Cecil was hanging around the shadowy alleyway near the hospital, waiting.

As soon as he heard the job was done, he was ecstatic and immediately arranged to meet Claire in the secluded alley.

Upon seeing Claire, he hurriedly asked, "Where's the money?"

Claire handed over the cash Elysia had given her, saying, "Here."

Cecil snatched it, frowning, "This is it?"
