Nico Haynes cast a glance at Dawn Sutherland, whose tone was indifferent yet concerned. Turning his head to Arlo Seys, upon seeing the deep expression on his face, he gritted his teeth with a look of reckless determination, "Drink! Today I'll bleed! Isn't it just 170,000? For the sake of Boss Seys feeling better, I'm willing!" With that said, he downed the red wine in his glass in one go and poured himself another glass.
The three exchanged smiles, not saying much, and raised their glasses to clink against each other's before drinking it all down in one go.
Arlo Seys gazed at the remaining red liquid in the goblet, then slowly began, "I have made a private deal with Ariel Morris."
Nico Haynes and Dawn Sutherland both paused, waiting for him to continue.
Arlo Seys opened his thin lips, then said in a deep voice, "My Era enterprise is collaborating with the Morris Clan, I help the Morris Clan weather their crisis, and she---becomes my lover."
