Chapter 968 Both Of Them Had Their Own Evil Plots (1/2)

Darren narrowed his eyes and looked the man up and down. It was a few seconds before he recognized him. ”Oh, it's you. You're so good at disguising yourself that I almost didn't recognize you,” Darren whispered.

The man closed the door behind him and then swiftly took the mask off his face. With an insidious smile, he said, ”Since you've managed to achieve your purpose, you must now keep your promise to me.”

Under the mask were Agni's wrinkled face and somber eyes. There was a faintly wry smile on his lips.

”Your beloved disciple has betrayed you. Do you think it will ever be possible for you to live a peaceful and quiet life after this?”

Darren said in a sarcastic tone as he picked up his goblet of wine from the table again. After a gentle swirl of the goblet, he drank all the wine in it.

”Mr. Xu, you're such a young and capable man. And besides that, you're handsome and rich. As one of the most influential people in Jingshi City, you can easily get everything you want or desire. But I'm just a poor man with nothing. I only want to spend my remaining years in comfort; I don't want to become involved in the disputes between all sorts of powerful forces. As long as you agree to that, it will not be difficult for me to mind my own business,”
