Zhou Cheng gave a cold smile.
"I hate this attitude of yours most of all, you people in high places!"
"When I treat them like this, I'm going too far."

In the end, she could only turn a blind eye.
As long as no one died, she would leave it alone.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu awoke from the genjutsu's control.
Seeing that they were still in the office, they
