Elijah loosened his tie and flipped through the document. He then looked at Lena and smiled. "The project is almost finished."

"They possess many qualities you'll never learn." Lena's tone remained steady as she organized documents. "Their family has been nurturing talent for generations. You'd need centuries to reach their level!"
