Christopher appeared genuinely generous as he replied, “I have no use for it myself anyway. Besides, I gain a favor by giving it to you.”

“I can’t express my gratitude enough. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you ever need my help,” Dustin said. The Cherusia was invaluable, yet Christopher had given it to him without hesitation. Dustin was truly grateful to him.
