He panted, saying:
"Stay by my side. If you agree to this condition, I will return your things."
Tieu Tu Thu couldn't withstand the pressure and half-knelt on the water's surface.
He looked up at Lac Than's eyes, the desperation in his own eyes seemingly about to overflow.
"Do you know what you are saying?"
Lac Than opened his mouth, his voice faint, his expression unchanged.
"I… *cough cough*… I of course know what I'm saying. I said, stay by my side, just like before."
"Ignorant."
An invisible pressure tightened around his neck.
His entire body was lifted up by that force, strangling him.
His face flushed pink from lack of oxygen, and blue veins bulged on Tieu Tu Thu's forehead.
He was still smiling:
"I know you are not human, but I came here prepared. You… you… can't kill me…"
Lac Than sensed something inside his body; it was the spiritual pulse of an Ancient God.
This person was indeed different from what he had thought.
But he didn't intend to kill either.
