The Baldhead Is Here!

"Old Captain..."

The tree hollow fell silent for several seconds.

Milluki froze with chips he had pulled from who knew where halfway to his mouth. Morel had a pipe clenched between his teeth, his ears practically smoking, yet he had forgotten to exhale. Gela Jiang was the first to crack.

Bai Zhu tapped the screen.
