Albert Past

— Astral Building —

In the exclusive Intelligence Department floor, Albert sat in his private office, listening intently to a report from the shadow morph he had dispatched to gather information on Juan Carlos and his associates. He focused on the swirling mist orb before him, the source of the shadow morph's voice.

A cunning smirk spread across Albert's face as he absorbed the report's details, particularly the conversation between Mr. Li, the Qing Empire diplomat, and Juan Carlos de Almeida, the Supreme Ruler of the Seraphine Isles. The smirk grew into a wide grin as he listened, resembling a child hearing increasingly impressive specifications about a coveted toy. This was right up his alley.

"Very interesting, very interesting indeed," Albert remarked, "Good work. Now return to your station until further notice."

"Yes, my lord," the shadow morph's distorted voice replied. The swirling mist orb then dispersed, vanishing into thin air.
