Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 560: The Best Strategy for Bone Spikes
Inside the exhibition hall, Bone Spur, disguised as a Truth Corporation employee, touched the work badge on his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really lucky, I actually didn't get exposed."
His method of infiltrating the Sleepless Night Family was quite crude—because such major events for the Sleepless Night Family would borrow personnel from Truth Corporation, Bone Spur bribed a member of Truth Corporation's HR department to add the name of an actual field employee who wouldn't be present that day.
Then, Bone Spur bought a set of old Truth Corporation uniforms and impersonated that guy to sneak in.
Originally, although this plan was crude, it was still relatively reliable.
Until rumors began spreading wildly throughout Sleepless City, and the Sleepless Night Family and Truth Corporation comprehensively strengthened security measures and raised the alert level within the venue.
When Bone Spur heard those rumors and saw more and more tough characters appearing at the venue, he felt like the sky was falling.
He couldn't even complain about being innocently affected, because judging from the recent series of events in Sleepless City and the resulting rumors…
"Three middlemen died mysteriously while Black Snake disappeared," "The Sleepless Night Family sent people to raid Gray Three Streets," "News leaked that a Peerage Noble would be assassinated at Sleepless Sky Huoxing's Coming-of-Age Ceremony"…
After this series of combination punches, Bone Spur, as someone involved, clearly understood that this was obviously a slip-up and a leak regarding the C-77 commission he was part of.
But the job had already been accepted, and the person daring to issue such a commission definitely had a status and position not inferior to the assassination target.
If he ran away now, it would mean offending the client as well.
So, Bone Spur could only grit his teeth and continue with the plan.
But a fortunate thing amidst the misfortune was that although the venue's actual security level had increased, his infiltration seemed to have gone off without a hitch?
After all, just now he had been stopped by the Truth Corporation's CEO himself, and he didn't seem to have noticed any flaws.
He even gave him a proper ID card—this also solved his biggest problem of having limited movement range.
So, Bone Spur couldn't help but feel a bit optimistic…
"Maybe my infiltration strategy is absolutely correct. These big shots are all arrogant and aloof, they have no idea what lower-level employees should be like!"
"My disguise is also perfect."
Thinking this, Bone Spur couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.
If he had known it would be this easy, he should have contacted the other team members earlier and helped sneak them in too.
He figured those guys were probably racking their brains over how to infiltrate this place!
As Bone Spur was thinking, a voice came from behind him.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get wine to pour for the distinguished guest over there—that's the Vice President of Divine Power Group!"
A team leader from Truth Corporation urged him. Bone Spur agreed and hurriedly grabbed the wine to run over.
"Paris, my old friend… this ceremony is really making a big splash, and you're in full charge of the security? Looks like you're gaining more and more favor from the Sleepless Night Family!"
"Not at all, I'm just here to lend a hand—if it weren't for rumors of someone planning dirty tricks and issuing some audacious commissions, I wouldn't be here working overtime… this isn't a good assignment."
"Hohoho, doesn't that just show how much that esteemed personage in the Sleepless Night Family trusts you? In times of crisis, they think of you and your team first… It looks like all five teams came? Why don't I see that team leader you value most?"
"Hey, Fatty, why are you asking such detailed questions? You're not planning to collude with some assassin, are you?"
"Hahahaha, you're really joking, Paris!"
"Yeah, hahaha, I love joking the most!"
Watching the round Vice President of Divine Power Group laugh and exchange pleasantries with Paris, Bone Spur, silently pouring wine, felt the man looked somewhat familiar.
But looking at his features, he really didn't recognize him.
"Maybe I saw him in some advertisement?"
Bone Spur wondered inwardly.
Just then, another commotion came from the entrance.
"Your Excellency, you've arrived?"
"A Peerage Noble has arrived!"
Accompanied by several people wearing Sheng Lan Family servant attire pouring in, the Sleepless Night Family servants also hurriedly lined up to welcome them.
The round Vice President of Divine Power Group exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't there still some time before the banquet starts? How come a Peerage Noble has arrived already?"
Even the order of gift presentation had to be considered, and the order of arrival and attendance was naturally even more meticulously planned.
Typically, for gatherings and celebrations among nobles, guests whose actual family and social status were lower than the host's had to arrive early to wait respectfully, tour the venue prepared by the host, or accept other arrangements.
Those equal to or slightly higher than the host's status were best to arrive right on time or just a little early.
In any case, as a Peerage Noble, they would definitely arrive right on time.
Now, many Count nobles hadn't even entered yet, and suddenly a Peerage Noble arrived, which was truly against the rules.
However, it was also thanks to him being a Peerage Noble—even if he broke the rules, no one dared to criticize; everyone would just find it strange.
But Paris wasn't surprised at all and spoke calmly.
"The one who would come this early is, of course, that esteemed personage from the Sheng Lan Family… Don't forget, today is the Coming-of-Age Ceremony for the Sleepless Night Family's esteemed Second Miss."
As Paris spoke, the Divine Power Group Vice President also understood.
"So it's that esteemed personage!"
Then, the two of them turned around together.
Sheng Lan Kui, wearing an extremely flamboyant, dashing snow-white ceremonial suit, even with a ceremonial sword hanging at her waist, strode into the exhibition hall.
The two company CEOs, along with everyone else in the hall, bowed, expressing their respects to this Peerage Noble.
Bone Spur also quickly lowered his head.
But in his heart, he felt even more admiration for his own cleverness.
"A server seems to have the lowest status, but actually has no fewer opportunities to come into contact with Peerage Nobles and important figures!"
"My other teammates who took on this commission probably haven't even infiltrated yet."
Thinking this, although Bone Spur's head was lowered, his soul seemed to be held high.
Sheng Lan Kui walked straight over, then spoke arrogantly.
"Paris, President Paris, what is going on with this exhibition hall?"
Paris quickly raised his head, putting on a smile. "Esteemed Sheng Lan Kui, Your Excellency, are you dissatisfied with the layout of this exhibition hall?"
"Of course. Why did you place Furbollo's aquarium in the very center?" Sheng Lan Kui said bluntly. "It's just a seaweed aquarium, even if it has an ordinary…"
Her gaze fell inside, then she saw the pink octopus inside and fell silent for a moment.
"Alright, having Furbollo's thing in the center isn't unacceptable, but… why is the sculpture I gifted placed in the farthest corner?"
"You're really trampling all over my heartfelt intentions!"
