Watching Fang Xiaocao's puzzled small eyes, Tom smiled and turned to Taotie, "Taotie, after all, I wasn't there, so I'm not so clear about what happened. Why don't you, the person involved, tell us?"
Looking at Tom's playful expression, Taotie rolled his eyes and chuckled dismissively, "Actually, it's nothing. This woman wasn't cooperative, so when I pressed her for the location of the treasure map, I might have been a little too ruthless!"
Taotie spoke lightly, but Xiaocao certainly didn't believe it was as easy as he said.
The ruthlessness even Taotie admitted meant Xiaocao could already imagine just how inhumane his methods were. To leave such a significant psychological shadow on a well-trained elite assassin gave some indication of his brutality.
Xiaocao gave Taotie a disdainful look, "Tom, wake up Wan Xiaozhou. I'll handle it!"
"As you wish, Princess Your Highness!"
Tom nodded and responded.
