"What is it?" Old Master Lenort flipped to the next side of the paper in his hand and stamped on it.
Ryan looked over at Lumian before saying, "He wishes to have a meeting with you."
This statement had Old Master Lenort stopping what he was doing. He lifted his head and looked at Ryan.
"Meaning?"
Ryan let out a soft breath. "He said that he will not carry out this task if you do not grant him an audience with you."
Old Master Lenort was stunned for a moment. What sort of man was this? What even gave him the audacity to make such an absurd request?
"Who is this man?"
"He is Mr. Bennet Pons," Ryan replied.
