Chapter 823
Wesley sneered.
“Why are you people like this? Insulting someone for no reason p>
Gene finally snapped, shouting back in his native tongue.
Watching them all laugh, Gene was consumed by a mix of burning jealousy and rage.
How could these hicks from the mainland be so genuinely happy?
But remembering Jax’s warning from earlier, he didn’t dare say another word.
Thankfully, they had reached the reserved rooms; his eyes darkened slightly before he turned and left.
Being away from home, Mira and Owen Lance shared a suite for added security.
As the two were organizing their luggage, a knock sounded at the door, and a blonde, blue-eyed bellhop entered.
Carrying a tray of coffee, he surprisingly spoke in perfect Mavarian, “The weather is good today p>
Owen replied, “The weather will be better tomorrow p>
After mutually verifying their identities with The Ellis Registry, the man set the coffee down and quietly exited.
Mira looked at Owen. “Your master’s men p>
“Yes. Since Hank’s team is already out in the open, they don’t need to show themselves; they can provide protection from the shadows.
We can have them gather intelligence discreetly p>
Traveling in unfamiliar territory meant having double the insurance was absolutely necessary.
The two meticulously swept the suite for hidden cameras, then completely sanitized the space.
After hanging their clothes in the closet, organizing their daily essentials, and tucking their suitcases away, they got ready to head down to the restaurant.
When they stepped out of the room, the bodyguards and assistants were already waiting in the hallway to go down together.
Truth be told, the outer room of the suite could comfortably house two bodyguards, but this hotel boasted impeccable security and reportedly had a spotless track record.
Coupled with the fact that both Mira and Owen were highly capable in a fight, they had arranged for their detail to occupy the adjacent rooms.
It ensured the team got proper rest and allowed everyone a little privacy.
As for breakfast, the service here was incredibly accommodating; if guests didn’t
feel like dining downstairs, they could simply place an order via the internal phone line for room service.
That was exactly what Hank and his associates had opted to do.
But since this was Mira’s first time traveling abroad, she preferred the bustling atmosphere of the main dining room.
“Mira, over here p>
By the time they arrived downstairs, Ethan Mercer and Harvey Rivers were already eating, having saved
seats for them; catching sight of the group, they quickly waved them Över.
“The Asian cuisine section is right over there p>
Harvey pointed toward a specific area.
Following his gaze, Mira saw the elegant ‘Asia Cuisine’ signage, and right next to it
were equally grand stations labeled ‘Europe Cuisine’ and ‘Africa Cuisine p>
It was an impressive, thoughtful layout, fully living up to the hotel’s international five star reputation ever without seeing the food, the diverse options were incredibly enticing.
“What are you guys having p>
“I grabbed some Americas cuisine. It’s been a while since I’ve had it, and the flavor
is very authentic p>
Ethan replied.
Harvey chimed in, “I’m just taking a bite of whatever catches my eye. Next meal, I’ll know exactly what’s good and what to skip p>
Wesley laughed. “I planned to sample every continent’s specialty, but I got full before I even made it halfway p>
He shook his head.
“I’ll just continue the tasting menu tomorrow morning p>
Compared to Ethan, Hank, and Owen, who were seasoned travelers, Mira, Harvey, and Wesley were completely new to the international scene and fascinated by everything.
Mira turned to Jax, Cyrus Montgomery, and the rest of the team. “Go ahead and grab what you want, you don’t need to wait for us p>
If she hadn’t given the word, they would have stood by until she finished getting her food before taking turns to eat.
Owen also waved at the bodyguards and secretaries, gesturing for them to make themselves comfortable.
Then, Owen guided Mira around, patiently introducing the flavors and specialties of each culinary zone.
He had spent a considerable amount of time in the Javenaire Federation during his college years and possessed a deep knowledge of global cuisine.
Though it was technically a buffet, every station was meticulously attended to by masked waiters.
The counters weren’t overflowing with large batches, but the staff continuously restocked the dishes, ensuring everything remained perfectly fresh and hot.
Mira also adopted Harvey’s strategy, picking up small portions of whatever looked appealing to test the waters planning to return winners and ditch the losers.
