The moment I stepped into the dimly lit room where Alpha Orion awaited Veronica, his surprise was palpable. His sharp gaze locked onto me, and with a stern expression, he demanded, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" The tension in the air was thick, and his men stood ready, awaiting his command to pounce on any perceived threat.
Maintaining my composure, I met his gaze without flinching. "You don't have to know who I am. I am a messenger, delivering whatever I am asked to deliver. Today, I bring these documents to you from Veronica. I helped recover them from some men, and now, having been paid by her, I am here to fulfill my duty as instructed." I spoke with confidence, my tone measured and assertive.
