"You fought well. Congratulations on your victory, and don't worry about the repercussions of Rauf's death. We'll be at your side to support you," Robert said as he squeezed one of the sweaty young man's shoulders.
Lazarus was also there, extremely pleased with Liam's display of power and how the boy had countered the Emerald Owls' trick.
"You played it right by using a pill to promote yourself... But how will you be now? Do you need to rest for a few days?" Lazarus asked Liam. He was in the dark about the truth of the boy's cultivation.
Robert didn't want to reveal the secret, as he wanted Liam to stay in City Thirteen for the time being. He stepped back and said nothing while he waited for Liam's answer.
"I think about three days will be enough for me to be at my best again. As much as I risked it, I used nothing as violent as that man," Liam replied, pretending that he needed to rest.
In fact, he wouldn't even need an hour to get back to his best!
