The huge city was silent except for a few lampposts giving off a warm orange glow.
In a guest room of a hotel, a window remained lit.
"Hmph… such detailed carvings… and such an invigorating fragrance…"
Thomas caressed the Aquilaria Maitreya in his hands and commented. "Chinese Country… such a magical place. I believe prophet will be extremely interested in this place…"
After admiring it for a long while, he finally kept the wooden figurine in his safe before taking out another ceramic bottle. "This incense as well… Night, do you have any explanation for what had happened today?"
"Very sorry, Mister, I was only thinking of securing the best price for you!"
Night took a deep bow and bent over 90 degrees.
"You do know… I hate it when my subordinates take their own initiatives. Make sure this is the last time it'll ever happen!"
Thomas rubbed his forehead. "Now… get out! I want to sleep!"
