Tiger sat with a smile, ordered high-end cigars to be brought over, and handed one each to Ye Fan and Zhou Kun before saying with a laugh, "We don't have much to offer in this remote place, so I hope you'll forgive the lack of hospitality." While he spoke, Tiger was trying to figure out why Zhou Kun had come here, especially with Ye Fan, given that earlier in the Chess Room, Tiger had already had a disagreement with Ye Fan.
Tiger found it odd, wondering why Ye Fan had not mentioned Zhou Kun's name at the time. Could it be that Ye Fan hadn't known that Zhou Kun and Tiger were acquainted? Now that they had arrived together, were they here to settle scores or for some other matter?
As old and cunning as he was, Tiger smiled while pondering the purpose of Ye Fan's and Zhou Kun's visit, and after much thought, he figured they must be here to clear up a misunderstanding.
After all, there had been some unpleasantness between Ye Fan and him at the Chess Room earlier that day.
