While Max lingered around Sanna and Sheri, listening to Warma field introductions, a certain pattern became painfully clear.
Every time Sanna had the chance, she praised the Billion Bloodline Group endlessly. She called them visionary, ground-breaking, the kind of organization that could see the future before it arrived. At the same time, she slipped in little jabs toward Max. Subtle at first, then sharper as the conversation went on.
"If only you could learn from a group like theirs, Max," she said at one point with a polite smile, though her eyes gleamed with scorn. "You should take their example. Perhaps you could even do an internship with them. It would give you something useful to do while you figure yourself out."
