Chapter 19 Elite VIP

Charm Bar

Charm Bar, the most thriving entertainment venue in Casier.

It wasn't about the number of visitors, but rather the wealth and influence of those who frequented the place.

One couldn't get into the Charm Bar without a membership card. They had a membership system, so it was completely impossible.

At 10 PM, Catherine appeared at the entrance of the bar.

She was still dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, but now she wore a black baseball cap almost completely covered her face.

Upon reaching the entrance, Catherine was stopped by the security guard.

The security guard glanced at Catherine, his astonishment evident. Were all female students nowadays so alluring?

Regardless of her allure, rules had to be followed.

"Miss, this place operates on a membership system. Without a card, you cannot enter, sorry."

Card?

Catherine furrowed her brows, remembering something Ronin had sent her via drone just an hour ago.

She checked her pocket and found the black and gold-tinged card. She then handed it to the security guard.

The card recognition device at the entrance beeped automatically.

"Welcome, elite VIP!"

Catherine confidently walked inside as the entrance barrier lifted, without requiring the security guard's assistance.

The security guard slowly recovered from his earlier shock only after she left.

He hadn't been mistaken. That girl had been holding an elite VIP card.

This club was the most exclusive in Casier, operating on a membership system and having different membership levels.

He had been a security guard at the club's entrance for three years, but he had never seen that card before. Since the club opened, only three of those black and gold cards had been given out.

Unexpectedly, this young girl turned out to be a top-tier member. Such a card was only possessed by influential individuals with great power.

After entering, Catherine found a seat casually.

Her only goal tonight was to find the traitor Joseph and retrieve the chip.

Based on Ronin's information, Joseph would be arriving soon, and all Catherine had to do was wait patiently.

While the dance floor was filled with vibrant and captivating outfits, Catherine's plain attire made her stand out even more.

Even when she sat quietly in a corner, people still took notice of her.

Occasionally, when she inadvertently lifted her head, her exquisite beauty had the power to captivate anyone.

Catherine knew that people were constantly evaluating her, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

She seemed to be accustomed to such attention.

Catherine didn't drink alcohol. She only asked for a glass of soda water.

A few minutes later, Catherine saw a familiar figure flashing by in the corridor ahead.

Catherine immediately caught sight of it and stood up, walking towards it.

Meanwhile, the onlookers shifted their gaze as well, keeping a watchful eye on Catherine.

As Catherine walked past, she happened to be within the line of sight of the second-floor VIP area.

Unlike the bustling atmosphere on the first floor, the second floor was a reserved space exclusively for the elite clientele.

Triston spotted Catherine and immediately became intrigued. He glanced at the man on the sofa behind him, who exuded a relaxed and playful aura with an enigmatic charm. Excitedly, he exclaimed, "Mr. Duncan, doesn't she resemble your new fiancée?"

Branden remained unfazed, his eyes devoid of interest as he kept his gaze fixed on Catherine. He didn't even spare a glance at Triston.

"Mr. Duncan, did you hear what I said?" Triston persisted.

Paxton, standing nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Triston. Even he recognized Catherine, so how could Mr. Duncan fail to recognize her? Was Triston simply a fool?

Catherine followed Joseph into a curved hallway and found multiple rooms inside, but he had already vanished.

Finding Joseph would take time, but the person following her caught up from behind. A vulgar voice from behind made her feel disgusted.

"Hey there, little beauty."
