Howard discerned the sincerity in the young man's voice, which greatly increased his fondness for him.
Since he already intended to befriend him, Howard responded with a smile, "What's rightfully yours, how can I claim it? Otherwise, what difference would there be between me and those brigands who rob others of their spoils?"
As these words fell, Pallor Swift, who was about to leave, halted in his tracks and said irritably, "If I wanted to be a robber, you two alone couldn't stop me!"
Howard, caught off guard by Pallor Swift's exceptional hearing, gave a sheepish laugh and chose not to respond.
Pallor Swift, holding a high position, undoubtedly had superior equipment, and his level was even higher than Howard's.
In a real battle, Howard was no match for him.
His previous victory in the wager was merely due to a physical advantage.
Howard wasn't the type to take advantage and act coy!
