"Welcome aboard!"
He said, his voice smooth and casual as if this were nothing more than a routine meeting between old friends.
"I appreciate you trusting me enough to meet in person."
"Let's cut to the chase."
Alex replied, his tone guarded.
"You said you had information about the Red Demons and why they left Telorn. We're listening."
Donald gestured toward a small meeting room just off the corridor.
"All in good time. First, let's get comfortable. After all, this conversation could take a while."
Mira shot Alex a warning glance, but he simply nodded for her to stay calm.
They followed Donald into the room, taking seats opposite him at a sleek metal table.
The air was thick with unspoken tension.
However while they were taking their seats, Mira leaned over and whispered into Alex's ear.
"Something's off, I can't get a feel for this guy's aura…"
