Chapter 214: Best Host
"The tournament has already been confirmed. I don’t see the point of you getting involved anymore," Jeru stated when they were on their way back home.
"But how will you even be able to enter the ship with the tracking devices? They will find out at the scanning process. You need someone who can wear those tracking devices without getting caught. So having me to be that person is the best option," Thea said matter-of-factly.
She was indeed the best candidate for those tracking devices. She was the only person who could go inside Leon’s ship without all the hassle of getting checked.
"We’ve already planned everything. Keira and the rest would enter the ship with a disguise," Jeru explained about the plan to Thea.
It was a tournament aimed for the uber rich. So entering the premise disguised as a spectator should be reasonably easy, as long as you could pay the exorbitant entrance fee. However, the thing would get trickier if they were to enter with a tracking device planted on them. According to their sources, Leon had upgraded his security system so any kinds of concealed devices would be easily detected.
No one was allowed to enter with anything other than the clothes they would be having on their body and cash money. Mobile phones or any kinds of gadgets, and any other things that were not intended for a mere spectator of the tournament, such as weapons, were strictly prohibited. It was even said that Leon’s men had been ordered to kill anyone on the spot should they find anything suspicious on the person.
"See, you will all enter with nothing but yourself? That would be too dangerous! I’m telling you, I’m the best host for those tracking devices! I’m the only suitable candidate. You can put all kinds of tracking devices on me and see if they still can detect it," Thea said, trying to convince Jeru that this was the most sensible option.
"But it’s too dangerous... If they found out you had a tracking device on you, they might kill you." murmured Jeru. He was hesitant to put Thea in an uncertain situation.
Thea laughed scornfully and rebuked, "Trust me they won’t kill me. Once they verify that I’m Leon’s woman, they will not even dare to touch me. Even if they somehow find anything suspicious on me, they wouldn’t kill me on the spot as they had been ordered to. They would just remove those from me."
