At a classmate's birthday party, amidst the intertwining light and shadows, Muria handled each classmate who came up to chat and some adults who were keen on making his acquaintance with ease and composure.
In this social gathering hinged on familial ties but driven by interest, Muria once again witnessed the influence of the federation's top Great families,
Because what was supposed to be a birthday celebration for his classmate Niluo had turned into his own main stage, he became the protagonist of the event. Almost every adult who learned of his identity wanted to engage him in conversation, hoping to leave a favorable impression.
Some parents who came with their daughters even pushed them in front of him, their intentions quite clear. They all wanted to forge connections with the influential Clan of the federation.
A few hours later, the party, ostensibly a birthday celebration but fraught with vested interests, came to an end as the night had fallen completely.
