Sisters Turn Against Each Other

Bai Lu's room.

Bai Lu gritted his teeth and crushed the communicator in his hand into a lump of scrap metal, then casually tossed it aside. Across from him, Ouyang Mu wore a somber expression, her brows slightly furrowed. Bai Lu glanced at Ouyang Mu and said impatiently, "If there's nothing else, go get some rest."
