"What, afraid to speak now?"
Mr. Hua stopped when he mentioned being seized by that guy, and Xu Fan, having roughly guessed what happened next, couldn't help but tease him.
"This... this..."
Meeting Xu Fan's gaze, Mr. Hua couldn't help but shiver.
At this point, there was no hiding it anymore. He sighed and continued speaking.
"He... he said he wanted to kill me to eliminate future threats. I... in order to save my life, gave you up."
After stealing the Ten-Handed Sword and the Seven Treasures Relic, that guy didn't leave but continued lurking in Jinling.
Clearly, he was worried that if he went back to Dongying, someone would still be following him, causing trouble.
In desperation to save his life, Mr. Hua had no choice but to confess everything about being beaten by Xu Fan.
And he told that guy that the military had now entrusted the matter to Xu Fan.
He figured that by diverting the guy's attention to Xu Fan, he could spare himself.
