Capítulo 63: The Masked Figure

Flanked by a coterie of imposing bodyguards, each one clad in an identical mask that rendered them as inscrutable as their enigmatic leader, the man's arrival sent a shockwave of apprehension rippling through the assembled members of the Xiao family.

Xiao Zheng found himself studying the mysterious figure with a newfound intensity, his gaze flickering from one inscrutable visage to the next as he sought to unravel the mystery that surrounded them. For this was no ordinary guest, no mere visitor to be entertained and placated – this was the true power that held sway over the criminal underworld, the kingpin who had risen from the ashes of a once-fractured empire to unite the disparate factions under his iron fist.
