Chapter 765
Owen offered a wry smile.
“Let him think whatever he wants. It doesn’t matter anymore. We only collaborate with him occasionally now. By the way, didn’t you mention there was something else you needed to tell me p>
“It’s about what I told you a few days ago the situation with Lawrence Lance and River West p>
“Those guys never give it a rest. What’s their latest move?” Mira asked.
“They’re making a move in the next couple of days. If I had to guess, you’ll be getting an invitation or a formal notice by tomorrow p>
“And then what? They try to dictate the rules to us p>
“I heard they’ve reached out to several top gaming giants. The groundwork is basically laid out to establish something called The Premier Gaming Consortium. They’ve even connected with regulatory departments and gotten the green light, meaning they can officially set industry standards and place restrictions on our games p>
“They actually went to the regulators p>
“They did. But don’t worry, I’m already prepared. You’ll see when the time comes,” Owen said, deliberately keeping her in suspense.
“Alright, I trust you, Owen! You handle it. I’ll leave it in your capable hands p>
During lunch the next day, Miles Quinn tracked them down in the university cafeteria, walking straight over to Mira.
Mira paused her meal, slightly surprised. Assuming he was looking for his sister, she said, “I haven’t seen Seraphina p>
Mira and her group had arrived late for lunch today. It was the final day of the live trading competition, and they needed to find the right window to close their positions before the rankings were revealed tomorrow.
Because of that, they had stayed behind after morning classes to finish their assignments before heading to the cafeteria.
“I’m here for you,” he said, handing over a gold-embossed invitation.
Mira immediately understood. He was running errands for Lawrence’s crowd.
She reached out and took it, catching the envious glances from Wyatt Wright and the others. High-society banquets like this were strictly off-limits to ordinary people. Harvey Rivers, who knew some of the inside details, took a guess. “Is this the banquet Lawrence is hosting p>
“It is,” Miles replied.
“Miles, why are you delivering the invitations? Don’t tell me you’re getting involved in their mess p>
“Involved? Why would you say that, Mira? They’re doing this for everyone’s benefit. I’m just dropping. this off for them on my way, I’m from part of their group p>
Mira stared right into his eyes. He didn’t look like he was lying.
“You can tell them I’ll be there p>
After Miles walked away, Mira turned to Harvey’s dormmates. “Want to go p>
“Of course we want to see what that world is like, but unfortunately, we don’t make the cut p>
A high-society event like this would be packed with powerful CEOs. Just going there
to observe how the elite networked would be entirely worth it.
“I’ll take you p>
An event of this scale would undoubtedly invite the top elites of the capital. Owen would naturally receive an invitation too.
As the general manager of Solflare Capital, Quentin Vance would certainly be in attendance as well.
The banquet was scheduled for
Saturday, and today was already
Thursday. The timing was perfect; it
wouldn’t interfere with the trading
competition’s final assessments tomorrow.
After afternoon classes, Mira headed to her dorm to grab a textbook to read at home.
Just as she was about to open the door, she heard Vanessa Voss and Leah Monroe talking inside.
“Vanessa, please don’t kick me out. Let me stay with you. I can serve you well p>
“You? I have zero faith in your
abilities. I did, I wouldn’t have
ignored you at the start of the semester. You should just move to the room next door and swap places with Piper Bennett p>
That wraps up today’s chapters. Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy holiday with your families!
