Chapter 523
Thanks to Tiffanie’s educational talk, she knew Dustin was cozily in bed with royalty, so to speak. If there were any governmental moves afoot, Dustin would surely be in the know.
“Mason, wait for my word.”

Dustin was actually hard to be buttered up, considering Infinity Brilliance’s development was pretty much the heartbeat of the nation’s economy.
