The Guard Captain thought for a moment, then nodded with understanding:
"Young Master, this move of yours is truly brilliant! I understand."
Then he hesitated slightly and asked in a low voice:
"It's just... when do we start the real plan, so I can adjust the defense measures in time to avoid any mistakes."
"Right before the auction."
The young man stood up and walked steadily to the window, hands clasped behind his back.
What lay outside was not a dark wilderness, but a cityscape dazzling with lights.
The office was spacious, with decor as luxurious as possible.
A large floor-to-ceiling window occupied the entire wall, overlooking a scene that unfolded like a magnificent painting beneath his feet.
Colorful billboards graced the glass façades, the tail lights of cars formed flowing streams of light, adorning the city as if it were daylight.
