    "Joey, our drones are pretty cool, huh?" Mike said, munching on an apple, with a proud look on his


    face.


    Joey nced at his smug face and suddenly didn''t find him so annoying. In fact, he even thought Mike


    looked kinda handsome.


    "Not bad! But don''t get too cocky, your drones still have a lot of room for improvement," Joey said with


    a touch of arrogance.


    "Even your Bourne Group can''t guarantee the best, right?" Mike retorted. "We''re just getting started,

    and we''ll definitely get better over time."


    "Keep it up!"


    "The moon is so round tonight!" Mike eximed, looking at the sky.


    Joey tilted his head and agreed.


    "How about we stop fighting?" Mike suddenly turned to him and said seriously, "What if we have to


    work together in the future?"


    Joey pushed his sses up on his nose, "You just think my boss is an easy target, and you want even


    more of his money."


    Mike, "It''s not bad! We''ve met dumber buyers abroad."


    Joey, "My boss buying your drones has brought you a lot more than 100 million in revenue. Tomorrow,

    Joey found it both outrageous and funny, "You guys can''t just take it for granted!"


    Mike, "It''s his choice."


    Joey, "Why didn''t your bosse?"


    Mike, "Your boss didn''te either, did he?"

    Elijah dropped off Maka at school.

    The teacher saw himing and immediately left the room.


    Ian nced at Elijah and immediately buried his head on the desk, ignoring him.


    "Ian Dennis, let''s make a deal!" Elijah walked up to his desk and began, "Today''s Maka''s birthday


    and her wish is to spend it with you. If you can celebrate with her today, I''ll grant you one wish."


    Ian''s eyes widened, bright with excitement.


    Though he was reluctant to spend time with Maka, the idea of getting a wish from Elijah was pretty


    tempting.


    What if he needed it to protect his momter?

    Violette came to pick up Ian.


    She was shocked when she saw Ian in Maka''s ssroom.

    Violette took out her phone and checked the date.


    She gasped!


    If she wasn''t mistaken, today was also Elijah''s birthday!
