Will had even heard Kyle complain about the customers teasing him as well. Twice a week he would sneak into the forest for food, furs and leather. His arm had finally regained some mobility, it wasn't as strong as before, but Will wasn't disabled at least. He had created his own little 'workstation' in a cave he had found on a hillside in the forest. It had some smaller tools he had stolen from the various shops in the town. He never took much. At first he thought about leaving some coins behind, however he didn't really know the value of things. So Will figured it didn't matter if he took it without paying. Maybe someday he could pay them back in another way.

I decided that I had time enough for one more task before then. The next thing on my list was to 'produce a budget report', something which was definitely not a strong-point of mine. I knew how to read a budget report, but had never been asked to make one. Deciding that I would need to outsource some knowledge, I made my way down to the accounting department to see what they could do for me. "Well well well," the head of the department greeted me as I entered his office. "To what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?"

Finally, she let out a breath. “Alright, listen carefully, because I’m only saying this once. That tracking dust? The glittery stuff you can’t see but apparently burnt into your skin?” She gave a humorless smile. “It’s outlawed in the magical world. According to Lera, it’s one of the most dangerous things anyone can create. And guess who made it first?” The way she paused told me she wanted me to guess, but my brain was already a tangled knot of panic. “…The Moon Blessed?,” I asked slowly.

-ADRIAN POV- I've built my career on the principle that control is everything. It's the only thing that separates the people who succeed from the people who get swept away by circumstance and emotion. Control is knowing exactly what will happen before it happens. Control is building systems that work regardless of external chaos. Control is keeping the world at arm's length so nothing can touch what I've carefully constructed. And I'm very, very good at control. Which is why the assignment Marcus just handed me is simultaneously the most strategic opportunity of my career and the most genuinely irritating thing that's happened to me in months.

His two thumbs were supporting his chin. "What's that?", Kaylee asked in worry "Where would we make it? I would have said we should use the garage but it is packed with cars and some stuffs my Dad kept there. The remaining space in there would be too small and it would not be enough for the project. What I am saying is, the freedom of movement would be limited when we bring the pieces of equipment for the project too. It won't be convenient for us to make the pinhole camera", Kavinsky explained with a frown.

I said now also feeling frantic because of his question, “Mel, I can’t be on this line long. I need you to pack some stuff, get ready to leave I’ll phone you an a bit, oh and don’t forget the information on the creations, we need everything you’ve got Mel, do you hear me?” gulping I nodded, not that he could see it so I quickly whispered, “Okay,” and in the next breath the line was dead.

A smile crammed her face. “This is regarding one of the companies I want us to partner with,” he said, taking a paper and a Bic in his hand. “Stone Enterprise, precisely.” Stone Enterprise, Victoria kept it to her brain. “What do we have with them?” She asked, however, taking her phone in her hand. She swiped up and located her notepad, then began to type Stone Enterprise for a start. “They have created an AI creation, and it is out for sale.” “An AI creation?” The confused Victoria asked. “What can we possibly need that for?”

POV Ruby "I can do this. I can do this. I HAVE to do this." I mumbled to myself as I wobbled out of my room. It was late or early, depending on your point of view. I had managed to send them all home a few minutes ago. Mom, Slivia and Cassy all wanted to spend the night but I had argued and Varg drove them home with promises that they would be back in a few hours. I knew that I had to be quick but I needed to see it. To be sure.

Calantha worried, she said "Then I just leave it like this, don’t I?" Mary comforted, “Don't worry. Wait for another month and the signs will disappear completely. S-rank alphas can store temporary marks for up to a month, but low-grade alphas' marks only last for a maximum of half a month. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky. And if you want to cover it, it's simple. In this era, science and technology have advanced. You just need to stick the patch, spray the antiperspirant on the Pheromones, then put on your incense bag and then you can go to work as usual. And be careful , okay."
