Sitting in his comfortable chair, Master Ansell, with his elbows resting on the desk and his fingers interlocked before his mouth, stared at the figure before him with a deadly serious but also pondering look.
Behind him, Lia, her secretary stood calmly, her pretty face showing a mix of awe and uncertainty.

"So let me get this straight. You are willing to help us clear the Calamity Gate in exchange for a few Realm Domain Cores? Is that correct?"
"That is, indeed correct."
Raven, who sat opposite the chairman of the Realm Association, wearing his typical white suit and a golden mask, nodded softly and added;
"Furthermore, if you are willing to accept my offer, I will also share something I am pretty sure no one knows about the Realm Cores, not even the Realm Association."
"Huh?"
