Mr. Simmons smiled slightly, "We've discussed it, and have reached a definitive conclusion."
Carson Flores' gaze fell on Mr. Simmons' face, only to find that his smile seemed to hold an eerie trace.
Carson quickly scanned the others, noticing that even though they were smiling too, their smiles also carried a touch of the bizarre.
It was like a group of hunters seeing an oblivious prey walking into a trap, like a pack of wolves eyeing a lamb.
Carson's vigilance instantly peaked, yet his face remained calm and collected.
"Let's hear it then."
Mr. Simmons chuckled, "We can agree to your request, but you have to give up something first."
The malice in everyone's smiles became increasingly evident.
Carson acted as if he hadn't noticed, saying boldly, "Go ahead, I think with the power of the Celestial Palace, there's no price we can't afford."
