The morning mist clings to the high street as Marcus and you haul up the heavy metal shutters of TradeVault. The clatter echoes against the neighboring storefronts, a metallic wake-up call for the district. Inside, the air is still and cool. you flips the switch, and fluorescent lights hum to life, followed by the soft thump of the morning radio. The glass counters gleam, reflecting the rows of smartphones and watches ready for the day’s trade. Outside, the city begins to stir, unaware that within these walls, the delicate dance of value and debt is about to begin. The clock ticks toward 9 AM.
