Chapter 59
I received Tora’s ledger from Aleph. When I inserted the chip into the terminal to check, I found transaction records spanning over a dozen years.
"You’re as resourceful as ever, Young Master. To think you’ve already negotiated with La Vie en Rose."
Aleph said this as he saw me off. Even without an introduction, he already knew where Grace was affiliated.
Aleph didn’t ask me what I intended to do with Tora’s ledger. He was a clever man—quick-witted and adept at catering to the powerful.
Grace and I left the arena.
"Sir Luka, do you trust Aleph?"
Grace asked bluntly. She was in the middle of grabbing a pickpocket’s arm and snapping it. The sound of a cheap prosthetic breaking echoed.
"Do I look like I trust that man? If I did, you might as well rip out your remaining eye."
"That’s exactly why I’m saying this. Diva would be a better—"
"Your boss is no different. An unpredictable, fickle woman."
As I spoke ill of Martina, Grace furrowed her brow slightly. Her loyalty was impressive.
