Instead of heading directly home after his class, Ren decided to make a detour to Griffin's research lab. The huge facility was bustling with activity, scientists and engineers moving about.
As soon as Ren stepped inside, familiar voices greeted him from all directions.
"Hello, young master," one of the lab assistants called out with a warm smile, pausing in their work.
Another voice followed quickly, "Oh, young master is here. Going to meet your dad?"
Ren gave a polite nod, a faint smile playing on his lips as he acknowledged the greetings. He walked toward the elevator that would take him to the higher floors, where his father's private research office was located.
Ren stepped out of the elevator and was immediately greeted by the familiar sight of Soleil, his father's trusted assistant.
"Young master? I didn't know you were coming," Soleil Vox said with a warm smile.
