Chapter 1198:
Bryan checked his phone, responding to a few messages before putting it away and opening the door to exit.
“Let’s use the back door,” Bryan said. Having been to the club before, Bryan knew about the small door behind
the bar. Raymond exited the car and quickly caught up with Bryan. The club was lively, with occasional singing
and chatter filling the air.
From their vantage point on the second floor, Bryan had a clear view of the entrance below. He leaned against
the railing, crossing his arms, intently watching the entrance.
As night fell, the bar grew more crowded.
“This isn’t right,” Raymond said, his voice laced with concern. “Milford usually shows up in the afternoon, but...”
Raymond’s anxiety grew, wondering if he had misread Milford’s patterns. Bryan took a deep breath, about to

classmates.
Bryan had no idea the gathering was being held there. The coincidence was unexpected.
“Presley said you'd show up, but we didn’t think you'd actually come! Guess her word carries more weight than

Soren clapped Bryan on the shoulder and gestured towards the private room beside them. “Delighted you could
make it, and even more so that you're early. Con in.”
Bryan furrowed his brow and glanced at Raymond.
Raymond immediately understood. He nodded, stepped back from the crowd, and kept his eyes on the club’s
entrance. Bryan was enthusiastically ushered by Soren and others into the private room.
The private room was spacious, designed to hold about sixty people and equipped with various entertainment
options. Karaoke was just one of the standard features. Waiters stood ready by the gaming and billiard tables.
The bottles of wine on the table caught the colorful lights flickering throughout the room.
Since Bryan was there, he decided to make the most of it. With Soren nearby, Bryan found himself at the center
of the sofa. He unbuttoned and rolled up his sleeves, holding a glass of wine and chatting with the people around
him.
