Amon chuckled. "And I am not here to embarrass you. Let me put it this way. I still desire to cooperate with your sect. For now, I still consider your sect to be a more suitable partner than Lei Clan. Whether you believe me or not, that's your problem. Unlike before, I no longer have to prove myself to you."
