Chapter 65
"I’m here for two main reasons," said Xu Yidi. He looked down at the thick notebook in front of him. The breakfast ware had all been cleaned away leaving room for only serious discussions.
The dining table had become a round conference table and around it sat Bran, Misha, Xu Yidi, Malcolm, Aunt Yeung, Cheungyi, Ah-Boon and another woman who Misha didn’t know but assumed should be associated with Gou Ngaam (based on the fact that the woman’s lower half was in the shape of a snake’s and she had the same calming aura).
"The first reason is to give an update to Misha Long and Bran D’Arcy on some matters they were involved with, namely... the mindscape of a mundane girl named Coral Chan has been cleansed of all contamination, and the issue with currency fluctuations has been resolved and the exchange rates are back to normal."
"Coral’s better," Misha said happily. "I’m glad to hear that!"
"Helen said you might be," said Xu Yidi.
"Do they know who was messing about with the currencies yet?" asked Bran.
"This is... that matter involving the Walled City transparent Coil, is it not?" cut in Aunt Yeung.
"It is," said Bran. "The nostalgia generated by the residents of the place was being substituted for gratitude and sent the whole market out of whack."
"I believe Gou Ngaam complained about the price of buying materials..."
"As did Master Bou," mentioned Ah-Boon, a hand raised up like a student in a class.
Aunt Yeung shook her head. "Such worldly matters," she muttered.
