Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 7416 (7416) Applying Pressure

The brown-handed man said, "Who said you've forgotten everything?"

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "It's good that you remember. Otherwise, if you don't recognize what I'm saying later, I'll have to repeat myself."

“You’re just repeating it because I don’t recognize it?” the brown-handed man asked.

"What can I do?" the gray-handed man asked.

“But is repeating this really a solution?” the Brown-Handed Man asked.

"Maybe," said the gray-handed man.

"A solution is supposed to solve the problem, right? Can your solution actually solve the problem?" the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Whether I can solve the problem or not is none of my concern."

"Who are you looking at?" the brown-handed man asked.

“Look at you,” the gray-handed man replied.

"Just repeat it once, and then you're to watch what I say next?" the brown-handed man asked.

"What else can I do?" Grayhand asked.

“You don’t have to do it this way,” the brown-handed man said.

“If I don’t do it this way, what do I do? Can you provide a method?” the gray-handed man replied.

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "You want me to provide the method?"

“Yes, after all, you said ‘you don’t have to do it this way,’ so just tell me how you can do it,” said the gray-handed man.

“I didn’t expect that,” the brown-handed man laughed.

"Didn't expect what?" Gray-Handed Man asked. "Didn't expect me to speak like that, or didn't you think of a solution?"

"I can't think of a solution," said the man with the brown hands.

"Did you expect me to say that?" Grayhand asked.

The brown-handed man replied, "I didn't expect that."

"Then why don't you say you didn't think of either of them?" Grayhand asked.

“The first one is something I never even thought of, the second one is something I thought of but didn’t expect. There’s a difference between the two,” said the Brown-Handed Man. “However, not thinking of it is still not expecting it,” said the Gray-Handed Man.

“If you insist on saying it that way, it doesn’t seem like it’s impossible,” the brown-handed man replied.

Grayhand said, "So, does that mean you're essentially answering 'I didn't think of either of them'?"

"You're making it sound like you're putting pressure on me," the brown-handed man laughed.

“There was no pressure, just a question,” the gray-handed man said.

“Since you asked, I’m going to give you an answer that may not be what you expect,” said the Brown-Handed Man.

"What's the answer?" Grayhand asked.

The brown-handed man replied, "I'll tell you 'no'."

“You’ve already told me ‘no,’ don’t you want an explanation? You haven’t clearly stated what exactly ‘no’ means,” the gray-handed man asked.

“Shall I give you a complete answer?” the brown-handed man said. “You asked me if my answer was equivalent to ‘I didn’t think of either of them.’ That’s my answer to that question. My answer is that I didn’t answer ‘I didn’t think of either of them.’ Is that complete enough?”

“Complete enough,” said the gray-handed man, “but what about the explanation?”

"Is there anything else I should say?" the brown-handed man asked.

“I just asked you if you wanted an explanation, and you haven’t said that yet,” said the gray-handed man.

“Oh, no,” said the brown-handed man. “No need for an explanation. Was my answer very straightforward this time?”

The gray-handed man replied, "That's very straightforward."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?" the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "I can't say I'm satisfied, but I can't say I'm dissatisfied either."

“You didn’t just say ‘I’m not satisfied’ directly,” the brown-handed man said.

"Does this surprise you?" the gray-handed man asked with a smile.

“No,” said the brown-handed man.

"Then why did you say 'surprisingly'?" Gray-Handed Man asked.

“I just said it casually,” the brown-handed man laughed.
