Chapter 209: The Event (2)[Christian POV]
"I told my husband that I was out with my girlfriends tonight. How about we enjoy today’s event together?"
My initial thought was to kindly decline her invitation. I wasn’t sure what I was doing, and I wasn’t here for the show. But on the other hand, sticking by her could help me blend in and help me with any situations I wasn’t prepared for.
"Very well, Miss. It would be my honor," I replied with a short bow.
She giggled and tightened her grip around my arm, "Tonight, you may call me Swan. What about you? Mr. Mysterious?"
"Haha! I kind of like Mr. Mysterious!" I laughed, while internally I was panicking to come up with a fitting name.
John? No, too basic. Umm, Dracula? No, way to vampire...
"You may call me Zero," I replied with a bit of uncertainty.
She beamed at my reply, "Oh, how fitting! I just hope it doesn’t mean you have zero money! Haha!"
After our brief introduction, she pulled me inside. Inside, I marveled at how immaculate all of the decorations were. It truly felt like I was transported back in time, to a historic period where nobles would get together and enjoy a night of debauchery.
What greeted us first was a very thorough search by the security guards.
It’s him!
I quickly recognized one of the men as the one who interrogated me the night at the port. He looked just as bloodthirsty as I remembered as he scanned through the crowd, looking for any potential disturbances.
