He might have just been fighting, but to say he personally killed all ten-thousand-plus of them... I think there’s no way to prove it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right! The data only proves he fought for a long time, it can’t confirm his kill count!

I can prove that he... probably did kill that many beetles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the gazes of everyone in the conference room all focused on this \"outsider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Lingchuan’s sharp eyes instantly locked onto Chan Tianhao.
