Chapter 288: Enchantress

I sure as hell knew that to become the top dog these days, besides a smart brain and tactics, the most important thing was being ruthless and cold-blooded.

Cheng Yu did use me, and hanging around him came with certain risks, but it was only by sticking by his side that I could achieve my own goals.
