"[Congratulations, Master, you've become a rich boy!]" The system's enthusiastic voice echoed in Merlin's mind.
"Pfft! Thank you, system. But really, I only earned that much because of you," he replied humbly.
"[Hehehe! You're making me blush,]" the system giggled.
Merlin: "..."
He wanted to say, "Can you not overact? That's just disgusting."
But he held back, not wanting to ruin the mood.
"Is it done, Young Master?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from behind. Merlin turned his head and saw the same man who had welcomed and escorted him to Eliza's office.
"It's done. Thank you..." His words trailed off as his eyes landed on the name tag on the man's chest. "Edward."
Edward smiled with a small nod. "You're welcome, Young Master. Then, allow me to escort you out."
Merlin didn't refuse. Edward led him toward the exit. Although the man had no idea whether Merlin had made any transactions in Alkira, he still treated him as a valued guest.
