Lin Jia hesitated; he indeed wanted to give it a try.
However, he also had to weigh the costs.
He was born into the Lin Family, a descendant of the Old Imperial Family, with a noble status. He initially thought that even if he failed, there wouldn't be a life-threatening danger.
But now, Xu Mo warned him in advance.
If he tried, he would kill.
This meant that the cost of failure was death.
Therefore, he had to assess whether it was worth the risk; if successful, he would seize a position, but if failed, he would be killed.
At their level, Xu Mo wouldn't just make verbal threats. From Xu Mo's eyes, he saw a sharp aura, like an unsheathed sword, carrying slaughter.
Thus, Lin Jia did not doubt Xu Mo's determination.
