Lu Hanmo, accompanied by Luo Shu and two guards, walked into the banquet hall.
The banquet was bustling with excitement. Guests were dressed to impress, perfumed and radiant; the event was a contest not just of beauty, but of power and status as well.
When the host saw Lu Hanmo, he greeted him with an enthusiastic smile, "Chief Lu! Your presence truly honors us! This way, please!" Apart from the banquets he must attend, Lu Hanmo rarely partakes in such events. When the host sent an invitation to Lu Hanmo, he was mentally prepared for a rejection and was utterly surprised by Lu Hanmo's attendance. It was an unexpected delight!
He led Lu Hanmo to the VIP seats, "Chief Lu! Apart from you, Commander Song will also grace us with his presence today, and will be seated at your table." As the saying goes, there's not room for two tigers on a single mountain. Chief Lu and Commander Song sitting together would create an atmosphere that few others could withstand.
