At that point, Joseph dropped the pretense and spoke plainly.
A vast aura surged through the room as Joseph unleashed his power. The gravity in the entire room suddenly intensified.
He was clearly trying to pressure Lin Feng!
Handing over Diona was the easy way out.
Refusing meant facing two factions at once!
Joseph had never been a patient man.
Treating Shanhai as an equal was already the greatest concession Joseph was willing to make, but Shanhai clearly didn't know what was good for him!
Lin Feng couldn't help bursting into laughter.
"Looks like you don't know this about me, Shanhai. I always keep my word!"
As he spoke, Lin Feng stood and met Joseph's gaze without backing down.
Here it comes. Everything's going exactly as I planned! Get angrier. A little angrier would be perfect!
"I'm not handing her over. End of story!"
"If you want my Black Cat, try taking her with your life on the line!"
"The Seventh Faction is nothing but ants! You think I need your help?!"
Since Joseph had dropped the pretense, Lin Feng saw no reason to keep up appearances!
An aura no weaker than Joseph's erupted from Lin Feng and crashed against his.
Bowls and chopsticks on the table cracked apart, while some of the flimsier decorations began to crumble.
"Think carefully about this!" The corners of Joseph's eyes twitched.
He could no longer begin to fathom what Shanhai was thinking.
Would someone really make an enemy of a powerhouse like him over a pair of cat ears he liked?
Lin Feng's eyes widened. He slammed his palm onto the table with a bang, and cracks spread across its hard surface.
"You're as slow as a worm crawling across some primitive planet!"
"Was I not clear enough? I'm not handing her over!"
