A Bumpy Road to Power

"Go straight to 800 points."

Dirk Carter said.

Aurora's mouth was so wide it almost couldn't close.

The Empyrean Palace is indeed The Gilded Cage, and she had seen with her own eyes those who spent money like water.

But someone who "spent" eight million all at once, this was her first time seeing.

Not just her; everyone else was the same.

When the number 800 was called out.

The entire audience fell silent.

The face of Entrant No. 4 was filled with envy and jealousy.

Meanwhile, Sheryl Schultz's face showed shock and disbelief.

The young T-Rex didn't dare to move.

His face showed both unwillingness and fear.

At this moment, he had already witnessed the means of the guest in the Cancer Suite.

To go higher, it's not that the money can't be taken out, but it's not worth it.

The host, Geoffrey Sutton, was also very excited.

He called out 800 points several times.

Finally, amidst the silence, he announced that Entrant No. 7 had won the championship of this Flower Beauty Competition.

According to the distribution model of this competition.

The Oiran, Sheryl Schultz, could take 4 million from the auction money, plus a 500,000 bonus.

In other words, she could get 4.5 million all at once.

The workers' wages at the factory were covered.

This also let her breathe a sigh of relief.

Knock, knock, knock.

A series of knocks sounded at the door.

Aurora opened the door.

And saw Basilio Sinclair already standing at the entrance.

The two exchanged a glance.

Basilio Sinclair walked in.

Of course, he was carrying a POS machine in his hand.

"Sir, you are indeed extraordinary. It seems I didn't misjudge you."

Basilio Sinclair said to Dirk Carter.

"I had no intention of participating, it's just that Entrant No. 4 and I have some connections, had to step in."

Dirk Carter humbly said.

Basilio Sinclair glanced at the stage.

He said, "She came to me, pleaded with me to let her participate in this competition, I also informed her regardless of the outcome, she agreed herself, please understand, we at The Empyrean Palace aren't like those places in Helios County, there's never any coercion."

He specifically mentioned Helios County.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "Manager Sinclair, didn't you say you didn't know me initially?"

Basilio Sinclair showed a sincere face.

He said, "Mr. Carter, to tell the truth, at the door, I indeed didn't recognize you, but we at The Empyrean Palace have our channels, just did some cross-referencing, naturally got the results."

"Then don't you find it strange that I can take out eight million?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Basilio Sinclair smiled and said, "The Empyrean Palace never meddles in irrelevant matters, if guests have requests, we ensure absolute confidentiality, on this point, Mr. Carter can rest assured."

Dirk Carter took out a bank card and handed it to Basilio Sinclair.

Said, "The money in here should be enough, if not, I'll have someone bring it over."

"Our boss said even if Mr. Carter doesn't pay, The Empyrean Palace will cover the cost."

Basilio Sinclair said.

Dirk Carter was a bit surprised.

Said, "Hearing that, I'm intrigued to meet your boss."

"The boss said Mr. Carter will be coming to Veridia City soon, so, there will definitely be a chance."

"Oh? Your boss is quite resourceful."

Dirk Carter said.

To know, the notification for Dirk Carter's visit to Veridia City was received just yesterday, yet the boss of The Empyrean Palace had already gotten the news.

The POS machine beeped once.

Then started printing the receipt.

Which means the money on Dirk Carter's card was sufficient.

Though usually, he was quite frugal.

But in reality, Dirk Carter's wealth was already quite substantial.

Not to mention his own secret ventures, his wife Dorothy Zechariah's power was among the top nationwide.

Exaggerating a bit, money to Dirk Carter, is just a number.

After returning the card to Dirk Carter.

Basilio Sinclair said, "Mr. Carter, I'll take you to the room."

"Room? What room?"

Dirk Carter was momentarily puzzled and asked.

Basilio Sinclair smiled and pointed to the hall below, saying, "You are the primary supporter of Entrant No. 4, according to our event rules, for the next 24 hours, Entrant No. 4 is yours, you can use her as you wish."

"No, no, no, Manager Sinclair, I think you misunderstand, I just wanted to help her."

Dirk Carter quickly waved his hand and said.

Basilio Sinclair asked, "So, Mr. Carter, you're refusing Entrant No. 4's service?"

"I refuse!"

Dirk Carter said firmly.

Basilio Sinclair smiled.

Said, "Since Mr. Carter refuses, as per regulations, we should arrange for Entrant No. 4 to serve the second-ranked supporter."

Dirk Carter frowned.

Asked, "So you're saying, if I refuse, she'll still serve someone else?"

Basilio Sinclair shrugged.

Said apologetically, "Sorry Mr. Carter, this is a rule every participant must accept, we at The Empyrean Palace always focus on details, so... whether you refuse or accept, Entrant No. 4 is ours for 24 hours."

This outcome.

Wasn't something Dirk Carter anticipated at the start.

His intention was originally to "protect" Sheryl Schultz; now it seemed, it wasn't feasible.

Instead of handing Sheryl Schultz over to others.

It's better to keep her with himself.

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment, and said, "Manager Sinclair, please take me to the room."

"Sure, Mr. Carter, please follow me."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation.

Following Basilio Sinclair, passing through a dim corridor, then boarding an elevator that required card-swipe access.

The elevator didn't display the floors.

Only displayed letters.

As the elevator door opened.

A door appeared in front of Dirk Carter.

Basilio Sinclair didn't exit the elevator, handed a room card to him, and said, "Mr. Carter, all rooms in The Empyrean are extremely private, if you need anything, you can use the room phone to contact reception, any request can be fulfilled, please wait a moment inside, about ten minutes later, Entrant No. 4 will be over."

"Alright, thank you, Manager Sinclair."

Dirk Carter said.

He was just about to press the elevator to go downstairs.

Suddenly smiled and said, "Oh right, Mr. Carter, forgot to tell you, in any room of The Empyrean, in any venue, there are no hidden cameras, you can be completely at ease."

After leaving behind this sentence.

The elevator started and left.

Pushing open the room door.

What appeared before him was an extremely luxurious living room.

This wasn't like a guest room at all.

It was almost like a villa's living room.

Not only was the space large, but all the facilities were fully equipped.

Behind the curtains, was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Standing in front of the window.

Almost the entire view of Veridia City was in sight.

With a creak.

The door behind was pushed open.

Then, Sheryl Schultz's voice rang out: "Hello, boss, I'm Entrant No. 4."

At this moment, seeing Dirk Carter's back, Sheryl Schultz felt somewhat grateful.

At least judging by the back, he wasn't that kind of nasty old man, already her luck.

Before she came in, she did a lot of mental preparation.

This outcome, was already the best result.
