France, Paris.
Night had fallen. Lights twinkled in the windows of skyscrapers like a river of stars, shimmering alongside the stars in the sky.
Le Bristol Hotel was Paris's most famous hotel. It stood on the celebrated Rue Saint-Honoré, in the heart of the city's fashion and art scene.
The hotel was an iconic, elegant building with a total of 76 rooms and suites.
One of its main attractions was its themed suites, each steeped in the pure style of eighteenth-century France. Guests could look out over the bustling city from their own scenic terraces and enjoy some private peace and quiet.
The top suite was on the tenth floor. At $6,000 a night, it came with a stunning 1,200-square-foot rooftop terrace, butler service, lounge access, and more.
Hao Shuai had flown thousands of miles from Australia. Dressed in a sharp black suit and dark sunglasses, he swaggered into the hotel.
He hadn't come to stay. He was there to find the Eternals.
The three strongest fighters among the Eternals, along with their healer and their support, were already dead. Of the five remaining, Hao Shuai planned to deal with Sersi first.
He chose her not only because she was the acting leader and might be able to contact Arishem of the Celestials, but also because she had a special ability.
She could gather energy from the other Eternals.
At the end of the movie, Sersi had pooled the power of the other Eternals and unleashed a powerful attack that froze the newly born Celestial, Tiamut, to death.
With an unknown combination technique like that in play, Hao Shuai couldn't feel at ease until he took Sersi out!
From Phastos's memories, Hao Shuai knew that most of the Eternals lived among humans, except for those like Ajaka, Thena, and Druig,
