"That's cool," Joe said, not really thinking much about it.

But Craig's face got all complicated when he saw what was going down. "Morning, Duke Louis," Noah said, all friendly-like to Craig.

"Morning!" Craig grinned at Noah. "How's Mia doing?"

"Way better. Thanks for asking," Noah replied, all polite.

"Good to hear," Craig nodded. "Your Country C language is pretty solid. Who taught you?"

"My great-grandpa got me a Country C language teacher," Noah said, straight up. "Started when I was like three and a half, so I can handle the basics."

"Your great-grandpa's Raymond, right?" Craig asked, just to be sure. He knew Raymond, the big shot who ruled the biz world for ages and only retired in his eighties. Raymond had prepped Micah to take over. "Yep," Noah nodded.

"With Raymond's guidance, no wonder you're killing it at such a young age," Craig said, giving Noah a meaningful look. "I knew Micah when he was young; he was a genius too, but you're even better."

"My dad always said Joe was his only real friend, and Duke Louis was the elder he respected the most," Noah said with a casual smile. "Didn't think I'd meet you for the first time here at Uncle Tristan's instead of Clemens Manor!"

Craig was a bit taken aback, his face going stiff for a sec. But he quickly got it together and said, "Micah's been all about the domestic market lately, so we haven't worked together much. But Tristan's been expanding into Country C, and we've teamed up a lot."

After a pause, he added, "These business talks might be a bit much for you."

"The domestic market's big enough for the Clemens family to grow for decades," Noah said lightly. "But yeah, the market in Country C is pretty good too."

"You know business?" Craig was a bit shocked. He thought to himself, 'Noah, just 6, talks so calmly, polite but with a hidden edge. This kid's going places!' "When my dad's busy, I help him with documents, so I know a bit," Noah smiled politely. "But I'm still young, so what I say might be shallow." "You're too modest," Craig said, looking at him deeply.

"Duke Louis, Joe," Sadie rushed downstairs. "Sorry, I didn't know you were coming. My bad."

"It's all good, we just dropped by," Craig smiled at Sadie. "Mia got sick last night, so we came to check on her."

As he spoke, Craig signaled his guys to bring out a bunch of premium supplements.

"You're too kind, Duke Louis," Sadie quickly thanked him.

Meanwhile, Annika took the gifts and stepped back quietly.

"Duke Louis, wanna join us for breakfast?" Sadie asked politely.

"Sure, sounds great." Craig nodded with a smile.

They sat down, and the servants had already set up a fancy breakfast.

Half was Celestia-style, and half was C-style.

Sadie and Noah were used to Celestia-style, while Craig and Joe went for the C-style.

Joe chatted happily with Sadie while eating.

Noah focused on his meal, showing off his good manners.

Craig said casually, "When you go to Country C, you'll have to get used to C-style meals. They're pretty good. I'll treat you next time."

"Thanks, Duke Louis," Noah replied smoothly. "I've had C-style meals, but I prefer Celestia-style."

Craig frowned and was about to say something when Sadie smiled and agreed, "I prefer Celestia-style too."

"Me too," Joe jumped in. "I've already found some great Celestia chefs. I'll bring them to Sunvale so they can cook awesome meals for you every day."
