Today's event was being held in the Glaze hotel. As the biggest hotel present in the city, it was obvious that such a big event that involved the big shots of the city had to be held in a place where it matched their reputation.
Of course, till this moment, Jack only knew that the event involved the big shots of Inchoate city, but he didn't know what the event was for.
Well, not that anything matters as what he was going to do there was to make connections that could help him in the future. In other words, he had already begun building the foundations of his Jackson Enterprise. After all, no matter the amount of money that he had in his hands, he still needed the connections to get whatever he needed.
This was considering the fact that there were things that could not be bought by money alone. After all, there were things that were special in such a way that the seller could only sell them to the person that he or she knew.
The banquet was going to begin at around 6 p.m. So, Jack wasn't worried so much about the speed at which he was driving the Bugatti Veyron. But, although Jack didn't care about this, that didn't mean that the others didn't care about it.
The appearance of the Bugatti Veyron on the road had already caused a commotion among those that saw it. After all, this was a car worth several millions of dollars.
On the road, drivers took the initiative to clear the way for him, so that they could avoid any accident that could occur in such a way that, they would be forced to pay if they scratched the Bugatti Veyron.
Of course, Jack had never expected that driving the Bugatti Veyron would cause such a sensation. He was out driving the car that he was given by the system as everyone and not to show off. But the result was that he had attracted the attention of many people.
By the time that he got to the hotel, Jack had already gotten used to people getting out of his way or, some pointing at his car.
Since today was when the banquet was being held, the whole hotel had been reserved by the one that was holding the banquet. This signified that the host wasn't a small person to begin with.
So, on this very day, only those with the invitation letters could access the Glaze Hotel. If a person didn't have the invitation, they would be turned around no matter who they were.
But, as soon as Jack's Bugatti Veyron showed up, the guards didn't dare to stop him and ask for the invitation card. Although Jack was quite startled by this, he shrugged his shoulders as this was to his convenience. He wanted to get the attention of all those that was staring at him away.
The parking lot of the Glaze Hotel was underground. The glaze hotel itself was an eight-storey building. The ground floor was the reception Hall. It was well just in case the dining place was full, the customers could wait for the tables to be freed.
As for the first floor of the hotel, that was where the general public could take their meals. The second floor was where there were private rooms. These private rooms were nothing special other than privacy that they offered.
On the third, fourth and fifth floors, that was where the lodging rooms were located. On the sixth floor, that was where there were VIP level rooms.
The seventh floor was a huge hall where meetings and conferences were held. It was big enough in that some of the ceremonies such as their banquet that was being held on this day could be carried inside.
As for the eighth floor, that was the presidential suite area. There are only four rooms on the sixth floor. In other words, in the whole Glaze hotel, there were only four presidential suites.
Taking the elevator to the ground floor, Jack found that this floor didn't have as much congestion as it was the previous day when he was here to treat Sabrina to a meal.
As soon as he came out of the elevator, he was welcomed by the enthusiastic Anderson.
"Jack, you're already here. For a while I thought that you weren't coming." Anderson said as he put his hands around Jack's shoulder.
"Of course I had to come. After all, you guys had invited me here. And by the way, I thought that there's still an hour before the banquet begins." Jack replied while looking at Anderson with a strange gaze.
Ignoring Jack's gaze and words, Anderson looked around as if trying to find someone. After looking around for a while, he looked at Jack and asked, "Where's your partner?"
Jack wasn't expecting such a question at all. The only person that Jack could be said to be close to in Inchoate city would be George. But Anderson knew very well that George could not come to this event because of the bet that he had made with Ismael.
He could only ask, "What partner? I don't think I have a partner."
Jackson's reply made Anderson's brows to twitch slightly. He then looked at Jack as if he was looking at a strange species that has yet to be recognized. After a moment of staring, he asked, "You don't have a partner for the dance tonight? You got two invitation cards. One for you and the other for your female companion."
"What dance are you talking about? Isn't this an occasion that the big wigs of the city will be attending?" Jack asked confusedly. After all, when he received the invitation, he hadn't expected that there will be something like dancing and whatever. He had a thought that it was just a normal banquet where people would be meeting and discussing business most of the time.
Furthermore, he only noticed that there were two cards when he was about to leave the mansion. But, even after seeing that there were two cards, he had thought that they had given him an extra card by mistake. Who knew that they knew that they had given out two?
But even so, Jack didn't have a lady that could accompany him to such an event. He was a solo man after all.
Anderson palmed his forehead as he spoke, "Ah, I forgot to give you the schedule of events here. How bad of me. Anyway, I can tell you now that, there would be a performance, then, it will be followed by a meal. Then, there would be introductions about the host of the event."
"After that, there would be a dance, and finally the main topic that had brought all the people here. One more thing that I can tell you is that, the host of the event has a special identity in that even the Dante family has to pay respects."
"So, you better be cautious while inside there and not to offend the host of the occasion. If the two of you are enemies, I can assure you that you cannot survive in this country."
Anderson's words were quite solemn and Jack could sense the seriousness in his voice. He then wondered to himself, 'who is this person with such as special identity in Inchoate city?'
But, all those thoughts were thrown at the back of his mind when Anderson asked again about his dancing partner.
Jack shook his head as he said that he would not participate in the dance. The reason for this being that, although he had been trained in dancing, since he had never attended any banquet, he had never experienced dancing in front of many people.
Now that he had no dancing partner, it will make things easier for him as he could just sit down and watch the show in progress.
Seeing that Jack was being serious about not having a partner, Anderson patted his shoulder and said, "Worry not, I'm sure that you will get a good girl inside there. What do you think of Kelly?"
"Buzz off!" Jack's reply was simple.
"Haha, I was joking. Let's get in." Anderson laughed as he said these words. It was obvious that he had become quite at ease in Jack's presence as compared to Friday night.
And as he said these words, he pulled Jack towards the elevator that led to the seventh floor of the building.
When they reached there, Jack found that many people had already arrived. Even William, Kelly and the others had already arrived. When they saw Jack coming in with Anderson, they came over to greet him.
The hall this time was arranged in such a way that, there was several tables and chairs forming a semicircle. At the end of the semicircle, there was a small stage on which he assumed that the host of the event or those who were going to speak in the event were going to stand on. At the center of the semicircle was the dancing area.
They hall was well decorated and lit. The luxury of the hall was at a level that Jack had only seen when there was a banquet back at the Alfonso family mansion. At that time, he was only passing by and he saw the scene of how the hall was decorated. Now, he could finally experience how a banquet was.
Jack sat alongside the young masters of Inchoate city. But of course, the sitting area that he was in was different from where the other big shots of the city sat. Since he was seated with the young masters of the big five, he was obviously close to the stage.
As more and more people came in, the hall was completely filled. And during this time that they were waiting, Jack used it to familiarize himself with these youngsters.
He got to know the traits and characters alongside their relationship. Although they were competing, the relationship between them was pretty good. But that didn't mean that they weren't competing.
If there was an occasion that needed one of the five to take advantage, They would surely compete so that their family could gain the advantage.
Just as it was stated, the banquet began on time. Music echoed inside the hall. Then, the MC began by introducing why the banquet was held.
According to him, it was to welcome a new person into Inchoate city. But, he didn't speak too much as the banquet went on.
Jack was quite focused on the big shots that were being introduced by William and the others. He noticed that, although the banquet was held here, there were some people that came here from other cities, obviously here to curry favor.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Just as Jack thought that things are going quite well, an arrogant voice made him and the group to turn around and look behind them.
Kelly frowned when she saw who had spoken. "Young master Ben?"
