewis really wasn’t kidding when he told us to come here to film. This place is amazing,” Lacey marveled.
Mia nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Anywhere we film in this place will instantly make our promotional video a lot classier.”
“Alright, that’s enough chit-chat,” Lacey said hastily, “Let’s get to work.”
“Oh, and it’ll be great if you can get a few shots with other celebrities in it.”
The production crew Lacey had brought along immediately got busy.
However, just as Zeke was about to enter the venue, he suddenly noticed a stout man stop beside Lacey, reaching towards her.
He quickly halted in his tracks.
A beauty like Lacey was bound to be harassed at a function like this.
The man patted Lacey on the shoulder and said, “Good morning, Ms. Hinton.”
Lacey was quite grossed out by his action. However, she kept her cool and replied politely, “Good morning, Mr. Lewis. Thank you for recommending this place to us. This is the ideal backdrop for our promotional video.”
This man, Harry Lewis, was the very guy who had recommended this place to Lacey.
Harry laughed, “This is just the outside. What’s inside is far greater than what you see here. Ms. Hinton, I cordially invite you and Ms. Young to follow me in and film your video inside.”
Lacey was in a dilemma.
She did really want to go in to film the video.
But judging by the lewd expression on Harry’s face, he certainly didn’t mean well by his invitation.
In the end, she rejected him. “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Lewis. But we’ll be fine with just filming from the outside.”
Displeased, Harry frowned. “Oh? I think it’s better if you took me up on my offer. Otherwise, I guarantee you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lacey’s hand.
However, just as Zeke was about to enter the venue, he suddenly noticed a stout man stop beside Lacey, reaching towards her.
