The masked man did not easily believe the man’s claim of "calculating it."
He had already seen many of the tricks played by charlatans in the martial world.
However, the fact that this person had come alone to meet him was commendable for its courage and deserved to be rewarded with this conversation.
The lean man shook his head, "I can’t calculate the whereabouts of the person you’re looking for."
"Is it really that you can’t calculate it, or is it that you don’t have the ability to?"
"Whether it’s due to my lack of ability, sir should be clearer on that than I am," the man replied, his face bearing a faint, inscrutable smile.
This ambiguous way of speaking was quite confusing.
To the masked man, it seemed more pretentious.
The masked man sneered contemptuously, "Then you have no bargaining chip to negotiate with me."
"I do, although I don’t know the whereabouts of the person you’re looking for, I’m aware that kidnapping Susu won’t be any help to your plans, and might even get you into bigger trouble," he said.
"Your words won’t fool me."
The lean man continued, "No matter what kind of grudge you hold with that person, it shouldn’t involve Susu, she has nothing to do with these matters. Forcibly keeping her by your side won’t solve anything; it’s a foolish decision."
He seemed frail and vulnerable, yet he exuded confidence and authority, as if he had everything under control.
The words of the lean man caused the expressions of the subordinates in the room to turn fierce.
He dared to call their boss foolish?!
The masked man looked coldly at the lean man, "You know, killing you would be as simple for me as crushing an ant."
"Killing me is easy, but you can’t do it, as the Rules of the Three Realms limit your interference in the Mortal Realm. If you defy these rules, you will surely be punished and judged," he said with unwavering certainty, as if he saw right through the masked man.
At these words, the masked man’s expression flickered.
The man was right, he indeed could not do that!
He couldn’t casually use his powers and violate the rules, or he would be met with the punishment of Heavenly Thunder and the fires of the earth.
This was an iron law of the Three Realms that no one could escape. fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com
Even he and that other person could not overstep too far.
That’s why he needed these human subordinates to do his bidding, and needed a person with wolfish ambitions like Chu Heng to be his pawn.
But such things should be impossible for mortals to know!
"This isn’t something you should know. Who exactly are you?" the masked man asked.
"I have answered this question already. I’m just an ordinary person who knows a bit about fortune-telling," the man explained.
"An ordinary person? Are these things that ’people’ can know?"
"I am indeed just a person, otherwise you would have realized it earlier."
Indeed, as he had said, when separated by the door, the masked man sensed a different aura and thought for a moment that the person he was looking for had finally appeared.
However, when he came before him, he found that was not the case.
It wasn’t the one he was waiting for, it was just a person.
The masked man looked at the frail-looking man before him; he was unfathomable to him.
This was the first time he couldn’t see through a human.
"It seems I need to reassess you. I can’t simply treat you as a mere charlatan," the masked man said.
The lean man smiled faintly, "Thank you, Mr. Ming, for being willing to take me seriously now."
"Tell me, what else do you know about you and me?"
