"I'll dine on this secret for the rest of my life."
Ye Lin took Hong Batian's hand away and chuckled.
"Don't. Who are we to each other? I won't expose you, so don't expose me."
Seeing Ye Lin's stance, Hong Batian immediately became anxious.
Only Ye Lin knew about his dark history. Well, aside from Ye Lin, a few others knew too.
But Ye Lin knew it in the greatest detail.
He absolutely could not let the man before him spill it.
"Since you insist on being like this, then I'll have to deal with you, this unstable factor."
"There's only one way to deal with an unstable factor like you—kill you. Only the dead can keep secrets."
Hong Batian glared fiercely at Ye Lin.
Yet Ye Lin did not move in the slightest, merely watching him with a half-smile.
"Fine, you really won't give me even a shred of face."
Seeing this, Hong Batian conceded. He released Ye Lin, flicked his sleeve, and turned his back on him.
