Zhong Zhen was already fuming, and Jiang Mian's sudden arrival naturally made her the target of his displaced anger.
He glared at Jiang Mian, still carrying a trace of fury in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
His voice carried the oppressive force of a Seventh-tier Aberrant.
Though he hadn't released it fully, it was enough to make the surrounding environment buckle under the strain.
The old door groaned, and several faint, cobweb-like cracks appeared in the walls.

He couldn't exactly say he'd been forced to switch sides, could he?

His face darkened. He couldn't figure out what Jiang Mian was after.
