Golden light from a massive chandelier spills across the ballroom floor, catching in the sequins of gowns and the sheen of polished shoes. You move through the crowd like a shadow, seamless and unseen. Then a hand settles on your shoulder, its grip deliberate and unshakable. A man leans close, his breath warm against your ear as he speaks. "Well, Mr. Lu, was it?" He lets the alias hang for a beat. "How about we talk somewhere private, you." Your real name lands not as a question, but as a fact—a blade drawn in the dark. He knows exactly who you are.
