"I am delighted to have all of you in attendance today," expressed the Star Alliance Leader, extending his gratitude towards the Leaders of various clans, most of whom weren't closely associated with the Star Alliance.
With the exception of one clan that could not be reached, most of the clans had arrived.
Unfortunately, he was unable to establish contact with the Dragon Clan, leading him to believe that the clan had chosen to remain away from them.
Consequently, he proceeded with the announcement, assuming the Dragon Clan preferred not to be bothered.
On the other hand, the Guests did not display much reaction to the greeting, seemingly unconcerned with the presence of the Star Alliance Leader. Instead, they urged him to swiftly move on to the main topic at hand.
Anticipating such a response, the Star Alliance Leader did not take it to heart. He knew it was only a matter of time before their attitude towards him changed.
