Raymond coughed in vain. He couldn't tell if it was genuine.

'Hmm. Is this why she's been so generous with loans so far?'

But Raymond shook his head.

He didn't think so.

It was a hunch.

After twenty-three years of living under duress, his instincts were very sharp.

"Anyway, your dream. I'll be rooting for you, and if you ever need money again, I'll lend it to you at a special rate."

Rose glanced at the healer one last time, her gaze saying, "Do well. I'll be watching to see how you do."

He felt a chill run down his spine.

"I'll see you then, VIP."

Once outside, the butler who had been accompanying her wordlessly opened his mouth.

"What do you think?"

"What about you?"

"If you ask my opinion, he's less feasible."

The butler narrowed his gray eyes sharply.

"I admire his concern for your patients, but he's a dreamer, and it's not likely to happen."

"You think so?"

"A dreamer with only good intentions is doomed."

A foolishly good dreamer.

This was Raymond, the butler judged.

He was nice and respectable.

One wondered if there was such a man in the world these days.

But that was it.

The butler, Karls, spoke coldly.

"Not the man we're looking for. He's sure to fall at some point. We'd better get our money back."

"You really think so?"

"Miss?"

Rose took out a lollipop and nibbled on it.

"Increase Mr. Raymond's VIP status to Red."

"...!"

The butler, Karl, was stunned.

Red!

This was the highest level of VIP they gave out, even for a VIP client.

"If he asks for an additional loan, I'll give him a special rate."

"Why?"

"He's not just a dreamer."

"Did you see it with your mind's eye?"

Mind's eye!

Her hidden ability to see through her opponent's essence.

Rose's eidetic eye shone.

"Yes, according to my mind's eye, he is not a foolish dreamer, but rather a man of great ambition."

Rose used her mind's eye to see right through Raymond.

There was a surprising amount of ambition in this man, despite his reputation as an angel from heaven!

"...What kind of ambition?"

"I don't know. I can only vaguely read the mind's eye, and it's not a perfect mind reader, but judging by the way he looked."

Rose paused for a moment.
