"What do you have to say?"
Yang Hao turned his head. What was with that woman's expression?
"Are all you humans this devious and treacherous?"
The Ice Empress voiced the question on her mind. She was quite disappointed in Huo Yuhao. She'd thought he was a good kid back then, but who could have guessed he'd turn out like this?
And the guy in front of her was even worse, scheming against others at every turn. He was simply far too devious.
