Chen Lie's surgery was finally complete, with ten minutes to spare. Huo Shaoheng's chest relaxed and he now was more than confident with dealing with Bai Changui and Bai Jinyi. He raised his white gloved right hand in a wave, and the armed guards immediately retreated into their ambush positions.
Bai Changhui and Bai Jinyi immediately felt less cornered. "Now what? Did you decide? What good comes from going against the Imperial Administration and Military? You've climbed to the rank of Major General at a young age, so you should cherish it—" Bai Changhui immediately unleashed his usual blatant threats and lures as soon as he relaxed.
Huo Shaoheng calmly waited for him to finish and replied dryly, "What you've just said, I can return it right back to you."
