Chapter 1165 VIP Invitation
Crystal's POV:
The clown standing in front of Rufus took the phone and thoroughly examined it before passing it on to the clown next to him. The three clowns pored over the phone very carefully and handed it off to one another.
I scrutinized the clown's expressions without blinking.
They whispered among each other, and one of them even took out his phone, probably to compare the invitation.
Was it possible that he discovered something wrong?
Perhaps this wasn't the correct invitation, and Rufus was simply bluffing...
The longer they studied the phone, the colder my insides became.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
I peeked at Rufus, and he seemed calm and composed. However, I still couldn't take it easy.
I already knew that Rufus never took risks.
But this time, Arron was involved, so I couldn't play it cool no matter what.
My limbs were getting stiff. The three clowns had been deliberating for a long time.
It seemed that Rufus had just improvised and found the wrong invitation to deal with them.
Perhaps we would soon be exposed and kicked out as frauds.
No, I had to figure another way out. My mind quickly started racing.
However, before I could come up with a solution, the clowns suddenly wore an even more sincere grin than before.
They respectfully returned the phone
to Rufus and one of them said, "You have been recommended by our regular VIP customer, and you have the invitation. So you're welcome to watch the freak show. But the show is scheduled for three in the afternoon, which is still one hour away. So you can check out the other attractions in the meantime."
"Okay, thank you," Rufus replied with a smile and calmly took back his phone.
After returning the phone to Rufus, the clowns didn't leave immediately. They scratched their heads and rummaged through their pockets.
I watched them, baffled, and noticed that they took out a colorful map and handed it to Rufus.
The clown in front of Rufus explained in a serious voice, "This is the map to the freak show. Please follow the marked directions on it to get there. Each invitation allows two people in. Enjoy yourselves!"
"Thank you." With a nod, Rufus folded the map thrice before tucking it into his pocket.
"You're welcome!" The three clowns replied in unison, linked their arms and skipped away.
As I watched their backs, I felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
Rufus flicked his fingers on my forehead and comfortingly said, "Don't overthink it. We'll discover the truth at three o'clock."
"Okay." I heaved a sigh of relief and curiously turned to him. "How did you get your hands on the invitation?"
Rufus blinked calmly and explained,
"Didn't I tell you that this is a suspicious place? I've sent a lot of people to probe, but they couldn't uncover anything. I've been keeping an eye on this place for a long time, wanting to investigate it. The invitation was
prepared a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."
"That's quite a coincidence." With a sigh, I asked, "Why don't we just bring in soldiers to find Arron? It would be quicker."
With a helpless smile, Rufus
somberly explained, "Initially, I
considered the idea of breaking in by force, but that would only tip off our enemy. We still don't know Arron's exact location, and we have no proof that he is here. Those people might kill him and destroy the evidence when they're cornered."
