The fat merchant didn't seem any different from before.
Matt instantly revealed a warm smile as he entered the living room and saw Rhode standing there. He approached Rhode and grabbed his hand enthusiastically.
"Aiya, it's been awhile, Mr Rhode. Although I've heard you went to the Land of Atonement, I didn't think you would be there for so long. I've waited for you so miserably."
"Long time no see, Mr Matt."
Shaking the fat merchant's hand, Rhode retained his expression. However, his eyes revealed a somewhat depressed look.
"I thought you didn't intend to work with me already."
"Hahaha, Mr Rhode sure knows how to crack jokes."
