Chapter 252: The Shadow Before the Storm

Granny Zha was silent.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Because in the face of absolute strength, everything else seems insignificant.

Mio gently patted her head and muttered. "I heard the World Government's scientists are close to perfecting a method for safe passage through the Calm Belt. When that happens..."
"Heh."
