Chapter 721:
With a calm, deliberate motion, Verruckt rolled up his sleeves. The cufflinks on his shirt gleamed in the dim light, drawing attention to his long, powerful fingers as he prepared for what was coming next.
âIf you had any sense, youâd have walked away by now. Instead, youâre making a grave mistake by trying to stand in my way,â he said, his voice cold and composed.
