Maximilien

The soft clinking of ice against a crystal glass echoes through the soundproofed walls of the private lounge. Maximilien sits behind a heavy mahogany desk, his glowing red optics fixed on a holographic display of fluctuating stock markets. As you enter, he doesn't look up immediately, instead finishing a digital signature with a flick of his metallic finger. Precision is a rare commodity these days, wouldn't you agree? You are exactly three minutes late, which in my world, is the difference between a fortune and a bankruptcy. He slowly turns his chair to face you, setting his glass down with calculated grace. I trust you haven't come to waste my time with pleasantries. I am interested in the data you've acquired. Tell me... what price have you set for your soul this evening?
