?<strong>Chapter 1295:</strong>


    “Please, just tell me.”


    Denby gestured toward a section of the bookshelf.


    “Would you help me remove this rack?”


    “Okay.”


    Madisyn followed Denby’s indication, studying the specified area with careful attention. The rectangr rack was a masterpiece of subtlety, beautifully crafted yet understated. Had Denby not revealed it was a movable rack, Madisyn would have never guessed it was a detachableponent of therger bookshelf.


    Without pressing for exnations, Madisyn set about the task at hand. As she studied the wooden rack, she discovered an intricate system of joinery—a puzzle of sorts that would require both mental acuity and physical dexterity to disassemble.


    Madisyn dove into the challenge with focused determination.


    Throughout her examination, Denby observed her with measured patience, his hands sped behind his back. He neither rushed nor interrupted her process.


    The study fell into a contemtive silence, broken only by the asional soft click and scrape of wood against wood as Madisyn worked.


    After ten minutes of careful maniption, she finally unraveled thest of the rack’s clever mechanisms.


    Setting the mechanism down, Madisyn was just about to lift both hands to take down the rack. But the moment she applied force, the rack didn’t budge. Instead, something seemed to trigger, and with a series of mechanical sounds, the entire structure began retracting to both sides.


    As the wooden shelf slid apart, a sleek disy panel emerged, lined with an impressive collection of des and honors.


    Madisyn’s eyes widened at the sight of the awards hanging before her. Only then did she fully grasp the weight of Denby’s contributions to both the country and society—how much he had done, how deeply he deserved her respect.


    “Denby, these are all yours? You are incredible!” Madisyn couldn’t stop herself from eximing. She wasn’t slow on the uptake. Since Denby had allowed her to dismantle the wooden rack, he clearly had no qualms about her taking a closer look at whaty behind it.


    As she studied the disy, Denby remained silent, simply waiting. It wasn’t until her gazended on a small badge tucked away in the corner—one that bore a distinct symbol of rank—that she froze. Her breath caught as she rubbed her eyes and leaned in for a better look.


    The letters embossed on the badge’s edges were “Qiviut Organization.” This was…


    A shocking realization struck Madisyn like a bolt of lightning. She turned swiftly, needing to confirm what was now dawning on her. As soon as she lifted her head, she met Denby’s calm, unwavering gaze.


    “Denby?” Her voice was hesitant,ced with uncertainty.


    Denby gave a small nod—a silent confirmation.


    Madisyn’s eyes widened slightly, her mind racing with astonishment. She had been part of the Qiviut Organization long enough to understand its rigid hierarchy, its strict discipline.


    Her world within it was small. She only knew those she trained andpleted missions with, along with the superiors who assigned them tasks. Directmunication beyond that was unheard of.


    Never—not in her wildest imagination—did she think she would one day stand face-to-face with the leader of the organization. And yet, here he was, recognizing her first.
