Li Huowang lay prone in the bamboo forest, concealed by the bushes as he waited for Qing Wanglai's help.
As time ticked by, however, Li Huowang began to feel pain in his hand, and it was getting progressively worse.
Yang Na, holding the enemy firearm she had just acquired, immediately noticed something was wrong and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright? Maybe I should help you get out of here first."
Li Huowang gritted his teeth and shook his head. As he flung his severed hand onto the ground, the searing pain instantly sobered him.
"No. I can't trust them right now. Besides, if we fail this time, even White Jade Capital might be lost. Where could we possibly run to then?"
As he spoke, Li Huowang leaned a little closer to her. "It's nothing, just a bit of pain. As long as you're with me, I can't die."
