An unsettling silence enveloped the banquet hall.
The second boss wore a sinister smile as he listened to Jareyh's response. After an extended pause, he leisurely rose from his seat and approached Jareyh, delicately pointing his slender finger at him with a lilt in his voice:
“Jareyh, I previously mentioned that those who gamble must adhere to the consequences. Since you refuse to answer, I shall have to impose a light punishment…”
Jareyh’s brow furrowed, his gaze unwavering on the second boss as he replied firmly:
“Second Boss, our ability to establish Elephant Tower in Harbei City signifies our readiness to confront any external challenges. Do you believe that your actions today will intimidate us into retreating?”
Jareyh’s words resonated with conviction, but the second boss only smiled deviously.
