There was also a third entrance to the arena, smaller in size than the other two. It was intended only for the participants and accompanying persons, not more than three, which means no more than 13 people per family.
Patriarch Bai headed towards the entrance with the participants. His daughter Diana and elder Boe were accompanying. Lee and two girls, Stephanie and Juno, were walking proudly behind them.
Diana linked her arm through her father's. He hadn't fully recovered after the heart attack. Ashen pale, weak, with blurry eyes, Bai looked like a sick old man rather than the unbending patriarch of the great family. The Stone pillar had cracked. The patriarch was advised to stay in the hospital, but he wouldn't miss the important event in the life of his family.
