Miss Sylvia also noticed Shard's intent, and the witch flashed a slight smile. Although Miss Galina had earlier contact with Shard, clearly the witch of the Council's thirteenth seat instantly grasped Shard's thoughts:
"You can consider it first and deliver your decision before the visiting group leaves."
Although it would be possible to contact her after the visiting group departs, laying it aside for now but providing a specific deadline would ensure Shard pays closer attention.
"This..."
Shard wasn't trying to refuse but felt that if they cooperated like this, he would be taking advantage of the witch. Miss Sylvia was relatively not very wealthy, but the money she took out this time for investment, converted into Gold Pounds, was six figures. Shard's little savings were just a fraction, and as for the "valuable advice" the witch mentioned, Shard didn't find it worthy at all.
"I will think about it carefully."
