Chapter 1007

Earlier, Darius had only brought the close relatives to receive Benjamin and his group. As for the rest of the guests, they were all waiting in the plaza.

Meanwhile, Arissa was in awe at the number of people gathered. She had already found the earlier crowd to be big. Little did she expect to find even more people here.

Arissa glanced at him. “A little.”

Arissa was amused. “Of course I do!”
