"It's a trivial matter. I didn't even need to lift a finger. You should thank Huo Mian instead," Lin Feng replied calmly, his tone so indifferent that it made the entire ordeal seem insignificant.
"Thank you, Miss Huo Mian," Chen Nuo said, bowing slightly. However, the gratitude in her voice was faint, almost forced.
Deep down, she knew the truth that Huo Mian had only acted because Lin Feng willed it.
Without him, justice would have remained nothing more than a distant dream she could never reach.
Huo Mian merely glanced at her and gave a small nod, neither accepting nor rejecting the thanks. To her, Chen Nuo's feelings were irrelevant.
The only thing that mattered was fulfilling her master's command. A brief silence followed, heavy and suffocating.
The man who had been dragged here lay sprawled on the ground like a broken corpse. His limbs trembled uncontrollably, his face pale as death, and his eyes were filled with absolute terror.
