章 913: Decision to Return

Isabella was arranging the papers on the table when she looked up and noticed Klaus' presence, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Klaus, anything on your mind?" she asked, her voice soft but firm.

"Actually, yes," Klaus began, hesitating for a moment as he gathered his thoughts. "I wanted to talk about the Rise Online tournament that's taking place at the end of this month. It's a partnership between Hongué Holdings and NIST, right? I'm thinking of taking part and I wanted to ask you how I can register."

Isabella's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's wonderful, Klaus! I knew you'd give in eventually. But are you sure you really want to take part?"

Klaus nodded, feeling a weight being lifted from his shoulders. "Yes, I'm sure. I've been thinking about it a lot and I think I'm ready to get back into competitive play, I think a semi-professional championship could be useful for me."
