In an instant.
The air at the scene seemed to be tightly squeezed by an invisible giant hand, turning it as eerily silent as the silence of birds.
Neither Chen Nan nor Niu Xiangxiu could help but hold their breaths.
The tense atmosphere felt like tangible ropes, tightly constricting their throats.
Their gazes were intense, fixedly staring at Niu Kai Xuan, as if trying to see through him to ascertain the final outcome.
On Niu Kai Xuan's face, a heavy, gloomy expression spread; he slowly shook his head.
Although he uttered not a single word, this silence fell like hammer blows after hammer blows heavily onto everyone's hearts, becoming the deafening silent answer.
From his eyes full of disappointment, Niu Xiangxiu and her mother felt their hearts drop into an icy pit, a wave of intense disappointment and despair drowning them instantly.
