A Film Queen

Chapter 106 The Mushroom Blooms

The sudden appearance of the Shadow Palace at the gala dinner in Halturia was definitely suspicious.

Oliver also figured this out naturally. He asked, “What do you need me to do?”

Leon replied, “It’s simple. King and I will attend the gala dinner. You’d be there, too, but pretend not to know us. Act accordingly when the time comes.”

“Got it.”

They had completed many missions together, so there was a basic level of tacit understanding among them. According to Leon’s message, Oliver could roughly guess his plan.

Given the strict control over firearms in Halturia, they couldn’t afford to openly use firearms, or it would cause them trouble. The Shadow Palace was no exception.

Thus, the only viable option was to solve the problem with money.

Meanwhile…

George carried Milly to his presidential suite.

The Tate Group owned this hotel. As per protocol, a presidential suite was always reserved for George in case he needed a place to stay during inspections.

He had a severe obsession with cleanliness, so he regularly cleaned and disinfected the suite to ensure it was ready for his arrival.

As he was about to use his fingerprint to open the door, the drunken Milly in his arms suddenly lifted her head. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him and asked, “Who… who are you?”

George smiled and was clearly in a good mood. He looked at her and asked, “Who do you think I am?”

Milly’s head was foggy. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make out his face.

Hmm, who is he?
