boom!
Fang Mengru's words were like a final, decisive blow, completely shattering the psychological defenses of everyone present.
Fatty Zhang's legs went weak, and he could no longer support himself, collapsing to the ground with a thud, his face ashen and his eyes unfocused.
Geng Yu and Ling Changning stared, mouths agape, unsure how to react. They felt like two fools, worrying endlessly about the emperor's new clothes, unaware that the emperor had already donned interstellar armor.
Leng Nan was completely stunned.
Looking at the man before her, she felt a chill that she couldn't control for the first time.

"The objective of Operation 'Sharp Sword' is to cut off the supply line of an assassin codenamed 'Ghost,' right?"

He straightened up, and the curve of his lips became dangerous and alluring.
"Captain Leng, tell me, the military order, plus personal grudges..."
"Is there anyone in this world more suitable as a 'partner' than me?"
He looked at Leng Nan's icy face and finally saw a crack appear.
"Do you want to catch her yourself?"
