Quill specifically stated that the people who came that evening had to be checked carefully. Those without an invitation letter were banned from entering. Even if there was an invitation, their identity must still be verified.
These things usually happened at banquets, but for Maddox, it seemed a little too targeted for him to feel uncomfortable.
After all, Quill did not like Maddox.
Sam had heard of the news in advance, so he had everything arranged properly for Maddox.
The mask was used as a token, and there was already someone waiting at the entrance. As soon as Maddox got out of the car, he was immediately arranged to enter.
Of course, connections and wealth are two things that can help in any situation.
"Sir, I won't be accompanying you anymore." Sam took a look at the scene outside. After looking around, his eyes locked on someone, then opened his mouth. It was rare of him to say flattering words. "Tonight, I wish you success in getting a wife."
Maddox felt as if it was a long time since he had heard the term 'wife'.
As soon as Maddox got out of the car, for some reason, probably because of his aura, the group of people all stared at him. Under the light, the mask on his face was shining and dazzling.
"Then who is this? Why is he wearing a mask?"
"That's not right. I didn't hear that today would be a masquerade? Or did we miss that?"
"First of all, masquerade or not, he is so handsome... Both his height and the proportion of his figure are to kill for. Oh man, although he's wearing a mask, I feel... Those thin lips of his are already enough to make me fall in love with him."
"Who is he? Do any of you know him? I really want to know if he has a girlfriend."
"Anyway, we are here to attend a banquet. Let's go in and find a chance to speak to him."
After the girls finished their giggling and gossiping, they made their decisions happily.
The mask was a token. As soon as Maddox got out of the car, someone came up to him immediately. Since Sam did not reveal Maddox's true identity, Tony, the man was smiling cheekily at him.
"Hey bro, you're here. I've been waiting for you. Let's go."
After that, he wanted to pat Maddox's back.
However, just as he stretched out his hand, the unmistakable chill almost knocked him off his feet. Intimidated by Maddox's coolness, Tony unconsciously shirked his hand back.
Although he was wearing a mask, Maddox's eyes were as dark as the night. He was like a deadly beast crouching in the dark, giving off a proud and mighty aura.
Such a person...
Tony, who was about to escort Maddox, suddenly lost his cool. He looked at the person in front of him, with a strong physique and a domineering look. Why did he look so much like Mr. Yardley, whom he had seen from afar before?
But if it was truly Mr. Yardley, why would he have to attend the banquet by bribing for an invitation?
"Why are you not walking?"
Just as he was lost in thought and confusion, Maddox's cold voice rang out. Tony came back to his senses and nodded immediately. "Oh, please follow me."
He brought Maddox to the entrance and handed an invitation for inspection.
The guards at the door were especially strict about today's inspection after heeding Quill's orders. However, they did not know the real reason, thinking that Mr. Hanover was probably afraid of strangers sneaking in. So, even if they checked strictly, it was impossible for them to know everyone.
Hence, when they laid eyes on Maddox, they were only puzzled that he was wearing a mask.
Tony explained hastily, "My friend likes being mysterious. He's like this every time he goes to a banquet. Hurry up, I've been waiting for him here for a long time. You saw it too just now."
"And we have an invitation. If you don't let us in, I will complain about you to Mr. Hanover."
