Once Dullahan and Libera had settled, Karl instructed Leo to summon the others. "Leo, I want you to call Dolrik, Rook, and the three executives. Gather the research team as well. We have something very important to discuss."
"Yes, my lord," Leo nodded, a smile on his face. Rook, walking beside him, also nodded in agreement.
Later, Karl sat on a sofa in the guest room, facing a semicircle of his most trusted subordinates: Dolrik, Rook, Leo, the three executives, the eccentric researchers, Dullahan, and Libera. A silent pressure filled the room, a sense of anticipation for what Karl was about to say.
He began, his voice calm but authoritative. "I have called all of you here today because we have reached a critical threshold in our company's growth. Though it is early, we must not wait for a crisis to act. But first, before we move to the main discussion, I need a full report on the events that transpired while we were away."
