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

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

“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.”
