Back at Roy's territory…
Richard and the others were being attended to by the legendary healer hero Trion, and were still in fast recovery.
As for the damage made outside the Aegis, it was being fixed.
Meanwhile, the Lords, the lord of the territory himself, and the rest of the inner circle members unharmed were all at the very top floor of the Cosmic Police Station.
Within the conference room…
"I see you don't cease to surprise… Reminds me of the time we ventured the dungeon." Vera smoothed out the atmosphere with reminiscence.
Roy, now fully healed, smiled helplessly.
"And I see you still have that cunning merchant glint in your eyes."
Vera's smile widened.
"Good, then you know why we are here, and why I brought my companions."
Roy nodded.
"Seeing as they are all Lords, they should be your allies… But honestly, I'm flattered as well as ashamed. Having such esteemed guests, I should have prepared a banquet of sorts."
Vera snorted smugly.
