The young boy across the table, surprisingly, didn't take any action just like him.
He just held the cards in his hand, as if he was in a daze!
Looking around at the audience, they all seemed to be in a daze as well, as if they were assimilated.
In fact, he misunderstood them; they didn't do it on purpose.
Because the hourglass had been running for 18 minutes, and the two people at the table had been still for 18 minutes.
Audience: If you were the audience, you would be in a daze too!
At this time, Jade Hand Master glanced at Ree Shil and then at the hourglass.
He started to worry a bit.
Time was running out. Why hasn't this guy made a move yet?
Could it be that he's just a total amateur, and doesn't know how to start?
Restrained by his masterly demeanor, he couldn't make the first move, which made things a bit awkward.
But wait.
Jade Hand Master thought about it again and started to wonder.
