The lady's expression returned to calm neutrality.
"Not everyone enjoys bloodshed and violence, Mr. Rain."
West tilted his head.
"But you could make way more money."
She shrugged slightly.
"Not everything is about money."
Then she added quietly:
"I enjoy the lack of constant competition."
"No betrayal."
"No backstabbing."
"Just work."
West looked genuinely surprised as she continued calmly.
"I think I'm fine here."
West studied her for a moment upon realizing that she was definitely different.
Most awakeners chased power endlessly but she seemed content with something simple.
The transaction was finally completed and the funds transferred....
$520,000
West stood up.
"Pleasure doing business."
The lady's bowed slightly in respect while he turned to leave but then he remembered something.
He suddenly pulled the Cryoheart shard out of his inventory.
The room temperature dropped slightly as the icy crystal appeared.
He placed it gently on the table.
