As he spoke, Sima Changming kept his eyes fixed on Wang Chen, the threat in his gaze utterly undisguised.
He was practically telling Wang Chen outright: Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
Not only that, this Steward of the Demon Cave Supervision Institute also pressed Wang Chen with the force of his aura.
