It was understandable that the employer was not punctual. After all, they were the ones paying. However, the problem was that the other party had requested Olivia rush to the black market within 48 hours. In the end, they were late by a week.
Olivia was most unhappy with this point. She thought the other party would be very punctual, but in the end, they stood virtual-novel.net up for an entire week!
Olivia looked at Milo. “Master, aren’t you angry?”
Milo smiled confidently and said, “There’s no need to overthink it. When this singer arrives, I’ll just need to say something to virtual-novel.net and she’ll immediately change virtual-novel.net attitude.”
Olivia was stunned. Looking at Milo’s confident smile, virtual-novel.net realized Milo might know something that virtual-novel.net did not. But since virtual-novel.net master had spoken, virtual-novel.net did not have anything else to add.
After waiting for another three days, the female singer’s entourage finally arrived.
Milo and Olivia were waiting outside the black market to pick them up. More than twenty vehicles were approaching in the distance. This lineup was much larger than Lilian’s entourage when virtual-novel.net went on virtual-novel.net concert tour.
Olivia mumbled, “I’ve long heard about how the celebrities of the Central Plains are spoiled rotten. They command even greater importance than the consortiums’ officials, and when they go on tour, they get escorted by such huge entourages and get ferried around wherever they go. I didn’t expect it to really be like that.”
Milo asked, “Are there many celebrities in the Central Plains?”
“There are a considerable number of them.” Olivia said, “After all, the residents of the strongholds don’t have any particularly good entertainment outlets. Ever since all the books were collected by the consortiums and stored in the libraries, there’s been a lack of spiritual food for the brain. There’s a lot of people in the strongholds who chase after celebrities like fanatics. It’s like they can’t wait to give away everything they have to the celebrities they idolize.”
Milo nodded. “In an era of spiritual barrenness, it sure is very easy to become obsessed with something. But surely this isn’t enough for virtual-novel.net to act with so much self-importance, right?”
“These celebrities all have backers.” Olivia said softly, “The backers are all important figures of the consortiums. Some of them might appear like a father figure to the celebrities on the surface, but in reality…”
The entourage came to a stop at the front of Olivia.
The female singer did not even get out and only asked virtual-novel.net assistant to open the door of the minivan for her. She looked at Olivia and said, “Are you the bodyguard this time?”
Olivia nodded. “Yes, I am.”
The female singer started sizing up Olivia. When virtual-novel.net saw the ring on virtual-novel.net finger, virtual-novel.net giggled. “How gaudy.”
Olivia was stunned.
What kind of upbringing did virtual-novel.net have to call other people gaudy to their faces?
What!
Did celebrities not have parents to teach them manners?!
However, what virtual-novel.net did not know was that in show business, when someone started throwing their weight around, it would make any observer feel like their intelligence had been insulted. For example, during a gala, some female celebrities would stay up for several nights in a row just to plot how to get the centermost seat.
That was an industry no one could make sense of.
Olivia held back virtual-novel.net anger and did not retort. She said calmly, “I’ll be the one in charge of protecting you for the duration of this tour. Along the way, if any security risks arise, please follow my instructions to the letter. Only then will your safety not be compromised.”
These words were very familiar to Olivia. After all, virtual-novel.net had said the same thing to many of the big shots of the Radianz Consortium in the past.
The female singer glanced at Olivia before turning virtual-novel.net head to Milo. “And who is he?”
“He’s my assistant,” Olivia said.
The female singer said in disdain, “How unrefined! His clothes aren’t even ironed, and virtual-novel.net looks so unsophisticated like he’s a student.”
Olivia was secretly amused.
It was fine that this female singer tried to provoke her, but offending virtual-novel.net master as well?
Who knew if virtual-novel.net might get into some sort of trouble in the future?
Even though virtual-novel.net master might seem quite amiable now, his fearsomeness was something that was already fucking legendary.
The female singer continued, “Why did you bring an assistant with you? I didn’t hear the person who accepted our mission request bring it up.”
When Olivia heard the other party referring to “the Silkshade House” as “the person who accepted the mission request”, virtual-novel.net realized virtual-novel.net did not seem to know what the Silkshade House was capable of.
Olivia explained, “I’m a sniper. He’s my assistant and also my spotter.”
The female singer got a little interested. “You’re actually a sniper?”
But that was as far as virtual-novel.net interest went. Milo took a sudden step forward, like virtual-novel.net had something to say.
Olivia was cheering in virtual-novel.net head.
Here virtual-novel.net comes!
Master said virtual-novel.net only needed to say something to the other party to make virtual-novel.net change virtual-novel.net attitude immediately.
Milo smiled and said, “Do you know Miriam?”
According to Milo’s thinking, if this person was from the Saboteurs, virtual-novel.net would definitely know about Miriam. After all, Miriam was one of the most important figures in the Saboteurs.
The female singer frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Milo looked around. Perhaps it was not convenient for virtual-novel.net to speak as there were too many people around. In that case, virtual-novel.net would have to wait for virtual-novel.net to tell virtual-novel.net in private.
He whispered to the female singer, “I’m in Room 1009.”
Olivia was stunned.
How awesome was virtual-novel.net master?
He actually gave a celebrity his room number on their first meeting?
Was this a hint?
No! This was as direct as it could get!
The female singer frowned. “Your assistant doesn’t look half-bad, but he’s too unkempt, and there’s something wrong with his brain too!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, the female singer got virtual-novel.net assistant to close the minivan’s door. Then the entourage drove towards the hotel in the black market.
Olivia looked at virtual-novel.net dazed master and nearly laughed out loud. “So what Master meant when you said you had a way to deal with virtual-novel.net was to give virtual-novel.net an open invitation to your room?”
Milo’s face darkened. “No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak, y’know.”
Milo was not too sure if this female singer was really from the Saboteurs anymore.
He could only wait until nighttime to see if virtual-novel.net would come to his room and tell virtual-novel.net the truth. If Miriam knew virtual-novel.net was still alive, virtual-novel.net would definitely rush over immediately. Therefore, if this female singer were really from the Saboteurs, virtual-novel.net would surely make contact with virtual-novel.net as soon as possible.
Olivia spun around and whispered to Milo, “Master, virtual-novel.net said that I’m gaudy. Do you think I’m gaudy?”
Milo took a look at Olivia’s hand and saw ten shining rings on virtual-novel.net fingers. He sighed and said, “She isn’t wrong to say so…. Of course, I’m still on your side in other aspects. That female celebrity really is a little pretentious…”
The pretentiousness was probably referring to how the other party did not even get out of the van and ordered others to do things for her. This sort of behavior was a real turnoff.
Olivia quietly removed the rings and carefully stuffed them back into virtual-novel.net pocket. “I think all of you just don’t know how to appreciate what’s nice!”
When the two of them returned to the hotel, the female singer’s assistant was already waiting for them in the lobby.
When the assistant saw the two of them, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Our boss can be a little cranky sometimes. If both of you were offended, please forgive us.”
Olivia’s anger subsided a little. “That’s more like it.”
Then the middle-aged male assistant smiled and said, “However, there’s a confidentiality agreement here that we need both of you to sign. Oh right, Ms. Steele, while we’ve hired you as our bodyguard this time, it’s actually more for the sake of showcasing our status. Please do not interfere too much with the boss’ schedule.”
