The voice carried an impatient tone, as if Basil Jaak had wronged him deeply.

"Hurry up and open the door, there's an announcement! Don't stay silent, I can sense you're in there, open the door!"
The person outside continued to speak in a rushed manner, knocking while talking.
Basil Jaak opened the door and saw a young man in his twenties. He asked, "What is it?"
