Chapter 926: Winter (Ch.927)
"What is that supposed to an?!" Jian hissed, taking a threatening step forward, "What madness have you done this ti, Asrig?"
Asrig clicked his tongue, shaking his head slowly. "Madness? No, never that."
"I am a man of science," he stretched his hands out, "And ambition."
