Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3340 The Ultimate Gamble

Glaucus fell silent as he stared at Calbhach. Even though anger bubbled inside him, confronting Calbhach felt like striking a wall of fluff. He glanced around at the heads of the different families in the room, and tiredness crept onto his face.
