The room was shrouded in shadows, the dim light casting an eerie glow upon the faces of the three hooded figures seated before Laison. Despite the tension that hung thick in the air, Laison remained composed, his wide signature smile unwavering as he addressed his clients.
"Acquiring those artifacts will be no easy task," he began, his voice smooth and confident. "But for the right price, I would definitely able to pull some strings and secure them for you."
The urgency in the client's voice was palpable as one of the three hooded figures interjected, "Price doesn't matter. We need those artifacts by tomorrow."
Laison's smile faltered slightly at the urgency in the request, but he quickly regained his composure. "Of course, my friends," he replied smoothly. "I will ensure that everything is in order for your delivery."
