"You're quite smart, at least a bit smarter than my wife."
"..."
The confidence buff from Hooked Kiss hadn't worn off yet, and Mikhail didn't know how to respond to that.
"No matter what, we have to go over there and take a look. If it doesn't work out, we'll just leave here, take the World Tree Tear and retreat."
Fortunately, apart from confidence, Hooked Kiss's mind was still functioning normally. He reached into his clothes but couldn't find his familiar golden dagger. He immediately let out a puzzled "Huh" and exclaimed while searching up and down,
"Wait, damn it, where's my knife?"
"Is that thing important?"
"...Hahaha, it's just like that, no big deal. Let's go! Let's head out quickly!"
A layer of sweat uncontrollably formed on Hooked Kiss's forehead, but the expression on his face remained confident. He released Mikhail, put his hands on his hips, and prepared to head in the direction of the stone tower.
