"Speaking like that, do you think I won't lay a hand on you?"
Seeing Anthony's movements, Ronald frowned and issued a warning:
"We're outside the city now, so if I wanted to— even if I killed you right now, no one would..."
Ronald was about to continue his admonition, but was interrupted by Anthony.
This elderly caster showed not a trace of fear, walked up to Ronald, and said assertively:
"Someone willing to risk exposing secrets to save an innocent life would never do such a thing!"
Ronald was speechless for a moment; indeed, he had no intention of harming the old man.
But being so easily seen through left a strange feeling in his heart.
On the other side, seeing Ronald's acquiescent attitude, Anthony continued:
"Your thoughts and plans probably won't harm humanity."
"Although I'm not a caster of the [Nine Commandments Conclave], I've lived here for quite some time. So in many important matters, perhaps I can offer some help."
Ronald remained silent, starting to ponder.
