Despite it being night in Steller City, it was still very active. The streets were illuminated by bright lights and neon billboards displaying famous adventurers advertising various products.
Usually, the streets were filled with youngsters in their early twenties, racing along the roads or attending nightclubs and partying nonstop. However, today everyone seemed unusually disciplined.
Security was heightened in every major district—this was because of the Graves Banquet. The Graves family wasn't just a powerhouse in the Valerian Kingdom; they had an especially strong hold here in the capital.
They were among the few families with direct access to the king, who was rarely seen in public. The Graves were practically royalty in the capital—no one dared to cross them or cause any disturbance tonight.
