"Take a look first," Orion instructed calmly. "Let me know if that’ll be sufficient to keep Limitless Heaven running comfortably."
Magi immediately infused mana into the ring, his expression rapidly shifting from curiosity to surprise, then to outright excitement. "Boss Orion! This... this is incredible! With this much stock, we can easily run Limitless Heaven not merely for a few days, but for weeks—maybe even longer if we manage it carefully. Not only that, we can maintain a solid reputation by continuously offering high-quality goods!"
Orion nodded appreciatively, satisfied by Magi’s enthusiastic reaction. "Then I’ll leave it all to you, Magi. Continue doing what you do best, and make sure Limitless Heaven remains a premier establishment in Thunderpeak."
Magi offered an exaggerated yet sincere bow, smiling broadly. "Of course, Boss! Rest assured, your trust will be well placed."
Orion lingered briefly, exchanging a few additional details with Magi about future plans, restocking strategies, and potential new acquisitions.
The conversation was quick yet comprehensive, clearly demonstrating Magi’s competence and dedication despite his playful demeanor.
Finally, Orion turned to Edgar, signaling his readiness to depart. Edgar nodded respectfully, quietly falling into step beside Orion as they left Magi’s office.
Descending through Limitless Heaven’s lively floors once more, Edgar glanced sideways at Orion curiously and asked, "Young Master, might I ask—those treasures you handed Magi earlier... they were quite numerous. If I might inquire, where exactly did you acquire them?"
Orion smiled mysteriously, clearly not having any plans to disclose the Gacha. "I have my ways, Uncle Edgar. Let’s just say fortune favored me recently."
Edgar smiled faintly, shaking his head slowly with quiet amusement, accepting Orion’s vague explanation without further questioning.
Their relationship had always been built on trust and respect, and Edgar clearly knew when to press further and when to simply let matters lie.
Exiting the marketplace, Orion and Edgar returned swiftly to the obsidian carriage, finding Lucan now comfortably lounging against its side—miraculously recovered from his earlier "stomachache."
Orion ignored Lucan’s sheepish grin entirely, merely stepping into the carriage without comment, Edgar following suit.
The ride home was smooth and uneventful, the rhythmic clip-clop of horse hooves blending softly with the gentle evening breeze.
Twilight deepened gradually into darkness as they reached the mansion, its familiar lights glowing warmly and welcoming.
Upon reaching the mansion, Orion swiftly stepped down from the obsidian carriage, feeling the familiar, comforting atmosphere of home wash over him.
The cool evening breeze rustled softly through the nearby trees, carrying with it the fragrant scent of blooming flowers from the garden.
"Uncle Edgar, Brother Lucan, thank you both. I’ll head inside first," Orion said warmly, offering Edgar a respectful nod and Lucan a dry, pointed glance.
Lucan sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, feigning innocence as Edgar merely shook his head in quiet amusement.
Orion quickly moved indoors, making his way to the washbasin to cleanse his hands. The cool water refreshed him, washing away the day’s lingering traces before he made his way toward the dining hall.
The dining room was softly illuminated by gentle, flickering candlelight, casting inviting golden hues upon the polished wooden table laden with dishes.
Eldric and Selene were already seated, quietly chatting and awaiting Orion’s arrival. Seeing Orion enter, their faces immediately brightened with genuine warmth.
"Welcome home, dear," Selene greeted affectionately, her voice gentle and warm as always. "We were just talking about you."
