Dare to Challenge Me

Navi, seated at the center of the room, wasnguid. His outfit today was very eye-catching. His crimson pants and white top exuded a grace and nobility that contrasted sharply with the simple bamboo buildings of the vige.
At this moment, I couldn''t help but feel a mix of emotions. I had seen countless luxuries before, but they paledpared to this. When I saw Navi sitting there like a king, it made sense that General Xavier would seek to eliminate him.
And Navi had dared to collude with an external alliance and join forces against the Triple Alliance, showing that he was very ambitious.
Navi was sitting there motionless. He had lost the courtesy he had shown when we visited his mansionst night. He now wore a strange smile that seemed out of ce, with a flicker of evil cunning in his eyes.
That, along with this ce''s luxury, heightened his conceit as andlord.
I never imagined how miraculous fate could be. I was a simple girl who had gone to university in Foswood and married an ordinary citizen. Everything should have been in and normal, but because of a marriage upheaval, I embarked on this bizarre path and ended up in a foreignnd where I had to face life-and-death situations.
If it weren''t for the man beside me, I would have thought this was all just a dream.
Sometimes, I even wondered when I would wake up.
"Mr. As! I''m surprised. You''re bold to enter my base!" Navi held a pipe in his hand as he looked at us.
He had a discordant smile on his face, and the light in his eyes was sharp.
As smiled slightly but stayed remarkablyposed. "Everyone knows that I always n things meticulously. I know anything and everything. And your base is no longer a secret. You''re too full of yourself, Mr. Navi."
His remarks were vored with provocation and reeked of contempt.
After settling me into a seat, As unceremoniously sat down beside me. He crossed his legszily and looked at Navi. "I''vee to see what kind of person the Non-Organization would dare send to challenge me."
Navi''s mouth quirked. He stared at As''s handsome face and said softly, "You''re too kind."
"Far from it. There''s no way I wouldn''t be concerned since someone has imprisoned my father-inw." My heart was warmed by As''s very reasonable exnation.
When Navi heard that, he appeared to calm down a little. He put down his pipe, straightened his shirt, and said, "Looks like you''re a man of deep''s and loyalty, Mr.
Attas!"
Navi looked at As with a false smile and said, "But youck sincerity."
"Sincerity?" As immediately looked at Navi. "I was going to let you return to Bibury, but you demand sincerity from me?"
Navi chuckled, "There must be a reason why you were going to let me return, right, Mr. As?"
After hearing what he had to say, I became furious and couldn''t take it any more.
"How shameless of you, Mr. Navi!" I said bluntly without any politeness. "You dare to push your luck even after someone has decided to let you go!"
"Mrs. As eloquent indeed, but
''letting go'' is a little far-fetched. If I wanted to leave, it would be difficult for Mr. As to stop me. Everyone''s intentions are clear, so why bother arguing about it?" Navi nced at me disdainfully.
"This is not something a mere woman like you can understand."
His words clearly showed his contempt for me.
"Men''s affairs are none of my business, but what you''ve done is not something a man would do Even if I am just a woman, I can still see that it''s wrong!" I retorted
mercilessly.
I wasn''t going to be nice to a viin who imprisoned my loved ones. I was already being exceptionallyposed by sitting here and facing this despicable scum.
His face darkened. "It''s all for the sake of the person in my hands!"
"The person in your hands?" I snorted. "You must think you''re some kind of overlord!"
"I don''t dare call myself an overlord, but don''t forget, Mrs. Chloe, this is my territory!" Navi''s expression darkened as he spoke icily.
Then he turned to As, ignoring me.
"I''m sure you haven''t rushed here overnight just to visit my ce, Mr. As." Navi changed the topic in an attempt to cut to the chase.
