Childhood Friend of the Zenith

Chapter 1117

“I refuse.”

At the Heavenly Lord’s answer, the atmosphere immediately turned cold.

A rejection? That was an unexpected response.

‘What?’

I narrowed my eyes. He was refusing? That was an absurd statement.

“Are you saying you will not offer your assistance?”

Even my father, seemingly unable to believe it, asked again.

‘The old man’s playing with words.’
