"It's not too late to back down now."

"Enough talk, hold on tight, it's my turn to make my grand entrance."

You took Qin Che's arm and slowly walked into the venue.

"Qin Che, wasn't he missing...?"

Who's the person next to him?

You hear a lot of people whispering around you.

How's your acting?

"Don't worry, it's top-notch."

He chuckled softly, "You're always so confident."

"Mr. Qin, we've been waiting for you for a long time." A waiter appeared and blocked your way.

Qin Che bent down to put the communicator on your wrist and whispered in your ear, "Then it's time to see your performance."

He straightened up, raised his hand, and handed you a black card: "I'll be back in a bit. Have fun."

You took the card, secretly pleased; you were now someone with a black card too.

After Qin Che left, you strolled around the venue at your leisure. There was nothing special about the cores here; at most, they had been slightly tampered with.

A waiter approaches you and asks, "Miss, is there anything you like? There are even better ones over there."

You casually wave your hand and say, "I'll take all 1000 million."

"Huh?" The waiter was stunned by your extravagant behavior.

At that moment, a familiar voice came through your headphones; it was Qin Che.

"Extravagant... You really don't hold back when it comes to spending my money."

You proudly touched the communicator and said, "Of course, I can't let people think you've gone bankrupt."

You strolled around the venue casually, absentmindedly playing with the chips you had just bought.

One gaze after another fell upon you.

These cores have all been modified.

You turned around naturally, and those gazes immediately shifted away.

You take the opportunity to lower your voice into the headphones.

"Qin Che, how are things going on your end?"

At this moment, a strange man appears beside you.

"Miss, the brooch you're wearing is exquisite. Would you be willing to accept my offer?"

You turn your head, and there appears the suspicious man.

"Not interested in."

The man in the suit remained completely unmoved, and even took another step closer.

"Miss, don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't you hear my offer first?" the man continued to pester.

"Even if you offer 100 'Tower' units, I'm not interested." You looked down at me, your voice full of arrogance.

The man choked, as if he hadn't expected your answer at all.

"Miss, you're quite the joker. The intermission dinner is about to begin. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

"One of these is a special weapon made with an ultra-high-risk core that could blow up this hotel, and you're asking for a hundred? You really are..."

Qin Che appeared out of nowhere, slowly stepped forward, wrapped an arm around your waist, and pulled you into his embrace as if asserting his ownership.

"Really what?" you ask, curious about his answer.

"Naughty." Qin Che chuckled and looked at the man again. "Sorry, the brooch was a gift I gave her."

You slightly curled the corners of your lips, leaned closer to him, and placed one hand on his chest. You openly and boldly touched those full pectoral muscles.

You giggled and said, "This gentleman wanted to spend a fortune to get a dance from me, a hundred towers, and he didn't say he would refuse. What about you? You won't just leave without any response, will you?"

The man took a step back in surprise, but in the end, you scared him away.

Qin Che smiled faintly and leaned closer to you: "The location of the Ether Core."

This isn't the answer you wanted, and you feel a bit disappointed, but you still force yourself to ask excitedly, "You found it?"

"You will get the answer after you finish this dance."

Qin Che took a step back, one hand behind his back, the other outstretched, a sincere invitation.

You hesitate at this moment; your heart is willing, but your body won't beat.

"What's wrong? Are you going to reject me?" he urged in a deep voice.

"I can't dance." You scratch your face awkwardly.

"It's okay, stand on my feet, I'll help you." He took your hand and pulled you into his arms.

During the banquet, the music was melodious, and you were led by him, moving in and out of the dance floor with his light steps, spinning continuously.

You are captivated by his face, which is as perfect as a masterpiece.

And his gaze belongs entirely to you.
