Gary jerked his head up.
"Your... Your Excellency? What do you mean by this!?"
He looked utterly shocked.
He had only intended to bleed himself dry to save his life, but now the other party was indicating they wanted to take over the place.
"Those two warehouses outside, they're full of the craftsmen you've captured, aren't they?"
Chen Lun's tone was light, as if he was discussing something perfectly ordinary. However, to Gary's ears, the words rang like a thunderclap.
"You...!"
Gary quickly suppressed his emotions and took a deep breath.
"It seems you're already aware," he said.
Chen Lun nodded and casually threw a pair of Mad Hand and a Blunderbuss onto the table with two clattering sounds.
"You kidnapped so many craftsmen just to make these two things?"
A faint light radiated from the seashell necklace at Chen Lun's chest. A struggle flashed in Gary's eyes, then he sighed and his expression became one of resignation.
"You guys, come over here!"
