The conversation ended after he agreed with Master Willix to discuss their new arrangement in greater detail when he returned to civilized space.
He kept his face carefully composed as Master Willix's physical projection disappeared. Who knew whether this module was still transmitting recordings of him back to Centerpoint.
Inwardly, he felt both ecstatic and defeated.

Fortunately, his choice worked out. With the help of his persuasive ability, he managed to get Master Willix on his side.
This was the reason why he felt ecstatic!
