Both Adam and Carl turned toward the voice, only to be rendered speechless. They remained frozen as the figure approached, extending a hand with a polite smile. "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Nigel."
The men were momentarily stunned but quickly regained their composure. Adam stood up, offering his hand, "I'm Ada—Shod. Shod Butlick." He couldn't help but twitch his eye at the absurdity of the alias.
Adam felt embarrassed saying the words and could not help but get angry every time he had to say the name.
He wondered whether it was done by the kid but his mind quickly drifted to that figure shrouded in mystery whose voice was the only thing he heard about that annoying person.
