Kadi hadn't expected Kuyi Tulan to behave this way. The man was in blatant denial of his mistakes, shamelessly stating that he had done nothing wrong. This man is hopeless, Kadi thought.
Just as Kadi was about to say something more, Igor, who was standing nearby, held him back. Kadi glared at Igor. What do you think you're doing, buddy? Stopping me?
Igor met Kadi's glare with a resolute gaze, his own intentions clear: Don't question me; I have my reasons.
Igor had stopped Kadi because he had perceived the intricacies of the situation. Kuyi Tulan remained the central figure; after all, he was the root of the conflict, and everything had started because of him. Now, through a peculiar sort of apology, he expressed his lack of regret, a display that only made him appear more arrogant.
