Are you challenging me?

"Big words, huh?" Shera scorned, contempt written all over her face. 

Leo was amused by her derisive remark. "I'm not a man of empty words." 

Shera straightened her body and crossed her arms as though she was looking down on him. "Of course. I mean… with the Qin Empire's current situation, your capability is obvious." 

Being looked down on by a woman was a stab to any man's pride. Leo raised his head to look at her. "Miss Black, are you challenging me?" 

Shera scoffed at his attempt to make her drop the loan. If she said that she was challenging him, she would have to retreat and watch from the sidelines as he revived the Qin Empire. Of course, that wouldn't go in line with her plan so she shook her head. "No, Mr. Qin, I'm only offering you a loan." 

"For the last time, I don't need it." Leo insisted.
