After the brief conversation between Envy and Vlad concluded, Daniel turned his attention towards Matsudaira and gestured towards Atlanteus.
"Mr. Matsudaira, allow me to introduce you. This is my teacher, Atlanteus. He's the one who taught me how to create Atlantean Artifacts. Everything you've seen since you entered this base falls within his area of expertise, and he's also a great leader himself," Daniel said, a warm smile on his face.
"You're giving me too much credit, lad," Atlanteus replied humbly.
"Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Atlanteus!" Matsudaira bowed traditionally, the Japanese gesture of respect. His experience had taught him to recognize that the elderly man before him was far from ordinary. There was an air of seasoned experience about him, as if he had been a war veteran or had personally lived through the most turbulent and bloodied periods of history during the 300-year average lifespan of a mage.
