Conrad had been standing at the side and keeping quiet since his son Derek arrived. He left it to his son to do the negotiations.
Now, seeing that Derek was struggling to make a decision and looking at him for help, Conrad naturally stepped forward without hesitation.
"Michael Hutton, right? Back then, even your father wouldn't speak so outrageously in front of me. Yet you, a junior, actually dared to say in front of me that you want to annihilate the Piers. You really don't have any respect for me, do you?" Conrad said accusingly as he took a few steps forward with the help of his cane.
Only then did Michael act as though he had finally noticed Conrad. "Oh, it turns out you're here too, Uncle Conrad. I'm really sorry for not noticing you just now."
