Owen Bertram quietly pushed Verna back and calmly asked the four of them, "Where is your young master?"
The four lifted their heads and looked simultaneously toward the side of the long street. Next to them stood a tall building with a plaque bearing large gold letters on a black background: Five Tripod Cuisine. This was a high-end restaurant in the capital.
The window facing the street was pushed open, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man stood inside, inviting them with a smile and clasped hands, "My name is Bob Cooper, I would like to invite Mr. Bertram and his esteemed sister upstairs for a chat. I was afraid of being forward, so I sent some humble gifts to show my intentions."
