Judging by his height and shoulder width, this person was clearly a man. The darkness completely concealed his face and clothing, making it impossible to infer his identity or origins from any detail. What was more noteworthy was that he carried no weapons at all.
While Chu Han sized him up, the mysterious man also slightly raised his head and looked around. He showed no reaction when his gaze passed over Xiao Mengqi, Gao Shaohui, and the others, making it impossible to tell where he came from. Only when he saw Chu Han did his gaze visibly pause.
That pause was quite obvious. Gao Shaohui and Xiao Mengqi were both startled, exchanging a glance as doubts rose in their hearts.
"Whose person is he?" Dian Huang asked quietly.
Xiao Mengqi frowned. "I don't know."
Dian Huang froze. "You can't even be sure whether you called him here? What about Gao Shaohui's side?"
"There's no way to tell." Xiao Mengqi's expression was complicated. "Gao Shaohui probably doesn't know where he came from either. This person has concealed himself too well."
"Then why did Chu Han's group come without hiding anything at all?" Dian Huang glanced at Chu Han. The outline of that huge Black Axe was simply too conspicuous.
"Either they didn't coordinate beforehand, or Gao Shaohui is too confident." Xiao Mengqi paused suddenly before smiling. "But for him and me, there truly isn't any need to hide.

As she spoke, Xiao Mengqi turned her gaze toward the mysterious man. "Among all the participants present, he has the strongest battle power."
Dian Huang's pupils shrank. "What do you need me to do?"
"Just leave him alone.
