The elderly man briefly reminisced about the mutual support he and his wife shared over the years, his usually deep and inscrutable eyes softened with tenderness, and the sharp aura around him suddenly diminished, making his entire demeanor more gentle.
This change surprised the middle-aged man seated around him; he had followed this big shot for many years but had rarely seen him openly display his emotions. He turned to look at Aiden Grant sitting opposite him, and couldn't help but regard this younger member of The Grant Family with newfound respect.
The big shot's emotional exposure lasted only a brief moment. He reined in the gentle aura, returning to his usual composed and serious self: "Aiden, report this task to everyone."
Aiden Grant stood up immediately at the words, his upright posture exuding a convincing energy. He spoke at a deliberate pace with clear enunciation, presenting his report to everyone present.
