As Lysander made his exit, a parade of hulking bodyguards fell into step behind him, their commanding presence leaving the hotel in a formidable procession of power.

The moment they were out of sight, the hotel manager, who had been bracing himself against the onslaught of his intimidating guest, finally allowed his trembling body to collapse onto the floor. His face buried in his hands as he wept.
