“No need It didn’t take any effort onoff now”

The old , he watched Linley depart

“Tony, you three should go home as well Your parents are no doubt extre farewell, Alice, Niya, and Tony all headed back to their own homes

When Kalan and the silver-haired oldroom, the old man’s face suddenly turned cold In a voice filled with frozen rage, he barked out, “On your knees!”

I’ll let your own father decide what punish – in the future, if you continue to act so foolishly, even if the clan is handed over to you, you reck it!”
