The hot summer night was perfect for barbecue skewers.
At a street food stall, the atmosphere was lively.
The late hour did nothing to dampen people's enthusiasm for barbecue, and the vendor was busy with orders.

The group of people there had an unmistakable presence.
The men sat on small stools, their presence intimidating enough to keep others at a distance.
The two women, though dressed casually, were strikingly beautiful. They both carried a natural grace that suggested they were young ladies of means, stepping out to enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday life.
"What's with all these bigwigs here?" someone whispered. “I've never seen them around." "Pretty people always stick together," another replied.
"Oh God, I'm surrounded by so many rich and beautiful people. Why can't I be one of them?" a third lamented. "Am I imagining things, or does that guy's watch look incredibly expensive?" someone else asked.
"No wonder they stand out. You can tell they're loaded!” another exclaimed.
The men sat somewhat awkwardly on the small stools, looking a bit out of place. "Are we seriously going to eat without any beer?" Moses glanced at the fruit juice and milk on the table, a slight twitch at the corner of his lips. Karina grabbed a milk bottle and twisted off the cap. "Who says you need beer for a barbecue?" she replied. Nate said nothing, quietly grabbing a warm bottle of milk. “Is that a problem?" Corrine raised an eyebrow and fixed her gaze on Moses.
Moses quickly backtracked. "No, no, it's fine. Really, it's fine." "Stop chatting and start working," Zack said, tossing Moses a handful of raw skewers to grill.
Moses rolled up his sleeves and began grilling the skewers.
"Nate, now that we're back in Lyhaton, we're sticking around for a while, right?" Moses handed a grilled pork skewer to Karina, signaling her to try it.
Karina hesitated for a moment but then quickly took the skewer.
"Yeah," Nate replied casually, handing Corrine the milk bottle with a straw. "What's going on?" “I'm thinking of buying sland down south," Moses said with a shrug.
Corrine's eyes darkened slightly at the news, but she maintained a m neutral expression, continuing to eat and drink.
The southern region had been a key market for the Ashton family, who had recently been bidding on projects there. Moses's move seemed like a direct challenge to them.
