In the face of that million-watt smile, He Juan found himself utterly speechless.
Throughout his life, receiving such genuine goodwill from a stranger was a rarity – well perhaps it was the norm before the tragedy of his parents struck. But after that, He Juan had grown accustomed to people fearing him, fleeing at the mere sight of him, so much that he'd start doubting whether they had a hidden agenda when they showed him a smile.
However, now that he knew A–Yu's – Kang Guanyu's – real identity, a piece of distant memory floated to the forefront of his mind.
The details of the year and location had become a blur to him, but he recalled that he had been at a warehouse, issuing commands to his Beta men to ensure the safety of the kidnapped children and young Omegas. He had kept his distance because he knew very well how his mere presence could terrify them.
