Yan Hao's eyes flickered with a glint of despair. He never expected that despite a lifetime of intelligence, he would meet his end at the hands of the very pawn he had positioned.
Qu Ling's face twisted into a grimace, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty radiance, akin to a demon from hell at that moment.
As the dagger in his hand plunged down fiercely, a surge of immense power swept in, sending the dagger flying away.
Biting his teeth in frustration, Qu Ling knew he had missed the optimal opportunity.
Yan Hao secretly heaved a sigh of relief and, surprised, looked towards the doorway just in time to see Xu Pingfeng leading a group of people as they walked in.
Xu Lingling approached Qu Ling, disappointment filling her eyes as she spoke, "I wanted to give you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it in the slightest."
Qu Ling managed a bitter smile, "A chance? Did I ever have one?" He had known there was no turning back the moment he betrayed the Xu Family.
