Shi Hao was suddenly startled, never expecting someone to be waiting for a chance like a hunter lying in wait.
He thought for a moment and said, "How do I know she's still alive?"
"Girl, shout twice," that cold voice commanded.
"Tch! You dare to kidnap me, do you know who I am—" Su Manman's voice rose but was abruptly cut off.
"Your requirement has been satisfied, now can you hand over the item?" the cold voice said.
Shi Hao's principle was not to accept threats, for once he stepped back, he might be forced to step back farther, two steps or even three, until he was beyond salvation.
However, he only had the lotus pod because of Su Manman. Although it was an exotic treasure nurtured by the Earth Core Poisonous Fire, and surely extremely precious, he would not hesitate to give it up if needed.
He had previously promised to save Su Manman three times.
