"Betraying teammates isn't my style."
Li Cheng shook his head, "Even in games, I always hit 'no' when it's time to surrender, even when all four teammates curse me for AFKing since the start."
He lifted Red Spider's body with one hand, taking a skull fragment from Gray Rain with the other, and poured the brains held in it back into the skull.
