Elder Blake's eyes were bloodshot as he was choked, the feeling of suffocation growing stronger.
He was nearly hysterical, his voice cold and mocking, "What good will killing me do? The Phoenix Kingdom is teeming with masters. It won't be long before not just you, but even that Goddess Sylvia..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
"Goddess Sylvia what? Keep talking," Timothy's gaze was icy.
Elder Blake suddenly sneered, "I might tell you, but first, let's talk terms. You don't think I'd just spill everything, do you?"
Just when he thought he was cornered, Elder Blake suddenly regained his confidence.
He realized that Timothy cared about Goddess Sylvia far more than he had imagined.
Using information about Goddess Sylvia as leverage could not only give him a chance to survive but might even make Timothy surrender!
As long as he held the secret about Goddess Sylvia, Timothy couldn't touch him!
He felt Timothy's grip loosen slightly.
