Veiled Provocations

Sato, with a mischievous smile adorning his face, couldn't help but praise himself, "Quite a masterful deceitful plan maker, I'd say so myself."

As they approached their danfo pods, he called out to Uzar, his voice filled with curiosity,

"Airhead, who is that bloke beside you?"

Uzar, without even turning back, curtly replied, "That's none of your business."

Sato's eyes gleamed with anticipation. Sato's suspicion was confirmed, Uzar had taken a liking to the person standing beside him.

He had always relished the opportunity to ruffle Uzar's feathers, and this new addition to their entourage seemed to provoke a reaction.

With this realization, Sato swiftly moved, almost appearing as if he teleported, to stand in front of Ebuka, closing the distance between himself and Ebuka, his steps graceful and purposeful.
