Talon continued meeting with potential collaborators for his film project, and this time, he met with Paolo.
"The story is pretty good. It's impressive that you found a script like this," Paolo commented after briefly reading the script Talon handed him.
However, Paolo shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips downward. "But I'm not sure this project can be successful, Talon. It's too ambitious. What's on your mind?"
Talon calmly met Paolo's gaze. Even though Paolo often had a cynical and pessimistic attitude, Talon believed he could persuade his former rival from the Veil of Illusions.
"What do you need to be convinced? What do you require to join this project?" Talon asked, his tone slightly persuasive.
Paolo paused for a moment, deep in thought. Then he replied, "I want to know the full cast of your film," he said with a hint of a sarcastic smile. "Well, I need to be sure they're worth it for my career. Or not."
