From many details, we can tell that Motan and the Leis brothers had known each other long before the game…
In fact, they didn't just know each other, they had a substantial relationship that was akin to partnership, yet fundamentally different. Another way to put it - their friendship was more than just ordinary, yet short of being sworn buddies.
They met years ago in a small commodity market in city B. The Leis brothers had a small shop there, about the same size as their current 'Odd and Eccentric' shop. They mainly sold magic tricks, while also marking a few computer parts, gaming software, snacks, and even storage devices full of adult films on the side.
