As soon as Michael said those words, the pudgy man's face paled as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Re… Reborn!"
Now, even with his body lying battered and bloodied, the pudgy man immediately went on his knees and pleaded for an apology from Michael.
"My apologies! We did not know that you were the Reborn company!"
His entire body was shaking. Shivering, as if he was just mere moments away from his death. It was as if he was afraid that saying the wrong thing here could spell his own doom.
Michael definitely didn't expect this kind of reaction from the pudgy man or the rest of the cultivators with him.
Once they found out who they were, they quickly changed their tune from angry to repentful.
This was weird because, technically, they were in the right. The Reborn company was poaching another territory, without even talking with another company who had a previous arrangement with the territory.
