A potential enemy

At this moment, Alexander was strolling around in the banquet hall.

As he aimlessly wandered, he spotted a familiar face, John from Boulder City.

John was seated at a table closest to the stage, engaged in conversation with someone next to him.

"Please, everyone, enjoy your meal!" announced Merlin, finally concluding his speech and stepping down from the stage.

Meanwhile, Alexander, eyeing the array of delectable dishes on the tables around him, felt tempted.

He hadn't eaten his fill earlier in the dining room.

Thus, he found an empty seat, promptly sat down, and began to eat, using the cutlery at hand.

At such banquets, it was highly likely that those seated at the same table were strangers to each other.

Therefore, no one questioned his presence.

However, Alexander's overly simple attire stood out awkwardly in such a setting, drawing a few extra glances.

Unconcerned, Alexander continued to eat, head down.
