The bombing stopped, and the smell of smoke mingled with earth and snow, spreading wildly across the lawn.
Su Ming put away his weapon and pinched his chin, deep in thought.
Magic Prince did not relax. Instead, he pulled out more rabbits to reinforce the defensive barrier, just in case.
"What do you think?"
He asked Su Ming. In a situation like this, Deathstroke's judgment was more reliable. The smells around him made him feel as though he had returned to the battlefield, yet this was American soil.
