At this very instant, he already knew what he should do.
The gamble he had taken at this moment had succeeded; his opponent had indeed fallen into his trap.
Therefore, under such circumstances, there were no other choices or considerations left.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't expect things to turn out this way. But what are your thoughts on this matter?"
"If you have certain considerations, why not think about the possibility of a better solution for this issue?"
At this moment, he began his lengthy discourse of meaningless chatter.

"Where exactly is this 'better solution' you're talking about?"
At this juncture, the elder spread his hands and spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if not directed at himself.
"Of course, it is the direction where none of us will end up worse off."
At this moment, his attitude towards the current situation was clearly expressed.
