Given Hammerfire's status, he could speak bluntly at any time and any occasion, so when he referred to Denise directly as "girl," considering Hammerfire's age, the term was not inappropriate.
"Girl," Hammerfire said, "I think you'd better be careful with these people; they might be here to spy on the information about the New Armor!"
Hammerfire, who stood a little over a meter tall, spoke while looking up at Xia Nai and the group around him, causing their faces to turn instantly pale and ashen.
What exactly pale and ashen looks like, no one knew, but it was certainly not a good look.
Indeed, when these people heard what Hammerfire had said, their faces turned extremely unpleasant and even cold sweat broke out. Rocky had already accused them of plotting an assassination, which was defamatory in itself; now Hammerfire went further, dropping a huge accusation of corporate espionage on them—an accusation they could hardly bear!
