I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. The accelerated timeline heightened the tension surrounding the impending decision. "Do we have any updates on the meeting with the old man and the leader?" I asked, my voice betraying a hint of anxiety.
Mr Luigi sighed, his expression grave. "The old man did his best, but convincing the leader won't be easy. We have to be ready for the worst-case scenario. I've been making arrangements in case things don't go in our favor."
