Palmer looked up, his gaze meeting the icy calmness of Master Rainer’s eyes, which held a glint of frost

“You know, Palmer, this girl might not have mentioned it, but we Polaris folks are particular about our turf. Even if it’s of no use anymore. you shouldn’t have trespassed.”

Palmer wasn’t cowed by the warning. He met Master Rainer’s gaze, his voice steady and calm ‘No offense intended, but I’ve got my own matters to investigate Id appreciate your understanding.”

“You are Noella’s mentor, so it’s only right to show respect.”

Mizar chimed in, “What’s wrong with a bad reputation? Our boss here doesn’t exactly have the best rep either”

“That’s true. Our outfit has achieved a zero–complaint record on all missions. Both clients and fargets have nothing but rave reviews!”

“Alright, Пll leave it

Mizar muttered, “Boss, I sneakily glanced at Master Rainer’s phone. He was secretive about it and wouldn’t let me see. I’m going to tail him for the next couple of days!”

“Do as you wish, but don’t expect me to bail you out if you get caught.”
