Chapter 849 Why Is She Always The Unlucky One

Biting her lower lip hard to hold her sobs back, she murmured. “It’s okay. Are you okay over there? Is it overly dangerous!

When she was in Tayhaven back then, she heard Muprary was in a state of great turmoil. Warfare raged year-round there, and it was common for thugs to open fire and kill people.
