Chapter 529: Birthday Surprise VS Birthday Scare

The banquet hall buzzed with a "buzz, buzz, buzz."

In that instant, curious guests all craned their necks, looking toward the source of the noise.

The banquet hall was grand and lofty, with a domed ceiling of stained glass and exquisite sculptures and reliefs on either side, pleasing to the eye. At this moment, high above in the hall, a dozen or so small drones painted with cartoon patterns emerged, trailing cool colored smoke from their tails in a ladder formation as they performed in flight.

"Cough, cough… cough, cough, cough…" Gu Zhenhua coughed heavily several times, but still couldn't regain everyone's attention.

Rows of drones drew rainbow-colored smoke in the air, forming the shape of the number "26" mid-flight—spectacular! Then, a child's tender voice rang out through the surround sound system, "Daddy, Happy Birthday!"

With a "bang," countless brightly wrapped candies showered down from the drones in waves.

The guests reached out to catch them.
