Hearing Auguste's words, He-Gu shot him a wary glance. "What exactly are you verifying?"

Auguste glanced down at his watch, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "You'll know soon enough. Relax, sir."

As he spoke, Auguste reached into his pocket and pulled out a scapegoat doll, offering it to He-Gu. "To show my sincerity, I'll give you a small gift first. I hope you like it."

He-Gu stared at the doll being handed to him, momentarily stunned. He shot Auguste another cautious look but made no move to accept it.
