“I remember everything now.” I blinked once. The thing I’d been afraid of was now finally happening. “Y-you do?” I said. I myself was not even sure if it was a question or a statement. Arzhel looked at me. I tried to read him, if remembering everything made him mad or not. But I couldn’t read an

Janna hesitantly nodded. “I’ll talk to Arzhel too. We will cancel the launching of our mall branch and main branch. We will send the stocks here in New York.” Janna nodded. “Don’t worry, we’ll recover again. Once the insurance is released, we can start with the rebuilding,” I said. Hopefully th
