"That still won't do..." Yuan Shang continued to insist, determined to make Xu Ke withdraw from the competition.
Just then, Jin Hankang approached from a distance, his voice cold as he demanded, "What are you doing? Why haven't you come for the opening ceremony?"
Yuan Shang's face immediately darkened. "What does the opening ceremony have to do with me?"
"You're the Vice Leader of the Tianhai Martial Alliance. You have to be on the stage," Jin Hankang sneered, intending to pull Yuan Shang away.
