Kapitel 553: Giving Him A Taste Of His Own Medicine

Yuan Hongdao struggled into consciousness. He had an immense pain in the back of his head. He didn't know what environment he was in. Since he had a career that required him to spend many years hidden at the enemy's side, he had the habit of remaining silent at all times.

Return to Xinyang!
