Buying Sector Alpha City

A day later, the results of Penthesilea's interrogation reached Daniel's office. As he read the report, a peculiar expression crossed his face, not quite a smile, but something more complex. The report indicated that Frankie Santono was already aware of the existence of the Curtained World and had refrained from attacking Astral Tech HQ upon learning that it might be connected to a mage.

The reason for the attack on Astral Tech HQ stemmed from Frankie's inquiry about this building to a mage he knew, specifically Lucian. Lucian had stated that Daniel was not a mage but merely an inventor, which had led Frankie Santono to order the attack on Daniel's building.

Envy, one of the three executives of the Hightower, entered Daniel's office and noticed his enigmatic smile, tinged with a hint of malice.
