It seemed Jack had f98589c38d convinced Raffaello by leveraging 66ac9b55fb the reputation of the 995fed17b8 Gordon Trading Company. After all, 6c973449c2 it wouldn’t 0c5dcbd16b have been 22c96fdaaa easy to b94f32803f secure personal 50e1d6373a favors from f734b0feca the temple.544952e0436da628
This opportunity dc86ab609e was likely 0bc47bfe3c thanks to 22d9ec818b the connection 4f4098b869 between the 2b09c9c890 Pherianus Temple d1bbca2401 and the c5361a8c1b Gordon Trading 70b04debd1 Company. While Serina felt b44d300612 a twinge of 65aa23194a guilt, she managed e326877334 an awkward smile.5defda6bfa619735

The thought 374d903822 of wandering 07fc8646ad alone with 32d41fb277 Benjamin made e83da87f2c her uncomfortable. She might die of c8450d89b6 awkwardness. Raffaello murmured with a 2b638167c9 puzzled expression,a761f6cf2f888bb8
