The eighteen private boxes quickly filled with people, and the number of sotto voce conversations gradually increased. However, due to the large size of the room and the corridors separating each box, it was difficult to hear what others were saying clearly.
Soon, amidst the noise, the already dim lights suddenly went out completely, and several spotlights suddenly turned on at the front of all the boxes, brightly illuminating a small display stage below.
A man in a black suit silently emerged from a side door and stood in the center of the display stage.
Just like all the guests, he wore a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
