The banquet hall

Lucien then walked away after he had made his unlucky victim look like a homeless man without shelter and clothes.

Well, that's what anybody lucky enough to see him would think.

And if the man suddenly wakes up and finds himself in such a position….Then Lucien would be far away from here before that happens.

Stepping into the unconscious man's car, Lucien turned the key a few times until he could finally hear the rumbling engine of the vehicle.

"Now let's see what makes this party so special" Lucien said as he drove in through the gates.

Lucien drove his way through the gates and was greeted with the image of a huge garden in the compound of the hotel.

Fortunately, he wasn't here to compliment the starshine hotel in its taste of portraying the luxurious lifestyle.

So Lucien quickly made his way out of the garden and finally arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

A valet attendant quickly rushed to his side saying.

"May I monsieur".

"Of course. And make sure that I don't see any scratch on it" Lucien said as he handed the key to the valet attendant.

Since he will be playing as a rich young man in a very prestigious event, he might as well do it well.

And besides, the car that he has highjacked which would sooner or later be returned was a Porsche 928. Which made his words very understandable because after all, it is worth a lot of money.

But the valet attendant who had parked more expensive and lesser inexpensive cars took such words to heart as each of the cars was several times worth more than his monthly salary.

Lucien then mixed in with the several streams of people making their way through the front door.

"Excuse me, sir. Your ticket please" The security guard said as soon as it had reached Lucien's turn.

"Here" Lucien said as he handed out a ticket he had found in the suit which belonged to the unconscious man.

And surprisingly, the ticket designs looked the same as the ticket he had retrieved from the dead ghoul.

And although he was tempted to show the security guard the other ticket, he didn't because it was too risky.

Especially when he knows nothing about the event except for its time and location.

And thus decided to present the security guard with the unconscious man's ticket.

After checking the ticket, the security guard looked at him and said.

"Alright sir, have a nice night" The security guard clipped out a section of the ticket and gave the rest to Lucien.

Lucien walked in and was once again taken out by the decorative halls of the Starshine hotel.

Making his way passed the reception table, Lucien momentary halted his steps when he found out that he didn't know where to go from here.

Lucien once again looked at the ticket that has just been reduced to half its size before looking at the one that he had picked up in the abandoned building.

"Hosted by the Durand family. Time- 8:00 pm. Venue-25th floor of the Starshine hotel"

"Hosted by the wolves of France.Time-11:00 pm. Venue- Starshine hotel".

He could finally see what was wrong as he looked at both tickets. One had the exact place where the event would be taken place, while the other didn't.

Thinking about the situation that he had found himself in, Lucien exhaled in relief.

Because at first, he felt that it was too easy. After all, what he was dealing with was a group of supernatural monsters, so wouldn't it be easy if just anyone could enter or barge in on their party.

At most, he knew where the venue was, but not the exact place where it will be taken place.

So even if he were to call the organisation and ask for help in searching the whole building, before they even begin to ransack the place, those monsters might have already escaped.

And besides, this was the Starshine hotel. One of the most luxurious hotels in Paris. If the organization decides to search the whole building for any reason just because of a ticket that they have as evidence, he was sure that it will definitely cause a commotion and that wasn't in line with one of the organisations' agendas which was to be anonymous to anyone and everything in their surroundings.

Well, it was not like he planned to call the organization anyway, because he is currently in suspension and if he were to make a call asking for backup with such clams, he was sure that the organization would gladly punish him considering how strict their rules are.

"Well, it isn't all that bad. Let's start with the 25th floor" Lucien said as he cleared his mind and pushed his thoughts and worries to the back of his head.

If he just keeps standing there and doesn't do anything, he won't be able to reach anywhere or accomplish anything.

So he might as well start from somewhere and see where it would take him next.

After all, it was just one hotel, surely he would be able to at least find a clue of where the event will take place before his time runs out.

Making his way into the elevator, Lucien pushed the button with the number written 25 on it and watched as the closed, taking him to his destination.

"Ding!!" "Ding!!!"

The first thing that greeted Lucien when the doors of the elevator opened once more was the sight of an empty white hall with several beautiful paintings on the walls, while different sculptures in various forms and sizes stood by the side.

Getting out of the elevator as he walked towards the end of it, it didn't take more than a few seconds before Lucien was greeted by the sight of two security guards guarding the door at each side.

The security guards looked at each other before looking at Lucien saying "Your ticket sir".
