Han seemed to catch that thought and gave a small shrug.
"We can't do anything," Han said in a low voice that only Ethan could hear. "He is the son of the Western Duke, and his participation here is just to gain some reputation."
Ethan exhaled slowly and did not say anything further.
After a brief exchange, before the situation could stretch any longer, a soldier entered and spoke.
"The Lieutenant General has summoned all commanders."
Han nodded.
"Let's go."
They moved together and soon reached another chamber, larger and more imposing.
Inside a man stood at the center.
He had grey hair and a solid build, and his arms were folded across his chest. His face carried multiple scars, each one telling a story of battle.
The moment Ethan saw him.
He froze for a second.
'Garp… is that you?' he blurted out unconsciously.
The resemblance was too strong.
The build, the posture, even the aura reminded him of someone from his past memories.
