Hearing Reynard Johnson's request, Peter Brown retorted, "Do you think I would hand over such a weapon?"
When Peter posed the question, Reynard was at a loss for words. Indeed, whoever had such a weapon in their hands was virtually unbeatable.
"But aren't you worried about the imperial court's troops being sent to subdue you?" Reynard asked worriedly.
Peter just laughed and said, "If I were to use the Sonic device, who could possibly attack my island?"
With that said, Reynard was speechless again. Though they could bombard with artillery, if Peter were truly driven into a corner, he might just retaliate using the device's sound waves, the consequences of which were worrisome even to think about.
At this point, Peter said, "After all, I'm still an official. Unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn't do anything to harm the imperial court."
