A lot of what Jakari said didn't quite align with what Varg had told me back in the day. Coupled with his persuasive rhetoric, I couldn't help but become suspicious of him. When I got back to my room that night, I sent a message to Ophelia: "Ophelia, how well do you know this classmate of yours?"
She replied quickly: "We're on good terms, but we haven't been in touch for a long time. After graduating from high school, he moved to Haojiang City. I don't know who told him, but he reached out to me because he heard I liked playing Texas Hold'em. As for how he's been in recent years, I'm not sure. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just curious," I replied, not revealing my doubts to Ophelia. As for whether Jakari was trustworthy or not, I decided to observe him more closely once we entered Haojiang City the next day.
