It goes for nearly 4,000 per gram. Even the Foster family, the wealthiest in Betrico, would struggle to get their hands on something like this.

It wasn’t about the money; it was all about how rare it was.

With so few left in the world, collectors would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on one.

Most people who actually got their hands on this kind of coffee wouldn’t just drink it; they’d hoard it like treasure.

Judging by the way he treated the coffee, this guy probably had more than just a little tucked away.

Nina didn’t bother with formalities; she just grabbed the cup and drank.

Honestly, even with all her cash, she’d never been able to score any Panama Geisha. She’d tried every connection she had, but it was simply impossible to get.

So now that she actually got to taste it, you bet she wasn’t holding back.

Once she finished her cup, Nina nudged it toward the masked man for a refill.

The masked man chuckled and smoothly poured her another.

Only then did Nina turn to the masked man. “So, you want me to brew you an elixir?”

“That’s not all. I want your specialty too, the power to bring someone back to life,” the masked man said, his tone steady.

Nina smiled.

‘He’s bold enough to ask for that,’ Nina thought to herself.

Nina leaned back in her chair, eyeing the masked man for a moment before finally speaking. “Let’s see if you can really deliver on what I want.”

“Just tell me what you want, Ms. Swanson. If I can do it, I’ll make it happen,” the masked man replied.

Nina smirked. “Before I make any demands, I’ve got a few questions for you.”

“Go ahead,” the masked man said.

“Where’s Ruby?” Nina asked.

The masked man’s eyes, hidden behind the mask, flickered slightly. “Who’s Ruby?”

Nina paused for a moment, her voice turning cold. “Really? You took her, used her for your first batch of test serum, and now you’re telling me you don’t even know who she is?”

The masked man paused, his tone icy. “I have no idea where you got that from, but I didn’t take Ruby, and I don’t even know who you’re talking about.”

Nina’s brows furrowed. ‘So it wasn’t this guy who took Scarlet?’

‘Maybe the ones after the serum aren’t all on the same team?’ Nina wondered.

“And Ryan?” Nina fixed her gaze on the masked man. “Were you the one who seriously injured him?”

“That’s right,” the masked man said, not denying it.

Nina smiled. As long as he admits it, she thought.

“Where’d you guys take him?” Nina pressed.

The masked man frowned. “He got away. Didn’t you know?”

Nina fell silent.

“Out in Frontierland, we lost a lot of people. The Xenith Alliance swooped in, snatched Ryan, and smuggled him back home under the radar. We tried to catch him, but missed our chance, the masked man explained.

Nina stared hard at the masked man, trying to figure him out. She couldn’t see his face, so she watched his eyes for any clues.

From his eyes, she could tell he wasn’t lying.

The info Ryan got in Frontierland was about this masked man.

So, there wasn’t a second group out there hunting Ryan down.

Since the masked man didn’t catch Ryan, he probably made it back home safe.

But it’s been ages now, and Ryan still isn’t back.

Where could he be?’ Nina thought.

The masked man looked at Nina. “Done with your questions? Now, what do you want from me?”

His voice remained steady from start to finish.

Calm as a still lake, not a hint of emotion.

Nina glanced up, a sly smile curling on her lips. “Oh, I’m not asking for anything. Just go wait for it, I’ll make sure you get what you’re after.”
