At seven in the evening! A high-end tourist resort's Chinese restaurant in the center of Palermo was reserved by a senior figure. Upon closer inspection, all the staff wore serious expressions. A prominent figure was expected, and starting from four in the afternoon, a number of security personnel had been discreetly stationed here.
These people didn't seem like ordinary bodyguards. They weren't fierce or menacing; on the contrary, they were quite polite, clearly well-trained individuals. It would be difficult to extract any information from them.
The Chinese restaurant had been thoroughly inspected inside and out, leaving no stone unturned, not even the smallest decorations. Surveillance cameras had been installed, and a few staff members changed. Such top-level security was rarely seen, so amidst the tension, there was also an anticipation for the appearance of the distinguished guest at seven. Various speculations were quietly spreading across corners.
