"Second on the Holy List... truly unthinkable!" Qin Yun murmured. He deeply regretted not taking matters into his own hands and getting rid of Su Chen when he had the chance.
"Alas, who could have predicted it would come to this..." he sighed.

His initial plan was to frame him, just as he had done with Wei Zhenghong.

His personality was practically that of an ascetic, and his rise was far beyond anything he could have predicted.
