At the entrance to the ballroom, a party of seven council members led by Wei Zonglong strode inside, a formidable procession.
All the guests in the hall stopped their conversations and looked toward the entrance, every one of them sensing a strange shift in the atmosphere.
"What's going on? Why did Mr. Wei arrive with so many council members? Something doesn't seem right."
"Indeed. From the looks of it, tonight's council meeting isn't going to be so simple."
"As the Chamber's vice-president, Mr. Wei would never just hand over the presidency so easily..."
"..."
The crowd keenly sensed that something was wrong. With the council meeting about to begin, the meaning behind Wei Zonglong's arrival with so many council members was self-evident.
"Wait! Look who's behind Wei Zonglong!"
someone whispered, drawing everyone's attention.
Sure enough, as everyone looked closer, they saw a particularly conspicuous figure among Wei Zonglong's entourage.
