Modu International Airport, no matter when, is always bustling with people of various skin colors—white, yellow, black, travelers from Asia, Europe, and beyond.
In an inconspicuous corner of the airport hall, a man wearing a baseball cap and with a DSLR camera hanging around his neck sat there. His gaze swept around like a wolf on the prowl, unaffected by the stares he was drawing because, of course, he was a journalist, or less flatteringly, a paparazzo specializing in photographing celebrities.
The man's eyes flitted from person to person, particularly focusing on women wearing oversized sunglasses or masks. He had received an insider tip that a popular up-and-coming actress was arriving in Modu for a signing event today. If he could scoop some news on this actress, he would make a fortune this year.
