The drunkard's eyes were filled with terror, and he hurriedly nodded.
Shadow Cheng Shi slightly relaxed his grip and released him. The drunkard hurriedly said:
"Spare me! Spare my life! I'll tell you everything. As long as you don't kill me, I'll tell you everything!

"Yes, exactly—the divine gift!"

"So he was the true culprit behind everything!"
