After finishing the call with Atlas, I glanced at the precious stone and carefully placed it in the safe in my office.

I didn’t care much for money, but I couldn't just leave a priceless gem that was worth billions lying on my desk, could I? To those who didn’t know, it was just an ugly rock that clashed with my office decor. To those who did know, it might seem like I was showing off.

Honestly, I wished I could return it. Accepting such a valuable gift without reason didn't sit well with me.
