Why did Arthur and the "Blood Descendants" need to put on a double act?
Of course, because there was an audience!
The stalkers driven away by the serpent had retreated, but something had been left behind.
With Fujin's eyes, Arthur could see it clearly.
Thus, Arthur decided to reveal more information—
It wasn't just that his cooperation with the "Blood Descendants" needed to be known by more people, but also the fact that he was "seriously injured" had to be widely recognized.
The former was to set people at ease.
This included, but was not limited to, Marinda.
Of course, this lady's priority was at the very front.
After all, she brought him the most benefits.
And the latter?
To some extent, it was even more important than the former.
Arthur knew his own strength clearly.
In very special circumstances, he feared nothing; but under normal conditions, he was like a paper giant, easily punctured with a poke.
