"Just now, they fought tooth and nail over the Perfected King Realm match, but now they were pulling out every trick in the book to refuse. The people of Red River Gate really were a bunch of oddballs!" Seeing this scene, Nie Yun immediately understood what they were planning and shook his head helplessly.
