Manny had just returned from a successful deal, having accepted a proposal for cooperation from other guilds. A wide smile stretched across his face, knowing that thanks to the masked Holder Eka, the guild's future looked promising. If he hadn't seized the opportunity to recruit him, Manny would still be on the streets, scavenging for Holders.
Lost in his thoughts, Manny's phone suddenly rang. He cleared his throat before answering.
"Hello?"
"This is from the Government, is this…"
Manny immediately straightened up to address the caller. After a brief conversation, he leaned back with a renewed smile. The Government wanted to establish close ties with them, and Manny responded politely. Just this conversation alone boded well for the future.
"I should call my sister!" Manny suddenly remembered his sister, who was currently in another country.
