Soon enough, Nathan and Sophia received a sudden meeting notification.
"A meeting? Outta nowhere? What for?" Nathan muttered, puzzled.
They'd just had a call not long ago, and the newly developed Crystal Core Armaments hadn't even been delivered yet...
Still, curiosity got the better of him. He and Sophia logged into the virtual conference room together.
Moments later, beams of light shimmered in the digital space, gradually forming three figures.
Richard. Nathan. Sophia.
"Huh?"
Nathan immediately sensed something was off. The entire virtual hall was empty except for the three of them—none of the other branch leaders were present.
Why just the two of them? Did someone find out he'd been slacking off and playing cards?
Wait... was this some kind of disciplinary meeting?
Richard's expression didn't help—his face was dark, eyes sharp and brooding.
