Outside the Mine Cave.
A Space Rift burst open, and Hopkins tumbled out with Niels and the others.
"Pfft!"
Niels spat out a mouthful of Black Blood. His complexion improved slightly.
The air outside really was much cleaner than inside.
But he suddenly remembered something and struggled to grab Hopkins.
"My lord! Why... why did you set Su Ye up just now?! He came to save us!"
Hopkins shook off his hand and said coldly,
"Save us? He came to steal the credit! Couldn't you see that?"
"But..."
"No buts."
Hopkins cut him off.
"Doesn't Su Ye claim he can kill seventeen Demon Kings? He should be able to kill one Peak Demon King, shouldn't he? And if he really dies..."
He paused, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.
"Then he only has himself to blame for overestimating his abilities. What does that have to do with us? Who can prove we had anything to do with it?"
His words fell.
An eerie silence settled over the area.
Hopkins sensed something was wrong and looked up.
Then his expression froze.
Su Ye, Xiao Qiyue, Xia Zhiqiu...
The entire team stood not far away, staring at him as if he were an idiot.
Even more terrifyingly, Su Ye—who, as far as Hopkins knew, should have died in the Mine Cave—was standing perfectly fine beside Xiao Qiyue.
Su Ye raised his left hand slightly, and a video played from his smart watch.
It showed everything that had happened inside the Mine Cave!
Yes, the smart watch could not only stream live footage but play recordings too.
What it played now began with the Clone entering, continued through Hopkins throwing Su Ye to the Demon King, and ended with everything Hopkins had just said...
Ultra-HD, with 360-Degree Surround Sound!
"You... you all..."
