"Speak to me!"
The Crown Prince's words exploded like thunder in Ji Wuming's ears. His lips moved. "The mission... has failed."
"Ji Wuming!" The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, articulating each word. "I told you, as long as it's a one-for-one trade, it's a win. Are you saving our trump card for the next generation?"
"Crown Prince, it was used." Ji Wuming's words carried a deep sense of bewilderment.
Ji Gui was stunned.
Used? Then how could Xu Lai possibly still be alive?
That was a juvenile Taotie. It would eat anything it saw; there was no way it would have let him go. He had even resolved to sacrifice Mount Haitang, East Sea City, and even pay the enormous price of letting the Taotie destroy all of Jiangnan. What was a mere Jiangnan compared to retaking the entire Zhu Lang field?
But his subordinate's words were so incredible that the Crown Prince couldn't believe them, even suspecting the man was lying.
