Since the serious discussion had been concluded and dinner wasn't ready yet, Master Ye invited Mr. Thompson to play chess. To avoid disturbing the two of them, Zachary and his two companions left the study and returned to the living room to chat.
With no elders present, the three of them casually settled onto the sofas in the living room.
"Madeline, I've been away from here for so long. Aside from the expansion, has there been anything interesting happening at the base? Also, how many of those enhancement scrolls do you have in stock? Toss a few my way, I want to see if they're really as universally effective as people outside say."
When Zachary unabashedly asked for the enhancement scrolls, Madeline didn't react much, similarly casual in his reply, "How would I still have any enhancement scrolls now? The ones I initially got my hands on were all handed over during that time. I bet there are fewer than ten people or forces within the base that still have them."
