The wind was calm, and the sea was still.
There were no attacks, and no unexpected events.
With Huai Shi's escort, by 7 in the morning, they had already arrived outside of the General's residence.
Their host was already waiting at the door and then led them into a lounge, offering refreshments.
"The General was overthinking things last night and only just went to sleep several hours ago. Your meeting may be slightly delayed, so please be patient, Mr. Tobio, and wait in peace."
After saying this, the host respectfully took their leave and closed the door behind them.
As time passed, hurried footsteps constantly sounded outside the door, yet no one ever entered; instead, they coldly passed by and went in another direction.
At first, Tobio would always sit up respectfully, but over time, his demeanor gradually darkened.
