By the next morning, both the men in suits had been strippedpletely naked and dropped off on the ground in front of theb''s main entrance.


    Paul mmed a table furiously. "This guy''s far too much! I''m going to make him pay now!"


    "Don''t, Paul. They''re lucky enough to be alive, and we don''t know what the other side wants yet. We might as well hear them out."


    Ralph looked at the two men. "Tell us what happened."


    The two men knelt on the ground remorsefully, describing everything that happened. "Sir, Damon said that the two factions haven''tpletely burned bridges yet and the uing international meeting might be quite a huge blow to Cametra, so..."


    "So?" Ralph urged. "What did he say?"


    "Damon hopes that whatever happened between him and Mister Paul will just stay between the both of them and have it end like that. He said that it won''t be good for either faction topletely burn the bridge."


    Paul was furious. "The nerve of this guy! He was the one who crossed the line first! Who is he to demand a peaceful dissolution of this conflict? Does he take me for a joke?"


    "That''s enough, Paul." Ralph looked up at Paul. "Damon has Light Valley backing him up, and you know what things are like. We can''t afford such internal conflict at a time like this. However, Damon breaking the rules has reminded me of something."


    "Mister Ralph!"


    "Enough, Paul. You must know that this is all out of our hands now. Let''s just wait until the international meeting is over to decide what we''re going to do to Damon."


    Ralph was an experienced scientist with a rather high position in the Scarlet Leaf Faction, and Paul had always obeyed his orders. Before anyone from Light Valley had shown themselves, at least the two factions had listened to Paul''s orders.


    However, the appearance of the Light Valley members had caused the situation with the Aidementon factions to grow extremelyplicated. Paul hoped to himself that the meeting would end with Greensource Corp to me so that this pain in the neck could be gotten rid of early on.


    That evening, Wilbur asked Tina to meet him on the balcony. Tina''s cheeks were flushed from the rays of the evening sun as she bowed her head bashfully before Wilbur, unsure what to say.


    After around a minute of silence, Tina ended up being the first to speak. "Is there a reason you''ve asked to meet me, Wilbur?"


    "I''m sure you know about the international meetinging up, right, Tina?"


    Tina nodded, looking up into the distant sky. "I heard that the seven countries have gotten hold of proof of Greensource Corp researching and developing illegal medicine, and they might be forced into bankruptcy and shutting down after the meeting. I think that''s definitely good for the people of Cametra, seeing as Greensource has caused so much harm to us."


    Wilbur took a deep breath. "Tina, I''m sure you know that I came to Cametra just to investigate Greensource''s crimes. Now that the seven countries have proof of the crimes and tomorrow''s judgment day, I might be leaving Cametra to go back to Dasha after it''s over. Are you and your mother willing toe to Dasha to live with me?"


    Wilbur was going to have to leave Cametra eventually, and he had developed feelings for Tina in the time he had spent with her. Thus, he wanted to tell her how he felt for good.


    If Tina was willing to go back to Dasha with Wilbur, he would be able to settle them downfortably so they would have a good life.


    Tina pursed her lips, falling silent for a while. "I don''t know, actually. You know my


    father left my mother and me when I was really young, and now she''s all I have. I don''t want to leave my mother. She needs me."


    "Tina!"
