Strike Back (IV)
"Congratulations on your freedom!"
Confetti burst, showering colorful bits of paper, as the applause echoed throughout the luxurious apartment. The echo of applause filled the entire luxurious apartment. The dining table was full of five-star restaurant dishes and bottles of champagne.
Amidst the laughter and celebration, Vincent looked around and smiled. People in their finest suits attended his freedom party. They were loyal members of the Morning Star until the end.
During his time in prison, many guild members had left. Most of them had joined Morning Star for money and fame. If Morning Star lost its influence, they had no reason to stay. It disappointed Vincent, but at the same time, he knew who his true friends were.
As the party atmosphere reached its peak, Vincent took the microphone and addressed all the guests. They watched him intently.
