Clown hastily responded, "Yes, it's my inadequacy that requires your personal intervention."
With a disdainful snort, Daniel retorted, "At least you're aware, useless one!"
"Daniel!"
"Dan!"
"Are you okay? We're here to back you up!"
A series of shouts echoed from the stairwell.
Daniel recognized them immediately as the voices of Alex, Mike, and Julia.
Clown was quick to pick up on the situation. "Sir, shall we retreat for now?"
Without a hint of emotion, Daniel nodded, "If there's any matter, I will contact you directly or have Wes inform you."
At this, Clown produced a glass vial from his pocket, cradling it gently in his hand.
"This is our latest successful creation, the Genetic Enhancement Elixir. This is the only one. I originally intended to use this as a token to secure a meeting with the Godfather. But now, I offer it to you, the respected Sir Daniel."
