"So, how do you like the idea of working for the Emperor, Hugo?" the overweight man with a light stubble on his chin asked as soon as Hugo sat down in front of him.
"Oh, it- it sounds wonderful, to be honest," Taken aback by the sudden question, Hugo replied with a flustered expression, desperately trying to find the right words. "For me, it would be a dream come true. To support the Emperor on his quest to fulfill the wishes of God is everything that I've ever wanted in life."
"Well then, it appears that you're right where you want to be," The man replied with a laugh.
"Oh?" Hugo looked at the overweight man with a confused expression on his face, waiting for him to explain his words.
"Ha ha ha… It appears that you're still skeptical about our group. You are, aren't you?" The overweight man let out a short chuckle as he noticed the hint of cautiousness in Hugo's eyes and rubbed his stubble as he leaned back.
