UWP - Chapter 64 - Bai Zhi's Solution

"Hmph, there are many ways to beat you. The question is which one shall I use?" said Bai Zhi coldly as he ran his gaze along the large, weathered cabinets behind the ragdoll.

"You seem to have a rather low opinion of humans, don't you? Is it that fun for you?"
