Rebecca nodded excitedly. "Yay!"
Just then, a deep voice came from nearby. "Sorry, I'm late."
Mann: I've never heard such a request in my life (4K)
A courtyard somewhere in The Glen, Heywood.
The traffic outside had been muffled by the walls and buildings until it was barely audible.
"What are we doing here?"
Mann was baffled.
From Rebecca, he only knew that Su Xiao wanted to see him.

Mann clenched his mechanical prosthetic and swung a fist at Su
