"Qu Shanhai, you are an elder of the Nanxi Qu Family, yet you have the audacity to break your word, even stooping so low as to do such a thing." Mu Nan and Huayue, along with a few others, cursed aloud while rushing towards Mu Hanyan, hoping to shield her from harm. However, the disparity in their abilities was clear, and they couldn't match the speed of their adversary.
Mu Hanyan's expression turned grim. She was not so naive as to believe that Qu Shanhai and his cohort would idly watch her retrieve the Dragon Blood Stone, but she also hadn't expected him to be so shameless, not even bothering to invent a pretext or utter any superfluous words before attempting to snatch it directly. Oh, he did have a reason—but not for her; it was merely a self-comforting excuse, akin to burying one's head in the sand.
Perhaps the most shameless people in the world are those who no longer realize their own shamelessness.
