Wuxie Killed Him

Ren's frown deepened, his sharp features hardening as he processed her words. "That's not going to hold up if anyone finds out. The Humans will come after us if they suspect we're involved."

Sumi tilted her head, a sly grin spreading across her face. "Who said they'll find out? I'll make sure the story tells itself."

She scanned the area again, her gaze sharp and calculating. Her eyes landed on a faint glimmer near the edge of the clearing. Bending down, she retrieved a small pendant that had slipped from Wuxie during his struggle. The delicate chain and charm were unmistakable—it belonged to Wuxie.

"Perfect," Sumi murmured, holding up the pendant for Ren to see. "Looks like he left us a gift."

Ren's eyes narrowed. "You're playing a dangerous game, Sumi."
