Aoto's brow had not relaxed since the scarred face handed over the gambling debt note.
This scarred face was eloquent, speaking in a smooth and organized manner, effortlessly using various honorifics. Coupled with the subtle scholarly aura he exuded, one might mistake him for a private school teacher were it not for the menacing tattoos visible on his collarbones and forearms beyond the coverage of his clothes.
With both hands, he returned the gambling debt note and the hundreds of taels previously paid by their Tachibana Family to Aoto. Then, using the highest form of honorifics, he praised Aoto with words like "Our leader, Shimizu Eiichi, really admires you." After that, the scarred face slightly bowed to Aoto.
"The debt note and the money, I have delivered them both."
"I apologize for the presumptuous disturbance to you and your esteemed hall. Please forgive us."
The scarred face turned his body, also bowing to Zhouzhu and others standing at the entrance of Shiwei Hall.
