"Do you think I'm right? Does that make sense?"
As though unwilling to let up now that he had the upper hand, Xia Xu kept pressing with a smile.
To Yao Fu, the person on the receiving end, that smile undoubtedly looked like a glaring sneer.
"Yes... you're right..."
Yao Fu seemed to slump altogether, every last bit of his spirit draining away.
"Looks like your values are pretty sound after all. Just what I'd expect of Batman."
Xia Xu looked approving and generously gave him a thumbs-up.
"If you're here to mock me, you can leave."
Yao Fu gave a dejected, self-deprecating laugh.
At that moment, the name Batman undoubtedly grated on his ears.
"No, quite the opposite. I'm here to bring you a big gift."
Xia Xu smiled again.
Meeting Yao Fu first was slightly outside his expectations, but there were a few loose ends he needed Yao Fu to help tie up anyway, so he might as well take care of them now.
"I don't need any big gift."
Yao Fu's attitude was very cold.
Even if the person before him had nothing to do with his parents' deaths, his cold indifference in refusing to save them was still a fact. He could hardly be expected to be friendly.
"Even if that gift is bringing your parents back to life, you still don't want it?"
Xia Xu spoke with a smile.
"What did you say?"
Yao Fu shuddered.
"Your parents."
Xia Xu repeated himself.
"You... you..."
Although he knew that something like "resurrection" was clearly unrealistic, Yao Fu was still tempted, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes. "Can you really bring them back?"
"That's not wrong, though it isn't resurrection the way you're imagining it. It's just revoking their death certificates."
Xia Xu couldn't hold
