I was surprised to find that there was only one seemingly delicate girl in the hall, with pale lips that faintly revealed illness.

"Please have a seat and wait here. Brother will be back soon."

The girl in front of me looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't recall where I had seen her before.

I surveyed the decoration of the living room, a simple and clean style that seemed a bit unworthy of its magnificent appearance.

After a while, the sound of a car parking came from the entrance, and a man in a suit strode over.

"Help the young lady upstairs to rest." His cold voice brooked no interference.

Only then did I notice that the girl was blind, and her hearing seemed to be somewhat impaired.

After the girl left, the man's expression changed, like a wolf ready to pounce, as if he would tear us apart in the next second.

At that moment, the old lady also woke up and, at the first glimpse of his eyes, she recoiled in fear.

After a while, as if remembering something, she hesitantly asked the man in front of her, "Are you Li Shang?"

The man's gaze swept over her. "Yes, you killed one of my subordinates. Shouldn't we settle this account first? Hmm?"

His rising tone carried a sense of danger. In the eerie atmosphere, I couldn't help but furrow my brows. In the next second, the man stood up from his seat and walked to my side, grabbing me by the collar.

He lifted me up, and the air began to thin. Just as I was about to reach out to draw my armor, the old lady suddenly lunged forward, trying to pull me down by grabbing the man's arm.

Everything happened in an instant. The pained cry of the old lady, kicked to the ground, and the man's suppressed groan followed in quick succession.

And I stood firmly on the ground, looking down at the two people.

The scales on my flesh and blood-covered arm were partially torn, oozing blood intermittently.

"Wait, not today."

Just as I was about to take action, the man's voice sounded, seemingly instinctively sensing the danger. His tone was no longer as strong as before, tinged with a hint of pleading.

"Reason."
