Chapter 174

Tradodist talked much about Sienna. They won’t have to work for the next three days. “Less plan for a good journey,” Maddox agreed. “We will count on you for the next three days.”

“Let’s strive for more prize money in the next three days. If possible, we won’t have to worry about money for the rest of this show,” Smule responded. “I chose the right team.”

He and Ju had been mystified by this show for two days. As she was now injured and couldn’t continue the rest of the journey, she would be replaced. The directors just had a word with both Quintus and Jimmy. He praised their performance and then invited them to be the regular cast members of the show. The next step was to sign the contract if they agreed.

So, he asked, “Do you guys like to stay in the same hotel for the next three days? What do you think if we change the hotel every day?”

Maddox said, “Let’s keep changing. Our theme is fun. We can show our viewers the different star hotels of Darmechia.”

Quintus smiled. “No objection.”

Phoebe chuckled. “Settled then.” She opened the app on her phone, chose a few star hotels, and let Maddox and Quintus choose three out of them. They intended to spend one night in each hotel; the room charge was about three thousand dollars per night.

From the very beginning, they had decided that fun was the pattern of their journey. They planned to show the viewers an exciting and expensive journey. On the contrary, Lexie and her teammates had chosen shoestring travel. They would make very good use of every penny they earned.

The two teams were distinct, so many viewers changed the channel from one to the other from time to time. Both teams were interesting. There were many shows about shoestring travel, so Phoebe’s team had more supporters than Lexie’s. Additionally, Phoebe was more popular than Lexie, so there were more viewers in her channel than in Lexie’s.

Because Sienna was sent to the hospital, only her fans stayed in her channel with those of her teammates. The other viewers had shifted their attention to the other two teams. Now, Sienna’s team had the least number of viewers in the show.

Phoebe and her teammates began the discussion of their dinner that night after that of the hotel. After a thorough discussion, they decided to go to a Michelin restaurant that night. Phoebe sent the restaurant’s name and address to Lexie and made an appointment with their teammates. Then, she took a taxi to the hotel with her teammates. They would visit a beacon by the sea later. It was a tourist attraction in Darmechia and looked beautiful.

Their plan included a good rest at the hotel and afternoon tea later. They would go to the beacon with Lexie’s team after dinner. Place and her teammates walked into the hotel. In the lobby of the hotel, they saw Soren and a man with a pale face checking in.

Phoebe thought to herself, “As expected, he showed up.” She didn’t think that Soren had chosen this hotel randomly. “He must have watched the show and deliberately chosen this hotel,” she thought. Phoebe looked at Soren, and nobody could tell from her bland expression what she was thinking.

Søren noticed Phoebe and flashed her a friendly smile, but did not walk over or initiate a conversation with her. Right then, the receptionist had helped Soren and his companion check in. Soren took the room card and left with his companion.

Phoebe then shifted her attention from the two men to the receptionist and checked in together with her companions. Her teammates agreed to enjoy the afternoon tea on the hotel’s rooftop in half an hour.

Phoebe entered her hotel room, took the coffee out of her luggage, and made three cups of coffee. Right after the three cups of coffee were placed on the table, there was a knock on the door. Phoebe opened the door and saw Soren and his companion.

Phoebe invited her guests into the room. “Please come in.” Then, she turned around, walked to the sofa, and sat down. Soren walked in and closed the door with his companion. They walked to the sofa and sat opposite Phoebe. They were shocked when they saw the three cups of coffee on the table.

Soren asked with a smile, “You knew that we would come?”

Phoebe picked up a cup of coffee and handed it to Soren. “I guessed so.” Her clues included the warning from Soren, the evil energy during the racing game, and the encounter in the hotel lobby. The live stream paused when the cast members were in their respective hotel rooms. In other words, that was the best opportunity for Soren to approach Phoebe.

Soren took the cup of coffee. “Ms. Jenkins, you are so smart.”

“Do you know me?” It was a question, but his tone was confident. Phoebe didn’t play dumb this time. She nodded. “Yes. You’re the elder brother of Brenda and Reece.” It was pointless for her to play dumb now.

Soren chuckled. “You do know me.” He then joked, “My sister often speaks ill of me, doesn’t she?”

Phoebe raised her eyebrows. “No, she doesn’t.”

Brenda had complained of Soren sometimes. Phoebe didn’t want to beat around the bush. “Why did you come? Out with it.”

Instantly, Soren was aware that Phoebe was quite straightforward. He introduced his companion to Phoebe. “This is Jaden Stuart, the leader of Squad One of Special Force. He wanted to see you today.”

Jaden stretched out his hand. “Hello, Ms. Jenkins!” Phoebe shook hands with Jaden. She found his hand as cold as ice. She didn’t show surprise on her face because she could tell that this stranger was special. She looked at Jaden and asked, “Why?”

Jaden went straight to the point. “I came for a favor, Ms. Jenkins.” “We have been chasing after a bad man. He arrived in Darmechia yesterday, so we came.”

Phoebe raised her eyebrows. “Are you suggesting that the man you want is the one who used the evil energy against me in the racing game today?”

A smile appeared on Jaden’s pale face. “Bingo, Mrs. Jenkins.” “You were fine, and he got a backlash.” “I believe that you can find his hideout. That is why we are here.”

After the explanation, Jaden covered his mouth and coughed. Phoebe handed a cup of coffee over. “Don’t you know that he is in Darmechia now?”

Jaden took a sip of coffee and explained, “He is sly. He disappeared after he got off the plane.” “All we know is that he came for his target, you.” “We can’t find his hideout.” “We went to the racing game at the news that you were there. However, we couldn’t find him there.” “That’s why Soren warned you.” He then added, “Given your performance in the racing game, you would be fine without his warning.”

It surprised him that Phoebe turned out to be an expert in horoscopes. Phoebe not only solved the problem but also got back at the troublemaker. It was a good opportunity to capture the troublemaker who must have been severely wounded by the backlash. That was why Soren and Jaden had approached Phoebe and asked her for help.

Phoebe smiled. “I see.”
