Bailu City. Outside Zuixian Restaurant, the most luxurious establishment in this massive city, honored guests were expected today; consequently, not a single person dared to walk through the doors of this bustling restaurant, which usually saw a constant stream of wealthy merchants, powerful officials, and dignitaries. The city's prominent officials were already waiting quietly inside. A lavish feast was laid out on the tables, but not one of these high-ranking officials—who were usually fawned over by others—dared to touch a thing. Most of them kept their eyes fixed on the elderly city lord.
Outside, not a soul entered the restaurant, and the entire surrounding area was heavily guarded by soldiers to keep any idlers at bay!
"I wonder if there will be anything decent to eat later."
