Clement’s attention was entirely on Elise’s silver needle. He was so caught up in it that he didn’t respond in time. For a typical man, that couldn’t have been more normal; but for a robotic man, who only responded to orders from their masters, as he was, his daze was significantly notable. It wasn’t until every eye in the room turned to him did he regain his senses and carried Jackson out of the room.

After Elise sent over the address, the user logged off.

He seemed so gentle, but one couldn’t help but feel wary of him, as if he would stab them in the back when they had their guard down. After he said that, the courtyard was filled with
