The man wearing the red bracelet donned attire unique to nobles, sparkling with gold. He gave Xu Huo a glance, seemingly weighing something, before saying a moment later, "Prey is plentiful; no need to be so tense."
After speaking, he walked straight away.
Xu Huo watched him disappear around the corridor's corner before closing the door. Looking at the still petrified Palad, he smiled faintly, "You're beyond saving."
Palad was still clutching his neck, but the blood kept flowing out. The potion he had used was completely ineffective, and he couldn't utter a word, only begging Xu Huo for help with his eyes.
Xu Huo just leaned against the table beside him, lit a cigarette, and looked down at him with indifferent eyes.
Palad's pleading look gradually turned to anger. He forcefully patted the chest badge that symbolized his status and then pointed at Xu Huo, as if questioning how Xu Huo dared not save him!
