"Here you go." Yen carefully set a box on the table, intending to hand it over to Grey, who had just finished washing the dishes. Seated together at the dining area, they enjoyed their breakfast while engaged in conversation.Yen gently nudged the box toward Grey. "These are Qi Gathering Pills. Each one is valued at 1,200,000 Khartos, so be mindful because there are only twenty in there. That should fetch you 24,000,000 Khartos if you manage to sell them all."Grey carefully examined the neatly arranged pills within the smaller boxes, and his nod signaled his understanding. "Understood," he affirmed. After a brief pause, he decided to broach another important topic. "And what about the means of securing the payments, as I had requested?"Yen continued to eat his breakfast methodically, appreciating the flavor before addressing Grey's question. "I've taken care of that as well. For today, I suggest you bring something like a briefcase; it should suffice to hold the entire payment. You

Concluding the interview, Yen escorted Dr. Trish out of the meeting room, guiding her to the floor directly above where his office, the Managing Director's office, and her soon-to-be workspace were located.Upon their arrival, Yen wasted no time in taking her to Director Rotlitch's office, facilitating the introduction. "Director Rotlitch," Yen began, "meet our newest addition, Dr. Trish, who will be working directly with me, or more accurately, under me." Yen's playful gesture, accompanied by a wobbly headshake, elicited a light chuckle from Trish."Dr. Trish, allow me to introduce Director Rotlitch, who serves as the head of the company in place of my teacher and mentor," Yen presented with a light-hearted chuckle. "He's so trustworthy that I'd leave my wife with him after my death, though I don't have one." His laughter punctuated the remark."Welcome to Yuan Pharmaceuticals," Director Rotlitch greeted warmly, extending his hand for a handshake. Trish reciprocated the gesture, thei

As the room gradually brightened, revealing its contents and the identity of the speaker, Grey could now see the source of the welcoming voice. Without hesitation, he offered a respectful bow toward the individual."My sincere greetings, Auction House Manager," Grey conveyed with utmost courtesy. He accompanied his words with a gesture—a precise and practiced bow, his right hand crossing his chest and touching the edge of his left shoulder. It was a display of respect and formality befitting the occasion.The manager, a commanding presence seated on a chair that resembled a throne, exuded an air of authority. He was dressed in a sleek black suit adorned with subtle silver stripes, an outfit that complemented his well-groomed appearance. Despite the hint of age in his features, the manager's hair was a glossy shade of black, and his deep brown eyes held an enigmatic allure. Scars etched across his face, with the most prominent one slicing across his left cheek, passing between his nose

Yen settled into his car as the day came to a close, bidding farewell to Dr. Trish who had left a few minutes earlier. With their discussion with Rotlitch now concluded, it was time for him to make his way home.He started the engine and revved it a few times, a satisfied nod accompanying the resonating sound. This vehicle, aside from Stem, was undoubtedly one of his most cherished possessions. As he pulled out of the company lot, Yen looked forward to the comforts of his home after a productive day.Yen pressed on the gas pedal and smoothly maneuvered his car through the company's gate, offering a friendly farewell to the guards stationed there.Considering that Grey had only prepared breakfast earlier and was currently absent, Yen opted to make a detour to his favorite restaurant. Cooking was not on his agenda for the evening, and the prospect of indulging in a steaming bowl of ramen adorned with a variety of delectable toppings, complemented by a hearty bowl of chicken soup, sounde

Later that night, Yen and Grey departed from the house, making their way to a car dealership.Following their meal, Yen and Grey had a conversation during which Grey acknowledged that he could manage to obtain his own identification documents. Recognizing their importance, especially as he began working more, these documents included his passport, driver's license, and various others.Having established that Grey could independently secure his required identification documents, Yen opted to spare Rotlitch from any further inconveniences. His primary objective now was to provide Grey with a car to avoid a recurrence of the earlier incidents involving honking cars.This was the motivation behind their current outing, with Yen driving them to the location where he had procured his own vehicle."What kind of car are you looking for?" Yen inquired as he drove, with Grey seated beside him."I don't really know. I'll figure it out when we get there," Grey responded with a nonchalant shrug. "
