By eight o'clock in the evening, many guests had gathered in the courtyard of the Lu family residence. Some milled around the swimming pool, surrounded by beautiful female escorts. The others chatted leisurely in the brightly-lit banquet hall.
In front of the house was a fleet of luxury cars and many luxurious gifts.
Everyone had been discussing Hu Tianba's sudden death.
"The Sirius Society is finished!" "That's the end of the Lu family!" and other rumors spread like wildfire.
Lu Ba, as the patriarch of the family and the head of the Sirius Society for the past forty years, did not explain or argue.
All he did was send out an invitation to the most influential people in Yenching.
The invitation read, "You are invited to Lu Ba's ninth wedding ceremony tonight."
That invitation immediately dispelled all rumors. The Sirius Society and the Lu family were still going strong. In fact, they were even planning a wedding celebration!
The rumors were all but baseless!
Indeed, the guests were all praising Lu Ba.
"I guess that's why they call Master Lu the king of the criminal underworld. I don't think any other individual can remain calm in the face of such a major crisis!"
With such a powerful individual leading the gang, it would not be surprising if the Sirius Society continued to be the most powerful faction in Yenching's criminal underworld for the next one hundred years.
Of course, the main topic of discussion was none other than Lu Ba's ninth wife.
"Master Lu is so lucky to marry a beautiful wife at his age. I wish I could follow suit!" an elderly CEO in a suit said with a smile.
