Ye Wanwan's voice wasn't that quiet.
Seven Star's face was utterly dark. "President! Speak carefully!"
"Ah, life is unpredictable and anything could happen. Who knows, right?" Ye Wanwan soothingly patted Seven Star's shoulder.
Seven Star didn't want to say anything.
All the leaders and powerful figures of the Independent State gathered inside the banquet hall.
A glance across the room revealed that the majority of the guests present were "prestigious and upright" figures.
Although the four great clans had good intentions, some atypical groups and organizations didn't buy it and regarded an event like this disdainfully and wouldn't attend it.
When Ji Xiuran appeared, everyone turned to him.
The Ji family dabbled on both sides of the law and thrived in every area, so they attended this event every year.
A wave of whispers and discussion ran through the venue.
"Have you heard? This time, Emperor Ji donated the ring he wears every day!"
"Really? Emperor Ji has been wearing that ring for as long as I've known him!"
"Usually, a closely-worn ring like this is either a keepsake or holds some special meaning, but Emperor Ji actually donated it for the charity auction. He seriously shelled out a fortune! No wonder he's Emperor Ji; he's too sincere!"
"Ahhh! I must win Emperor Ji's ring tonight! No one is allowed to fight with me!" a girl wearing an aqua blue gown exclaimed enthusiastically.
The girl in pink next to him couldn't help but rain on her parade. "Just forget it! I heard Third Miss Shen also has her eyes on this ring! Who can compete against the Shen family in terms of wealth? Moreover, her family happens to be the organizer and host of this year's charity banquet, so the winner of this ring will definitely be Third Miss Shen!"
"How could she?! Isn't that too much? She's crushing us with money!"
