Otherwise, they wouldn't be willing to confront so many influential figures from the Demon Path. Just be extra careful. You don't want to capsize in the gutter..."

Watching the figure fade into the darkness, Luo Zun's weathered face trembled fiercely. A flash of malice appeared, but he ultimately shook his head, and the emotion dissipated. He then picked up a phone in the secret room.
