“Young Master, Master is waiting for you in the study. Please follow me.”
Wayne nodded, following Megan with the briefcase. He wondered if he was overthinking, but her usually expressionless face seemed grave.

Wayne entered the study with the briefcase. Megan closed the door and stood watch outside, making sure to set up a soundproofing barrier without delay. Auston turned around, frowning silently at the briefcase Wayne was holding.
“Auston, what is the trouble you mentioned in the call?” Wayne placed the briefcase on the desk, revealing the four items inside.

He gave Wayne a weird look, taking his silver coin from his breast pocket and fidgeting with it for a moment. “So they are in your possession. How did you do it?”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you have the exact information?” Wayne huffed. Damn the old man for cheating the truth out of him.
