Hard Currency

The magnitude of Davute's opening offer was so great that Ves did not dare to voice any further decisions.

He needed to have a good talk with Minister Shederin Purnesse as well as other advisors in order to make the best possible decision at this junction.

This was why Shederin immediately called for a recess. He and Ves moved to another room in the conference building before requesting the virtual presence of a number of advisors.

General Verle, Director Calabast, Chief Shipwright Vivian Tsai and Chief Minister Abigail Evern all gathered around a smaller conference table.

With Ves, Lucky, Calabast and the Black Cats employing their own precautions to secure the communication channels, it was unlikely for Davute to be able to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Ves went straight to this business. "Vivian, Abigail, the two of you are our highest-ranking naval experts. How would you judge the value of Davute's offer?"
