‘That woman better not say anything rash! Especially Huifen, I suppose he didn’t mention my identity to anyone and was working alone. But I can not rule out the possibility that he told her.’
Li Shen began cursing in his heart.
At that time, it was smart on his part to make negotiations with Huifen, and even had the balls to reveal his identity. That was because they were a neutral power and wouldn’t have benefited from revealing his identity as the Faceless hero. That was just creating an unnecessary enemy. Plus, he had something they wanted, knowledge about the Central Continent.
But now this came back to blow up in his face in dramatic fashion.
‘Dammit, is this my skewed luck trying to pull a practical joke on me? How can this situation line up so perfect for my identity to be revealed, and in front of people who would want me dead if told no less!!’
This was a cataclysmic disaster that completely blindside and smack him square in the face.
