Huo Guanchen could even taste the sweet and metallic flavor of blood at the back of his throat. He wanted to spit.

Tan Guiren looked truly shocked and terrified. Her brain couldn't think properly. Forsaking her elegance and the need to avoid conflict of interest, she directly asked Huo Shaoheng fearfully, "Major General Huo, did you actually think that?! I didn't..."
