Watson's words hit me like a punch to the gut.
I had to admit her idea might actually work. Dual cultivation with someone who had a pure dark energy body could bring incredible results.
But there was no way in hell I could go through with it.
I couldn't accept anyone except Mabel Sean.
"Don't worry, I've got this handled." I patted Watson's head gently.
"I'm not just doing this for you - I'm doing it for Mabel too," Watson said, panic creeping into her voice.
I gave her a long look. "Think about it. If Mabel found out about this, how would you ever face her again?"
Watson's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. No words came out.
"Relax. It's just Vance Johansson, right? Tomorrow I'll crack his skull open myself." I forced a casual smile.
After dropping that bomb, I pulled Watson out of the room.
"See you all later." Before walking out, I glanced back at the group and gave a small bow.
"Mr. Raymond, I'm coming with you," Victor Green announced.
