The elders of the Lin family began to whisper among themselves. Some thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while others worried that if they were not careful, the Lin family would decline from then on.
But soon, Lin Zhen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
With each breath, his entire aura seemed to undergo a subtle change; his previous hesitant expression was replaced by a resolute one, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
