Chapter 158: The Storm at the Ball

Gold Sea Regency International Hotel.

Inside this five-star hotel, a high-end masquerade party was being held.

Those eligible to attend this masquerade ball were upper-class people, and they were all under 40 years old.

The males were mainly eligible bachelors, wealthy men who’d returned from abroad, or second-generation heirs.

The threshold for the females was slightly lower. However, there was a prerequisite. They had to look outstanding without plastic surgery.

As a result, many girls did not hesitate to spend a fortune to prepare themselves for this ball for the sake of entering a wealthy family.

The masquerade ball was in progress. In the grand and luxurious hall, the chandelier above their heads shone with a faint purple light. It was flickering, and together with the elegant jazz music, gave off a dreamy feeling.

The real and fake socialites were dressed beautifully in luxurious gowns and adorned with jewels.

The fake socialites held their glasses and strolled elegantly around the dance floor. Their beautiful eyes wandered around as they looked for prey.

When it was about 11 PM, Qin Chuan walked out of the presidential suite, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the level where the masquerade ball was held.

He was dressed casually in slippers, an ordinary white t-shirt, and a pair of khaki linen Bermudas.

Initially, he did not intend to attend such a ball. However, he thought that he had never experienced such a high-class party before. Since he had the chance now, he came out of curiosity to take a look.

Ding!

The elevator stopped.

The entrance to the ball was facing the elevator door, less than 20 meters away.

Qin Chuan walked over.

There were two staff members at the entrance.

They noticed Qin Chuan, and upon seeing his ordinary attire, they couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

This was a five-star hotel. Even the worst rooms cost more than a thousand yuan per night.

Those who were not wealthy definitely won’t stay in such a high-class hotel.

But that person was dressed so ordinarily. No matter how one looked at it, he did not look like someone who could afford a stay here.

Thus, one of the staff members walked towards Qin Chuan.

“Hello, sir!” The staff bowed slightly and greeted him politely.

After all, he worked in a five-star hotel and had been specially trained. His service attitude was still good.

When the staff member bent over, he suddenly saw the slippers Qin Chuan was wearing.

This was a pair of slippers specially made for guests in the presidential suite.

From this, he could tell that the young man dressed in ordinary clothes had an extraordinary background. At the very least, he was a wealthy man.

Thankfully, there was nothing wrong with my tone and attitude just now.

The staff member secretly rejoiced and heaved a long sigh of relief. However, he was also so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Chuan indifferently glanced at him as he casually asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Sir, I’m here to ask if you need any service.” The staff immediately smiled.

Qin Chuan immediately replied, “I’m here to attend the masquerade ball. It shouldn’t be over yet, right?”

The staff immediately replied, “Sir, the masquerade ball usually lasts until 2AM.”

“Oh!” Qin Chuan nodded his head and handed the invitation to this staff.

“There shouldn’t be a problem with the invitation, right?”

“No problem.” The staff member bowed respectfully.

After which, Qin Chuan put on his mask and walked into the ballroom.

His arrival instantly attracted a lot of attention.

After all, his attire was too unconventional.

Everyone was dressed in luxurious gowns, and he was the only one wearing simple streetwear. Furthermore, it was a very ordinary outfit.

However, most people did not look down on him.

They all knew very well that the men who could attend this ball were not simple.

Someone couldn’t sneak in.

“Look at that guy. Are you guys interested?”

A few fake socialites whispered to each other on the dance floor.

“I’d forget it.”

A woman in a purple V-neck dress rolled her eyes.

She analyzed, “Look at his fashion. He’s dressed so casual even at a ball of this level. He must be very stingy. What can I get from him?”

“I can’t tell anything from his clothes alone. I think you can only tell after gaining a deeper understanding of him.”

“Men! They are all animals that think with their nether regions, every single one.” Someone else said.

“I heard that many rich people now live a simple life. The more low-key they are dressed, the more impressive they are.

“I observed him carefully just now. Did you notice his slippers?”

These people looked over.

“What about his slippers? They look ordinary! I don’t see any branded logos.”

“You’re blind if you can’t even see this.”

“Stop beating around the bush and tell us!”

“Those are slippers specially custom-made for the presidential suite.

“A presidential suite costs at least 100,000 yuan per night. He had to be wealthy!”

“What if they’re fake?”

“Who would be so free to make fake slippers? What if no one recognizes it? Wouldn’t that be useless?”

“You’re right.”

Everyone immediately understood.

As for the lady in the purple dress, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a mountain of gold.

“Sisters, let me go and explore!” She immediately picked up her glass and excitedly walked towards Qin Chuan.

Presently, Qin Chuan was seated in a booth.

He only came here to experience the atmosphere of the upper-class society and did not want to interact with others.

Right then, the lady in the purple dress walked up to him.

“Hello, sir. Is there anyone sitting opposite you?” the socialite asked.

Qin Chuan glanced at her, and from the look in her eyes, he could tell that she had a motive.

Qin Chuan didn’t want trouble, so he politely replied, “I’m sorry, there’s already someone sitting there.”

The socialite was shocked.

She saw that Qin Chuan had just sat down. How could there be anyone else?

He was obviously rejecting her.

The socialite felt a little disappointed.

“Sir, can I get your number?” She did not give up. She still wanted to try her luck.

At the same time, she bent down on purpose to fully display her pride in her upper body.

But she had misjudged Qin Chuan.

Even when he saw the fair peaks, his heart remained as still as water.

“I don’t think there’s a need for that.” Qin Chuan smiled as he directly rejected her.

Upon hearing this, the lady’s body trembled, and all her hopes were dashed.

“Then… I apologize for disturbing you.”

She knew that there was no need for her to remain here, so she quickly left.

Back with the females, once they saw that her face was as black as a pot, they knew that this plain and simple youth must be very difficult to deal with.

However, to them, the more difficult he was, the more complicated his background. This would arouse their fighting spirit.

Thus, someone immediately walked towards him confidently.

However, she quickly returned with her tail between her legs.

This situation would repeat itself, several people took their turn, but there was no result.

“Sisters, forget it. This person is very difficult to deal with. Let’s find someone else!”

In the end, they chose to give up.

And because Qin Chuan had experienced the atmosphere of high society, it was time for him to leave.

Just as he was about to stand up and leave, a man suddenly grabbed the armrest of his seat with a pained expression.

Qin Chuan frowned.

In the next moment, the man fell to the ground with a thud. His body shook violently as if he had been electrocuted.
