After an hour-long drive, we finally arrived at Verrill's house. It was my—and Hora's—first time there, and I'd say they were extremely wealthy as well. Their house was a mixture of modern and traditional Chinese homes. The design looked very luxurious and dignified.

From the main gate to the house was a small bridge where a large and beautiful pond could be found below, with its colorful lotus flowers and koi fishes. Their servants ushered us inside and towards the main hall with glass wall panels. They told us it's the place where the party would be held later. But since we were early, they let us into the living room where Verrill and Callan were waiting for us—it seemed that he got there earlier than us.
