The tension in the room had reached its peak. It seemed even the air had grown still!
The two men stared each other down across the desk, neither willing to back down!
Jiang Nan was betting that Youming wouldn't kill him!
To be honest, at this distance, facing a Star-Devouring Class powerhouse who specialized in close-quarters combat, Jiang Nan wouldn't even have a chance to pull out the Stall Cloth!
Youming was right. Jiang Nan's life was indeed in his hands, and he could take it whenever he pleased!
But Jiang Nan had already anticipated this situation when he chose to throw Dali out there!
Human nature was greedy. If Youming killed him, he wouldn't get anything!
Bang!
The office door suddenly burst open. Jiu Lan, who had been eavesdropping outside, stumbled straight into the room!
She looked mortified, not knowing what to do with her hands or feet!
"This... This door just sud... suddenly opened on its own. Haha~ Ahahaha~"
Youming gave her a cold look. "Close the door!"
Jiu Lan jolted.
"Yes!"
She instinctively closed the door, but ended up trapping herself in the room. Now she didn't know whether to stay or leave!
Her heart was practically pounding out of her chest. She was so flustered she couldn't sit still!
In the end, she awkwardly stood at attention against the wall. She was so nervous that her face had turned red!
Youming looked utterly helpless, but he didn't tell Jiu Lan to leave.
Her intrusion had disrupted the tense standoff, giving Youming a way to back down!
Otherwise, there would have been no easy way to end this. If things continued, the negotiations would fall apart!
Youming sat back down and said coldly, "You're really stubborn. You're so sure I can't bring myself to kill you, huh?"
