Roughly eighty minutes later, the lunch banquet finally came to an end, and after a lengthy meal, the atmosphere gradually settled into a calmer rhythm as everyone dispersed toward their assigned guest chambers, leaving only Kiara behind in a private meeting room where a more important conversation was waiting to unfold.
Seated around a circular table were only three people.
Kiara.
Caleb Crescent.

At first, the conversation remained harmless.
"Well, at the moment, I'm on urgent business, so the plans regarding the branch store will have to wait for a few more weeks," Kiara replied calmly when the topic shifted toward the status of the weapon store.

Buildings had been prepared.
Warehouses had been allocated.
Everything was waiting for the grand opening.
As a result, Caleb could not help feeling slightly disappointed.
Still, compared to the real reason he wanted this private meeting, the store was a minor matter.
