Chapter 419 I Am Here For You
Orion didn’t walk in. Instead, he stood there, illuminated by a halo of light that surrounded him, yet it radiated no warmth.
His features were so perfectly chiseled that they seemed sculpted by a master artist. He exuded an aura of noble detachment, cold and imposing, making him seen nearly unreachable.
The cheers and applause that had filled the air abruptly ceased as everyone noticed the grim expression on Orion’s face.
Everyone was flustered and unsure how to react.
Seraphina stood frozen, staring at the unexpected appearance of Orion. Her brows furrowed as she squinted at him.
It was truly surprising.
She turned her gaze toward Michael.
Orion’s gaze first locked on Henry, then shifted to Seraphina, and finally settled on Michael.
As Michael felt the weight of all eyes upon him, an unsettling sensation crept over him, yet he had to maintain his composure.
Justin’s advice to utilize the center of attention left no other option. Wouldn’t combining their star power create an even greater spectacle?
As a seasoned media professional, he understood how to leverage everyone’s strengths to the fullest. This was precisely the moment to do just that.
He cleared his throat, forcing a smile as he approached Orion and welcomed him personally.
“Mr. Dros, it’s a great honor to have you as our guest. Our show is truly privileged to have you.”
Orion’s sharp gaze bore at him, and he grinned gently. “Oh?”
Michael pressed his lips together, feeling the pressure to smooth over the atmosphere, and continued, “Mr. Dros is our surprise guest, and we also have Mr. Henry Walker here, who will assist our goddesses and help with Mr. Dros’s needs. If Mr. Dros requires anything, you can direct it to Mr. Walker.”
We established the hierarchy in just a few sentences.
Henry’s role was clearly defined: he existed solely to serve Orion. Their positions were distinct, as were their responsibilities.
The coldness in Orion’s eyes remained, and Michael found it increasingly difficult to bear the weight of his scrutiny. He glanced at Seraphina in a plea for help.
If only he hadn’t tried to play this little game.
Seraphina rolled her eyes, immediately realizing that Michael, driven by ambition, was trying to stir up trouble.

Chapter 419 | Am Here For You
Taking a deep breath, she reminded herself that with so many people present, it would be unwise to cause a scene, especially since they were there to support Lila She could always settle the score with him later.
With a resigned expression, she extended her hand and began to applaud.
It was a welcoming gesture.
Almost immediately, the crowd picked up on her cuc, and applause erupted, growing increasingly
enthusiastic.
Applause meant solely for Orion.
Orion’s gaze landed on Seraphina, who had started the applause. His eyes softened slightly, and the chill in his demeanor thawed just a bit.
At last, he made his way inside.
Michael sighed in relief.
They had finally crossed the first challenge.
Orion stepped next to Seraphina, and those around them instinctively cleared a space.
It was unmistakable. Orion stood at the center of attention.
It felt strange yet fitting.
Seraphina maintained her expressionless smile, seemingly unengaged.
Henry, recognizing the unspoken tension, discreetly slipped to the corner of the room.
He dared not provoke Orion again.
The beating he had taken that day was enough to instill caution for a lifetime.
After a brief overview of the rules, everyone headed outdoors to play a few games designed to build camaraderie.
