The subordinates who were accompanying the card game had long grown used to it, put away the chips on the table, thanked Lord General for his reward, and upon noticing Kudagawa's return, politely stood up and bid farewell.
The card game temporarily came to an end.
The General stood up, scratched his butt through his large shorts, finally turned around and looked at Tobio, and suddenly realized, "I remember you, you're Old Man Tobio, right! We played cards a few times before... When did you arrive? I almost forgot, why didn't you remind me?"
"Waiting a bit longer is not a concern at all; how could I dare to disrupt your enjoyment, my lord?" Tobio responded respectfully, stepping forward with a bow.
"Sit down, sit down, no need to be polite. I've heard you've been troubled and stressed lately." The General glanced at him, shook his head, and turned to Huai Shi with curiosity: "Who is this?"
