He was overjoyed and suddenly filled with a sense of relief, as if he had finally seen the moonlight through the clouds. In front of Halueth, Ethlando, the seasoned CEO who had weathered countless storms, felt strangely powerless. It was as if a poor man had suddenly come into a treasure, and yet didn't know how to spend it.
