The Guests Arrive (Part I)

The next day was chilly and overcast. Yet a massive number of people crowded around a big convention centre in the outskirts of the city. They endured the cold weather, refusing to leave even when the sky drizzled on and off since early morning.

Fortunately, the place wasn't busy compared to the city centre. There wasn't much traffic either. The massive crowd didn't inconvenience others except for the few residents and people working in the area. They were also generally peaceful and didn't create too much trouble. Despite this, the police still sent more officers to patrol around the convention centre's vicinity to make sure that the people obeyed the law.
