Not long after Yang Hong left, Klaus quietly approached, leaned close to Wen Yu's ear, and softly said, “Annie and Claire are almost here. Lord Frenzy wants to know your thoughts.”
Wen Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I have no opinions; the dinner will proceed normally.”
“Understood.” After Klaus finished speaking, he quickly exited the banquet hall. The importance of Claire and Annie was sufficient for Klaus, as the host, to personally greet them.
...
Annie has a military background, which has already been confirmed by Lord Frenzy. In fact, Annie joined the military system later on when the military sent troops to Las Vegas, and she was the first to make contact with them.
Moreover, it must be said that Annie is quite skilled. Not only did she successfully integrate into the military system, but she also became close friends with Claire, the strongest among the U.S. military.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between Claire and Annie seems very good. When Claire arrived in Las Vegas, her first destination was not the Red Stone Grand Hotel, but Annie's residence.
So, when Annie and Claire walked into the venue together, it didn't seem strange at all.
...
When Klaus led Annie and Claire into the banquet hall, Wen Yu's eyes suddenly brightened.
Both women were exceptionally beautiful, even someone like Wen Yu, who wasn't particularly lecherous, felt a surge of hormones.
Claire was not wearing her usual tight combat leather outfit, nor was she carrying that cumbersome metal box behind her. Instead, she wore a pure black fitted long dress. The perfect waistline and her ample bosom attracted the attention of most men present, and her seductive posture made countless people swallow hard.
Next to Claire, Annie stood out even more!
She wore a bright red dress that accentuated her perfect face and figure, making her seem like a blooming rose, her slightly upturned lips carrying a hint of a charming smile, exuding a suffocating feminine charm.
Sitting in the corner, Wen Yu silently put on his glasses.
“Ding, tier 3 peak!”
Upon seeing this message, Wen Yu was not particularly surprised. Although Annie's strength was only tier 3 peak, her appearance made her power seem less important.
After all, this is an era that values looks.
Moreover, it was clear that Annie knew how to utilize her natural advantages.
Annie first greeted Claire, then exchanged a few words with Klaus, and while taking the wine glass offered by a nearby servant, she elegantly walked towards the corner where Wen Yu was sitting.
...
“Hi, beautiful.” Wen Yu raised his glass towards the approaching Annie, nodding in acknowledgment.
Annie, taking graceful steps, elegantly sat down on the sofa next to Wen Yu and said in a slightly husky voice, “I’ve often heard Claire mention how strong you are, and today it seems you truly stand out.”
One must say, Wen Yu had heard plenty of compliments, but those words coming from a beautiful woman felt different.
Wen Yu nodded slightly but didn’t say anything further.
After a moment, Annie gently leaned in, her beautiful face coming closer to Wen Yu as she asked, “I heard from Klaus that you have something to ask me. I wonder what it is?”
The intoxicating fragrance made Wen Yu feel a bit dazed, even slowing his thoughts. After a while, he finally said, “I want to ask about the deaths of the troops in Las Vegas.”
Annie gently shook her head. “There were no results. Those two groups of soldiers just died in the camp. Later, when Claire came here, she didn’t find anything either. You can verify this with Claire.”
“Hmm.” Wen Yu nodded slightly. “By the way, have you heard about a mutated beast here that has dream-related abilities?”
Annie shook her head gently. “I haven’t heard about that, but I did get a bit of news that Yang Hong seems to have experienced something similar to a dream.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu felt helpless...
After all this back and forth, they returned to square one. Just as Wen Yu was contemplating, Annie suddenly spoke to him.
