Inside the private room, the crowd was talking and laughing, creating a lively scene.
The Deputy Commander of the Garrison Commandant's Office, Chen Ping'an, was all smiles, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.
'He really is just a boy!'
Looking at Chen Ping'an's appearance, Chu Dingkang, a Chu Clan Elder, felt his heart settle.
After this test, the representatives of the various powers present now had a clear idea. It seemed this new Deputy Commander was soft and easily bullied. 'In the power struggles to come, there will be plenty of room to maneuver!'
Just as everyone was raising their cups and exchanging toasts, someone from outside the door announced news.
"Protector Uncle Gu of the Quicksand Gang has arrived to pay his respects!"
"Oh? So Uncle Gu has arrived?"
Chu Dingkang set down his wine cup, a faint smile on his face as he looked toward the door.
"It's Uncle Gu?"
"Hahaha... The Quicksand Gang certainly has some nerve!"
"This is getting interesting!"
