Chapter 104: The Favor (2)
—
The Dawn Mercenary Guild — Chairman Office
The voice that drifted through the speaker carried no hesitation, only quiet determination.
"I need a favor, Chairman."
Denzo leaned back in his chair, his thick fingers drumming against the desk scattered with legal contracts.
Even through the static of the call, he could feel the weight behind Michael's words.
It was the first time the boy—no, his shareholder had asked for something since joining hands with the Dawn Mercenary Guild.
Denzo's lips curled into a grin. "Go ahead. I'm listening."
There was a pause. A breath, carefully measured. Then Michael spoke.
"I know this isn't a request for the guild's benefit. It's… personal. But I hope the chairman doesn't mind."
"Hah!" Denzo's laughter rolled through the room, startling Suzi, who had just set down a cup of coffee on the side table.
"Mr. Michael, you're not just an investor. You are our major shareholder."
