The youth's eyes, which had been empty, regained a glimmer of spirit as he replied with determination, "If I betray, may I gouge out my heart and scrape my bones; I shall not die a good death."
"Good." Watching the boy's clear yet resolutely decisive gaze, Ling Xi nodded in agreement.
Although she did not fully trust him, she now was in need of people.
The moment Ling Xi nodded, the boy smiled, like blossoms flourishing in splendor, stunningly beautiful.
Ling Xi approached the presenter and began, "I want him as well, the conditions."
"This..." The presenter had an expression of difficulty, "I don't have the authority to decide that." After all, from the past until now, the rule has been that the victor may choose one person to take away. The desire to take another was completely new to her.
It seems that human nature is always greedy! Even those who appear so calm and collected are no exception!
