Chapter 193: Much More Stubborn

My actions right now amount to an answer to all his questions. I'm betting that Master Zhao doesn't like making a losing deal.

At times like these, it all comes down to who's willing to throw caution to the wind. If he still sees even a sliver of utility in me, he wouldn't let me die here.

Furthermore, if I were to actually die here, the aftermath would be a pain for Master Zhao too. Even just to save face, Cheng Yu wouldn't let it go either.

Master Zhao's eyes narrowed ever so slightly, a sharp glint passing through them. The only sound in the room was the drip-drop of my blood hitting the floor.

It felt like an eternity before the numbness took over my body, and then suddenly, Master Zhao chuckled, "After you left, you've become quite stubborn, haven't you? Since you're unwilling, I won't force you."

He waved his hand, and the thugs wearing looks of pity left the room.
