272 - From the ashes: Encounter

Daemon pulled over, and stepped out of his SUV. He walked to the entrance of the private club where he met up with Ryan who was waiting for him.

He stopped in front his friend who had his light-hearted smile unchanged, and gave him an impassive look:

"What am I doing here?"

Ryan didn't reply. He smiled instead:

"I am happy that you came just because I asked."

Daemon would have rolled his eyes, had he been more prone to expressing himself. He passed by Ryan's side and walked inside. The latter smiled, and turned around to follow. They walked into the illuminated corridors, paying little attention to the lavish corridor with polished wooden floor reflecting all the wealth that had gone into its creation.

"How is Green Industries going about your partnership?"

Unlike Ryan, Daemon didn't smile when he opened his mouth to reply:

"They are getting ready to give us a low blow."
