Unlike the bustling crowd outside, only a few people in the banquet hall left their seats to converse with each other.
It seemed they followed some unspoken rules.
Before the banquet officially started, no one was too eager to leave their seats and socialize.
After Ronald and Patricia entered, their identities were announced, and they were immediately led by the staff to their seats that had been prepared in advance.
Their seats were fairly close to the podium, on the left side of the banquet hall's dance floor.

After sitting down, there followed a period of boring waiting.
About half an hour after their entrance, the situation finally changed.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, the agents responsible for tonight's banquet arrived.
Ronald could tell that the Bureau took this banquet very seriously.
