Eyes closed, he sensed that 80 meters away someone was headed towards him, after opening his eyes, a burst of blue light illuminated the entire room, gradually fading away.

He got up and leisurely strolled outside, seeing Lou Chingham making his way up the mountain.

When Lou Chingham arrived, they casually exchanged greetings, Lou Chingham then started intimating to Hartley that Lou Lee was the grandchild of a very respected elder, stressing the seriousness of the situation.

Lou Chingham said all this with a pleasant and caring smile on his face, and was about to say more when Hartley interjected.

"And if he wins, he will let me keep my life?"
