Everyone knew that landing a license from CICI Group was a guaranteed win. There was no way to lose.

Raymond had no idea why such a golden opportunity had landed in his lap, but he figured it probably had something to do with Citrine.

"He's not in great shape, and I'm worried about him being on his own."
