All eyes in the room shifted instantaneously, transforming into that of ravenous wolves, while Carson Flores became their helpless lamb.
Yet, Carson's expression remained unchanged. Faced with the aggressive gazes, he calmly said, "Everyone desires a chance at immortality, but one must first survive to enjoy it. With your level of strength, I could take each of your lives with a single punch. If you're not afraid of death and covet that chance at immortality, why not come forward and try?"
Everyone's faces immediately revealed hesitation.
Indeed, as tempting as a chance at immortality was, one would have to kill Carson Flores and live to make it worthwhile.
If Seth Hoffman, ranked tenth in strength in all of Nine Provinces, could be killed with a single punch by Carson, wouldn't they just be throwing their lives away?
Perhaps it would be wiser to wait and see, to let someone else make the first move, to see if there was an opportunity to gain an advantage?
Nobody was a fool.
