Chapter 174

Chapter 174 If So, It’s Quite Interesting!

In the rest area, the discussion didn’t center much on Jodie.

Simone suggested, “With a 150,000 dollars prize, we can take a break from work for the next three

days.”

“Let’s live well, eat well, and have fun.”

Zac enthusiastically agreed, “Absolutely! We’ll count on your guidance to keep us in relaxation mode

for these three days.”

“For the remaining time, let’s aim to win the prize in the upcoming game activity. This way, we can chill

until the end of the variety show.”

Harry chimed in with a grin, “I definitely made the right choice teaming up with you!” He and Brandon

had initially signed a two–day guest contract.

Due to Jodie’s injury, she couldn’t continue participating in the live broadcast for the next few days.

So, the originally arranged guest replaced Jodie’s position.

The director had just avoided the live broadcast and talked to him and Brandon separately.

They had performed well and didn’t have to leave early. They could stay until the end of the variety

show.

Afterward, they just needed to sign another contract.

“For these three days, shall we stay in one hotel or switch to different good ones?” Simone asked the

duo.

Zac suggested, “Let’s switch it up.”

“Given our theme of having fun, let’s give everyone a taste of different star–rated hotels in Slovance, he

continued.

Harry agreed, saying, “Sounds good!”

Simone nodded. “Alright, your call.”

Using a mobile app, Simone picked a few star–rated hotels for Zac and Harry to choose from. They

chose three different hotels and booked separate stays for one day each, which were priced between

eight to nine thousand dollars per night.

Upon setting the live broadcast theme as “having fun,” they opted for high–end travel to give viewers a

luxurious experience.

In contrast, Keira’s group pursued budget travel.

With the money earned from part–time work, the three of them would devise a plan to explore cost–

effective dining and accommodation options, providing viewers with an experiential journey.

This contrast in experiences intrigued viewers, leading many to either switch between the two streams

or watch both simultaneously.

Both were interesting.

However, many other live streams were budget travel, so there were more viewers interested in high–

end travel.

Coupled with their popularity, the number of viewers in Simone’s livestream was several

times that of Keira’s.

The other group was taking Jodie to the hospital. Apart from Jodie’s concerned fans and the loyal fans

of the other three, everyone else had dispersed to the other two live streams.

So, the number of viewers had dropped from second place to last place.

Post–hotel bookings, they discussed dinner plans.

After a round of searching, they decided on a Michelin–starred restaurant.

Simone shared the details in the group chat, arranging a meet–up time with Keira.

Later, they grabbed a cab to the hotel where they booked.

The check–in point for the day was a local seaside lighthouse, which was more suitable for visiting at

night.

They planned to rest at the hotel for a while and go for a High tea.

Afterward, they would head to the restaurant for dinner and finally join the other group to visit the tourist

spot together.

As they entered the hotel lobby, they coincidentally encountered Skyler and another man in the midst of

check–in.

Simone couldn’t shake off the feeling that Skyler’s presence here wasn’t by chance–likely having

watched their live broadcast and deliberately chosen the same hotel.

Although Simone couldn’t decipher Skyler’s thoughts from his expression.

Skyler greeted her with a polite and elegant smile upon seeing her.

He didn’t come over to talk to her.

After completing their check–in at the front desk, Skyler and the man left with their room. key.

Simone shifted her attention away from them and checked in with Zac and the others.

They agreed to rest in their rooms for half an hour and then meet on the hotel rooftop for High tea.

Simone entered her room and took out some tea bags from her suitcase, brewing three cups.

of tea

Just as she placed the freshly brewed tea on the coffee table, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door and saw Skyler and the man standing outside.

Simone gestured for them to come in and then turned to sit on the couch herself.

Skyler and the man walked in and closed the door behind them.

They sat down on the couch opposite Simone.

When they saw the three cups of tea on the coffee table, it was obvious they were just brewed. Both of

them were surprised.

Skyler smiled and asked, “Did you know we would come?”

Simone picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, “I had a feeling.”

Skyler had given her such obvious hints before.

During the race, she encountered negative energy attacks again.

Skyler had deliberately come to stay at this hotel, so she guessed he would go directly to find

her.

After they entered the room, the live broadcast was stopped.

So, this time period was more suitable.

Skyler took the tea and said, “Miss Simone, you are indeed very clever.”

“Do you know me?” Although he was asking, his tone carried certainty.

This time. Simone didn’t pretend not to know.

She nodded and said. “I know, you are Gwen’s and Leon’s brother.”

Since they had come to her door, there was no point in hiding anymore.

Skyler chuckled lightly. “You really do know me.”

He then asked with a hint of playfulness, “My sister must have scolded me a lot, right?”

Simone raised an eyebrow. “Not really.”

Gwen has complained about Skyler, but she hasn’t really scolded him.

She didn’t want to beat around the bush and said, “What’s the matter? Just tell me straight.”

When Skyler heard this, he knew that Simone was indeed very straightforward.

He introduced the man next to him to Simone, “This is Sean Stanley, captain of the Special

Department’s First Team. He is the one who wants to meet you today.”

Sean reached out his hand. “Miss Simone, nice to meet you!”

Simone shook hands with him. She noticed that his hand was very cold as if it had no temperature.

But it was not surprising, as this person had a special constitution.

She looked at Sean and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”

Sean went straight to the point and said, “I came today to ask Miss Simone for a favor. We have been

chasing an evil cultivator who came to Slovance yesterday, so we followed him here.”

Simone raised an eyebrow. “Are you suggesting that the individual who tampered with my car today at

the racetrack is the evil cultivator?”

Sean smiled faintly, his pale face showing a hint of amusement. “It appears that Miss Simone has

already figured it out. You managed to fend him off and even counterattacked. With your abilities, I

believe you should be able to locate his hiding place, right? We came to you today seeking your

assistance in finding that person.”

After speaking, he covered his mouth and began coughing.

Simone handed him another cup of tea. “Don’t you all know that he came to the Slovance?

Why do you still need my help in finding him?”

Sean took a sip of tea and explained, “He is extremely powerful. He vanished immediately after

disembarking from the plane. We only discovered that his purpose for coming to the Slovance was to

target you. However, we haven’t been able to locate him. That’s why we followed you to the racetrack,

but we found no trace of him. That’s why Skyler specifically reminded you.”

He changed the subject. “But based on your performance at the racetrack earlier, even if we hadn’t

reminded you, you would have been fine.”

This surprised them all. They hadn’t expected her to possess such power.

Not only did she evade the negative energy attack set up by that person, but she also counterattacked.

Now, that person must be seriously injured from the counterattack, making it the perfect opportunity to

capture him..

That was why they took the initiative to approach Simone and ask for her help.

Simone smiled. “I see. That’s why you came to me.”

Then she looked at Skyler and asked, “Are you also part of the Special Department?” If so, it would be

quite intriguing!
