"You dare mess with me?"
Even Flint, slow on the uptake as he was, could tell that Nie Yun had no sincerity whatsoever.
Of course, he had none himself...
"I'm really not messing with you. I know you're lying, but every word I said is true. Robots don't lie," Nie Yun said earnestly.
In fact, he really had come to play peacemaker.

The Madman was about to get right up in their faces over there!
"Well?
