"Didn't you hear me?" Si Xia looked confused. "Could it be... I didn't speak clearly enough or does everyone have hearing problems? I said... I want to dominate the Independent State and all of you only have two paths to take: Submit or die. Take your pick."
Everyone broke into guffaws. Was the President of the Martial Arts Union's head crushed by a door? Wasn't he delusional for saying something idiotic like this here?!
"Who do you think you are?" The Clan Leader of the Direct Line mocked him.
Si Xia didn't respond to him and set his gaze on Yi Shuihan. "How about you come to my side and help me, Yi Shuihan? How about it?"
"What do you think?" Yi Shuihan questioned back.
"I think..." Si Xia's lips turned up. "You should be quite willing to come and help me."
Before Yi Shuihan could answer, Si Xia shook his head and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to reply... Yi Shuihan, I know your story. Yi Shuihan... I also know you don't know the truth. Do you really think that girl was sent by the Collateral Branch to assassinate you...?"
"What are you saying?" Yi Shuihan's eyes glinted coldly.
"Do you want to know the truth... How about it? Come and help me. In exchange, I'll tell you the truth of the matter," Si Xia said with a smile.
Si Xia added, "Oh right, I hope you will take my words seriously. Perhaps you think you can interrogate me under torture and force the truth out of me... I really can't defeat you, but I'm a lunatic. If you don't agree, you will never know the truth. How about it?"
Yi Shuihan fell into silence.
