Nadjeshda and everyone from Night Raid became wary when they saw Esdeath. Everyone knew just how powerful Esdeath was; only Chen Fan here could stand against her.
Esdeath frowned when she saw Chen Fan. He had broken through the Imperial Guard's defenses so quickly? How was that possible? When she saw the person Chen Fan was dragging in his hand, even Esdeath's pupils suddenly contracted.
