The sounds of the zither swallowed the little chatters, soft giggles, and pleasantries in the big pavilion.

Instead of chandeliers, red big lanterns were hanging in the golden ceiling. Every corner of the big pavilion was filled with expensive incense. Filling the surrounding a pleasant and fragrant smell. The big and wide pavilion was surrounded by different kinds of flowers and bamboo leaves. It was said that the old Xiong like bamboo leaves.

The luxurious pavilion was connected to the path to a garden. A small lake with five feet deep and a bridge across it. Under the moonlight, the lake reflected the stars and the moon on it. Adding a majestic aura of the place. This place was very expensive that only people like the Xiong family could rent it. Minutes that spend here was equaled to millions.

However, it was worth it. This was one of the reasons why many people wanted to be invited to the Xiong Empire's banquet. Aside from having connections, their reason also was to step inside in this expensive pavilion, a once in a lifetime experience.

The guest did not exceed in a hundred. But with the musicians, waiters, staff, and dancers, the number of people in the pavilion would be an amount of more than three hundred.

The people were wearing expensive ancient clothes according to the theme.

The sounds of chattering became livelier as time passed. Then there was a commotion at the entrance.

In the pathway, Xiong Bilan, the first master of Xiong Ci (second) mansion and his two sons were walking towards the pavilion. The moment they step foot in the pavilion, the guests flock to them and sang praises. Xiong Bilan was satisfied with the attention the rich people gave him. Even though he only managed the business in Canada, he still holds a big amount of power since he was managing the 5% of Xiong Empire. His two sons were the same. They had been leaving in Canada and they did not have that kind of popularity than here in China. They even saw a lot of big shots here who wanted to talk to them. This was the power of being a Xiong. No matter what branches they were, from Xiong Ci Mansion or from Xiong Bing Deng (third) Mansion they were revered.

(A/N: to make it clear, the nth generation has three sons. Old Xiong, Xiong Wacai was given the title of the first descendant. It means that he was the heir, and his future sons will be the heir also, hence he was given the Xiong Mansion (main), the second son was Xiong Bilan who was given Xiong Ci (second) mansion. The third son was Xiong Gwen who was given the Xiong Bing Deng mansion (third) .)
