Lin Yuchen stalled Qi Lian with a subservient demeanor, but at the same time, he was sending a message to Lin Hao via voice transmission:
"My apologies, little brother. But I know you're powerful. You were completely unaffected when Qi Lian just used her Charm Art. That's why I'm sure you can escape."
Here, Lin Yuchen paused, his tone growing more earnest.
"That's exactly why I decided to use you. I wouldn't have done this to anyone else. I, Lin Yuchen, swear I will repay this debt in the future. When that time comes, you can kill me or torture me—it'll be up to you. If I let a woman suck me dry, I'd bring nothing but shame to the Lin family. I would rather die at your hands."
Lin Hao hadn't had a shred of goodwill toward Lin Yuchen, and he despised being used. But after hearing those heartfelt words, his opinion of the man began to change.
