Chapter 616 Conflict And Destruction (Part Four) (1/2)

Lucy smiled brightly, ”Yes, it does,” she said. ”You know this painting is specially painted for you.”

Jeff stepped forward a little. His eyes shone golden like the stars glinted in the darkness. ”I know, that this was your final work before graduation. You were waiting for me all this time. You and I, together we'll conquer the world together,” he said in such a blank tone that made Lucy think if he was just trying to pull one on her.
