"It's a reasonable estimate."
Sha Ming's words were directed at Fu Qian, and though this unreserved comment successfully evoked fear in the others, causing them to look over.
Fu Qian's remarks were not without purpose because, at the same time, Patch, having answered the question, lost interest in the conversation and reverted back to that vague human form.
Fu Qian did not insist on further discussion, promptly ending the technical exchange and seamlessly transitioning to a discussion with Sha Ming.
"But you're still not going to do anything?"
Unfortunately, Sha Ming seemed unsatisfied with his reaction.
Despite having his escape plan seen through, he remained casual.
Although his previous actions could be construed as bluffing, they still left a distinctly unpleasant impression.
"Still not released... How is this possible?"
Fortunately, not everyone was so calm; Old Master Huang's gritted teeth and bitter voice successfully made Sha Ming seem less alone.
