章 580: Mana recovery [3]

"Congratulations Brian."

There was a festive mood enveloping a small bar as two figures sat on stools and enjoyed their beers. There was an obvious contrast between the two figures: one was lanky and youthful, while the other was extremely handsome and more mature looking. 

Nevertheless, the two seemed to be on good terms with each other. 

The figures were Brian and Hemlock, his superior.

"You handled the situation skillfully and obtained connections despite not having any special powers. I can tell that you put a lot of effort into the negotiations."

"Thanks…Hicc…"

Brian thanked Hemlock as his face flushed. He was clearly drunk at the moment.

"Not a heavy drinker, eh?"

Taking a sip of the beer, Hemlock wiped the foam that had accumulated on the top of his lips. His actions instantly attracted the gaze of all the people around them.

Not minding the attention one bit, Hemlock put the beer down.
