As night fell and the city lights flickered on, a fleet of luxury cars lined the entrance of the Everland Hotel.

Everyone in Dellanex knew that tonight was the Carnegie family's acknowledgment party.

Another said, "And there's Henry Reyes, the head of the Reyes family. All three of Dellanex's great families have gathered. tonight"

One added, "If there is a Sinclair were to attend, that would really make headlines."

A few more political heavyweights arrived, causing the chatter to die down as cameras were raised to capture every

moment.
