Director Silas Kaelen stood at the door, his tone polite. "Your Excellency, The Panacea. This is the private suite prepared for you."
He paused, adding a reminder. "However, I must clarify something first. On this voyage, the Med-Tech Quarantine is not only for trading pharmaceuticals, but also to assist in processing a portion of the Living Assets."
Serena's hand paused as she was about to set down the Quicksilver Med-Vault.
Living Assets.
She seized upon those words.
Dr. Geoffrey Grant had mentioned previously that Project Zero-Transit would be moving a batch of Semi-Finished Assets.
As long as this batch was successfully delivered, the Obsidian Sun's Obsidian Augment experiments could continue to advance.
Now, the director of the Med-Tech Quarantine had explicitly mentioned Living Assets.
The contents of the Sanctum Vault were likely related to the Med-Tech Quarantine.
But Serena wasn't in a hurry to ask.
After all, she was currently operating under the guise of The Panacea.
She knew exactly what The Panacea should care about.
Serena lifted her gaze lazily, a trace of greed flickering in the depths of her eyes. "Is the price high enough?"
Director Silas Kaelen smiled, as if he had anticipated her question. "I guarantee it will meet your satisfaction, Your Excellency."
Serena's lips curved in a satisfied smile. "That works for me."
...
Meanwhile.
At the boarding gate for The Buyers on Project Zero-Transit.
Compared to the Med-Tech Quarantine, which reeked of disinfectant and chemicals, this area was distinctly more luxurious.
Dark red carpets lined the corridor, muffling any footsteps.
The lighting was dim, yet perfectly illuminated each trading booth.
The air was thick with the scent of fine liquor and cigars, radiating the decadent stench of accumulated wealth.
There was none of the blatant murderous intent found in the Predator's Den.
Nor was there the tense atmosphere of the security zones.
Yet the danger here was no less than anywhere else.
Those who boarded from the Merchant's Quarter were rarely ordinary figures.
