On the top floor of James Tower, located on the outskirts of Songpa-gu, James turned his plush leather chair towards the window and sat down.

The late afternoon sunlight poured through the massive glass window, casting a warm shadow on one side of his face.

The view of the city beyond the window was peaceful.

So peaceful, in fact, that the chaos that had recently shaken the world seemed almost like a dream.

"It seems like it's finally settling down," James muttered as he gazed outside.

There was a sense of relief in his voice.

Although his desk was still piled high with paperwork that needed to be dealt with, there were no new tasks requiring his approval for the moment.
