"Even bandits wouldn't negotiate terms the way you do."
Gu Yuena froze, then her delicate brows shot up in anger.
Lin Jin shook his head.
"You don't have a choice."
He had come today with Eternal Heaven ranked even above everything else.
Naturally, he did not want any other accidents to arise.
If Gu Yuena could not win and then pulled out Eternal Heaven halfway through, how was he supposed to keep playing?
It was true that he was not afraid, and he was confident he could escape with ease.
But where was the Black Hole Core of Nine Heavens supposed to find source particles of such yield to fill itself with?
From Gu Yuena's point of view, this demand was, of course, unreasonable.
But from Lin Jin's point of view, it was exactly as he had said.
Gu Yuena had no choice.
If she wanted to wager a fight with him, she had to put up the "stakes" first.
Because hidden beneath this demand from Gu Yuena was actually another condition—
If she lost, she would cooperate in handing the power that belonged to the Silver Dragon King over to Jia Lin.
At that time, without a doubt, Jia Lin would be nurtured in the direction of becoming a new Dragon God.
And that meant the responsibility Gu Yuena now bore would have to be carried by Jia Lin...
In other words, as the existence that had signed a Spirit Soul contract with Jia Lin, this responsibility had, in truth, been placed on him.
That was also why Lin Jin's assessment of Gu Yuena was "running away."
And even more so, it meant that regardless of whether Gu Yuena won or lost today, she would not truly be at a disadvantage.
So the "stakes" had to be handed over.
