Upon hearing Duanmu Huai speak, the bespectacled man immediately broke into a smile.
"This time, I'm here to stay as a representative of UAC... Uh, to be honest, I don't think I'm quite cut out for this, but we're really short on manpower right now, oh, right, our planet is recovering fairly well at the moment, all thanks to you and the Tribunal..."
"Alright, alright, I can see you're not used to these formalities; no need to memorize and recite them. Go ahead and do whatever you need to."
Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly, and the latter, as if granted amnesty, bowed quickly and then turned to leave.
Compared to that jittery intern, the next man to appear before Duanmu Huai was much more confident.
"It's been a long time, Your Honor, the Judge."
"And you are?"
"John Connor. My planet was attacked by Skynet and the robots... Do you remember?"
"Oh, of course, I remember. Have you joined as well?"
