"Are you the Winged Knight?"
Mr. Ji's gaze slowly swept over Colin, seemingly able to see through the Blood Fog and discern every detail of him in his True Blood Form.
Colin only felt as if Mr. Ji's gaze was like that of a butcher ready to slaughter a pig, contemplating where to make the first cut...
"Yes. I've long heard of your reputation, Mr. Ji."
Mr. Ji scrutinized Colin thoroughly, then suddenly proposed:
"Winged Knight, if you swear fealty to me now, not only can I grant you a path to survival, but I can also help you obtain all the Druid scriptures in the Tower of Mages. Even the druidic artifact—The Heart of the Wild, can be lent to you for research."
Colin pretended to ponder for a moment, then chuckled, "What if I am not willing to pledge loyalty to you?"
Mr. Ji calmly replied, "Then I can only kill you and study your corpse."
At his words, the atmosphere turned instantly cold. It seemed as if even the air itself had become stagnant.
