Second Young Master Sutton's probing gaze landed on the two technicians in work uniforms. "The Ninth Master isn't setting a trap, is he?"
"You jest, Second Young Master Sutton. Our boss is an honorable man and scorns such underhanded tactics," Evan Rhodes said calmly. "These two are from the most authoritative testing agencies in Metropia and Port Sovereign. If you're not at ease, Second Young Master Sutton, you can arrange for some of your own trusted Appraisers to join."
Second Young Master Sutton chuckled. "No, no, that won't be necessary. I trust the Ninth Master's character. It's just a formality. Please, proceed."
But Evan Rhodes didn't move. "No rush. We'll wait for Miss Sutton and do it all at once."
"Alright, she'll be here any minute. Assistant Rhodes, and all you elite members of the legal team, please, have a seat. Have some tea while you wait."
