Chapter 166: Love

Noel gave a knowing smirk, her gaze cool but piercing. "If an all-out war breaks out, there's no guarantee that any of your companions would survive," she said, her tone chillingly confident. "With a single flick of a Voidwalker's finger, they would all be dead. Even with the protection of your army, that doesn't guarantee any of them would escape unharmed."
