Leonard Ethan and Mr. Valma enjoyed their conversation, as they found many common topics, such as tracing ancient cultures and discussing jewelry design. At the peak of their enjoyment, the two frequently raised their cups filled with black tea to toast each other.
Most Indian people only taste alcohol in moderation in public, and will only smoke in private if they are addicted to tobacco. Leonard Ethan, who neither smokes nor drinks alcohol, thinks very highly of this aspect of Indian people.
Perhaps it was because of the rapport between the two and the fact that there was no need to hide certain things that Leonard was able to gather a lot of information from Mr. Valma indirectly.
For example, one of the very important reasons why this diamond processing magnate wanted to establish a good relationship with Leonard was that he now hoped to expand his business into the jewelry industry.
