Caman incredulously rolled his eyes and supported Fuller as they walked towards the inner room.
After tidying up the cups and benches, and waiting for the drunken smell in the living room to dissipate, Winters closed the windows and had Koch invite the visitor inside.
Soon, Koch led a man in a black cloak and hood into the room.
Koch respectfully exited the living room. The mysterious guest removed his cloak and hood, revealing a shrewd, rugged face. He laughed and extended his hand to Winters: "My lord Baron."
Winters also smiled and grasped the rough palm known as "Iron Hand": "Mr. Gaisberg."
After shaking hands in the tradition of the Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, they took seats by the fireplace.
"Your personal visit suggests an important matter?" Winters asked.
Iron Hand Gaisberg showed a row of strong teeth: "I never feel at ease letting others speak for me. When matters are significant, it's best to discuss them face to face."
