Twilight Hour.
The storm that had raged all day had finally stopped.
The streets were washed clean by the rain.
And the City Lord’s Mansion, situated at the very center of the city, had its lanterns hung up early.
Servants bustled about, adding a touch of liveliness to this majestic residence.
This time, the City Lord’s nighttime banquet was unprecedented in scale, not only inviting various prestigious families of the City Lord, but also all the powerful figures from distant lands.
Thus, even though it was not yet fully dark, the long street outside the City Lord’s Mansion had already become lively.
One could see numerous luxurious carriages flying in from all directions, but no matter what the status of the arrivals, they had to alight and walk the rest of the way to the mansion as a show of respect.
Thus, there were early birds stationed here, planning to catch a glimpse of this rare excitement.
"There are people from the Zhu Family!"
"The Yang Family has also arrived!"
Such exclamations echoed one after another since the visitors were normally elusive figures of great importance.
At that moment, an extremely luxurious caravan arrived.
Then, an elderly woman with a full head of gray hair and a dignified demeanor alighted.
She surveyed the entire scene with one glance and then walked arrogantly into the City Lord’s Mansion.
After she left, the onlooking crowd stirred.
"Who was that elderly woman just now?"
"Don’t you know? In our city, which other elderly woman could hold such a position? It must be Elder Madam Zhuo from the Zhuo Family!"
With these words, many people’s expressions turned somewhat peculiar.
"Oh, so it’s that Elder Madam Zhuo who was publicly humiliated a while back!"
The events that had occurred at the Zhuo Family had spread throughout Cursed City, and these people obviously knew about it.
"Tsk, I can’t see anything unusual about her," someone remarked.
"Hehe, of course you can’t see anything unusual now, but don’t you know? The person who dared to slap her has also been invited and might arrive soon. It seems this dinner will be quite lively!"
People buzzed with discussion.
Elder Madam Zhuo, of course, knew nothing of these whispers.
At that moment, she was sitting proudly at the guest of honor seat in the banquet hall, occasionally whispering to the Madam Zhuo and Zhuo Ya who had come with her.
"Why haven’t the people from Tian Fu Pavilion arrived yet?" Elder Madam Zhuo asked somewhat hesitantly.
By now, the hall was brightly lit, and most of the guests had arrived, making the banquet hall exceptionally lively, except for the absence of the people from Tian Fu Pavilion.
Madam Zhuo whispered softly, "Elder Madam, this banquet is of great importance. Moreover, that man named Xue An is also coming. So, even just to avenge Xu Bao, the people from Tian Fu Pavilion must come!"
At the mention of the name Xue An, Elder Madam Zhuo’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and she snorted coldly through her nose.
"I can’t believe Her Majesty even invited him!"
Madam Zhuo smiled, "Elder Madam, I think if Xue An is wise, he definitely won’t come! After all, he has made many enemies now!"
Elder Madam Zhuo could not help but sneer at this remark.
She, of course, was aware of what had happened at Profound Sea Tower.
When she heard that Xue An had publicly refined Jin Family’s young master, Elder Madam Zhuo was overjoyed.
The Jin Family’s strength was in no way inferior to the Zhuo Family’s, and even surpassed it in some aspects.
Now that Xue An was acting so arrogantly, clearly, he had made a mortal enemy of the Jin Family.
Thus, someone might take care of Xue An without her having to lift a finger.
