- King’s gaze narrowed slightly, sensing a hint of hostility in the gesture.
- Evidently, this group of local tycoons harbored resentment towards the formidable newcomer, Horizon Ventures.
- Olivia, too, detected the tension but maintained her composure, raising her eyebrows imperceptibly yet showing no signs of intimidation.
- Meanwhile, outside the private room, Nathan had concluded socializing and was preparing to depart, his suit jacket in hand.
- Despite consuming a considerable amount of alcohol that evening, his eyes betrayed a slight haziness, yet his demeanor remained composed and aloof, exhibiting no outward signs of drunkenness.
- Ethan trailed closely beside him.
