Flynn ! Toast! Toast someone shouted enthusiastically, their voice brimming with excitement.

"S! Mr.

Flynn ! Cheers! Cheers! " everyone was shouting.

The crowd followed suit, their cheers echoing through the lively room.

Yet, after a while, someone noticed an awkward truth "Wait, where's Mr.

Flynn ! " a guest asked, puzzled "Yeah, where is he? I don't see him anywhere" another chimed in, craning their neck to search the room It was only then that the crowd realized the main attraction of the evening - Mr.

Flynn - was nowhere to be found.

"Hey, Manager Wu ! " A guest teased, raising a brow" How can Mr.

Josiah be the star of the right if he isn't even here ? "Hey, Mr.

Whiter someone teased, raising an eyebrow.

"How can Mr.

Flynn be the star of the night if he isn't even here ? " "Exactly! Are you trying to trick us? another guest added, their tone skeptical "Maybe S is too much of a treasure - a pearl so precious that he's been hidden away, someone joked, eliciting a few scattered chuckles, Henry White, the manager, hurried to calm the room, waving his hands nervously.

"No, no, it's not like that Letexplain - Mr.

Flynn couldn't make it tonight, but he left us a message." Henry hesitated, a cold sweat forming on his brow.

He couldn't possibly reveal the secret agreement an arrangement ensuring Mr.

If he let that slip, he'd risk offending the other guests.

The Flynn family may be powerful, Henry thought anxiously, but these people arent to be trifled with either "What messige ? " soncone pressed, suspicion creeping into their voice.

Such an explanation clearly lacked persuasiveness.

"Con, Mr.

White, How can someone bid if they're not even here ? " another voice prodded Someone asked, "Isn't the rule at Maze that you have to be present for it to count? " The comment struck a nerve, sparking a wave of agreement.

"That's right I Absolutely! " Among the most vocal was Adrian, the CEO of the Grandeur Group who had been second to Josiah in tonight's bidding.

White had suddenly announced that Mr.

Flynn had won.

"Mr.

White, Adrian said, stepping forward with a sly smile.

"If everyone here agrees, shouldn't the rules be followed fairly?" Mr.

White froze, his heart pounding.

Sweat trickled down his temples, betraying his panic.

How could this be happening? he thought, utterly dismayed.

As the vehicle slowed to a stop, he gazed our the window, his dark eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

"Zaid he called out to his driver "Yes, Mr.

" Mr.

Flynn, where are you going? Lettake you there !! There's no need," Josiah said firmly, shaking his head.

Without another word, he slid into the driver's seat and drove off, leaving a bewildered Zaid behind.

At the next intersection, Josiah made a sharp left turn - a direction that didn't lead to the Silver Beach.

Where is Mr.

Flynn going? Zaid wondered.

"Do you think Mr.

Flynn knows you've been throwing his naround to bluff us? " Adrian bellowed.

"Get out of my way! " Henry barely regained his footing before Adrian barged into the dressing room Steadying himself, he caught up, as Adrian had already charged into the dressing room.

Bennett, please.
