Her face, though not angry, exuded authority; when enraged, she was like a terrifying demon. "I will make you confess the truth, or your fate will be far worse than Hao Zekai's. You can try me if you don't believe me!"
The aura of those in power is not just empty talk; it is something that people like Hao Zi and his son cannot compare to.
