Nightmare Assault Chapter 31: Target

“Erm…” The middle-aged man with the tank top looked at the woman’s side profile, and his lips trembled. When he opened his lips, he realised he didn’t even know her name. He asked awkwardly, “May I ask for your name?”

The woman glanced at him and said lightly, “Xu Wen.” Her voice was unique. It sounded experienced and coarse. The woman’s willingness to answer gave the man some hope.
