Chapter 721 Shadow Mountains (1/2)
”He's confident. Maybe it's because he can kill the Shadow King. Or he'll court death because of his arrogance. Either way, it's good news for us,” Connor said. ”When their conflict results in the death of one of them or both of them, it will be easier for us to get what we want.”
