Chapter 46 - 45. The Crown Prince
Where do people often meet for networking? Office? No, it was hotels. Naturally, for meetings with high-level participants, it should be in one of the best hotels in the country.
Leaving the car with the valet, Hajin stared at the luxurious hotel, which could be considered top-class even among the same five-star establishments. Hauling a bold name of ’Imperial’, it was owned by the top conglomerate in the country: Mirae Group.
"Huh..." Hajin looked at his nonchalant master. Was that why she felt confident?
The Circle was situated on her investor’s lover’s turf.
Well, it was only natural. As a ’secret’ society where the top 0.1% gathered, it was started by people who were in power at that time: founders of conglomerate families, lawmakers, government officials...
Basically, a modern aristocratic circle.
"So you do know the place," Axton commented with a scoff and half disbelieved.
While the existence of the Circle itself wasn’t a secret among the conglomerates, not everyone was privy to its location. Naturally, Axton was doubtful that someone who had no friends and had just returned from abroad like Sarah knew about it.
At the inquisitive stare, Sarah merely shrugged and smiled innocently. "Please lead the way."
Knowing the place was one thing, but entering the venue itself required an invitation, which she shouldn’t have. She received one from her contact just before they arrived, but why should she waste her half-brother’s generosity?
"Hmph," Axton turned around with a haughty smile, knowing that he was the holder of their entry ticket. Perhaps that was why he took Jasper--so he would be able to feel superior as someone who brought the kid to the prestigious meeting.
