Yechen smiled and waved a hand. A golden gleam flashed in his eyes, and an invisible force enveloped the entire Tower.
His sudden action put all three of them on guard.
"Relax. I'm only doing this because I don't want anyone overhearing our conversation."
Seeing that they were still on edge, Yechen continued.
