That was probably for the best because if one more person broke something in my living room, I was going to become everyone's problem.

Chenghai still had one hand twisted in Shen Kaiyang's shirt near the entrance hall, while Commander Li's team were spread throughout the room in defensive positions that would have been impressive if they weren't standing around my broken furniture.
Tao Jun was standing beside a crack in my wall, Lin Cheng was suspiciously close to what used to be my coffee table, and there was a pile of ashes on the floor that could have once been human.

I narrowed my eyes at him immediately.
