Chapter 347 Everything Is in Place
Kate had no idea there had been such an episode. After leaving Alice, she wandered leisurely through the banquet hall, her eyes constantly scanning the crowd.
She had only seen Eric next to Erica before. After searching for a long time, she still couldn’t spot Eric.
A sense of inexplicable irritation began to grow within her. Kate didn’t like being in such noisy environments, so she moved to a quieter corner.
As soon as she reached the corner, she noticed someone was already sitting there.
The man wore black casual wear and a baseball cap. That man looked completely out of place in the elegant atmosphere of the banquet hall. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
It’s him?
H, the infamous mad doctor known internationally.
This person was indeed quite strange. The last time they met in the elevator, H had stared at her. face for a long time and even said she resembled someone he used to know.
How peculiar.
Kate turned to leave, but H, who sat quietly, suddenly spoke up, “You didn’t want to see me?”
Kate halted her steps. She turned around, confused, and met H’s deep gaze head–on.
She subtly took a step back, putting a distance between them. Kate replied directly, “Sir, I don’t know you.”
H stood up calmly. He was very tall. When he stood up, his towering height gave Kate an inexplicable sense of pressure. His deep eyes still stared down at her, and he chuckled lightly. He said, “If you don’t remember, so be it.”
After saying this, H gave Kate one last meaningful look before he walked away.
What?
Kate watched his retreating back and was bewildered. Why is this guy acting so odd?

Kate quickly stood up and walked straight towards Eric. After taking a few steps, Kate noticed that other people were also approaching Eric to engage in conversation. Soon, many people started to surround him.
Eric effortlessly engaged with them, his expression indifferent, revealing nothing of his true thoughts.
Eric’s gaze seemed to unintentionally sweep towards Kate. Their eyes briefly met before he looked away and continued moving in the opposite direction with the group.
Saltoban also spotted Eric and followed him.
Worry crept into Kate’s heart. After a moment of hesitation, she decided not to follow them. Instead, she sat back down and took a deep breath, watching them leave.
“Edward, how’s it going on your end?”
As she sat down, Kate subtly pressed a tiny carpiece into her ear.
Edward had hacked into the banquet hall’s surveillance system. He was hiding on the top floor with his laptop. Hearing Kate’s voice, he responded softly, “All set.”
As he spoke, he typed the final line of code. The screen on his laptop flickered, showing the surveillance footage.
“The birthday party is just a cover. They’re actually using this event, with its mix of people, to make some deals. This is a common tactic among Sagrado’s nobility.”
Listening to Edward, Kate spoke gravely, “What about Eric? What’s his situation?”
