Within a vast circular meeting room, people sat at their respective places, all abuzz with conversation.
In the midst of their discussions, Zhang Beixing, Liu Yi, Elder Chen, along with the president of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association, emerged from the side and took their seats.
The president of the Northern River Province Martial Arts Association glanced around at the assembled crowd.
He cleared his throat twice and spoke, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to travel far and wide to attend this meeting. I apologize for the sudden disturbance."
The president stood up and clas meninasped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute. He then sat down again and continued, "The reason we have urgently called you here is that we have a matter for which we'd like to request your assistance."
"Grandmaster Zhang, please."
