Silence had overtaken the Association Head's office. Molly turned to leave, but she was suddenly stopped by a voice.
"Who was that child, Molly?"
"Replying to Association Head, I am unsure. He only seemed interested in acquiring a Valor Honor Card. At first he planned on spending ten million gold coins before he realized it was impossible and learned that this was his only method."
"'Replying to Association Head'? Is that how you speak to your grandfather?"
If Ryu had been here, he would have nodded in understanding. Why else would someone in such an esteemed position know the name of a mere receptionist? Though… It was odd that a woman with such an esteemed background was relegated to such a role in the first place. But, considering the cold attitude she had toward her grandfather, maybe that made more sense than not.
