I couldn't help but experience a feeling of deja vu when Hugh pointed his guns at me.
For a second, I froze as the flashback of a certain author killing me appeared in my mind.
However, I recovered quickly and kept my poker face on as I asked, "Will you kill me?"
"I can if I want," was what Hugh replied with.
He wasn't wrong. It would at least take me a split second to deploy my martial aura and shield me from the bullet.
By that time, I would already be dead with a bullet in my head.
But unfortunately for Hugh, I don't need to employ my martial aura when I can simply use Phoenix's Embrace.
Even then, however, I would want to resolve this matter peacefully. As if he shared the same intentions, Hugh said:
"But I won't kill you. Something tells me I can't anyway. So I'll imprison you in one of our cells until you tell us what's the source of your future knowledge."
