John's expression remained unchanged in the face of Darklord's deliberate provocation.
He responded coolly, "Your intelligence seems as low as ever. You don't really think you can deceive me with such tactics, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Darklord's face twisted into an even more ferocious expression.
He retorted vehemently, "If that's the case, let's settle this outside the Naga Tribe, once and for all. I will not lose to you."
As he spoke of a final showdown, Darklord deliberately flaunted the Mysterious wand in his hand.
Although John was unaware of the specific attributes of the Mysterious wand, he could tell it possessed formidable power.
"No problem at all, let's leave this place right now," John said, fixing his gaze on Darklord.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Darklord had initially hoped his words would intimidate John into backing down.
