When Kiva heard these words, his body became filled with terror.
He hadn't known who Shang was earlier, but now, he knew who stood in front of him.
Kiva's insides shook, but he did his best to hide it.
"Then you should know how stupid it would be to kill me," Kiva said with a calm voice.
Shang only smirked and looked into his eyes. "Why?"
"You know who I am, and you know how much my life is worth," Kiva said. "Killing me would bring you nothing but momentary satisfaction while keeping me as a hostage gives you monetary satisfaction. One is worth more than the other."
"You should know how expensive it is to become more powerful. Don't throw millions of gold out of the window just because you feel like it," Kiva said.
Shang nodded along.
Yep, Kiva Orvis was probably worth over 50 million gold.
"You know, you would have a point in other circumstances," Shang said.
Kiva's insides tightened.
