Chapter 537


    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 ufortable.


    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 apanying 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 ttering


    words. "Tonight, I wish you sess 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 theyid eyes on Maddox, they were only puzzled that he was wearing a mask.


    Tony exined 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 willin about you to Mr. Hanover."


    Tony had a smart mouth; he acted tough but spoke softly, and he quickly passed through with


    Maddox.


    After entering, Tony said happily, "So that''s the end of my task? But... I''m very curious about your


    purpose foring to this banquet..."


    "Don''t ask." A gaze that was as sharp as a knife was thrown at him. Tony was instantly scared and


    did not dare to move. After a while, he coughed and replied hollowly, "Yes, yes, I know..."


    Ignoring him, Maddox looked away and left on his own.


    Tony followed behind quickly and Maddox stopped in his tracks.


    "You''vepleted your mission. You don''t have to follow me," he said coldly.

    Stunned for a while, Tony nodded obediently. "Yes, sure."


    He had no choice but to turn around and walk away hurriedly. After Tony blended with the crowd, he


    turned back and found that Maddox, who was still standing there moments ago, had already


    disappeared.


    "He walked so fast... Tut-tut, why did hee to the banquet tonight?"


    He bribed for an invitation, hired him as a guide, and... even put on a mask.


    Could it be that something was going to happen that night?


    Tony scratched his chin while grinning to himself. Suddenly, he began to look forward to it.


    Maddox''s straight legs flitted him through the floors. The lights that shone down from above his


    masked face seemed even more ethereal and dazzling. Even the servants who passed by him


    would spare him a second nce.


    Maddox wanted to find some time to familiarize himself with the situation here. Furthermore, there


    were too many people at the banquet hall and it was too stuffy for his liking. It was better toe


    out and get some air.


    Finally, he found a ce that resembled a courtyard; it was very quiet andrge.


    There were a few rattan chairs, flowerbeds, and even swings.


    Maddox tugged at his tie. Then, his thin lips curled up subconsciously.


    He didn''t expect Quill to have such a unique taste.


    There was still some time before the banquet began. Maddox chose a chair and sat down.


    There were many people attending the banquet and there were others strolling in the courtyard as


    well. However, Maddox was very far away from them. asionally, he could hear a childish voice


    speaking among them, and he could not help but eavesdrop out of curiosity.


    "Lads anddies, my mommy said that you can''t take photos of me so casually, or you can be sued


    for infringement of privacy."


    A little boy was surrounded by a huge crowd, but on the contrary of being frightened, the child was


    at ease. He had a charming smile and his eyes were just like two ck ss beads, which looked


    particrly innocent and harmless. When he spoke, he was also particrly gentle, sounding like a


    good child.


    However, what he just stated had great lethality.


    The people who took out their mobile phones to take photos all kept their phones away sheepishly


    when they heard his words.


    But there was one who still didn''t give up and she took a picture of him with her mobile phone with a


    ''click''.


    After taking a shot, the person stared at the little boy and grinned, unaware. "Little boy, can you


    change a pose for another picture?"


    The smile on Beanie''s face slowly disappeared and he whispered, "Lady, please delete the photo."


    "Ah, it''s just two pictures. How can you, a mere child, have portraiture rights? Moreover, it''s an


    honor to have people take pictures of you, is it not?" The person who took pictures of him was a


    woman in her early twenties. She was rude and self- entitled when she spoke, clearly paying no


    need to the boy''s words.


    "Let''s take another photo. Come on."


    When the people around her saw her pressing on like this, they too took out their mobile phones


    one after another and started taking photos of Beanie, shing left and right.


    "Didn''t he already tell you to delete the photos?"
