"More or less."
Jingyi shrugged, leaning casually against the pillar behind him as he said:
"On the way to the camp, I saw the squad you were with, so I had my puppet capture you. As for your companions..."
"You killed them?"
Hearing only half of Jingyi's sentence, Pakura slapped the log thicker than her calf and roared at him furiously:
