Back with Wang Yue—after hearing Zhang Lingtian's explanation, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort. "You've got some nerve. You even played your own father."
"Just survival instincts, Senior," Zhang Lingtian replied with a forced, sycophantic smile.
"Oh? And if I hadn't intercepted you, and your father had checked that spatial ring later, how exactly were you planning to 'survive' then?" Wang Yue asked, his interest piqued.
He had a sneaking suspicion the kid hadn't actually hidden the resources "somewhere else" but was carrying them on him using some specialized method others couldn't detect.
"The value of those resources is astronomical. Even if my father found out, he wouldn't have dared to touch me because he'd need me alive to get his hands on them later," Lingtian explained.
Wang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. This guy was deep—calculating and composed. It was impossible to tell if he was telling the truth or spinning a web.
