John's threat unmistakably struck right at the Treasure Thief Rat's Achilles' heel.
Throughout the Godslayer Continent, this creature plundered treasures, relying on his unparalleled speed and various escape tactics – a velocity many deities couldn't match.
This was fundamentally why the Treasure Thief Rat managed to steal so much without ever getting caught.
Every victim, whose treasure had been stolen, yearned to seize him, flay him alive, and grind his bones to dust to quench their burning vengeance.
If John truly decided to hand him over to the authorities of Storm City, the Treasure Thief Rat's fate would undoubtedly be sealed.
Even though he had unmatched escape abilities, he possessed no offensive capabilities whatsoever.
Even a common man, wielding a blade, could easily strike him down.
"How can you, a mere human, resort to such despicable tactics?" the Treasure Thief Rat protested, quite agitated and furious.
