Otherwise, a counterfeit is utterly useless.
Thinking this, Arthur pulled Marinda slightly back a step.
Though it was just a simple action, Marinda opened her mouth and blew out a smoke ring.
"Cautious Arthur.
Impressive secret technique... Hmm, is it a secret technique combined with your talent?
Very powerful.
Marinda, you're outstanding too."
The 'Old Lion' across from them spoke.
That tone was entirely like that of a senior.
This made both Arthur and Marinda frown.
Their relationship with the other party clearly hadn't reached this level.
Almost instinctively, Marinda began checking her surroundings again.
She believed there might be traps she had overlooked around them, otherwise, the other party wouldn't need to stall for time.
Arthur, on the other hand, spoke with a look of helplessness—
"Sir, could you please explain your purpose?"
His words were polite, yet shadows were secretly twisting and spreading.
