"Forgive me for speaking frankly, sir, regarding this matter, in fact, I have not fully explained myself to you."
At this moment, Old Hawke candidly confessed to Violet.
He looked as if he was ready to give up and let everything crumble.
When faced with such attitude, with someone exhibiting such behavior,
Violet knew she had to mentally prepare herself, possibly for the worst-case scenario.
Violet straightened her posture at that moment, looking at Old Hawke, giving him a nod in agreement.
"I must admit, I was wrong about this."
These words were said by Old Hawke.
"But for this matter, I indeed underestimated the potential impact it could have."
This was Old Hawke's conclusion based on Violet's assessment of the situation.
In the face of this conclusion, what should one think?
Or better yet, how should one perceive this problem?
To arrive at an answer that is beneficial to oneself.
This has become a very important matter.
