The sky had now turned completely dark. There were no visible stars. Only the dim crescent moon illuminated the sky above.
It was cold and dark in the outskirts of the city. However, the area surrounding the convention centre was warm and bright. The crowd only kept growing and became more excited. They sweated, not feeling the chill in the air.
Moments later, someone arrived with much pomp and circumstance. A team of ten bodyguards alerted the people that a VVIP was about to appear. The event's staff also stood by, ready to greet the new arrival.
Wei Lan stepped out of the vehicle in a beautiful, sparkling, gold long dress. It was high-collared and sleeveless. She also wore a pair of white satin gloves that reached to her elbows. Her outfit made her look conservative compared to the revealing dresses she typically wore before.
"It's Vizcondesa Lan!" someone shouted.
All attention fell on her.
