Chapter 410 It's Very Dangerous Here

They arrived at Star Venue. Before getting off the car, Lucia saw a bright light outside the window. In

Star

Venue, as its name suggested, all kinds of lights were turned on, sparkling like a galaxy with bright

stars when

it was getting dark.

A lot of cars were parked on both sides of the gate, and all the guests entered through the gate in

an orderly

manner.

After pushing open the door and getting off the car, Lucia walked towards the gate with August.

Thinking of

her relationship with August, she consciously slowed down and kept her distance from him.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, August suddenly slowed down. He turned his head

slightly to look.

at her and said, "You're walking so slowly. Don't you want to go?"

Lucia was slightly surprised and quickly shook her head in denial while quickening her pace.

Unexpectedly,

such a subtle movement of hers was noticed by August.

She didn't want to go with August. But when she thought that it was working and the video was in

his hands,

she had to grit her teeth and compromise.

When they walked into Star Venue, she found that all the layouts in the hall were designed in a

minimalist

style. At first glance, it was bright and comfortable. There were white round tables at intervals in the

hall for

the guests to stand at for drinking and chatting.

Lucia's attention was so focused on the layout of the scene that she didn't even notice that as soon

as they

entered the hall, the eyes of the people around were all fixed on them.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman were the most eye-catching and beautiful scenery when

they appeared. More importantly, August was like a walking business card, attracting a lot of

attention wherever he

went.

Someone came up, greeted August politely, and chatted with him. Lucia stood by, listening to their

greetings

with little interest.

In the next hour, through August's introduction, Lucia received business cards from many well-

known

directors and professionals in the industry. After walking around, she also met several like-minded

people,

and she gradually became more interested.

"Ms. Mitchell, I hope there will be opportunities for us to work together in the future.”

"Okay, there will be a chance.”

After taking another business card, Lucia nodded and said goodbye to a guest. When the guest

turned to leave,

she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a long time just now, she was now so thirsty that she grabbed a glass of pale

liquid nearby

and drank it in one gulp. The sweet taste made her swallow it without suspecting anything. But the

next

second, when her throat felt a tingle, she suddenly realized that it was wine!

But it was too late. She had swallowed the first sip of wine and poured the second into her mouth.

She could

neither spit it out nor swallow it. She froze in place and didn't know what to do

When August saw her bulging cheeks on the side, he couldn't help smiling. He sneered and asked,

"You're

being cute?”

His words almost made her squirt the liquid in her mouth. She took a deep breath and swallowed it.

The spicy

taste made her frown. She rolled her eyes at August, said nothing, and walked quickly towards the

drink.

counter nearby.

Picking up a glass of freshly squeezed juice, she took several sips in a row and only then did the

taste of alcohol

in her mouth and throat go down.

Feeling the gaze from the side, Lucia raised her eyes and met August's black eyes. He was smiling

faintly with at

hint of playfulness in his eyes. Lucia instantly felt annoyed. She took a deep breath, rolled her eyes

at him, and

deliberately looked away from him

"Ms. Mitchell." There suddenly came to a clear male voice from behind and Lucia was slightly

startled. She

turned back subconsciously, and saw a handsome young waiter, "Hello, this is something a guest

asked me to

bring to you."*

Lucia lowered her eyes and saw the small box he was holding in his hand. A little surprised, she

looked up at

him and asked, "Who is it?"

"I'm not sure. He just handed the box to me over there.” The waiter looked in one direction and

gestured it to

her.

Lucia raised her eyes and followed his gaze. There were a group of people over there, but none of

them were

faces she was familiar with.

The doubts in her heart became more and more complicated. Lucia took a deep breath, hesitated

for a moment,

took the small box, and said to the waiter, "Thank you."

The waiter smiled and nodded at her before he turned and walked away.

Lucia slowly opened the box with some hesitation. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a piece of jade

with a clear

color and excellent texture. Apart from the jade, there was a small folded card beside it.

Lucia hesitated for a moment, picked up the card, and opened it. It was a line of words, [Ms.

Mitchell, you're

really beautiful. I wonder if there is a chance for me to get to know you.”

Looking at what was in her hand, Lucia was even more confused.

Was it sent by one of her suitors? But why was there no contact information attached? What was

even stranger

was that there was a black logo of a spider web on the right side of the card, which was beautiful,

unique, and

dark but chilling.

Lucia hadn't figured out who sent it when a man suddenly appeared in front of her. August walked

up to her,

glanced over the things in her hand, and took the box and card away without saying a word.

When he saw the piece of jade, he frowned slightly, finding it somehow familiar. He casually opened

the folded

card. When he saw the content on it, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He squeezed the card in his hand tightly, and his eyes finally landed on the small logo in the lower

right corner.

Two seconds later, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his face was scary cold..

Lucia wanted to say something. But when she felt his coldness, she was a little shocked and couldn't

help but

ask, "What's wrong?"

Was there something wrong with this box?

August was silent. He picked up the piece of jade and looked at it again and again. His eyes turned

cold and

sharp, which made people shudder.

Finally, he pursed his lips and said, "Where did it come from?"

This thing was not a gift from a suitor, but a warning and ultimatum! Lucia didn't know it, but he

knew!

That logo was the icon of the organization under Mr. Denko’s command. As for that piece of jade, if

he

remembered correctly, it was the piece that Mr. Denko had been wearing around his neck!

Now he took it off and even sent it to Lucia. He was doing it with ulterior motives!

But Lucia and Mr. Denko had nothing to do with each other at all. Could it be because of him?

Thinking of it, August clenched his fists tightly, raised his eyes, and looked around with sharp eyes.

But looking around, he

found nothing!

They were now in the light, and Mr. Denko was hiding in the dark. This state was the most

dangerous. Once

Mr. Denko wanted to attack them, it couldn't be prevented.

Looking up at the bewildered woman next to him, August didn't have time to explain so much. He

grabbed her

wrist and walked straight out.

Lucia's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What's going on? Where are you taking me?"

"I'm taking you out of here!"

August paused, turned to look at her with a terrifying look in his eyes, and said solemnly, "It's very

dangerous

here."

Hearing his words, Lucia was stunned. As far as she could remember, August had never been afraid

of

anything, let alone any danger. But he said it was dangerous here. Could something happen?

Before she could figure it out, August pulled her and left the hall of Star Venue under others’

strange gazes.
