Notably, going to a bar at night really did make people feel more relaxed.
"Tell me the situation," Khloe said calmly.
"She's called Ariana Talois. A young lady from a collateral branch of the Yustonia royal family. In Olympus, she currently holds status but no real authority."
At the same time as Ethan finished speaking, a photo was sent to Khloe's phone.
Khloe had already anticipated that Trey would attend a class reunion and inevitably introduce his new girlfriend. At a time like this, if she moved in on Trey, it would be the perfect way to create a rift between them.
She understood his personality well—once he had set his sights on a woman, he became utterly reckless.
Even the most foolish woman would eventually sense something was wrong when a man behaved so inconsistently, especially when she was abruptly abandoned like this.
Based on the information Khloe provided, Ethan had quickly narrowed down the bar districts where Ariana might appear. Combined with a few distinctive traits—new face, foreigner, high spending power—the target was soon pinpointed.
Ethan already had a plan in place.
His approach was the classic "hero saves the beauty." A method of introduction that never went out of style.
After that, he would present himself in his usual unreliable manner and engage her in conversation.
For a young heiress like Ariana—naïve due to youth and lack of social experience—her perception of people was overly simplistic. Allowing her to judge him directly, based on first impressions, would instead lower her defenses.
Once they started talking, things would only become easier.
Ethan was an old hand at this sort of thing and highly skilled at extracting information, so he had effortlessly confirmed Ariana's identity—and also learned the role she played within Olympus.
"Later in the conversation, I told her I really needed a wealthy young lady like her. If she was interested in me, I could provide any service at any time. But this young lady is actually quite principled—she said she already has a fiancé, so at most she could offer me a job."
Khloe let out a faint snort.
