The minutes ticked by as he crept forward, watching as sleek cars, limousines, and even a few exotic vehicles lined up ahead of him. High-profile guests, no doubt.
Eventually, he reached the resort's entrance, where uniformed guards were stationed, efficiently verifying digital tickets.
They moved swiftly, ensuring that only approved guests were allowed in.
As soon as one of the guards caught sight of him through the windshield, his expression changed. He straightened, giving a small salute before stepping forward.
"Good afternoon, boss," the guard greeted with a respectful nod.
Ethan acknowledged him with a tilt of his head. "Busy day, huh?"
The guard let out a short laugh. "You could say that. It's been non-stop since morning."
Ethan smirked. "Good. Means business is booming."
With a wave, the guard motioned him through without the usual verification process.
