Winston acknowledged with a nod. Hannah declared, “Let’s get going.”
They were inside a car. Slowly, the scene outside the window turned busy and Lively.
Entering Caditown, the surroundings grew even more impressive, with vibrant neon lights illuminating the darkness.
They parked the car, and Hannah stepped out. Instantly, a mix of sounds filled her ears from the bustling crowd. The buildings in Caditown stood distinct from those elsewhere, triggering memories of architectural styles back home for Hannah.
The bustling scene included people and cars moving around. Yet, some buildings lurking in the shadows appeared strangely mysterious.
“There’s Jade Paradise,” Winston pointed out.
The sight of the building ahead captivated them. Bathed in golden light, Jade Paradise resembled a palace fit for an emperor, exuding allure and mystery.
Raising an eyebrow, Hannah suggested, “Let’s head in.”
Their approach to Jade Paradise felt scrutinized.
Walking beside Hannah, Keith and Trent’s smiles had vanished, replaced by stern expressions.
Trent glanced at the shadowy figures nearby and whispered, “We’re already under surveillance. I thought they’d wait until we were inside Jade Paradise.”
“Give it a break. We’re here to have fun, not to cause trouble. Why are you so nervous?” Hannah looked at Trent and Kent, continuing, “No need to stick by my side like bodyguards. They might think something is going on even though there isn’t.”
With that, the group marched toward Jade Paradise’s gate, where eight bodyguards stood.
Just then, Lorenzo showed up at the gate with several waiters in tow.
Spotting Hannah and the other, he walked over and greeted them with a stiff smile, “I had a feeling a distinguished guest would visit us today. I didn’t expect it to be you, Miss Moore. Welcome to Jade Paradise.”
“Thank you, but I’ve just arrived. I hope I’m not a bother, though,”
Hannah said, her eyebrow slightly raised. “I heard Jade Paradise has good service, so I came over and have a look around.”

“Of course not, Miss Moore. You can come at any time. I see Mr. Keith and Trent Compton came with you,” Lorenzo pointed out meaningfully.
“Well, it’s my first time here, so I had to bring someone already familiar with the place. Otherwise, I might make a fool out of myself and embarrass the Comptons,” Hannah reasoned.
Lorenzo smirked. “Don’t make me laugh, Miss Moore. You don’t need to bother these two gentlemen when you come here. Just tell me, and the whole staff will serve you well by my order.”
Keith sniggered. “Come on, Lorenzo. You weren’t this hospitable when I came here with Trent before.”
“Please don’t joke around, Mr. Compton. Madam Compton cares about Miss Moore very much. She specially asked us to tell Miss Moore to have a good time tonight.” Lorenzo turned around and gestured inside with his stretched out hand, saying, “This way please, Miss Moore.”
Hannah waved her hand to her companions, and together they entered Jade Paradise.
As soon as the group went in, Lorenzo dropped his smile. The look in his eyes turned cold as he ordered the bodyguards, “Keep an eye on them. If trouble happens because of them, I’ll skin you all alive!
