Expansion began immediately.
Not reckless.
Not aggressive.
Strategic.
New goods.
Better presentation.
Improved structure.
The shop transformed—not dramatically, but noticeably.
Customers lingered longer.
Bought more.
Returned consistently.
Kael watched it all with a grin.
"…You're building something real."
Andres nodded.
"Yes."
But his gaze wasn't on the shop.
It was beyond it.
Because this—
This was only the beginning.
