An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 1311-“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.” As the literary event commenced, a fair, stout, middle-aged man went up on stage. Flashing a welcoming smile, he greeted the audience respectfully.
“My name is Keanu Jankow, and I’m the manager at Regal Court. Thank you for gracing us with tonight.” your presence Keanu continued with a smile, “It is once again the night of our quarterly literary exchange. Regal Court has selected a precious treasure from Treasure Pavilion to serve as the highlight of our evening and liven the crowd.
“Of course, our primary goal is for everyone to engage in friendly literature discussions, not competition.
“Mr. Jankow, what marvelous treasure has Regal Court prepared for us? Could you grant us a glimpse?” a man asked loudly.
“Yeah, we came here for the treasure. I hope it’s worth it,” many others echoed the sentiment. “Dear guests, please, be patient. I’ll have it brought forth shortly for all to admire.” Keanu nodded and signaled to the two men standing beside him. They immediately understood and brought up a rectangular wooden box.
The wooden box measured 2 feet wide and 5 feet long. Crafted entirely from silkwood, the box itself held considerable value. One could only imagine the worth of its contents.
