The Black Knight chose to trust no one and was in no hurry to pair with anyone.
As long as he ignored the deceivers, they would naturally go away.
He just stood in the hall, watching Gao Xin and The Swamp Crocodile go inside for a private chat.
Then they came out, exchanged a few words with Ling Sha, and then planned to enter for a deeper discussion with Ling Sha.
The Black Knight found it odd—why were these three number nines chatting together while sidelining him, the number one?
Weren't they competing for his favor?
Indeed, as three nines, whatever they said, he wouldn't believe.
The real number nine must know the other two were frauds and would surely want to pair with him.
So, he estimated that the real one was negotiating with the two frauds to have them withdraw from any interference.
Sure enough, just as Gao Xin was about to enter the room with Ling Sha and The Swamp Crocodile, he paused unexpectedly.
