The phrase "leader" is tantamount to offending everyone on her behalf.

She was getting impatient because her guards had just quietly informed her that there seemed to be a disturbance at Shixi Tower. The guards she had arranged to stay nearby to support Huo Shaoying were being blocked by some unknown people and were temporarily unable to get close to see what was going on.

The first leader clenched her fist. A small piece of jade radiated warmth in her palm, pulsating like a heartbeat, which calmed her slightly.

This is the Heart-Connecting Jade, containing her heart's blood. She and Huo Shaoying each have one. No matter how far apart they are, if the other suffers an accident, the Heart-Connecting Jade will issue a warning.

For a brief moment, Lian Xinyu suddenly became hot, but it quickly returned to normal.

The leader just wanted to leave as soon as possible and go back to find Huo Shaoying.

But before leaving, Huo Shaoying repeatedly reminded herself that this banquet was the first time she had received an invitation from another leader since taking office, and it was very important. She had to go, and if necessary, she had to restrain her temper and lower her posture.

Thinking of what she had taught him, the First Leader pursed his lips, temporarily suppressing his anger, picked up his wine glass, and looked at everyone.

"My esteemed leaders, although I have attained my current position, I am still inexperienced and lack seniority. There is much I need to learn from you all! I hope you will be tolerant of me in the future, and together we can build a better and more prosperous Dark District!"

After saying that, she raised her glass, tilted her head back, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Ji Zhao's expression darkened slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Huo Shaoying has trained her well. If I can take Huo Shaoying under my wing this time, I will spare her and her sister's lives. If she refuses... Hmph! Don't blame me for being impolite!
