'...What is he plotting?'
Soren's thoughts raced behind his calm eyes.
He learned a bit about this man in the past two days, mostly from the briefings Miss Seria had shared before the trial.
Ziso Vale was not just a powerful corporate figure; he was a renowned 5th-circle hunter who had carved out his empire with both blood and intellect.
He was a man obsessed with his own standing and the unblemished reputation of the Vale family name. More importantly, he was ruthless, analytical, and entirely willing to sever any limb, including his own flesh and blood, if it meant preserving the core of his power.
Facing someone who operated strictly on cold logic and calculated returns, Soren decided to gather a different kind of data.
With his hand still resting casually in his coat pocket, Soren silently activated his skill.
'Investor's Insight.'
