Chapter 209 Are you Drugged?
Seeing Leo shamelessly seducing Hera right before his eyes, Dave’s nostrils flared like a bull ready to charge, his gaze fixed on Leo with intense fury. With a few quick strides, he was standing directly behind Leo. The atmosphere in the room grew tense, and even the other occupants fell silent as if trying to fade into the background amidst the escalating tension. Sensing the shift in dynamics, the performers discreetly exited the room, leaving Hera and the others unaware of their departure. Even the woman and the sommelier began to make their way out, giving the trio some privacy.
Dave’s question halted them all and snapped Hera out of her trance. "Dude, are you drugged?" Dave’s initial anger shifted to concern as he reached out, touching Leo’s neck. The moment their skin made contact, Dave felt Leo’s body as hot as a frying pan, a clear indication that something was seriously wrong with him.
Leo remained silent, seemingly lost in his own world, consumed by his desires and struggling to maintain control. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he fought against whatever influence was overpowering him. Hera, feeling a surge of anger toward whoever had drugged Leo, gently touched his forehead, confirming that he was indeed burning up. She chastised herself for letting desire cloud her judgment earlier, failing to notice Leo’s distress.
"Investigate this matter!" Hera’s voice, though not loud, reverberated through the silent room. The anger in her shaky tone was palpable, and everyone present could feel her fury.
Without hesitation, the woman and the sommelier left the room, the woman immediately starting the investigation. She also informed Gerald and Cindy, that knowing their higher access within the system would be invaluable. Dave had no issue with how the staff reacted, recognizing that the incident had occurred in their establishment and required their prompt attention.
Incidents like this were unheard of at Dragon Palace Hotel. The hotel’s impeccable security measures and unbribable staff ensured such occurrences were virtually impossible. As the only 7-star hotel in the country and the world, maintaining a flawless reputation was paramount. To achieve this, the hotel offered salaries five times higher than those of five-star hotels, attracting top-tier employees and ensuring unparalleled service.
Because of this, the staff had no incentive to accept bribes or engage in misconduct. They understood that the consequences would be severe: not only would they lose their job and generous salary, including year-end bonuses, but they would also be blacklisted from the industry, effectively ending their careers. Only a fool would risk such repercussions.
