Xianyu casually tossed Guan Liang's Jade Abacus onto the table.
He stood and looked out the window, quickly deducing the positions of several snipers.
He tugged at Zandar's sleeve and said, "Don't stray too far from me. Remember to stay beside me."
Only then would they refrain from making any rash moves.
Guan Liang's heart sank.
You once gave everything you had for the Xianzhou. You knew the Cloud Knights' deployments inside out...
