Just as Ethan was chatting, a knock sounded from the other side of the door, followed by Celia's voice.
"Switch the feed to her," Ethan instructed.
The screen shifted. When Celia saw Ethan on the video call, her expression visibly relaxed. It was her first time carrying such a large sum of gold for a transaction. Ethan had only given her a location, so she had been a little nervous. Now, seeing Ethan live, she immediately understood that the burly man in front of her was the contact.
Still, she hesitated. Should she hand over the gold first, or wait for the money?
Ethan noticed the hesitation on her face and laughed. "Celia, just give him the gold."
The deal was done. A moment later, a notification popped up in Ethan's vision.

[Ding… System Notification: Your real-world account has received $24,000,000. Current balance: $24,002,158.35.]

Ethan exchanged brief goodbyes with Trusty007 and ended the video call.
