The hall was bustling as if it had filled with more people; in its center, several couples were already dancing gracefully to the gentle piano music. When Yves King returned, he showed no signs of fatigue and seemed much more lively. He noticed Fujiwara Riichi not far away, holding a champagne glass and watching the dancers with intent.
A bald man stepped forward and extended his hand to invite her to dance, but she rejected him with a chilling glance that seemed to send him a thousand miles away. The man took the hint and withdrew.
Seeing this, Yves King couldn't help but laugh to himself, thinking that if the man knew he was asking the ruthless leader of the Shinobi Sect to dance, his reaction would be priceless. He probably wouldn't even dare to glance directly at her if he knew.
