Apart from these familiar faces, to my surprise, I also spotted Jareyh, the manager of Elephant Tower, alongside the short and watchful sentinel.
“Why are they here as well?” I muttered softly.
Beside me, Su Mei whispered an explanation: “It must be the old man who extended the invitation. Although the true owner of Elephant Tower remains a mystery, they are obliged to attend if the old man requests it…”
I nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
As we spoke, the entrance suddenly became a flurry of activity. Turning my head, I saw Kristin, the matriarch of the Zou family, elegantly linking arms with the big boss. Accompanied by Auntie Wyatt and several others, they walked in with a regal presence.
