"These things... drained nearly half of our funds?" a fierce-looking man asked.

Alistair was forced to explain, "Please don't be upset. The price we paid is absolutely worth it."

"Worth it? Then tell me your reasoning! Alistair, let me remind you that our commerce group isn't just your Nest Organization's alone, understand?"

"Of course, I understand." Alistair struggled to keep his composure, his face turning red as he gritted his teeth and said, "We haven't fully figured out the potential of this token yet. But if we—"

"How much longer? How much longer do we have to wait?"

"Maybe a few months or even a few years."

"And what exactly will this research bring us in the end?"

"Energy!" Alistair declared firmly.

Everyone in the room was stunned by this statement.

The chairman, sitting in the center, adjusted his rotund figure. He opened his eyes slightly and gave a faint smile as he looked at Alistair. Then, pushing up his glasses, he asked calmly, "Alistair, go on and explain your point further."

Alistair nodded and continued, "Understood, Mr. Calcraft."

Fogort drifted off to sleep without realizing it. Suddenly, the train's announcement woke him.

"Dear passengers, we have arrived at the final destination. Please gather your belongings and disembark. Welcome to the beautiful land of spring..."

Linden opened his eyes. He nudged the other three, saying, "Wake up, we've arrived."
