Theo hurried over with a cup of tea and showed a goofy grin. “Heh, Boss, you always see through me. Yeah, I came for something.”
“Spare me the nonsense. Just talk.” I drummed my fingers on the table, totally done with his little games.
“It’s not a big deal. Remember that matter from before? The other side has already offered 50 million crystal stones. And honestly, it might go even higher.”
My hand stopped midair, the teacup still halfway up. My eyebrows shot up. “Do you know who it is?”
Theo nodded. “Samson.”
“Why him?”
He said it like it was nothing, but my gut twisted. Why Samson?
“He’s still trying to race you!” Alice gasped. “Do you think he’s figured something out?”
“Boss, Samson seems really into you. Maybe you should just meet him? I mean, turning down that kind of money would be crazy, right?”
I didn’t respond. My mind was already spinning. The orphanage up north needed a full rebuild. That alone would eat up a ton of money. With 50 million crystal stones, I could fix the whole place and even get new wolf spirit starter kits for the kids.
After a long breath, I looked straight at Theo. “I’ll go. But on one condition.”
His eyes lit up. “Name it, Boss.”
“I’ll race him, but it has to be one-on-one. No audience, no outsiders.” My tone was firm. Fewer people meant less chance of exposure.
Theo understood right away. “Got it, Boss. I’ll make that clear. If they’re cool with it, great. If not, then forget it.”
I nodded, meaning go ahead.
During lunch, Theo kept loading food on my plate like he was scared I’d change my mind halfway through.
Once we were done and stepped out of the private room, I froze. Samson was there, talking to someone
down the hall.
I shot Theo a hint. We instantly drifted apart, pretending we didn’t know each other.
As Samson started walking over, I forced myself to smile. “What a coincidence! You’re dining here too?”

He turned, his expression unreadable. “Are you here alone?”

“Yeah, I just finished eating. I’m heading out.” I gripped my bag tightly, hoping he wouldn’t notice anything
weird.
He didn’t ask more, so I slipped away quickly. Still, as I walked out, I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was watching me. My shoulders tensed up. I just hoped he hadn’t seen the two sets of utensils inside that
room.
