Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

The tallest and most robust serving team of the High Hoof Clan from the Eternal Blaze Nest took charge of the mountains of possessions of the Yutari Family. They worked in pairs, packing all the items into large boxes, then carrying them onto the elevator.


This made Higgins' father extremely satisfied, and he once again praised the services of the Eternal Blaze Nest, "I have never seen such a professional service team outside of a hotel before," as he followed his wife into the lobby.


When Higgins was helping his wife Karina walk in, he found that there were quite a few Changtangian-looking guests. Several orc girls with scaled tails were kneeling before Madame Lin performing a respectful gesture, while Madame Lin smiled and helped them up, even handing out a red pouch to each of them.


"It must be the younger generation paying respects to an elder," Karina, who had studied Chang Tang culture, said. "That red pouch must be a gift in return from the elder."
