As he spoke, Zhan En drew a deep breath.
A year had passed!
A full year!
It had been a year since there had been any news of Jiang Fan!
Ever since Jiang Fan had fought Roger in the sky above Canglan Star a year ago, he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Afterward, the relevant departments investigated and assessed the situation, determining that Jiang Fan had used a suicide attack in the battle and been destroyed in the Spatial Rift.
