It was reserved for when he had to meet with the scientists but had no time to drop by to actually physically meet with them. Grabbing a pair of glasses and an earpiece and putting them on, seven people appeared before him and was sitting down on some of the chairs. They were bright minds - though not as bright as the other scientists going forth with creating prosthetics and medicine, but this was another field entirely anyway. Half of them were from Korven, and one secretly from Lisden. Sometimes, the smartest people can be found in the most unexpected of places. 

[color=82ca9d][b]"Welcome sir."[/b][/color] The woman in front said as she nodded at him. Klaus waved back in response as he sat down at the end of the table before leaning forward.

He took a deep breath as he eyed the people in front of him. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Now, tell me. What kind of breakthrough have you made to warrant an emergency meeting this early in the morning?"[/color][/b] Don't mistake his wording for anger. In fact, he was quite pleased that his men were still working even though it was three o'clock in the morning. However, to call for an emergency meeting like this meant that it had to be big and important.

The first man to the right stood up - Lawrence. [b][color=00aeef]"You see sir, we have reports about the latest design for our new assault rifle..."[/color][/b]

Klaus listened intently to their reports, watching as the holographic images popped up to explain the intricate details of each malfunction. They droned on and on and Klaus replied in turn. It did cause a headache for the older man, who had just woken up minutes before the meeting started and he already had to kick open his mind to help solve the problems that had arisen due to some miscalculations in their parts. 

The meeting came to a close two hours later and Klaus was already mentally exhausted. They all bid farewell and appreciated the fact that he had helped before he took off his glasses and earpiece. He leaned back into his chair and rubbed his temples. What a bother, but such was life. He plunged into this job knowing the consequences, and he was more than happy to take it on. Yawning rather loudly, he stood up and headed down to his living room to be met by his two companions in this house that wasn't family - [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/9f/36/cb9f36a7eeaf1fac274530d858c968a0.jpg]Jared[/url] and [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3c/8c/95/3c8c952356731ac6446f12142416eae1.jpg]Leila[/url] - but both integral part of his household. He found the two a long time ago, back when Leila was just a baby and Jared was still in Korven. He took them in after a deal and they've been serving him since then.

[color=bc8dbf][b]"Good morning Sir Klaus."[/b][/color] Leila chirped happily - already energetic so early in the morning. [color=bc8dbf][b]"A cup of coffee I assume?"[/b][/color] She questioned as she already headed towards the kitchen.

Klaus nodded. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Yes, thank you Leila."[/color][/b] He replied before heading over to the dining room where Jared had already set up breakfast. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Already done with yours?"[/color][/b]

[b][color=00746b]"Yes sir."[/color][/b] Jared replied with a small smile before bowing and letting him be. 

The day went on but Klaus was working home this day. After all, he had to go visit Jacqueline's grave later and he'd rather not go to the company building first or else he knew he was going to get stuck there until well into the night. He was in his living room, typing letter after letter about deliveries and deals to be made - his phone ringing every other e-mail sent. Meanwhile, Leila and Jared were making themselves busy with rearranging the papers Klaus was messing up because of his work, and they sometimes even go ahead to take some of the work load off their master.

That was when an emergency message popped up from a holographic screen to his side - though it was more of a real time report coming from one of the journalists he was following. Curiosity getting the best of him, he looked over to read what has happened so far. In the midst of Summer, someone decided to set fire to three places. Klaus couldn't help but groan. Like it wasn't hot enough already. His house wasn't anywhere near these places, and certainly not around his other buildings, so he didn't feel [i]too[/i] worried. But certainly, everything was growing chaotic. 

[b][color=9e0b0f]"Jared."[/color][/b] The man called out without looking up from the article. As he heard the footsteps stopped, he continued. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Get a squad to help out with the fire on the entry point. We can't have that place too chaotic, or else we'll have to rely on New Osaka more than we already have."[/color][/b] 

[b][color=00746b]"Right away sir."[/color][/b]

Klaus usually had trucks transporting important metals from Lisden to Korven to Eden - and he would often use New Osaka for a safer passage. But he felt as if he was intruding too much on The Unseen territory, so he would sometimes use normal routes to get there. They weren't as safe, but it was still convenient. If that place closed down, then it would cause a headache for him more than he already has. He had a thought of sending someone to help with the apartment building fire in Korven, but that would be too much and he didn't actually have anything to gain from that.

The television's show shifted and he could hear Leila's confusion. The girl was a teenager after all, and would often stop to watch her regular TV shows. It didn't bother him very much, it wasn't like he needed them on their feet twenty-four seven... always. Klaus turned his attention to the show and saw Morvai's face there. He groaned. Klaus didn't actually like the guy, but he would never say that out loud. He would avoid any sort of personal meetings with him, and he was sure that the president reciprocated the feeling.

[b][color=bc8dbf]"Oh, it's President of MorCo."[/color][/b] Leila said and she didn't seem to notice Klaus hovering near her as they watched the speech. Joseph went on about how hot it was and then telling everyone to buy their products, followed by an advertisement, before going on to say that help was on the way. 

[b][color=9e0b0f]"Of course that man would prioritize an advertisement over helping his fellow citizens."[/color][/b] He commented with a shake of his head. While he, himself, was no better, he at least wouldn't just go around and flaunting his weapons when there's a disaster happening. Then again, he was pretty damn sure the person doesn't care about anyone else but himself and his money. Who knows. 

Leila sighed in relief though. [b][color=bc8dbf]"At least he sent help. The apartment fire in Korven might spread if it isn't stopped you know?"[/color][/b] 

Klaus looked at her for a moment. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Do you really think that he would send someone to Korven? I'm sure they can handle it themselves, because if they don't, well... There's around a point something percent in Eden's population who cares about them, no one would help."[/color][/b] Klaus knew everything about that. He was from Lisden, after all, and he knew just how the people in Eden wouldn't even come close to any of them without scrunching up their faces or having something between them. His fellow citizens of Eden didn't care. He knew that much.

Her eyes widened. [b][color=bc8dbf]"I know that but..."[/color][/b] She then slumped back onto the couch. [b][color=bc8dbf]"Can they really help themselves?"[/color][/b]

The black haired male couldn't help but smile at that. [b][color=9e0b0f]"The people of Korven are more resilient than you think. Way better than those who live here at the very least. They'll survive."[/color][/b]

Leila didn't seem too convinced, but Klaus already said his piece. He left the girl alone and then sat back down on his couch to continue his work. Work hard and get rich, he remembered Joseph saying that before, like it was the easiest thing in the world to do. Klaus had given everything he had to get here now, and that was only because he was lucky. Not everyone could do it. If it was so easy, then the entire population would have been in Eden already. 

Sighing, he took out his phone and called Jared. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Go take a look at the situation in Korven. Looks like your daughter's a little worried about it."[/color][/b]

There was a chuckle on the other side of the phone. [b][i][color=00746b]"Whatever you say sir."[/color][/i][/b]

Wonder what would happen now. After his visit to his late wife's grave, maybe he should head over to New Osaka to talk with his associate within The Unseen. Maybe that would help to give him a direction to do for this day. It would be lovely to get away from the work for a little while, as it also seemed that things have stabilized in both the company and the research department. Well, that was for now, at the very least.
