The Ribbon

Sun Longzi muttered something about needing to "gather intel" and stalked off like the war god he pretended to be.

 

In all honesty, I think I might have been more intimidated by him if I hadn't grown up in the Devil's Playground. After all, no one ever dared to play the war god when Dimitri was breathing down their necks.

 

I scoffed at the idea of Sun Longzi meeting any of Aunt Hattie's men. You wanted to talk about being a frog in a well? I would be more than happy to show him the entire world and let him drown in it.

 

I didn't realize it, but the moment Sun Longzi walked away, I let out a soft sigh of relief. "Better?" asked Zhu Deming, cocking his head to the side as he studied me. "You seem more relaxed when he is gone."
