Chapter 79 Utilizing Value

I didn't say a word.

Master Zhao was deep in thought, and I had no idea what he had in store for me by bringing me back. If he didn't make a move, neither would I.

"Huanhuan, you've been by my side for a decent stretch, you're not as wild as Chen Jiao, nor as dumb. You're a smart one, that's why you've managed to stick around for so long." Master Zhao's voice betrayed no emotion, and I couldn't fathom why he was suddenly saying all this.

My body tensed, scanning the surroundings. There was no one else in the villa, it seemed they had been deliberately cleared out. If tonight Master Zhao truly had something sinister planned for me, there would be no one to come to my rescue.

My voice trembled slightly as I began to speak, "Master Zhao, I—I haven't."

I had witnessed many of Master Zhao's methods of grinding people down, and I was terrified he might unleash them all on me tonight.
