In an instant, the lecherous middle-aged man's expression changed, revealing a hint of surprise. The next instant, he quickly lowered his head, preparing to pick up the dagger.
The reason he had such an imposing demeanor earlier was because he was holding the dagger. He intended to use it to intimidate Hao Jian; after all, it was normal for a young man like Hao Jian, full of hot-blooded courage, to act valiantly, though they usually just talked tough without action.
But the moment a weapon like a dagger is presented, it would surely frighten them. That's why he carried a dagger with him.
