Meanwhile, in the Skyline Plaza...

Men in suits stood quietly in the corners of the room, holding their breaths and keeping their eyes down. Tension hung in the air, and the only sound they could hear was their own breathing.

In the middle of the room, a set of couches held a few seated individuals, including medical professionals tending to the man on the couch. They carefully adjusted his IV drips and treated the scratches on his temple and arms with such precision and care, as if they were handling a complex transplant.

The ones administering Zoren's IV gulped, only to hear Zoren's next remark.

"It will hurt then.

"Right..." Ray cleared his throat and froze, letting everyone finish their work first. When they finished, he saw the medical team heave a sigh of relief. "I feel sorry for them.

He shook his head and quickly jumped to Zoren's side. "Cousin, what happened?"

The IVs were a normal occurrence and a familiar sight to Ray, even from their childhood.
