Wesley carried an aura of calm and certainty about him. His composure wasn’t just superficial. It emanated from a profound grasp of his present circumstances.
He had intimate knowledge of the vast reach and influence of his company. More than that, he was cognizant of the powerful allies he had nurtured in secret, the critical importance of the laboratory, and the unique technique to manage and rejuvenate malevolent spirits.
This extensive awareness and understanding transformed him, someone who might be seen as just an ordinary businessman, into a figure of significant importance.
So, when Wesley found himself standing before Miles, a known ghost tamer, he didn’t cower or show apprehension. Perhaps the only unease he felt came from a natural trepidation towards the supernatural. But Wesley was confident: if there was any shred of rationale left in Miles, the young tamer would refrain from harming him. The reality was that these ghost tamers, including Miles, depended on Wesley’s company for their livelihoods.
Addressing Miles, Wesley said, “Miles, I’ve done my research on you. I’m privy to your family’s history and the circumstances of your upbringing. Life for you wasn’t rosy growing up in a single-parent home. It was filled with challenges. Your unexpected encounter with a ghost during your high school years was probably a turning point, pushing you towards the life of a ghost tamer. Aiming for a better social standing and wealth, given your past, isn’t surprising. I may sound blunt, but it’s just the reality. I don’t look down on such ambitions in people like you. If you decide to work alongside me, you’ll find that these dreams can soon become tangible.”
With a subtle gesture towards one of his subordinates, he inquired, “Manager Sun, how much did we quote Mr. Miles for the spirit he’s captured?”
“Going rate is 100 million,” Manager Sun replied promptly.
Wesley nodded in acknowledgment. Refocusing on Miles, he continued, “I understand and respect the risks you took with this supernatural case. But I must clarify that I’m not aware of the documents you referred to. They hold information that is deeply confidential. My role as the owner of the company doesn’t grant me access to such sensitive paranormal records. There seems to be some confusion on your end.”
