Dorian stepped into the dining room, settling into a seat at the end of the table, facing Huang. The room exuded an aura of sophistication, with its chic decor and ornate furnishings. Four figures occupied seats around the table, each emanating their own distinct presence.

Seated at the head of the table, Huang commanded attention with his imposing demeanor—a man in his forties exuding an air of authority, his posture rigid, and his gaze unwavering.

Saifei occupied the seat next to Shaofeng, her demeanor hinting at a sharp intellect and a penchant for manipulation. Her eyes held a calculating gleam, suggesting she was not one to be trifled with.
