"Then I feel like the Guard Group is guarding absolutely nothing..." Sun Hang muttered. "If some anomalous creature broke through and got close to Bao Si, they wouldn't have time to react at all, would they?"
"The Guard Group isn't protecting Bao Si. They're protecting Garuda," Ye Xuan said. "Bao Si's charm ability is her best defense."

Before an anomalous creature comparable
