Other than Aaran's question, the dinner went well.
Rex learned about all of them. Most came from a rich family that owned medium-scale businesses, with Aaran being the richest and also the one who indulged in politics. It was the reason why he knew—and could talk back against Aksa.
And because of that, he also had connections.
One that would allow him to gain access to the Cavity.
Frankly, Davina was planning to use this dinner to introduce Rex and at least show them his face.
She was mainly thinking about letting Rex get to know Aaran, but it's not going well.
Aaran, for the majority of the dinner, remained silent and talked only when asked directly.
"Your plan was to bring me here to get to know him?" Rex leaned over to Davina and whispered. "He's used to being the top dog of the group, and he won't appreciate my presence here. Just look at him. It's not working."
