"Mr. Tudor, you have to stay in Arthur Town for a few more days to experience our local culture and hospitality." At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Larry entered with a grave expression, whispering something into Steve's ear.
Steve's expression shifted, but with Lucas present, he restrained himself from reacting too strongly. Just as he was about to give instructions, the door suddenly burst open, and someone stumbled inside! Five minutes earlier, in the neighboring private room.
Mike advanced towards Aveline a step at a time, his eyes filled with lust as he eyed her tightly buttoned shirt, itching to tear it off.
"Stay away from me! If you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure your life becomes a living hell!" Aveline's face paled as she desperately searched for something to defend herself with, Mike laughed arrogantly, dismissing her threats, "Go ahead and try. Here in Arthur Town, I'm untouchable!"

Just then, there was a knock on the private room door.

Mr. Steve is entertaining investors from Cloudflare City." +15 BONUS "Get the hell out! Who told you to cin?" Mike's rage intensified as Larry entered the room instead of leaving. Knowing Mike's temper, Larry realized that reasoning with him was futile. He quickly turned to seek out Steve.
Seeing Larry leave, Mike redirected his focus back to Aveline.
Sensing an opportunity, Aveline dashed out of the room, heading straight for the neighboring one.
She knew she couldn't leave Celestial Heights tonight; Mike was indeed untouchable in Arthur Town.
As long as she stayed in the town, he would find her wherever she went. However, since there were important investors from Cloudflare -City next door, barging in there seemed like her safest option. "Damn it, you wretched woman, how dare you run!" Mike's angry curses followed behind her, his footsteps growing louder and closer. Aveline gritted her teeth and burst through the door of the adjacent private room, charging inside.
Mike, still cursing, followed closely behind. Seeing the people inside, he quickly said, "Dad, this is my girlfriend. She's just throwing a tantrum. I'll take her out, and you can continue with your meal." He started walking towards Aveline.

Aveline glanced at Lucas briefly before turning to Steve and saying," Sir, I don't even know him: He's trying to rape me!" Lucas' face darkened instantly.
He was seated right here, yet she was asking someone else for help. Did she think he didn't exist? Then atmosphere in the room grew inexplicably cold, an invisible pressure weighing on everyone. Steve nervously glanced at Lucas. Seeing his displeasure, cold sweat started to bead on his forehead. He turned to Mike. "You brat, get out of here! Don't you see I'm working? How dare you cause trouble?"
Mike, unwilling to give up, glared viciously at Aveline. "Chere, h was wrong before I apologize. Can't we make up?" Aveline immediately hid behind Steve, determined not to go anywhere near Mike.
"Hah!" Suddenly, a cold laugh echoed through the room, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
They all turned towards the source of the sound.
