"So what if I showed myself? What now?" asked Rean with a smirk as always.
Hearing that, Zostemou looked at Rean's expression of confidence. However, if one wanted to talk about confidence, then Zostemou was even more confident. "Hehehe! I thought you would come sooner or later, so I prepared a gift for you."
Suddenly, the entire city-state began to tremble as an underground formation activated. That underground formation was obviously under Zostemou's command, and he used to bind it Rean down. Several multicolored bindings sprung from thin air. They all tried to bind Rean on the spot, which Rean didn't try to stop at all.
Seeing that Rean was easily caught, Zostemou sighed in relief, instantly saying, "So, what were you saying? Something about my taxes being too high and that it hurt the people? Ha! I couldn't care less. That's how the world works. The strong prey on the weak, simple as that. Give me one reason not to kill you right now."
