He slowly opened his mouth, with the bones of his lower jaw shifting slightly downward, as if he were smiling. "Shall we step aside for a detailed chat?

After a pause, he added, "You don't need to worry about me pulling any tricks. Every trade here is witnessed by 'Judge' his Excellency."

"'Witness'?" Lucien silently mulled over the word, feeling that it might be related to the cultivation system of that "Judge" or their promotion requirements.
