Surprise Meetup

The banquet ended in a relaxed and happy mood. Only halfway through the function, Commodus had already made a move. Zhang Heng wanted to leave as well, but considering the personality he had created for himself, he had to wait until the end of the banquet before he could leave the place. Lucilla's visit this afternoon also reminded him that as he became more and more famous, more people would be paying attention to him now.

It was crucial that someone like him attended such an evening banquet. It allowed him to exchange conversation and make friends with powerful political allies. If Zhang Heng wanted to maintain his power-hungry persona, it would be unwise for him to leave too early.

Although Zhang Heng was not interested in socializing, he had to pretend that he was fond of talking to them.
