Russell Mertens left the office with no strange reaction or emotion on his face. It wasn't until he was quite far from the City Lord Manor that he sighed.
"Is there a problem, sir?"
The hover car Russell rode was quite similar to those luxurious cars on Earth, except for the fact that it was more technologically advanced and expensive.
In the front seat sat a man who looked to be quite old. He was the butler of the Mertens family and Russell's personal assistant for over thirty years. In a sense, one could say that he was the only person Russell could trust with his back.
"The city lord has changed." Russell sighed as he recalled the conversation he had earlier.
He then went on to narrate the experience to the butler.
"Forgive me, but nothing seems to be wrong." The butler replied after listening to the narration.
"Say what's in your mind." Russell wasn't buying the query.
"...you're right." The butler sighed.
