The cigar he carefully prepared was wasted by Abel like this. Shanks reminded him in a displeased tone, "You're wasting your time on this unrealistic stuff. Just smoke a few more cigars.

"The cigars I make for you cost a pretty penny, and they're a pain to make."

When Abel heard this, he quickly took two more puffs. Although Shanks was complaining, he would not refuse to make more cigars. Yet, Abel still unconsciously played along when he heard Shanks' wistful tone.

"Tsk, every time I mention this, you switch topics. You're just fronting. It's pretty boring."

Shanks opened the car door and got in.

Abel threw the cigar on the ground and stepped on it to put it out. Then, he got into the car from the other side.

He said to the driver who had been waiting for them, "Take us to the restaurant."

"Yes, Mr. Abel," replied the driver as he drove away.

On the other hand, Warren was driving, and the other three in the car kept quiet.

Even though they all had experience dealing with such big occasions, no one felt like talking much after a morning of exhaustion.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Luke said, "I've booked three rooms in the hotel upstairs. After you've eaten, go upstairs to rest. We'll leave for the venue around three o'clock."

"Yes, sir," replied Warren and Evan.

Luca was slightly surprised by Luke's arrangement, but she did not say anything and just had a meal with them.

It was hot outside during the meal, and everyone was getting a bit uncomfortable with the heat. They did not chat much. None of them even brought up what happened at the venue.

After the meal, Warren and Evan each took a room key card while Luca took the other one. They went upstairs together.

Luca entered the suite, and as soon as she put the key card in the slot, Luke held her hand and walked toward the bed.

"Luke?" Luca was surprised. Luke was not someone who acted so eagerly. Could it be that Abel had drugged him?
