“I don’t have to say much to you. You should work on bringing out the best in the talents within Sacredice. And

He let out a laugh and said, “If that's something you can’t achieve, maybe you don’t deserve to be a Deacon. |
might just bring Moon in to replace you.”
T stood up, all flustered, saying, “Sir, you can’t possibly mean that! I've been loyal to Sacredice. | might not have

Phillip playfully smacked T on the head and said, “Quit talking. Haven't you caught on that he’s encouraging you

lowered his head, a bit embarrassed.
After they finished discussing several important issues related to Sacredice, Sean stood from his seat. “That's it
for this meeting?”
Sean still had the task of meeting newcomers with Phillip. He was eager to wrap things up so he could see
Norah's partner.
“Hold on. I've got a question.” T stopped Sean just as Sean was heading out.
Sean faced him and said, “Yes, what's on your mind?”
“You switched your usernin the hacker forum to N. Later, Moon targeted you. Was that all about...?” The
sudden nchange and the following attack by Moon raised suspicions for T. He couldn't shake the thought

K lit up with excitement, asking, “Do you have any plans for kids yet? I'd like to volunteer to teach them martial
arts.”
T seemed thrilled at the prospect as he answered, “I could teach the kid everything about computers, even how

Phillip quickly put an end to their thoughts, saying, “After all this tworking for Sacredice, you're still
struggling to buy a wedding present? K and T, do you really think your talents outshine his?”
