****(POV)
Old Jones remembered the kid. The youngling had tried playing him for a fool by scamming 100 000 credits out of him. He was now here at Eons.
The fool antagonized both the father and the daughter. Well, at least Jones was relieved that she had lost interest in him. After all, No father would ever accept his daughter becoming infatuated with a man.
Jones hadn't stopped the kid from entering. Now, he was spying on him from the comfort of what could only be called an underground bunker. Yes, the whole basement had been designed to resist any head-on invasion.
As for someone attacking him by surprise, he wasn't worried either. He was at best a sub-par Climber, but he wasn't helpless either. He trusted his judgment enough. He would never let anyone with malice even enter his sanctuary in the first place.
