Assistance?
Fu Qian glanced at the speaker.
He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with thinning hair and a haggard appearance, clearly not in the best of health.
"Please rest assured, I certainly won't expect you to help without compensation."
Seeing Fu Qian looking at him, he immediately continued with sincerity and made a self-introduction.
"My name is Shang Shiming, you can verify my credibility with Roland."
Does that mean a substantial reward?
Fu Qian raised his eyebrows.
"With so many people here, why particularly seek out a newcomer like me for help?"
"You need not worry."
Seeming to perceive Fu Qian's doubts, Shang Shiming smiled and said,
"This ritual is very simple in itself, does not involve any dangerous matters, and certainly won't require you to engage in slaughter."
"The reason I think you are suitable is because a certain amount of physical strength is needed."
