บท 1304: If you can

Rui narrowed his eyes as he heard the man respond to his thought while revealing his name.

Yet, seeing Rui easily discover his greatest secret made him feel trivial. The arrogance that had long developed within him, centered around this secret, began unraveling.

He had run into the one Martial Artist who was capable of learning the truth with just the sheer brilliance of his mind.
