Chapter 1159

Wilder never thought things would spiral out of control like this. He kept refreshing his phone, trying to catch any buzz about the tech company's launch, but it barely made a ripple and soon got lost in the shuffle of other headlines.

Meanwhile, Calix's fan meetup was all anyone could talk about. He was hosting it on his own dime and had even prepared gifts for his fans. The news was swamped with Calix-related stories-it was impossible to escape. The excitement wasn't confined to the internet either; it was electric in person.

Josefina and Oliver made their way to the event, both sporting matching hats, a couple's set. Oliver adjusted a face mask over Josefina's nose. "There are too many people here. Better safe than sorry," he said. Josefina just rolled her eyes, but didn't argue. Oliver put on his own mask, grabbed Josefina's hand, and they headed inside.

Their seats were VVVIP, right at the front, providing an unbeatable view of Calix's performance. Josefina stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom. Wait here for me." Oliver wanted to tag along, but Josefina gently pushed him back into his seat. "I'll be fine. It's just over there. Don't worry," she reassured him before heading out. Oliver had no choice but to sit and wait for her return.

As Josefina exited the restroom, she noticed someone who seemed out of place. Not particularly tall or imposing, the person looked shifty, masked, and bundled up in thick clothing despite the mild weather. The outfit wasn't suspicious on its own, but his demeanor put Josefina on edge.

She moved forward, but the narrow hallway was crowded. Two boys stumbled, almost crashing into the shady character. Josefina watched in surprise as the man deftly sidestepped and even caught the boys, stopping them from falling. His reflexes were impressive-not something you see every day.

Josefina quickly snapped a photo and texted Tori. Before long, Tori arrived at the location Josefina had mentioned. "That guy I sent you a picture of keep an eye on him Try to get close and figure out what he's up to. We can't have any issues at Calix's event," she instructed.

"Ms. Josefina, don't worry. I'll tail him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!" Tori assured her. With eyes sharp as a hawk, Tori set out to find the mysterious man. It didat take long to spot hi-a figure, standing quietly.

Tori sidled up next to him, waving a glow stick in rhythm with Calix's performance on stage. "Hey, buddy you a farrof Calix too? he called out The man flinched, instinctively touching his mask to ensure his anonymity.

In a guarded tone, he replied, “Yeah, I really like Calix. His action scenes are amazing, like he's really flying. Didn't expect him to sing and host a fan meet too. I'm a high-tier member, so I got free entry."

Sizing up Tori, he added, "You're a bit old to be a fan, aren't you?" Tori chuckled. Age comments didn't bother him; he kept his easygoing demeanor.

“I love his action scenes too. Not many stars can fight like that. My daughter's a big fan, and she got me hooked."

"Your daughter's got good taste," the man complimented. Tori nodded with a broad smile. “She sure does, and she's a great judge of character too."
