Trouble!
The battle-hardened Lord Hongyuan angrily tossed the severed head to the ground. His face was livid, his eyes shifting as he pondered what had gone wrong.
Where exactly had things gone wrong? A Tan and Miao Di had both scouted the place, so there shouldn't have been any problem. No matter how you looked at it, those two were skilled scouts. There was no way they could mistake Copper Coconut for someone else when he was such a large, living person.
