Griseo V.S. Pelois

"Hehe... Icarus. What a long-lost name."

'Wise' lowered his head and chuckled.

"Brother!"

"Junior brother!"

Belle and Ye Shunguang could not help worrying. The voice coming from Wise was so familiar, yet its tone was completely alien—arrogant and disdainful!

"Little Griseo, unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

'Wise' tilted his head slightly and looked at Belle. "I'm right, aren't I... Belle, my dear little sister?"

Belle paused, her voice dropping as she became reluctant to say what came next.

"During an accident later on, the two of them..."

"They crashed, right?"

As if possessed, Griseo picked up the thread and directly choked off
