While he had never seen the man in person before, Iwao recognized Hatake Shoji from pictures. For some reason Zerplus's owner removed the casing of the gems while he was surrounded bu a bunch of strangers. He surprised Iwao even more by allowing him and the others to hold the valuable stones. "Trusting guy, I hope no one takes advantage of that for his and the company's sake." Naturally Iwao didn't say that out loud.

"Thanks, Sir." While saying that he reached for the one gem that managed to hold his attention: the green one. As soon as he touched he felt a small shock, like static electricity, but he ignored it and picked the stone up. Iwao didn't know if it was just his imagination or something else, but all of a sudden he felt stronger then before.
