章節 1212: Such Promise

Barely a couple of minutes into the conversation and Hao Xuan had already had enough of it.

"No, I'm not doing this anymore. No more riddles, no mystified puzzles, or cryptic parables. If you want me to actually listen to you then speak plainly. I'm not going to sit here deciphering the meaning behind every word, that's not going to happen today."

Hao Xuan stood up at once, prepared to leave here empty-handed even if it meant not getting any answers at all. If what Claudia said was true then it would not just end like this.

But even when he had reached the door the old lady remained silent. Hao Xuan paused briefly to consider the impact of his decision but since she wasn't going to stop him there was no reason to stay. It would only make him look weak in front of this potential enemy if he chose to go back on his own word.

He grabbed the handle and pulled it open to see the portal still waiting for him in the same place. She really wasn't planning to keep him here.
