Michael Armstrong of the Vertical Eye Tribe didn't know that Peter Brown was cultivating Lingcao inside the formation. He thought he had trapped Peter within the formation, preventing his escape. So, accompanied by two women, he continued the siege, believing that Peter would have to emerge sooner or later.
The old man known as "Alex" had employed many tactics but still failed to break through the formation, ultimately sighing and departing.
Watching the old man leave, Michael's expression turned even grimmer as he shouted into the formation again, "I, Michael Armstrong, swear to Heaven that I will not pursue your past actions as long as you leave this place."
Peter, sitting inside the formation, just smiled without replying. He understood that a battle with Michael for the System was inevitable, and it was best to take down his opponent before he became fully powerful.
