"Are you kidding!?"
The young man's voice suddenly rose and it reached Fang Hong's ears through the Clockwork Fairy's transmission crystal, causing a buzzing in his ears.
Fang Hong frowned, tilted his head, and only then did he move the transmission crystal slightly away from his ear—cheap transmission crystals have this downside, they capture the sound source and amplify it without any protective measures.
Luckily, he had preemptively reacted by lowering the sound, otherwise, he feared it might cause a perforation of his eardrum.
In Fang Hong's vision, the young man seemed to be struggling to stand up, but a pair of pale bone hands pressed him firmly from behind. Behind was a Black Swordsman, with two glowing red lights flashing on its jagged skull, standing solemnly with his sword on his back.
