As I was headed to greet the grandson and grandpa duo, I received a call from Elliott.

[Elliott Calling… Answer /Reject/Reply]

[Answer]

"Hi, Elliott. How are you doing, buddy?" I answered the call with a casual greeting.

"Wyatt, I heard you recruited Fine Gold to help me. Have you gone insane? I thought we agreed on not trusting them, and you were smarter than this." Elliott replied, guns blazing.

"Well, let me explain…." Before I could even get to the part about Fine Gold being mine Elliott interrupted me.

"By the way, I didn't call you to make sure not to let you know about my family circumstances. How did you know about it? Did your people tell you? I ordered them not to inform you about it. Well, at least they are more loyal than my backstabbing brothers." Elliott misunderstood that the Kane trio had informed me about Elliott's family drama. They couldn't have because I ordered them to follow Elliott's arrangement. I basically handed their remote control to Elliott. They could not ignore Elliott's direct order.

"You got it wrong. It wasn't the Kane trio. You can trust them. They follow mercenary codes. Since you are paying them big bucks, they will follow your words like commands." I wanted Kane trio to follow Elliott because he lacked people he could trust. If Elliott's misunderstanding about the Kane trio continued, he would lose trust in them, then the point of me lending him control over the Kane trio would become meaningless.

"If it wasn't them, then who?" Elliott was skeptical about my words.

"It was Diana Keith. She came to me personally to inform me of your situation and negotiate a cooperative deal," I told the truth.

"She did what? Fock! Those sisters are right when their prey are weakest and right when to strike. Let me hear it, what kind of soul-selling deal have you made with them?" Elliott said in frustration.

"Well, I bought them." Technically they sold themselves to me, but it's all the same.

"What? You bought them. What do you mean by you bought them?" Elliott found my words hard to understand and couldn't help but repeat them.

"Yeah, you are talking to the highest shareholder of Fine Gold." I proudly announced.

"How did you achieve that? That company isn't in the market yet. Fine Gold's shares are split between the sisters." Elliott found it hard to believe my words.

"They sold me the shares on a promise that I would be the silent partner and give them the supply and distribution rights of Silver milk powder for the blossom district." This is what actually happened despite me bragging to Elliott earlier.

"No wonder, despite losing their company. Those two made a killing. Anyway, how are you dealing with all the rumors about you being a fraud spreading in the grimoire network? Why hasn't Anna come to defend you? And why are they launching an investigation into silver milk powder? Are they trying to cut you off after getting the complete recipe for silver milk powder?" This is a true friend. He cared about me despite me not living up to the promise, not a promise but an unspoken understanding.

When Elliott helped get the patent for silver milk powder in a day by introducing me to Anna, we had an unspoken understanding that I would give Elliott's family company the supply and distribution rights of Silver milk powder in Blossom District as a show of my appreciation for his help. But I ended up giving it to Fune Gold to swallow it.

"It's not like that. Things will become clear soon. I got it all under control. So don't worry." I decided not to go over the details and asked Elliott not to worry.

"If you say so. Anyway, thanks for the help. I was hesitant about using Fine Gold's help, but now that I know it is my buddy's company, I will no longer hold back. It is good to hear you are doing well, buddy. I have a lot of faces to slap and revenge to take. So I will be hanging up now. See you later." Elliott sounded like he has been through a lot these days and is eager to give back with interest.

"Sure, and don't worry about the Silver milk powder supply and distribution rights. In all the cities where your family company has its branches, I will order Diana to hand over the rights to your company." Seeing how Elliott did not complain about the silver milk rights, I decided to make my stance about it clear.

"You don't have to do that. You have already done a lot for me." I don't know if Elliott was being polite or he actually felt that way. Either way, Elliott helped me a lot by giving me the Dungeon Calamity seed and introducing me to Anna. This is just my token of appreciation.

"Come on. There is no need for us to keep scores. We are friends, remember. You would have done the same for me." I said politely and meant every word of it.

"Ok, then. I will not t~thank you then." Elliott choked as he said those words. Spending his youth in a wheelchair with delicate care, Elliott always thought he missed out on making friends for life. But hearing his friend's words, he realized he was wrong. It wasn't too late. He could make friends now and already had one. Therefore he couldn't help but get teary and choke while masking his emotions.

"Did you just choke? Don't tell me you are crying. This is getting too cringy for me. I am hanging up." Hearing Elliott cry over the call, I had a smile on my face because right then, I knew that Elliott appreciated my friendship as much as I did his.

"I love you, buddy!!!" In the final second of our call, before I hung up, Elliott yelled out these words. Audible enough to be heard by Susan, who was passing by.

"It is not like what it sounds, I can explain…. I focking hate you, Elliott."
