Ignacio Richard's overwhelming force crashed into me, and I couldn't withstand the impact any longer. Blood spurted from my mouth as I dropped to one knee on the ground.
Ignacio Richard's brow furrowed slightly as he observed my condition.
He spoke in an icy tone, "Mason Raymond, are you aware that we're all hunting you down right now?"
"You wreaked havoc at the auction, hurt countless people, and you still have the nerve to show up!"
I wiped the blood from my lips and replied, "I came looking for you because there's something crucial I need to discuss."
"Something crucial?" Ignacio Richard's eyes became slits as he said coldly, "What exactly?"
"I want to work together with you." I pressed against the wall and gradually got back on my feet.
At these words, Ignacio Richard burst out laughing: "Mason Raymond, what makes you think you're worthy of partnering with me? Do you believe I need your cooperation?!"
