Before long, under Velen's guidance, Corner arrived at the courtyard where Alan was staying.
At that moment, Alan was resting in his room. Seeing Velen bringing along a mysterious person he had never met before, he was slightly startled but still got up to greet them.
"Velen, is something the matter?"
He couldn't shake the feeling that the mysterious old man was looking at him strangely. The way he was being scrutinized made him inexplicably uneasy.
"Alan, you were the first person I brought into Fortress, and I care deeply about your future!"
Velen lightly patted Alan on the shoulder.
Hearing these words, Alan was instantly thrilled.
Being valued by Velen—this was something he had long dreamed of!
After all, with Velen's tycoon status, gaining his favor could mean a meteoric rise—an incredible opportunity!
"Velen, you really do treat me like a brother!"
