His trusted aide stared at the invitation in his hand, hesitating for a long moment over whether he should tell Fu Chenhan.

The aide's eyes flickered with hesitation, and in that fleeting moment, Fu Chenhan caught it.
The man's handsome, sharp features were still marked by the pallor of a serious illness not yet fully recovered from. His voice was ice-cold:
"What is it? Speak!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the guard dared not hide it any longer.
