Jiang Ming scoffed, his eyes filled with derision.
"Don't try to play the family card with me. Our cooperation back then was purely out of necessity. But I'm curious about what you meant a few days ago."
His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the vast hall.
Klick's smile faltered for a moment before he resumed his nonchalant demeanor.
"It wasn't anything significant. It was just that some of the brothers below didn't know better and accidentally disrupted the A Level exam held by the Pacific Ocean. I didn't expect you to participate in such a boring human exam. If I had known you were involved, I certainly wouldn't have allowed those fools to act like that."
Jiang Ming snorted coldly. "Enough with the flattery. I know your people wouldn't do such things without reason. Besides, only A Level and above Ability Users with combat experience can participate in the A Level exam. Don't tell me this was just a spur-of-the-moment attack."
Klick burst into laughter, though there was an eerie undertone to it.
"Haha, nothing escapes your notice, my friend." He stood up and took two slow steps toward Jiang Ming, each step seemingly laden with heavy pressure that made it hard to breathe.
"I received word from above that they say someone is currently in your team."
Jiang Ming closed his eyes, the air around him feeling as if it had solidified.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, looking at Klick with a piercing gaze that seemed capable of penetrating anything. "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to blackmail me?"
Klick circled around him, wearing a sycophantic smile. "How could I dare? Mountain Deity, you are the top combat force among our Ability Users now. I wouldn't be foolish enough to oppose you. I just want you to give me some face; otherwise, it would be difficult for me to report back to those above. Don't you agree?"
He crossed his arms and stood directly in front of Jiang Ming, grinning at him. The meaning behind his expression shifted unpredictably, making it hard to grasp.
Jiang Ming lowered his gaze slightly, a complex glimmer flickering in his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice cold and resolute. "Very well, I will let you go this once. But I hope you understand what should be said and what should not."
Upon hearing this, Klick burst into raucous laughter, the sound echoing through the vast hall, filled with a sense of triumph and arrogance.
"Rest assured, Mountain Deity. Since you are being so accommodating, I will certainly keep that person's whereabouts a secret. This matter will be known only to you and me; no one else will hear a word of it."
Jiang Ming's gaze suddenly turned sharp, piercing like a sword towards the attendants kneeling beside Klick.
"And what about them?"
Klick raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly replying, "They naturally won't say anything."
In the next moment, Klick swiftly gathered waves of light with his hands. In an instant, as the brilliance shone, all the Ability Users kneeling on the ground had their moisture drained away by Klick's Psychic Ability, transforming them into desiccated corpses.
In the blink of an eye, the once vibrant lives now lay sprawled on the ground, creating a spectacular yet horrifying scene of dried bodies.
Jiang Ming let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt. "You truly are ruthless; you can even turn on your own."
As Klick turned to flee, he heard Jiang Ming's words and glanced back, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
