Outside the house, a deathly silence reigned over the icy, snow-covered landscape, but inside the luxury office with its red pine wood flooring, it was spring all year round.

Alexander poured two glasses of liquor and handed one to Lu Yao.

And the reason for all this is because we believed the lies of the Star Alliance Country! These shameless deceivers with nothing but lies on their lips!

So, no matter what others think, I will never trust them again, and I'm quite happy to see you causing trouble for the Star Alliance Country."
