Kendrick Burke obviously didn't expect Ethan Smith to really bring the inner core back. His face showed a hint of surprise and joy, but beneath it, there was an indescribable craftiness.
Kendrick took the inner core from Ethan, scrutinized it carefully and said regretfully, "Too bad, this is not the inner core I wanted."
Ethan's brows furrowed slightly. He had guessed Kendrick would react this way, but still felt very annoyed when he actually heard it.
"Which one do you want then? I'll go back and bring it to you," Ethan asked, suppressing his anger.
Kendrick tucked the inner core away casually and said with a smile, "I can't tell you exactly which one. All I know is, it's not this one."
Ethan couldn't help but smirk at Kendrick's cunning.
"In that case, why don't you come with me to identify it," Ethan suggested.
Kendrick quickly waved his hands and said, "No way, I have my own matters to attend to. I don't have time to accompany you to the Demonic Cave."
