"Short-sighted!" Leonard gritted his teeth as he paced around the room. "I originally only needed to sacrifice a few people to settle this matter. But now I have to sacrifice my trump card in the independent continent. You're really… If the Empress still didn't have a use for you, I would have dealt with you today, even without Qiao Nian doing anything!"
Ji Ziyin was embarrassed.
She was in the wrong, so she could only accept his scolding.
She waited for Leonard to finish before pursing her lips and saying, "Elder Leo, what happened has already happened. I've done something wrong and will personally apologize to you after this. But what should we do now… If she catches that person and that person rats me out, I will never be able to become the patriarch again. This will also ruin the Empress's plan."
"So you know it would ruin the Empress's plan?" Leonard wanted to strangle her.
